The Upper Room Daily Devotional 19 June 2022 MESSAGE
My entire adult life has been dedicated to my wife, our four children, and now our grandchildren. I took my family camping, coached Little League, and drove a station wagon. I showed my love for my children in the best way I knew how — by spending time with them. My kids now live all over the country and have careers and their own families, and I miss them greatly.

One day I ended up in the ER, and I needed triple bypass open-heart surgery two days later. I went under anesthesia knowing that my wife and friends were praying in the waiting room. Neither my wife nor I knew that all four of our children had dropped everything to travel hundreds of miles to be there.
When I woke up in the recovery room, I was surrounded by more love than I ever hoped to receive. My children demonstrated their love for me just by being present. I felt overwhelmingly appreciated, and that bleak October day turned into the best day of my life!
