Sunday Morning Wanderings and Prayer

These are my precious parents...Donald and Mary Nell Kimbough with my nephew Austin. Love them so! Daddy passed away on June 28th, 2011 and we are still grieving his death very much! I am allowing myself 10 minutes a day to grieve and the rest of the day to celebrate his life! He was an awesome man! Best deer hunter ever! Awesome turkey hunter too! He could call a turkey with his mouth and make the exact sound of a deer. I would give a million dollars to hear him call a turkey this morning. His laugh was contagious and he could tell a story like no other.

My mother is a sweetheart! If you can't get along with mother then you have the problem! Daddy was so proud of her! He thought she was the best seamstress ever and she is! She sews emaculant! She makes beautiful purses. I love all the ones I have. I can't wait for her to get to feeling better and make more!

Here's my prayer for today!
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for loving, gentle, providing, wonderful parents! I was and am a very lucky girl! I am who I am due to them and their guidance.
Here's my Thank You list for this day:
1. Thank You for my health!
2. Thank You for my Girls...I am so very blessed!
3. Thank You for a good life!
4. Thank YOU for visions of You through the Earth! (Example: the beautiful sky)
5. Thank You for my extended family! Especialy Ru!
6. Thank You for Salvation!
7. Mercy!
8. Grace!
9. Understanding!
10. Patience with me!!!! Please don't ever give up on me. I know You won't I do, but I need reassuring sometimes. Thanks.

Your grace and mercy are awesome! I do not deserve them! Salvation is a peace of mind for me. I just hope striving will get me there! Striving is the best I can do. I struggle, Lord. You know I do. I NEED YOU! I beg and beg and promise and then I fail all over again and again. I know you get so tired of my whinnings. But I cannot make it without YOU! Please, please just help me make it through today without my thorn winning. Allow me to do as I studied on Friday to do...when the thorn comes calling SING to YOU. Pray! I'm going to need help with this...You know I do/will. My thorn is calling everyday, 24/7 these days! I NEED You to take it away. The devil is remaining there with the thorn and pushing it deeper and deeper into me. Please send him sailing! Thank You!
In Jesus Holy and Awesome Name, Amen!!!
