People Who Make An Impact On Our Lives

Yesterday, my baby and I went for a road trip together. As she slept in her car seat, I drove while listening to a christian program on the radio on modesty. The speaker was talking on the topic of dress. As a young woman she thought that she dressed quite modestly. One day an older gentleman came up to her and informed her that her attire wasn't as modest as she had thought it was. This man made quite an impact on this womans life and she has changed the way she looked at herself in the mirror due to his comment.

I wasn't so much touched about the topic of modesty, as I was on the influences that others can have on our lives. I got to thinking about my life. I started to wonder where I would be and what I would be like if I hadn't married my husband. I was clearly not headed on the right path before Mike and I got married. I look back at where I was then, compared to where I am now and I thank the Lord that he brought Mike and I together. I don't believe I would have gone down the same path that I am on now. It scared me to think where I would be. I would have more than likely follow the ways of the world and justified myself in it. That path would have lead me straight to the steps of Hell.

Now don't get me wrong, my life with my husband has not been a walk through the daisy fields by any means. We have had our share of trials and testings, but through it all we have held on to Jesus and have let Him guide and direct us on the path that He wants us on.

I got rather emotional as I realized the many blessings that have come into my life since my husband and I have been married. And how thankful I am that Mike chose me. I know that I don't tell or show my husband how much I love him enough. And I fall short in many ways from being the wife he deserves, but I am thankful the Lord is there to help me and to remind me of the blessing that my husband is to me!

Thank you Michael for loving me and leading me on this path of life that the Lord has set before us. I love you!

Thank you God for using a simple radio program to get me to look at my life and realize how much you have spared me from. I thank you for bringing Mike and I together as husband and wife and for the five beautiful children that you have blessed us with. And for the three blessings you hold in your hand that we will one day meet in Heaven! Thank you God for loving me, a sinner, and sending your son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for my sins.

Thank you Jesus for the pain and suffering you went through on my behalf. Thank you for setting the example for others to follow. Thank you for being the gate to the path less trodden. Few there be that find it! Please help my life to be an example to others to point the way to you.
