Blessed

When I was pregnant with each of my three sons, I would pray everyday that God would give each of my children a musical talent that would be used for Him. He gave me my desire! All of my boys were blessed with musical talent. Jonathan is the bass player for the Praise and Worship team at the church he goes to. He plays with such passion for the Lord. Philip has a beautiful sax that he plays. It seems as though God himself plays it. He plays like He speaks the notes. He came in third, in the International Teen Talent, in 2002. He was 17. Nathanael, plays the drums on the same team as Jonathan. His ability to hear beats is amazing. It has to be from God. He bounces all the time around the house. If he sits very long, he has this imaginary drum that he is playing on. I guess that is the way all drummers do!! He sits and plays the keyboard and just meditates on the Lord. I guess, the point I am trying to make is, when you focus on the Lord and live for Him and desire to draw close to Him, He will give you what you ask for. I didn't want material things. It is nice to have them, though. I wanted my children to know Him to the fullest. I have seen it devolpe over their lives as I watch them grow. Wayne and I are so blessed that God gave us three fine young men that love the Lord like they do and want to serve Him with all their hearts. Dana, Philip's wife, is so amazing. She is so good to Philip. She watches over him like a hawk. Words cannot describe what we feel for her. She was an angel that God sent to our family. Besides, the Lord knew that I needed another girl around, with all of these guys!!!! Dana, sings beautifully. It is not just words that come from her. It is love that she expresses for her Lord. She does not sing for recognition. She sings only to Jesus and no one else. Yes, I am proud of what God has given to me. He gave me my desire and more. I just love Him so much. I love you also, Jonathan, Philip, Dana and Nathanael. You make your dad and I proud. Keep living for the Lord. Thank you, Jesus.
