I Am Blessed!

Today I am singing ---
    "I am blessed!  I am blessed!  Every day that I live, I am blessed!
When I wake up in the morning 'till I lay my head to rest,
    I am blessed!  I am blessed!

My heart is filled with praise and thanksgiving today as I look back over the years!  I think of the many years of ministry with Dad, and as the songwriter said:  "I don't regret a mile we traveled for the Lord!"
 If Dad was still here, we would be celebrating his 79th birthday today!  (What fun the younger grandchildren & great grandchildren would have trying to blow out 79 candles)!!!
I might be making his favorite cake, "Italian Creme", but today he is eating "Angel" food cake, and I know it far surpasses the best Italian Creme on this earth!!

The family misses you today, Dad, but as we take a little time to look back over the years, I believe we would choose this quote from Henry Van Dyke and say from our hearts --- "That was my Dad; that was my Grandpa!"

     "There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world.  It is to stoop down and lift those around us a little higher."
