Okay... this has been on my heart all day long...
During my devotional time this morning something came to me. This may seem difficult for you to understand, but this just hit me today. I've known for such a long time that I must praise God and give Him all of the glory for what He does in my life! Yes, I've prayed to Him, I gave thanks to Him. Yes... I have. I even sing about it! But...not until just THIS morning, I learned that He wants to hear that I LOVE Him. I know I should know this, I really do.
But...Remember the other day when my son told me through tears that he loves me, he appreciates me...and all of the other things a parent wants to hear from their children? Well, I HAVE NEVER talked to God like that. I've never been a daughter and REALLY thanked my Father for all He's done like my son did! This probably doesn't make any sense to you and is just very obvious. But the feeling I got when my son told me those things was overwhelming. I know how happy it would make Him! I feel so badly that after ALL He's done for me (and continues to do), I have never even told Him! I just have one thing I need to make clear...
and it's this...
I Love You, Lord.
You probably think I am the weirdest person you've known, (read about)!

Not weird at all! I love you is sometimes the easiest thing to forget to say!
No, I think you are honest and transparent...and that's a good thing. Don't we all tend to 'put on airs' and try to make others think we are something we are not? Or better than we really are? I am guilty myself,at times. So, your post is refreshing...and so true. Thanks for the reminder and giving me something to think about.
Blessings to you today
Oh girl..you are just like all of us. We KNOW so much but don't do all that we should....to honestly give Him praise and glory for everything should be more than just words...it should come straight from our heart. You are there....you have a whole new concept for your personal praise towards Him!
May we truly praise His name!! You have reminded us and challenging us to give Him the glory in all we say, think and do!!
Very much, I understand. Very well put, Angie!
Thanks for your prayers! We'll get together Thursday again. I'm encouraging her to get counsel and to listen to the Lord (and not the voice of so many who'd tell her to just give up). Thank you!! You are so precious. I hope we can get together some day.
Praying for you to keep that tender heart before the Lord.
Love in Him,
Holly
I don't think you're weird at all!
I just love how He shows us so much - about oursleves and Him - through our children.
How wonerful that you heard His voice and got a glimpse of His heart. And now you're delighting His heart!
Wow, you've posted a LOT since I've been here! I've enjoyed catching up! All that I read has been great...thanks for sharing as much as you do! :-)
You are so dern precious!!
I wish I could give you a big hug and tell you how much you mean to God.
I love that He revealed this to you through your son's revelation to you a few days ago.
God is so good and He loves you so much!!
Blessings,
Kim
Not weird at all...very wonderful.

What a wonderful message for us all!! Not weird at all!
Seems like forever since I've visited your blog. I sure missed everyone and knowing what was happening while I was on my trip. It's been fun "catching up" with what you've been doing. So many good posts.
Hugs!
