Day 24 - No Greater Love

Romans 5 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

It is a great time to reflect on the tremendous love that God has for us. In the midst of all of our sin he sent his son to die for us that we may have eternal life. He does not desire for us to spend eternity seperated from Him. He desires every one of us to eternally live in communion with Him. God gives us all a choice to either accept this free gift or to deny the gift and be to our own desires. You can make up excuses if you like. I have done it my own mind at times. How can an all loving God send someone to hell? In reality he begs us all not to choose that road. The sad reality is that many will ignore his calls in their heart and will choose that wide path (Matthew 7:13). If you do not know this love we are speaking of please contact us lovinglevilikecrazy@yahoo.com . It is a free gift of grace that only He can provide. There are no amount of good deeds that can get us restored back into a right relationship with God. I thank Him so much for giving us a choice! There is no greater love on Valentines Day.

I am so blessed my life is full of earthly love also. I was blessed with great friends and family. I was blessed with a wife who is nothing short of a saint. Now I have been blessed with a son. Levi is helping me learn what unconditional love really is. I can give God enough praise for the wonderful blessings he piles on me.

Levi had a decent day. He had alot taken out of him yesterday and is trying to recoupe. If he can't get there on his own then he may need the help of steroids. If so it will be later in the week before he is ready to try it off of the vent again. Like anything there are risks with the medication. He really needs to get off of the vent though as it damages his lungs and causes them to not recover as quickly. He did not start eating milk today because his urine output wasn't great. Hopefully that will begin tomorrow.

For my prayer warriors

Levi - To get off of the vent! No infections. Tolerate feedings. Gain weight

Anjie - Peace & rest

Trent - Focus for work this week
