Hello my friends, praying your week is going well. Time for thankful Thursday, let the praises begin. Open your heart, and share your blessings. God is truly blessing me with some precious changes in my life. He has brought my dad into my life, which continues to bless my heart daily. We are now going to church together on Wednesdays, and Sundays. Praising the Lord with my dad and my lovebug, how awesome is that? God has changed the words that come out of my dads mouth, from words of condemnation, to uplifting words. All my life, dad spoke very harshly to me, cursed me constantly, never had a kind word to say to me. Today, we were talking about my lack of hair, I told him that I was sorry if I embarrassed him in anyway. He made me cry by the words he spoke. He said that nothing I could do would embarrass him, that I was his daughter, and he loved me very much. Praise God, my dad loves me, just as I am. I have waited all my life for this moment in time. God is so good to me, thank You Father, for bringing such beautiful changes into my life. I give You all the praise for all the days of my life. I love You.

Oh what a joy to read, my friend. THAT is from the Lord's heart, isn't it?...to give you these precious words from your Dad, this affirmation of his love. May you have many more special times together.

I am rejoicing with you friend! What a blessing!
I am rejoicing with you - I too was reunited with my father a few years ago. One thing that I know and that is we serve a God of Restoration! Praising Him with you, Laurie
Your story brings tears of joy to my eyes and gladness to my heart, Denise!
I can't imagine what it is like to not have a loving father in your life but God knew the hurt and pain that he caused you. God in His mercy, grace and love for you...His daughter...changed your father and gave you the earthly father that you have longed for and needed your entire life. Your father is lavishing you with sweet words of love and praise to replace the painful words that once filled your heart. God is so amazing!
I am so happy for you, my dear friend!!!
Happy TT!
What a beautiful testimony about how God can redeem everything. I'm so happy for you that you and your father have established a new kind of relationship. I can tell you are deeply moved by it. God is so good, isn't He?
I am happy for you Denise. The Lord excels in Restoration. :)
Praise the Lord for the changes He has brought in your life. And, Praise the Lord for the change He has brought about in you father.
It is so awesome that God gives us back in greater portion from that which we have lost...He makes all things new. He restores all things. He is our Redeemer. So glad about your dad. Hugs to you!

Happy Thankful Thursday! Love ya!

Hey Denise!
So sorry I missed your post about walking in Australia...not sure how that happened! It was a complete oversight. Glad to hear you didn't get trampled on by any kangaroos...they can be nasty sometimes! Where are you heading next...maybe Savannah, Georgia to see the one and only, Ms. Paula Deen...or how about all the way to the Grand Canyon? Going hiking there can be a real workout! I'm so proud of you...keep on moving, girl!
