Signposts in the road

Hello, it's been a while. Computer issues and very busy. Many stressors in life, some of which I can not even talk about yet here. I was thinking today, that what gift could I give everyone I know. This is the season of giving. God, the father gave his only son Jesus to us as a gift, we just need to receive it and not reject it. So in the spirit of giving what could I give to everyone. I think I have got it. One of my favorite movies of all time- is It's a Wonderful Life. I can not watch it enough, year after year I do not get tired of it. I even have it on VHS. I thought how fantastic it would be if each person in life could get a glimpse of the difference he or she makes on others in this short time that we are here. What an honor and blessing to get to see that. To truly know that what you do, what you say, what and how you pray, that smile, that hug, those kind words to a hurting heart, make such a huge rippling effect in the world; what a precious insight. I have decided to pray that for each person reading this, forwarding it, reposting it. I want the Lord to show you those people to whom you have made a difference in their life. I want him to show you specific things that have changed for the better for you being here and fighting the good fight and not giving up. That ordinary days become lifetime monuments, signposts in the road to guide others around you to a higher calling and purpose. I want to share with you a personal note one of my children wrote me. I don't think they would mind or I wouldn't share it. It blew me away and I realized it for what it is- the legacy I have been concerned about leaving it manifesting itself while I am here. Thank you Lord is all I can humbly say. Read on- **"I'm sorry mom. I didn't mean to be rude when I said I didn't want any Christmas presents. And then when I told you to take them back cause you had already bought some. The Lord had just spoken to me today. He showed me that I have the greatest gift that could ever be given/received, but yet many of His children don't have that gift. So I wanted to honor the Lord and give up my presents. I don't need materialistic presents to remind me of the greatest gift that I already have. God has already reminded me of that. So that's just my heart on the subject. Whatever you choose to do I'm fine with because I also want to honor you and dad. :)" As you have probably figured out, I am humbled with receiving this msg from my child. So you see why I pray this for you, the Lord showed me this. He showed me the difference I am making. This is all about him though. It is the Lord who gives me what I need to help my child to this point. It is the Lord who gives my child this wonderful understanding and discernment and heart. The blessing comes even though it's all for him. He is showing me while I am still here the legacy I am leaving. He once again answers my prayers right before my eyes in spite of myself! Praying for you that the Lord reveals your "It's a Wonderful Life." to you! Because He lives- it is!
