What wonderful praises you both have! Jeani, I am so happy to hear about your son!

I praise God that my son now lives nearby.

I praise God that my son's surgery went well and next week, we will find how how successful his surgery was when the device is activated.
I praise God for technology!

I praise God for my husband's new doctor who has a large painting in his office titled "Chief of Staff" and it's a picture of Jesus guiding the hands of a surgeon.

I praise God that we live in such a wonderful part of the country.

I praise God for our dog, Sugar, who is our "baby".

I praise God that He "placed all things under (Jesus') feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way." Ephesians 1:22-23

Another praise. It's funny but I almost forgot this.

Yesterday, on the way home from the doctor (70 miles) we listened to weather alerts on the radio all the way. We ended up driving through a "tornado warning" area with "golf ball sized hail" for about 25 miles. The radio announcer was telling listeners to get in basements and out of cars, etc. but we had nowhere to go so we just kept driving. It's all open country, with no shelter or places to stop. It was an ominous drive and the clouds were black but God brought us through it without so much as one hailstone.

I love this part of the country. I have even seen a tornado, up close, that destroyed a large farm and yet I never feel afraid here because this is where God brought me to introduce me to His Son.

Praise Him.

I want to thank and praise God for all he has done for me and my family. That He allowed me to be born in a period of grace--because, I would have probably been too stubborn and "cocky" in any other time.

Also His blessed patience--God could have taken me any time during my life. And He would have been right in doing so--the blasphemes I've committed would have been justification enough. However, because of His love, He provided a glint of maturity and a desire to learn about Him--eventually providing for my salvation. I have let Him down so many times, but yet, He has not struck me down.

Also, I thank God for His mercy that fell upon my family as well--despite my rebellion and stupidity. And praise God that He has provided a spirit in my family of acceptance and openness to His Mighty Word. And because of this, I am not "unevenly yoked" with my wife nor my daughters. I have seen the distress this has caused others--and I praise God for not putting me through this dissension nor heart break.

All my life, I've known what is "right", had a "gut feeling" what was true...but yet resisted it or didn't want to recognize it. I publicly apologize to God for wasting my life, time and worship. I can never make up this time nor what I should have been doing. I can never make things right or make up for this time--thank you God for providing a "time" for me to be born in a period that allows your loving Grace and Your sacrifice of Yourself, in the flesh, as a means of atonement and forgiveness.

Thanks for all of the praises...

We ask for prayers,and I think we should give God more praises, than we do....

Maybe this can be a 'praise' report each week...

Don't you love to hear from your own children how much they appreciate you?

I know I do....

Thanks for participating....

God is so worthy to be praised....in all things!!

So wonderful to hear this from everyone.

Thank you Jeanie for starting this.

Maybe this can be a 'praise' report each week...

Great Idea!!!
