LETTER 12
Dear Danyelle Elizabeth, Danyel Ezekiel, Daniqua Grace, Danae, Danita, Daniel IV, Daniella (Danni), Danielle Tekeela, Duran, and Kywaizia:
I truly trust that each of you is doing well in the Lord and is being obedient to the Lord in making sure you are serving Him by at least passing out Gospel tracts and/or witnessing to others online. I am praying for you without ceasing. In fact, I am praying for you right now. I hope that you will pray without ceasing and include me in your prayers, as well.
My special Thanksgiving to God today, regarding my children, is of course the one day out of the year you helped your Papa, in his gluttonous days get free multiple first-class meals from various restaurants on Veteran’s Day. To name a few: the Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Chili’s, the Cotton Patch, and other places on this fine day, Veteran’s Day, November 11th. Danni, of course, led the way and did not mind helping me to enjoy this special day. Well, since that time, going on three years now, God has forced me to repent of my gluttonous ways as I have not eaten any food from a restaurant in over three years since the Coronavirus Plague started–not even from some of my favorite restaurants such as Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, and Chili’s. I thank God for blessing me to be a veteran, and I thank God for the benefits of being a veteran. I thank God for your willingness to help me thoroughly enjoy this day in the past, and I thank God He touched your hearts to help me to enjoy it without envy.
My devotional “Text” for today is Ephesians 6:18: ” Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.“
Danyelle Elizabeth, Danyel Ezekiel, Daniqua Grace, Danae Mary-Louise, Danita Evangeline, Daniel IV, Daniella (Danni), Danielle Tekeela, Duran, and Kywaizia, I love you all, and I am praying for you all. Please pray for me.
Love God and Jesus Christ first.
Love Papa second
Love,
Papa
P.S.: Remember, children, all of you are grown adults in the eyes of the law in America and nobody is over you now, including your siblings, but God Himself and Jesus Christ Himself, and so you do not have to answer to anybody but God and Jesus Christ going forward based upon what the Word of God says. So do not let an older sibling or an older family member on either side of the family or a church member or a pastor or a pastor’s wife or a so-called friend on the job or in the neighborhood dominate you or control you, and that includes not letting anybody pick up your phone or use your phone otherwise to send texts that did not come from you and your heart. That means that if any of you children want to text me or call me or receive my phone call or text, you should be free to do that under the laws of the United States of America. That also means you do not have to receive a text or phone call from anybody you do not want to talk to or communicate with, be they family members, church members, or so-called friends. By the way, God will give you friends throughout your life. Your friends do not have to be the same as your older siblings’ friends. Remember what I have taught you down through the years from the Word of God. If you obey that, you will be blessed and successful.
Again, I love you all and thank you so much for the precious memories that God floods my heart, mind, soul, and spirit with constantly throughout the day.
Love,
Papa
