We had placed a kitchen aid on our wedding registry, but never received it. The day before we went to Faith Acres we talked about how nice it would be to one day own one to make meals for our friends and family, and host other newly married couples from our church. One was donated the very first day we came, we are so grateful for that wink from God that he cares even about something as simple as a new mixer.

"HELP US TO PLAY WELL IN THE PLAYPEN"

Here on the 250 yr. of American, Happy, HAPPY 4th.of July! We thank God for a country that we can choose to love whoever God puts before us at any given time. In the last week we've been with almost every different kind of person from every race, religion, color, political spectrum, small, large, healthy, sick and we CHOOSE TO LOVE!

Do we agree on everything, live the same way, tolerate evil, noooo but this is the BEAUTYYYY of being in America. No one tells US I must believe this, you must belive this! We get to choose to Love God with our Heart, Soul, Mind & Strength, and Love our Neighbor as we love ourselves regardless of our crazyyyy difference.

GOD IS SO MUCH BIGGER THEN OUR DIFFERENCES, AND GOD GIVES US THE FREEDOMS TO CHOOSE TO LOVE HIM FIRST!

Where is "THE US" in this? NEWSFLASH, we are not the great "I AM", GOD IS! When any culture, country, replaces God with foolish ideologies and places created things as their gods, these nations crumbles!As long as we have breath and life we get to choose GOD'S WAYS, or our ways.

When we humble ourselves and admit we are naturally selfish individuals from birth, wanting our own selfish ways allllll the time, it's here HONESTY with God takes place and we break out of bo***ge. We need Gods supernatural love, mercy, forgiveness grace, justice, redemption and peace to overcome our selfishness, to play well in the PLAYPEN!

Did you know that Anger, Bitterness, Unforgiveness will only destroy the individual, family, town, city, culture, nation, continent, world that holds it?

The choice is ours, choose this day whom you will serve, but for me and my house we will serve the LORD! We thank God that we live in America and for all those who have gone before us to give us these freedoms, we thank you beyond words!

Let's do something radical today, lets humble ourselves, admit to God we are lost, selfish, and have put everything else before him. Let's ask him for his very Spirit to help us love Him and others, even our crazy family members, LOL!

For the sake of the children, "GOD ALMIGHTY, HELP US TO PLAY WELL IN THE PLAYPEN!" Happy, Happy 250th. 4th of July!

Happy Father Day to all the amazing Fathers! If you have a great father or strong father figure in your life, cherish them deeply.

So many children are fatherless and long for that father figure to take care of them. After I had lost my Father at 17, I longed to have that Father figure, Fathers Day, was just another day. One day I realized that no earthly father could be as extraordinary as God Our Father, in Heaven. Everything changed for me that day, "Why, was I wasting time looking for someone or something to fulfill my void in life, when God the Father is more then enough?"

So many families come to Faith Acres sharing centers and we are able to help, share because of God and the army of people he brings together in Lake, McHenry, Cook, Dekalb Counties and beyond to "Help You, Help Others!"

Consider sharing with Faith Acres Foundation though the "No-Show Banquet Fundraiser" here on Fathers Day, because from the very beginning of time, our Father in Heaven cared to share. Happy Fathers Day!

The First Thursday of May is the National Day of Pray each year. The history behind prayer in this nation is extrordary, the history behind the National Day of Prayer is fascinating.

It's not so much about looking as what others are doing around us, but it's looking internally as a people, a nation and acknowledging our own sins, turning away from it and asking God for mercy because we have drifted so far away from his spiritual and physical laws. The very spiritual and physical laws that hold individuals, families, towns, cities, states, a nation together.

The lawlessness around us that we see is not new, one just has to open the Bible and read that lawlessness has been in the hearts of mankind from the beginning. Without God Almighty in our lives, we are nothing and have no hope. Mankind left to themselves because worse then wild animals tearing eachother apart.

Never in our days have we seen such lawlessness around us and it's destroying the lives of individuals, families, communities, our nation, and it's all around us.

God says:
"If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land" This wisdom emphasizes humility, repentance, and seeking God individually first, promising healing and restoration individually and collectively.

Here on this National Day of Prayer 🙏, lets take time internally to humble ourselves, seek God and trully turn from our wicked ways.

If we are trully honest with ourselves, we all have junk in our trunks, different junk, different size trunks, nevertheless junk that needs cleaned up in our lives. Here, today, on this National Day of Prayer, lets acknowledge that junk to God, give him that trunk and ask him for the help to get it cleaned up, and the strength to follow through. It all starts internally and individually with US 😉!

History 🙏:

Days of Prayer have a long history in America. Colonists declared Days of Prayer during droughts, Indian attacks and threats from other nations.
