Devotion

Today would have been my father's birthday. As I think about him and the influence he had on my life, I realize I was truly blessed with loving parents that shared God's love with me.  They were not perfect but they were great examples.  Throughout my life whenever it seemed very difficult to continue my dad constantly reminded me of God's love and faithfulness.  He often shared stories with me and with our children about WW2.  The stories were lighthearted about good things that happened to him during this time.  Only after his death did I find a photo album that showed some of the things he endured.  He never spoke of those things but always about his faithful Savior.  As I think about this it makes me wonder if I am sharing the same faith with all those around me and I am challenged to do that.  
I would encourage you today to really think about God's faithfulness in your life as well and share that with those around you.
