Father, U R Amazing and Strategic!

God's Word:

15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. -1 Peter 3:15-16

my prayer:

Father, I thank U 4 this morning @ Wingmen when U orchestrated my four-part blessing.

First, my 76-year-old father joined me at Wingmen in Grapevine. Our lives have been separated by the brokenness of divorce, our selfish desires, and our pride. Thank you for UR Reconciliation, UR Mercy, UR Grace!

Second, the testimony of Jim, a hurting Dad that recently lost his son in a motorcycle accident and his role as husband to minister and walk beside his wife. It was especially amazing that U had us (a Father and Son) sitting at his table discussing life before and after his time of sharing. UR POWER in a room full of men laying hands on him and praying for him and his wife, the family, and the organ recipients that were blessed was truly a gift.

Third, our speaker, Jason Romano and the impact of his message and challenge to us as UR followers to be prepared to witness our hope in U wherever we are planted (1 Peter 3:15-16). Father, thank U for his brother's willingness to live UR instruction and witness U to Jason. May U bless them and their families beyond belief. (Graceful plug for his new book "Live to Forgive"  http://jasonromano.com/ and his ministry https://sportsspectrum.com/)

Finally, at the end of the morning, reconnecting after 10 years with a long-lost church and softball friend, Dan. U know the joys and struggles we have had in the past. It was his second time to attend Wingmen in Grapevine (http://wingmen.org/). Thank U for reuniting us in that setting and blessing us as we start the healing and the growing-forward process of becoming brothers in Christ again. 

Thanks B 2 U oh Christ! So-B-It! Amen!
