PRAYER--pass it on!!!

I was so blessed this morning. I opened my email inbox and there was this message from a friend. It read:

Dear Angela,

I am praying through my email address book and today is your day.
May God bless you!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for Angela and Cory and their desire to follow you where ever you lead. Thank you for the things you had them learn in Germany that are equipping them for the purposed you designed for them. You directed their path although the journey was short. Thank you also for bringing them safely back to Boise.

Give them wisdom as they are teaching their children to look for Your best plan. Give them knowledge and peace as they balance work, homeschooling, activities and rental. Give them strength to face each battle looking for Your definition of victory!
Amen

Wow! That was just about all I could say. I don’t think I had ever received such an email before. I was so touched it brought tears to my eyes. So, if God gives you an opportunity to do so, bless someone like this and pass it on…

Last on his list???

So, my husband says to me the other day, as he is reeling off a number of things he would like to do or accomplish before the day is over, “And you. You are last on my list.”

Me? Last on his list? I had to laugh about it later. You could definitely take that one of two ways:

1. I am last on his list. The end. Bottom of the barrel. Final place.
Or
2. I am last on his list. I am what he wants to find waiting at the end of a long day. I am wanted. Treasured. Adored.

Yeah, I think I will pick option number 2, not only because that is clearly how he meant it, if you could have seen his face but also because this is my husband we are talking about; He is not eloquent; just straight-forward and to the point.
