Thanksgiving Day

Man I feel huge right now! I ate way to much today or at least it feels like I did. Have you ever done this? No breakfast, no lunch and then, bring it on! I don't think I actually ate as much as normal I just ate all at once. Tomorrow, fasting.

I was actually thinking today of things much more important, I was wondering how many of my kids, (oxygen, kaio kids), were lonely today. Sometimes this actually weighs me down a little because I know not everyone that I love is experiencing the same love and exceptance that I feel every year around the holidays. I guess that's really what Thanksgiving is genuinly about, love, exceptance and I totally feel that so much from the people around me, I just pray the students God has placed in my life feel the same way. Sadly enough I know all of them do not. If I could today, Christmas day, Easter, New years and any day that was important to each of them, I would tell them how proud of each of them I am and how much I love them. . . . . . . . . The one thing that makes this feeling somehow Ok for me every year is that I know God is there Dad, he loves them more than the most incredible dad in the world.

My Prayer,
God, put Your arms around all of Your kids today. Let each them know how much You love them and care for them. Selfishly, I ask that each of them would know somehow, how much I love them as well. Sometimes life has dealt so many different hands out to so many different kids and they need to all feel that they are just as important to You as the next. The embrace of a father is something so many of Your kids need to feel right now. I know You hear me and respond, thank YOU.
