Thankgiving Friday!

Me and my dad

It's a happy Friday again... No, it's a joyful Friday today! The joy of the Lord is my strength.

Today I celebrate my father's homegoing. I am so blessed. I am blessed to have had such a wonderful father in my life. I have learned so much from him. My faith, my view on family, my outlook on marriage... so many aspects of my life are colored by my father's tutelage and example. Thank You, Lord, for blessing me to have such a treasure as my own.

I'm also thankful today for my family. Both my blood relatives and spiritual relatives have been so supportive during this time. They have been such a strength to my mom, sister, and myself. I don't know how we could have survived this week without them. I am so honored to have them in my circle. Thanks, God, for giving them to me!

Finally, again, I am thankful for the Lord's perfect peace that has passed all my understanding! I can truly say that I have not been worried or agitated at all this week. That alone means so much. God, thank You for being there for me.

I thank God for you all as well, readers. I appreciate all of your prayers and words of encouragement during this time. God bless you all!

Today's verse of the day was one of my dad's favorites.

Verse of the Day: ...for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20b
