Book to my son, Aaron.

Write it down::::

In the Old Testament, Israel was often instructed to remember what God had done. Writing down how He’s made Himself known to you personally will help you recall His goodness. It will also assist you in fighting the lies of the enemy, who says that you are helpless. God’s Word and your recorded testimony of His work in your life form a powerful weapon to make helplessness flee.

When in college I wrote down every time the Lord sent money in by others that I did nothing for and had not asked for other than the Lord. In the 5 years I was at TTU I saw over $9000.00 come in that were not from family. I have the writing still (wish I had the money too) and at times will get it out just to see. What an encouragement.

Before Aaron was born I started a book writing to him of my love, hope, dreams and expectations for him. I wrote of my love for his mom and her family, my family, grandparents that he has never met or would not remember due to his age. I wrote of the hard times and what the Lord did. I wrote of the heart breaks we had when changing churches and moving. I told of the fun we had as a family and what I had prayed to FATHER for him. I wrote of the divorce and the pain and now the recovery of the situation by the Lord even though it was not the outcome I had hoped for. I write now of his changes I see and what I see in him, of his struggles and successes.  When he finishes school in two years or when he gets married I don't know or maybe if I see him moving from FATHER's path, then I will give it to him and hope one day as he reads he will see my love and desire for him. After I am dead and gone it will be priceless to him as a guide and reminder of faith and service.

Is this not the same thing we have from our FATHER called the WORD of GOD. When was the last time you read of HIS love and desire for you.
