Remember I told you that Billy wrote the family a blessing every week. I have been challenged again to ask myself some of the questions that Billy asked. Do I really receive what God says about me? Do I want to live life with the full measure of the Love that I have promised? Do I believe God in difficult circumstances. Do you? The background on this blessing: Billy had a medical test that was going to cost alot with the possibility of a cancer diagnosis. We had just started working at the church. Money was a small issue but some good friends gave us a check that covered the expenses exactly.
"Life is a special gift. Having wrestled through that last week we all certainly were forced to look at it (life) and consider what a gift it is.And what is that gift? It is the relationships we have with one another. That is the gift of life,to love and be loved. And I am. And so are you. Let me share a scripture the Lord directed me to last week. James 1:2-6,12 Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You'll get his help,and won't be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought...Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life and more life.THE MESSAGE
It was a wonderful week last week to be bathed in love...to feel everyone's love was awesome. I am blessed. And I want you to know that you are the reason why. You bless me. And I feel so special because of you.Your ARE a blessing. You have been transformed into instruments of God's love, grace and mercy. I experienced it. YOU ARE A BLESSING.
And I thank God for you,"
Dad

Mom

You certainly are a blessing to me - multiplied many times over.
I love how dad opened up to us about his joys and concerns. He discipled us not just from his words or even teaching, but sharing his life by showing us. I love you.
