You Know Who...

I want to first give a shout out to my main man Craig on his birthday!!!!  Baby, I hope you enjoy your special day!!!!

Gracie left little notes on our pillows last night.  She is a really thoughtful young lady like that.  My note said "Thank you for reading with me" and Craig's said "Thanks for being a great dad."  The notes were so very sweet and her daddy and I loved them very much, but it was how she signed the notes that really hit me (not literally-that's just a figure of speech).  She signed them from "you know who".  Sure, we knew who they were from.  For one thing, Noah's writing skills are not quite up to leaving sweet notes on our pillows and Maddie, well, she would've eaten the paper long before attempting any kind of note.  We were confident that Gracie left the notes.  It was her handwriting and we have gotten notes like this before.  It was in her character to share her love for us in this way.

This got me thinking about the many things that our Great Father does for us.  The blessings that He alone gives us each day.


"You know who".....when that car comes so close to hitting you and you come away without a scratch or bruise, or,  also "you know who" gives you comfort when the car does hit you and maybe you or someone you love is really hurt.

You know who..... when that wonderful man that you love with all your heart proposes to you and promises you forever, and you also know who is there to sustain you when maybe that same man doesn't keep his commitment to you and it hurts so bad.

"You know who".... when you get the call that you or your husband got the job that you had been praying for (for what feels like forever and a day), and also "you  know who" provides the ability to keep on persevering  when the phone is just not ringing (been here on both sides).

He encompasses every single facet of our lives.  He's the One we can throw down with with a little "Celebrate Good Times", and He is also the one who holds us while we are in our bed crying our eyes out.  Don't you just love Him?  Let's give praise and glory to the One who loves us like crazy.  You know what He says to us in 2 Thess. 3:5? Well, let me tell you.  It says that He wants our hearts to be directed to His love.  If we can get a hold of the monstrous love He has for us, it will change our thought patterns. More than that it will change our lives.
