My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Patricia Raybon … AT THIS LINK      … related a true story of a small-town doctor and his wife, who had a daughter with Downs Syndrome, prudently planning to start a small business which would one day include and provide for their daughter.  And ultimately, the daughter grew to be an integral part of the family bakery business, which was a thriving success.    

And if my readers have taken in and meditated on the Scriptures above; and we Christians are committed to living our lives, as Phil Wickham sings in the linked song, … prudently following the way Jesus leads us, … we’re going to come out more than “okay.”   We will thrive, doing life to way God leads us.  Personally, that’s the way I’m planing to go in my life.   How about you?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for showing me Your way to go …  today and tomorrow. .

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, … again today, Lord. … that  we plan to follow Your way again today.    … Amen
