A blog from my xanga accout . . . "Fatherless yet never Fatherless"

One of my friends here is so loving and kind towards his dad in prison. I would give anything to have a dad that I could love like that. Growing up with just a mom was not terrible but I would not recommend single women to adopt. Children need a father to grow socially and spiritually in a healthy way. Its by the grace of God that I am the way I am today. I still would have preferred to grow up having an earthly father. But I am thankful I have my heavenly Father my Lord and Savior.  I've never shared these feelings with anyone but I have no reason to keep it to myself. Since Thanksgiving is coming up soon, I would like to thank God for giving me such a loving mother who would probably die for all of her children. She's been nothing but a blessing to us and no amount of thanksgiving can express the gratitude I have for her.

Thanksgiving and Praise

Love is the only measurement I have for you

Love is the only way I can express my gratitude

Love is the only way to reach my goal in life

Love is the only measurement I have that amounts to my feelings for you

Keep me close and never let go

Keep me warm and I will stay

Keep me here and never let die

Keep me safe and I will pray

Thanksgiving and Praise I give to thee

My Lord, my Savior, You are the wind to my mill

My Lord, my Savior, You are my guide of this tour called life

Thanksgiving and Praise I shout to thee

God you are my Father in Heaven and on earth

I love You more than water in a drought,

more than food for the hungry, words cannot express the love that is You

You are the air I need to breathe and the light I need to see

I just wrote this poem. I was inspired to write this blog by a good friend of my roommate. I pray that your relationship with your dad continues to grow and that you would both be blessings to each other. God has truly worked in your lives. I also pray that your brother would see the good in both you and your dad. I think its great that you're dad desires to share Christ and that you have the tools by which he can learn to do so. 

Thanks everyone for reading this! I love you! and remember . . .

Jesus loves you more!!
