From my heart...
Sat, June 20, 2009 at 02:00PM I've been wanting to write this for a long time. This is from my heart to yours.
Jesus Christ is Lord, God and King.
Jesus Christ lived for me, died for me, and lives again for me. No one else will ever do that.
Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all unrighteousness and has given me eternal life. No one else can do that.
Jesus Christ lives in me by his Spirit because he wants to be near me. No one else wants to be that close to me.
No one loves me like Jesus does. No one ever will.
Jesus Christ is trustworthy and honest. He never lies to me; he always tells me the truth.
I love the Lord Jesus Christ. I try every day to live for him, to bring him glory, and every day I fail. I fail to live the life that he lived. Thank God he lived it for me so when I fail his grace is sufficient.
Jesus allowed me to be born of parents with no peers. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus gives me air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat, and a place to sleep. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus gave me a brother and two sisters. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus led me to my patient wife, my gift from God. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus allowed us to have three daughters that have grown to be lovely in every way. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has blessed our family with love, honesty and faithfulness. My children all love us, love each other, and love Jesus. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has always paid the bills. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has blessed us with three caring sons-in-law that love our girls and grandchildren. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has blessed my wife with the ability to love and care for over 350 developmentally disabled people. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has blessed me to walk out the calling he's given me and to bless people, in his name, in Gig Harbor and all over the globe. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has always been, and will always be, my teacher.
Jesus has healed me numerous times and put me back on my feet to serve him and others. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has taught me about his Father and his Holy Spirit. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has literally saved my life at least six times that I know of. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has allowed me to pray for people and see miracles happen. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has allowed me to cast out demons and heal the sick. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has given me eternal friendships from one end of the earth to the other. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus continues to teach me, train me, and entrust eternal things to me. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus comforts me and strengthens me. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus speaks to me in my spirit. I am never alone. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has given me a heart for the world. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has allowed me to feel his pain for broken people. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has conquered fear in me. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus has never given up on me. Thank you, Lord.
Jesus will finish the work he started in me. Thank you, Lord.
I could go on and on with thanksgiving for what Jesus has done for me, my family and all who have attended church with us. At the end of the day I know that Jesus loves me. Thank you, Lord.
I know he's always with me. I know he'll never leave me or forsake me. I know he's given me everything I need for life and godliness. I know that he's blessed me with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms. I know that his glory is upon me when I suffer for his sake.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord.

I have one question: What does "Jesus allowed me to be born of parents with no peers. Thank you, Lord." mean? What does it mean to be "born of parents with no peers." - I think it means your parents were very unique and better than any other parents you've ever known? That would be true for me, as well. They weren't perfect, but they sure had a lot of integrity and I always knew they loved me - my dad was my biggest fan - I'm sure he still is, cheering me on from heaven, where my mom and brother also are. I miss them all very much. I am still motivated by their love to be all that God created me to be, and live out the rest of my days walking in all the things He created me to do.
