Praise Journal: Heavenly Father, thank You for this day, and for Your blessings. You have blessed us with family and friends. Our family is so special to us. They are illustrations of Your care and concern for us. May we, also, like the centurion, treat Christ as he should be treated. We become so familiar with You in our minds sometimes that we forget just how holy You are. Even though You live within us, let us not feel any more worthy than did this centurion. It is only by the blood of Christ that we are what we are. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
