America the Blessed

You caused our nation to be founded on the premise of Your Truths.

God​​ Shed​​ His​​ Grace on​​ Thee

The only one perfect, omnipotent and omniscient originator and ruler of the universe –​​ God​​ – the only​​ one worthy of all praise and worship. ​​ Please​​ continue​​ to pour​​ Your blessings on our country. ​​ Even while we were undeserving,​​ You caused our nation to be founded on the premise of​​ Your Truths. ​​​​ In​​ Your mercy,​​ You continue to​​ call hearts to​​ Yourself​​ as​​ You​​ miraculously​​ change lives forever. ​​ I humbly pray​​ Your grace continues to reach outward in the lives of those who have not yet bowed before​​ You as Lord and Savior. ​​ Keep our hearts light with hope for the future, keep our eyes looking to encourage others with​​ Your word. ​​ America, with its spacious skies,​​ fields​​ of grain, majestic mountains and fruited plains – see how we are blessed! ​​ Heavenly Creator and Father of all things, cause us to use​​ Your blessings and resources for​​ Your glory. ​​ 

Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

You know it's difficult to write about yourself. The most important fact I can disclose is that I'm saved by God's grace through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. My desire is to live a life honoring to God in response for the gift of salvation I've been given. This is so much easier said than done! I struggle daily with right choices, right words, right thoughts, and right actions. My best and only defense against sin is the power of God in me and for that I am inexpressibly thankful. I have three amazing grown-up children who have responded to God's call in their lives along with their spouses. One of the great joys of my life is knowing my children and their families strive to serve and follow God. My grandchildren are another wonderful joy in my life! My husband and I are blessed with four beautiful grandchildren to date with another expected very soon on September 12th. We also are thankful for the comforting knowledge that an additional three of our grandchildren, a set of twins at three months gestation and a little boy, Isaac, at four and a half months gestation, are in our Savior's presence. I have attended the same church since the day my eyes were opened to Truth over thirty years ago. How fortunate it is to have been led by God’s hand immediately to a church body that follows the Bible, no man-made doctrines, just the Word clear and strong. My husband is my best friend, my confidant, my encourager, and I still can't believe how blessed I am by his example of love and generosity towards everyone around him. He is God-fearing, compassionate, and kind and I have learned so much from him. I am a daughter to my almost 92 year-old mother, sister to three brothers, a wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, aunt, great-aunt, neighbor and friend. That means, whomever is reading this, we probably have something in common! I love every unique role I have been placed in. I'm frequently stretched and sometimes feel like silly putty that wants to bounce right back into my comfort zone. My greatest ambition is to be a follower of Jesus; a light that shines for Him at all times, in all circumstances. So, there it is, a bit about me. I guess I was able to write about myself after all! However, my existence cannot be defined without Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior. His love has permeated my life to His glory and my eternal thankfulness.
