This is an awesome prayer. Believe it and you shall
Be blessed.
This problem with many of us is that we don't believe that God will open a window and pour out blessings that we won't have enough room to receive them. I dare anyone to try God. He is true to His Word. God cannot lie and His promises are sure. Three things will happen to you this coming week:
(1) You will find favor with someone you don't expect;
(2) You will be too relevant to be ignored;
(3) You will encounter God and you will never remain the same.
My prayer for you today:
The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hands that will send this message to others shall not labor in vain, the mouth saying Amen to this prayer shall laugh forever. Remain in God's love as you send this prayer to everybody on your list. Have a lovely journey of life! Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He will never fail you because He is AWESOME!
If you truly need a blessing,
Heavenly Father, most Gracious, and Loving God, I pray to you that you abundantly bless my family and me. I know that you recognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in you. Father, I send up a prayer request for blessings for not only the person who sent this to me, but for me and all that I have forwarded this message on to. And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything. I thank you in advance for your blessings.
Father God, deliver the person reading this right now from debt and debt's burdens. Release Your Godly wisdom that I may be a good steward over all that You have given me Father, for I know how wonderful and mighty You are and how if we just obey You and walk in Your Word and have the faith of a mustard seed that You will pour out blessings. I thank You now Lord for the recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come because I know You are not done with me yet.
In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
Take 60 seconds and send this on quickly and within hours, you will have caused a multitude of people to pray to God for each other.
Then sit back and watch.
Well dad this something that you would say to me.I miss so much dad I wishyou were here with us.But I known you are here all the time dad Ilove you and miss you dad

Our Family Chain
We little knew that morning
That god would call your name.
In life we loved you dealy;
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you.
The day god called ypou home.
You left us beautiful memories,
your love is still our guide,
And though we can not see side you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same,
But as god calls us one by one,
The chain will link agin.
(Auther Unknown)
Dad I know you are looking down at us smile at us and looking over us. I love you an I will have you in my heart all the time dad. Iloveyou an miss you dad.
Love you,
Christine

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

May God's Great Love embrace you and your family. You set a Great example in my Life and gave me a fine example of what it means to Love unconditionally.. Surely you will be missed...God Bless

R.I.P. Grandpa. I feel so bad I didn't get to see you lately. You were a great person and always there for me. Even though when you got older you started to change I will always remember the good times. You got me started on art and painting, which I love! I miss your cornbread! But, most of all, I MISS YOU!
Love You Always,
-Sarah
