This guy for starters…

He’s handsome and kind… generous to a fault… and he loves me endlessly! 

Aside from my husband, the list of men who have positively impacted my life come strictly from the bible… not sorry!

I think back on the trail that had to be blazed through history by these biblical frontiersman… it was not an easy one, to say the least.

Noah had to build a boat that was the size of a small city… without modern machinery!

David had to kill a giant with a slingshot!

Moses had to lead an entire nation of peoples around the desert for 40 years, while they all learned to trust and obey God.

Jonah got eaten by a whale that then puked him up on the shores of Nineveh!

John the Baptist… well, he spoke the truth til it got him killed!

I could go on and on about the different men in the bible whose stories, failures, struggles and triumphs have impacted my walk as a woman of God… but I will end the list here with the name of only one man that matters… JESUS! Trump that!

I think maybe, for the first time, the daily prompt put the exact perfect question in here at the most perfect time… right before we celebrate Jesus Birthday! This is the time of year that I can say what I think about my God, my Savior, and King… with little or no argument from others. It is a difficult task to buy and receive a bunch of gifts, in His name, on His Birthday, if you don’t plan on acknowledging Him!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukah, the Manger, the Star, the Three Wise Men, etc. I could go on and on with all that we acknowledge during our celebrations, but I think you get my drift. Even those who profess to not believe in God celebrate with everyone, ignoring the Jesus part while they do it! Just saying…

Don’t be grumpy at that… you’ll get your cookie at the end, but I’m not done yet!

I stand by my answers about who positively impacted my life, as, to date there has not been even one single human man that has NOT let me down… even my husband, and he is a good man who loves God very much.

You see, placing faith in man is out of line with me… I place my faith in God and allow Him to put good men and women in my life. While I appreciate what differing men and woman have done throughout history, I just do not put my trust in them… they are fallible, just like myself.

If we are really talking about a positive impact, I think it is pretty clear to me that by His living and dying and then living again … well, that’s pretty impacting and noteworthy, wouldn’t you say…

See, I promised you a cookie…
