Abba, Father

Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” — Galatians 4:6

Because God has adopted us into His family, God also sent Jesus to save us.

And He sent the Holy Spirit into our hearts.

God is Abby, our Father.

Today is the birthday of Kirk's dad, Gary.

He and Rita adopted me into their family when I started dating Kirk.

We miss him and think of him and his mom Lucille especially this time of year.

They had December birthdays, and we would often celebrate together.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

We love and miss you.

Sons and Daughters

I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. — 2 Corinthians 6:18

Saturday was National Daughters Day.

Since I missed it, here is a photo of Abby and me.

We went to the Westgate for a Mother's Day tea.

And one of the workers there took our photo on the stairs.

A very fun afternoon and a Mother-Daughter time together.

God is our Father. 

We are his sons and daughters.

The Lord Almighty calls us His.

Daughter of God

“I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”  
— 2 Corinthians 6:18

Very comforting to know that I am a daughter of God, the living King.

And He is my Father, my Abba, and my Lord.

As the Almighty He holds the world in His hand and even knows the number of hairs on my head.

Slowly they are growing back, and I now have more than I can count, even though they are very, very short.

I can trust Him with my life.

When I'm weak, He carries me. Note there is just one set of footprints in the sand — His.

He has covered me with love. I am blessed beyond measure.
