A Letter To The Father
Dear Heavenly Father, Abba. Daddy. Almighty Creator. Everlasting God. First of all, Thank You for this day, for the breaths You have allowed me to take, for the fingers that type this letter to You (I thought about handwriting – taking the time to write the ‘old-fashioned’ way – but decided against it, perhaps because…
An Easter Miracle
Many years ago when I was looking for work after completing University, my mother and I prayed a lot together about many intentions, including my desire to find a good job where I could put my education, skills, and talents to use.
