SURFING WITH JESUS
Pastor Gene A. Dasher, Sr.
I can’t believe it; this is the
Last Day of 2014
No, it can’t be? This is the last day of
2014? I must be getting old because I can’t remember where all this year has
gone. The “ole” folks use to say the older you get the faster life passes you
by. Hum, do I have to accept I am one of them “ole” folks now?
Don’t laugh at me, some of you know what I
mean. Whew! It seems the year just begin but then, I think a moment and begin
to remember all that has taken place and I guess it is the end of 2014.
So, Lord, thank you for this another year on
planet earth and thank you for being with me each step of the way. You know, I
had a scare or two but you kept your promise and did leave me.
I want to thank you for the days I was able
to walk and sing, and listen to your still small voice and hear the birds and
other creatures sing unto you. Thank you Lord for feeling your spirit as I
communed with you during these precious times as you gave me strength for each
day.
Lord, thank you for helping us as we had some
hard times with my daughter and her cancer and my son and his continual battle
with his legs. I also thank you for helping my wife with her legs and feet and
me with my aches and pains and eye surgery and dental situations. You are a
great big wonderful God and I just want to give you a hug.
Lord, thank you for helping our little flock
at church as they overcame struggles in their lives this year. We are still
here, we still come each Sunday to lift your name in praise and receive
strength for yet another day. Thank you Lord.
And now here it is another end of the year
and we are still here, Lord we haven’t forgotten your word; we are still
looking for your return and believe it is near. Help us as we finish this year
to not grow weary or faint but to rest upon your promises and lean not to our
own understanding of the day but to trust and obey you as you direct our path.
Well, here I go out to use up this last day
you have blessed me with in 2014, I hope to see you soon in 2015. I’m excited
about what you have in store for me. Thank you again for being there and being
here. I love you.
REMEMBER
“If we confess our sins he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9
