Ask GOD to show you

Alright, you will have to excuse me while I wax sappy for a moment. Today is Trishia's birthday! I am so blessed to have her in my life, to be able to share this life with here. She is absolutely the best mate any man could have. I am grateful for her every day, not just her birthday. However, today, being her birthday, is a good day to acknowledge all that she does.

I get credit for tons of things that I have absolutely NO idea that we did. Someone will come up to me and say, "Hey, thanks for the card," or, "Hey, thanks for the gift basket," or, "Hey, thanks for the...". I always mutter the usual, "Oh, absolutely." I have no idea what they are talking about but Trish has sent them something, she was thinking of them, praying for them. And, I get credit just because I am married to her. Trish really knows why she is here.

Today's word is a quote from William Barclay that says, "There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why."

Now, of course, the greatest day is when we receive CHRIST as our SAVIOR and LORD, which is usually the day we discover why we are here. Trish knows why she is here - to serve GOD and to make others' lives better. She does it well. She does it humbly. She does it without expecting anything in return. She does it because that is what GOD has called her to do.

In honor of Trishia's birthday, my question for us all is, "Do you know why you are here?" We have all been called WITH a purpose. We have something to do. We have some tangible way to serve GOD, by serving others. You have experienced a great day - you were born. If you know JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOR, you have experienced the greatest day you ever will on this earth. Have you had the other great day? Do you know why you are here? If not, ask GOD to show you.

Be Blessed,
