Happy Birthday, Faith and Logan!

 

Then King David went in and sat before the LORD and said, “Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far? And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord GOD. You have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord GOD! And what more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Lord GOD! Because of your promise, and according to your own heart, you have brought about all this greatness, to make your servant know it. (2 Samuel 7:18–21 ESV).

 

Thanksgiving Day! I pray each of you who are reading this day’s devotional will have used the previous days to reflect on our wonderful, gracious Father in heaven who has given us so much. I’m returning one more time to Faith and Logan, as this is their birthday and they have been such an inspiration to me personally. You can see from the two pictures I’ve included a bit of the growth and development in their lives.

From young children to young adults they have given me so much to be thankful for; however, my ultimate gratitude must be centered in the work of grace in their lives.

 

Yes, they are Aggies through and through. Some might say they really didn’t have a lot of choice in that. I would say it a bit differently. They became what they saw modeled and heard taught. This is also true of their faith. They are Aggies; however, more importantly they are believers. That was also modeled and taught.

 

I am so thankful that their Mom and Dad were so intentional about that. I celebrate their accomplishments academically; and, I rejoice greatly in their journey of faith! Like King David in our reading today I echo his words: O Lord GOD! Because of your promise, and according to your own heart, you have brought about all this greatness, to make your servant know it. (v. 21). Happy Birthday, Faith and Logan! Thank God for His faithfulness in all things!

 

Have you learned to be thankful in all times… if not, begin today!
