Happy birthday


Today our youngest son turns 26 years old. My prayer for him is that he will always keep the joy of the Lord in his life.
So often when we pray for people we pray that their circumstances will change but we need to remember that more important is that they will have the joy of the Lord.
Yesterday I spent time with a man who had just recently been separated from his wife. Now I know that God wants to bring healing to that marriage but before that he wants healing for the parties involved. We need to pray that in spite of the circumstances that they would have the joy of the Lord.
That is why more than anything else I pray that each of my children will experience the joy of the Lord in their lives.
