Have you ever noticed how it's usually the simplest of things that are bring satisfaction, contentment and joy? I know that some people feel the need to go out and buy things, do things or have things, thinking that these will satisfy. But in reality they never do. I know the Lord alone is the one who fills me, but He often uses others to help. One of the things that brings me satisfaction, contentment and joy are my kids. All three of them are incredible and I'm so thankful for them. But today I want to tell you a little about my youngest daughter, Hannah, who yesterday turned 13. She's constantly making me laugh and smile. She has such joy that overflows into those around her. She can also make you laugh (even when you may not feel like it) :) So what is it about Hannah that's different? Nothing really, other than she loves to let Jesus shine through her. She's very sensitive to the needs around her and is always trying to help others. What amazing is that this should describe every Christian. We should all allow Jesus to shine through us and be sensitive to the needs of those around us. Isn't that the very example that Jesus Himself showed us? He was often "moved with compassion" as He saw the many needs around Him. Let the light of Jesus shine through you today and let your joy be contagious. Let others around you experience your love, care and concern. And thank you Hannah for being such a special daughter :) You're so kind, funny, thoughtful and loving. Dad loves you so much :)
