As if by magic, the digital picture frame on my work desk started working again after several years.
It’s loaded with thousands of photos over the last 25 years, many of them photos of my children as they were growing up.
I watch with awe. Did all that really happen? Did I do all that? I thank God for the energy and drive that allowed me to be a father and family man for all those years.

Nothing can quench your spiritual thirst like a deep relationship with God
By Austin Bishop
1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; 2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
