Daily Devotional from JoyGreetings! It is April 18th, a special day because it is my earthlyfather's birthday. My eleven siblings and I base much of our conception ofhow wonderful the Heavenly Father is on how wonderful our earthly father was. He was a humble, poor man that was rich in Spirit, whose eyes sparkled with life and mischief, who treasured the value of life and others,and who taught us much of life's lessons, though often bowed with the painhe carried with him from childhood when he broke his back falling onto amanger. We were the richest "poor" kids in the world!He (and Mother) taught us to love God, love each other, love our country andthe people of the world, love the creation of the Father, and above allthings, to give praise and glory to God every day. Embodied is a copyof a poem Daddy wrote the day after his 66th birthday, in his ownhandwriting. His instructions to us many times a day was always, "don'tforget to praise the Lord."The scripture says if our earthly father knows how to give the best he canto his children, how much more does the Heavenly Father know and want togive the best to His children. If you are a parent, sharing the love of Godwith your children is the most important thing you can do!Enjoy the love of your Heavenly Father today. And don't forget to praise theLord!Blessings on you!
