People often say to me “have a
blessed day” as a nice social Christian thing to say in parting. I completely agree that we are blessed in more
ways than we even know of on a daily basis. On some days however we can have an
exceptionally blessed day. I remember a
particular blessed day that happened during Mardi Gras, in New Orleans in 1981. This
was the day our daughter was conceived. My
wife and I had loose plans for having our first child after law school but our
daughter was born during my second year of law school. We jokingly said that
she was an accident but that was not true.
It was only our ignorance of the spiritual truths in the bible
speaking. Now we know that God incredibly
blessed our day by ordaining our daughter’s birth date; Psalm 139:13-16 and Jeremiah 1:5. We also know
that God determined the very time for our daughter to be born and where she would live; Acts17:26.
We rejoiced and have loved our baby
from the very beginning even before she was born. We are such lucky people to
have been blessed with our daughter and also with our son who was born a few years later. It is my hope and prayer that people everywhere will be strong enough to handle the blessing of parenthood. But should you lack the strength God will generously provide all the strength you need. Thank you and have a blessed day.
