You are a present from God!

August 7, 2018 //  by April Graney//  Leave a Comment

*These posts are written to be read as a devotional to your child.

Isn’t it wonderful when someone gives you a present? Whether it’s a birthday present or a Christmas present, or just an every day “because you are special” present, it’s always really fun to get a present isn’t it? What is the BEST present you ever received?

Well, did you know that YOU are a present from God? It’s true!

God loved your parents SO much that he decided to give them a very special gift, one that would make them happy, and help them grow into better people because of their love for you! When you were born, you were a very special gift, complete with tiny toes and fingers, and wrapped up in cuddles and giggles, sweet yawns, and first time smiles.

You are a very special gift and you’re parents love you VERY much! Don’t ever forget that!

Psalm 127:3-5 “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them.”

When Tom and I moved to Dallas for him to attend S When Tom and I moved to Dallas for him to attend Seminary, that first semester I audited "Soteriology" with Dr. Pyne and loved it so much, I decided to attend seminary as well. Tom and I graduated together in 1999 with our Master's in Biblical Studies degress. We enjoyed those years of study so much! Then we started our family, and I sometimes would wonder how I would use my degree some day (besides personally and with my family, which I don't discount at all!). Fast forward to 2013 when I wrote The Marvelous Mud House, and then 2018 when I wrote The Marvelous Maker. I don't know if my "credentials" with DTS gave me an edge in getting published, but I'm sure it didn't hurt! :) Today, I enjoy studying the Word even more on a daily basis as I seek to allow God to use my gifts and callings for the building of his kingdom. This came out in DTS magazine recently! How exciting and fun and such an honor and priviledge to have my photo right near one of my and Tom's absolute favorite professors at Dallas Seminary, Dr. Ronald Allen! #onehappyhouse #themarvelousmaker #bhpub #themarvelousmudhouse

I'm so excited to share with you all my Bible read I'm so excited to share with you all my Bible reading plan!! I first decided to read through the entire Bible in 100 Days towards the end of 2020. It seemed like a good way to spend the most ridiculously crazy year of my lifetime. I knew that God was up to something in this world, if anything, reminding us all of our own mortality, and I wanted to dig into his Word and know him more intimately as I pondered meeting him face to face. I heard a statistic on the radio that said Christians are reading their Bibles less than they were before the pandemic started! While this seemed incredibly sad to me, it also convicted me as I questioned how much of my own time was spent in the Word of God this past year. I enjoyed reading thru the Bible so much these past 100 days that I created this plan for anyone wanting to try it in 2021! It can be customized for 200 or 300 days as well. Check it out here! It's free!http://onehappyhouse.org/the-jesus-our-redeemer-bible-in-100-days-plan/

I have loved and enjoyed running along this boulevard long before the kids could walk it with me. It's so nice and fun that we can run it or walk it together! #onehappyhouse #beach #sunset #apollobeach #themarvelousmaker
