PAID IN FULL

Growing up in Mount Dora, found Mama doing her grocery shopping at Mosteller's Grocery Store,in downtown Mount Dora.It was an old fashioned butcher shop, where everybody knew all your family members and everything about you! It was also the same store where I stole my handful of "Double Bubble Bubble Gum," that one time!
Mama had an account with them, for some things, and she would pay it off as soon as she could, so that she would have a short list on any debt that she might owe....
Mr. Mosteller kept an account of what she owed,I'm sure!
In the same way,God keeps an account of our sins too, but when He provided His only Son as our atoniing and sacrificial payment,He shortened that account list for you and me........ In fact, He paid it off in full!
He doesn't keep a list anymore.
Jesus Christ took our sins on Himself and paid for them all on the cross.
God could now look at the books and clearly see, that our account was indeed marked
PAID IN FULL!

DAVID'S SONG

There is something that calls to me, when I need help.
I will look upward towards the mountains, as I seem to know that my help comes from somewhere "up there". That sense within me, knows my Creator God made all of this Heaven and earth, and that's where my help comes from..... I just know it!
He will take hold of me, and allow me to neither slip,nor fall, and He is on duty all the time, for He never,ever slumbers. He keeps me under His protective shade and neither the sun will burn me,nor the cold will freeze me, but He will stand guard over me and protect my going out and my coming in forever and ever....
Oh what a faithful God we serve!

LIFESAVER!

Forgive me,if I've already sent this.....

Whenever I write my brother Michael,I will send him an email to "Miguel", which is spanish for Michael, and I will sign it "Lifesaver." This was because, as a little girl,he gave me three wonderful Christmas gifts over a period of three years,that I have never forgotten, and one was a small box containing lifesavers! He gave me a lavendar,mohair sweater from Germany; some Heaven Scent cologne, and one of those loittle boxes that contained lots of different flavors of lifesavers.....
and I've been "Lifesaver" ever since! He knew I had a sweet tooth, way back then!
I think about those lifesavers, and how much he means to me....even today! I am most fortunate to have had three brothers and a sister who were very dear lifesavers to me.
We,as believers are blessed to have an eternal lifesaver.... One who has already rescued and saved us....
They don't have lifesavers in hell.

I HAVE LEARNED

I have learned,in my brief lifetime(and in the light of eternity,that's what it is!)
that when you live your life totally okay with what God does and says,You are much better off!I think it was a process that God began teaching me when David Jr.died!
I learned loud and clear, that everything I went through, had to go though God first, before it ever came to me!I understood, that if it was okay with God, then it was okay with me too.I don't know how,or when I developed this attitude, but I know I just did, and I was fine with it! I think, somehow,God placed that contentment within me.....
I remembered that God's word says that "there is no temptation but is common to man,but will with the temptation offer a way of escape." This could also mean difficulties as in many cases today...... He also told me, "that He would not allow me to suffer above that I was able".
Well, when I put those promises together,with the One who who loved my son and the One who loved me.....
Who was I not to believe Him?
Relaxing and trusting in Him, is like putting a blanket over me during a cold storm!
It keeps me safe;......warm,......and,secure.
I'd rather be with Him, than anywhere in the world, with all that's going on today.
I understand Paul when he said,"To live is Christ".
I love living, but I'm gonna love dying!
Becky

ONE WAY

If you see a sign that says "one way", you would go down that road, the correct way, to get to your destination.....
Wouldn't you?

Seems to me,if you want to go to "Heaven", and the only way to get there is down this one way, you'd be smart to go that direction......
Wouldn't you?

If Jesus says he is the "one way" to go to "Heaven",then,I'd say, the choice is pretty simple......
Wouldn't you?
Becky

I CAN'T HELP IT!

I sometimes wonder why God chose me, to give an extra measure of strength to, when it came to dealing with the death of a child? He has given me the ability to see beyond my pain.....even when I don't fully understand it myself, or feel like doing it! I can't imagine why in the worlf He chose me,so very long ago,but He equipted me long before I had any idea that I would even be needed.
Today,I stopped in at the church, for a brief "bathroom break", but ended spending about 20 minutes in prayer time inside the sanctuary.I was so thankful that God has given me another church home, that I can stop in,"for such a time as this."
It's when God gives me times like these that I understand what a God of order He is. He doesn't like confusion, and He knew that I needed that pause with Him, in order to be refreshed! He has taken care of me, and mine, from since before the foundation of the world.
He must have had a reason for choosing me,so I guess I'll keep on keepin' on for Him.....He knows I love doin' it for Him!
He saw something when He created me, that He knew would never leave me. I think they call it faith!
Becky

CONTENTMENT!

Since my brain hemorrage,I tend to rely on things that are familiar to me.I keep things in the same place;I line things up;I really like them in order.
It really helps me.Sometimes,however,this can be a bad thing,or atleast not to our best advantage. For instance,if we take apart the 23rd Psalm....and disect it.There's so much more to it, than just words! how many times have we read the 23rd Psalm? Most of us know it by heart, but do we truly understand it? Do we really understand what David is telling us? When I looked at it today, after going through Vertigo,I truly inderstood that this Shepherd of mine was the comforter of the weak, and would restore my soul.He and only He, can teach me to be still and hear His voice.When I am in dangerous territory,He will use whatever it takes, as in His staff,to rescue me! I don't need to fear anything,folks.....
Not the election;not the way the world is going right now;not cancer;not anything!
Because my God has got it covered!
From the first verse,where David says that,"The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,"
to the very last verse, where he says....."and I will dwell in the house of the Lord, forever.".....I'm His, and He's got me covered!
I don't know about you, but I think that's what contentment is all about!

A NEW HYMN

Sometime, back in the mid sixties,the junior choir sang in church one Sunday, and we sang a brand new song.(I remember thinking that I had never seen a song pasted onto the inside cover before, either). The song was typed and pasted onto the inside of the hymnal cover, and I can still remember feeling absolutely humbled and in awe as heard those words for the first time.........
"Oh Lord my God,when I in awesome wonder.......Yes,I can still rememebr what it felt like, the very first time,I ever saw "How Great Thou Art" typed into the inside cover of our Methodist hymnal! That song was something else to a young 13,or 14 year old, back then!
I remember folks saying, that it was new, so it wouldn't last. They said it probably wouldn't even be around in another 10 years! I'd say they got that one wrong! I think it had something to do with the subject matter!
Whatcha think?
Becky

MAR-MARTHA-MARY-BECKY

There I was,5,or so years old, with Grandmother Bouterse, staying in her trailer, taking in all kinds of scripture;Bible stories, and just loving Jesus in everything I did! So much so, that I hinestly never knew that there could be a life without Jesus,as a little girl.....
Sure,I did things I wasn't suppose to, and I got in trouble for it too!
I also knew that if I ever got in serious trouble, that I could always call on God too.......and I did!
When I was young,I was in my "Mary" time of life!
Probably when I went off to college and then into my married life, did I go into my "Martha" time of life.
This was a time when God allowed me to go away,on my own,and become "Martha" for quite awhile.I did the casserole thing;projects;meetings;all the deadlines,that seemed so important back then, and alot of "things" suffered.
I was doing so much with for everybody, when one day,God had to hit me over the head with a two by four. It was when He called our son,David home. Then I stopped, dead in my tracks!
The next year, I suffered a cerebral brain hemorrage, and lay in a coma for almost 2 months.(That was a slow down time, believe me!)I was still Martha though!
Mary arrives again!
In 2003,we moved to Beaufort, and it was while I was here, that I drove back to Aiken, one weekend, and sat through "The Passion Of The Christ", by myself.....
My heart couldn't stand it,seeing what my Lord went through, as I saw Him portrayed, on that cross. I felt as if my God were tapping me on the shoulder and saying:"Becky,it's time to come home.....and be a Mary.......for good!"
Mary!Martha!Mary!Becky!
I like those names.......
Becky

HOME NOT FOR SALE!

When you put your house on the market,you fix it up,to show off its best features....
Well, then....
Seems to me,that when we put our spiritual house on display.....
The one where the Holy Spirit dwells, we'd want to fix it up, so as to show how his house looks now too, wouldn't we?
Becky

A TEA BAG & A CROSS

I have started making tea in the microwave....
I will get my big 4qt.measuring glass and fill it with 2qts. full of water, and using 2 large tea bags, along with some fresh mint,I will run it in the microwave for about 5 minutes.(Longer for stronger tea!) This is such a timesaver, but the only thing is,that the tea is so strong,I will have to dilute it quite a bit before I serve it!
This does make it easier to swallow,though,and it's so refreshing!
In like manner,God's word is also refreshing and will revive us according to His ways. It is strong;pure, and Holy. It does not need to be diluted to be tasted and swallowed. It is refreshing all the time, and is our shield and protector!
Nothing can ever change His word!
Who needs a tea bag, when you've gotta cross?
Becky

ROUND PEG IN A SQUARE HOLE

On of my favorite things to do, as a child, was to play with those blocks of wood with the different shapes cut out of them.(Triangle;square;circle;plus sign) The ones where you had to place the different shapes into the correct place.I could do all of them, but for the life of me,I would always try to place the square peg into the round hole. Now, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this doesn't work, but I would do it over and over!
(I don't do it anymore folks!)
There's alot of folks like that today, with God's word too. They try to fit anything and everything, into the place where only God will fit! The trouble is,they keep doing it over and over,with different things, hoping it will make them happy. When they finally figure out, that only God fits into that spot,and will fill that area in their lives, will they realize that the empty hole is now filled with eternal contentment!
A square peg in a round hole won't work!
A living Savior in a dead life will!
Becky

O GLORIOUS DAY!

This is a hard one for me to write folks!

I called to check on my sweet May today, and found that she wasn't doing too good.
Seems she is fighting off another infection. Infact, she's had one after another for several months now,and at the age of 92, that's not too good! She's tired all the time, and is pretty much ready to go Home to Jesus. I've known that about May, ever since I met her in 1975, except that now,I'm beginning to wonder if maybe.....
Sometimes,God prepares our hearts for things like "letting go" with a preamble.
When our son George was removed from the home,for a period of 2 years,I thought I was going through my very own private hell on earth,but when David junior died,I saw how he gave me a taste of what it would be like, to be without him for an eternity!
What a God to show me that!
I think maybe God is giving us a "preamble" time right now with May.....
A time in preparation for the day, when we will be without our sweet May. He's doing it in a progressive, slowing down manner,so that we will become familiar with it.A way that will allow us to be ready to say "so long, and see you later"!
Either way,it will be a sad day for this 'ole girl, when May leaves Aiken, but a glorious day in Heaven above!
Then again,I shouldn't be too far behind,either!
Becky

NOT LOST.........BUT FOUND

Shirley and I went to lunch today, and we had so much fun! When I first moved to Beaufort,Raiford and Shirley were two of the first people that I met, and that was out at "What's in Store" in Frogmore!
Over one of Nick's mixed green salad's, she told me how people were always coming up to her and telling her how sorry they were that she had lost Raiford.With Shirley's big,twinkling grin,she would answer them, and say,"Oh, but he's not lost. I know right where he is!" She would then proceed to tell them that when it was time, she would be joining join him........Now,that is blessed assurance,folks!
That's not being lost.....That's about as "found" as you can be!
Becky

ANGEL & PHELLPS

Whenever I would go over to Daytona Beach, as a little girl,my family would always stop at the Angel & Phellps Chocolate Company. This began,for me,with my grandmother,way back when, and to this day,I can walk into that choclate store, and smell the aroma of those chocolate covered Filberts;orange slices and creams,that Grandmother so dearly loved!
My,my,my,the memories those fragrances emit in me, are like I just walked back into Angel & Phellps today!
Walking into the presence of Christ,is like this too! A wonderful aroma is given off, when we taste of His Holy Word, and feed on His precepts in our life. They give off an aroma that radiates around us, and it can't help but be given off to others nearby.
I loved the samples at Angel & Phellps, and I love the sampling of the Holy Spirit, but I can't wait for the day when I can walk into the Real Thing and feel the aroma of Christ Himself!
Becky

I'M WILLING........

My best friend,Tara,ran for Student Council President,in high school, and being the dear friend,that she was, she asked me to be her campaign manager. Well, I don't remember doing a thing for her, except coming up with her campaign slogan....
"Tara is willing and wants to serve you!" I've thought about that motto for years and how so many times our Lord must say the same thing.....to us!
God is willing and wants to serve you!
Will we let Him?
Becky

REAL THRILL

When I got an upset stomach as a little girl, and was at my grandmothers trailer,her number one remedy was either "Vernor's Ginger Ale",or Horehound candy. Being the good Dutch lady that she was,I assumed that they were good Dutch remedies!
I'm not sure that they were Dutch, but even today,I still swear by using Vernor's Ginger Ale for colds and upset stomaches. Vernor's was the only kind to use, because it had a sparkling fizz to it! I think it was the ginger in it!
There's something about those old home remedies that do the trick,ya know?
I would munch on a soda cracker and Vernor's Ginger Ale, over crushed ice.(We wrapped the cubes up in a wash cloth and hammered away on it, with an ice mallet to crush it, back then!) This was a sure-fired remedy, that never failed.....and still works to this day!
Jesus had one of these remedies too...
It was a remedy for sin!......Sin,that kept us from being with Him in Heaven.
And we don't have to purchase the remedy either!
He's already purchased it for us, with His own life!
It doesn't tickle your nose, but it can put a real thrill in your heart!
Becky

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

Oh boy, did I get transported back in my mind tonight......To a time when I would go with Grandmother and Grandaddy Bouterse to the Community Center at Riley's Trailer Park on Wednesday nights!
Matt had us singing all the old hymns tonight and they were all the old ones I remembered singing as a child, with Grandmother.I grew up a Methodist, but she was Baptist, so all my songs were from the Baptist hymnal.....
I think I had all the verses of "Onward Christian Soldier,and The Old Rugged Cross" memorized!
The one that really grabbed me, though,that I had totally forgotten about, was called:" Something Beautiful." I can almost see Grandmother nodding her head, and saying,"He understood,all I had was broken,Becky,but He made something beautiful of my life!"
And He surely did! (I can still cry over this one,folks!)
Becky

THAT IS ME

There are some of us that God chose, to give forth beautiful voices.....
And others He gave the ability to listen with a sense of love and awareness that's stirred from within our inner selves.
That is me!

There are some of us God chose to give outward beauty......
And to others,He gave an inward fullness of His beauty,that radiates on the outside.
That is me!

There are some of us God chose to give the ability to understand finances....
And to others,He gave companions who guide; stabilize and remind of our priorities.
That is me!

There are some of us God chose who question everything He is about.....
And then there are others who trust Him in everything,no matter what He does.
That is me!
Becky

BUSTER BROWNS

Growing up,I had the hardest feet to fit for shoes.I wore quads for the longest time.Momma would take me over to Colonial Plaza,in Orlando,or to Winter Park, and buy me either Poll Parrot shoes,or Buster Browns. Remember those? I would look forever in the heel, trying to find his dog "Tye", hoping he would be inside my shoe again!
Goodness gracious. How important it was to see those things!What was on the inside, always told me,that I had Buster Brown's on the outside.
Scripture tells us too: "as a man thinketh,in his heart, so is he."
Makes me wonder sometimes if people look at me, and wonder what's on the inside of my heart.
Hopefully it's not a dog called Tye!
Becky

ROLLING & ROLLING

I always loved going on our family vacations, as a child. We usually went to Daytona Beach, where we shared the Crane House with the Eichelbergers! I hated the fact that the vacation had to come to an end, because I loved shelling and walking on the beach.I loved swimming in the water too!There was always the trip to the Angell & Phelps Chocolate Company and eating at B&B Restaurant.(The best shrimp from Mr.Flippo)
Daytona had lots of sand dunes and sea oats,back when I was growing up, and believe it or not,It looked alot like old Edisto does today.
Good things always come to an end,though.....
Except for the believer.......
Then,the good times just keep on rolling and rolling!
Right on into Eternity!
Becky

GETTING WELL

This was the neatest journey today,although I wasn't looking forward to it! Most of you know I have been suffering from Vertigo for almost a week now, and I finally broke down and went to the doctor.....
While I was waiting,I struck up a conversation with two ladies and a young genteman.During the conversation,the young man told us an amazing thing! He said he was one of ten brothers and ten sisters, who all had the same mother and father! Now, if that wasn't enough,on its own to boggle my mind,........... he then proceeded to tell us that they all knew the Lord!!!
How 'bout them apples folks?
If I wasn't well after hearing that piece of information,I never would be!
When our God wants somebody to know Him,He doesn't fool around,does He?
Becky

SO MUCH FOR US

When I'm traveling into town,there are all kinds of neat things that will catch my attention. ....Cool billboards with nifty slogans.... Squirrels darting everywhere..... Unusual displays....Some catchy ads....
There's also things placed out there for my safety too. Naturally, there's the speed limit signs, which no-one seems to be aware of anymore; then there might be the signs that warn of a bridge out,or an alternate route that needs to be taken;road construction.....
There are all kinds of signs that will warn me of impending disaster, and hazards around our beautiful areas.
God gives us the same thing in our lives too. He gives us a wonderful life to enjoy, but asks us to allow our speech to "be as salt;seasoned with grace: and for us to be pleasant and kind with one another. We have rules and guidelines to protect us in this beautiful world we live in.
It's a shame when we don't follow them, because He has done so much for us!
That's the least we can do for Him!
Becky

THE KING'S BRASS

Oh did it ever do my heart good to hear Tim Zimmerman and The King's Brass tonight! .....Wow!
When he started in on a Glenn Miller rendition,I just lost it! I was transported back to the late fifties, when I would dress up in one of Mother's satin nightgowns, and sing away, standing on one of the ottoman's.(Mind you I had never heard of Vertigo then!) I would dance and sing away to Glenn Miller as long as no-one was around....... I loved everything he did.
When The King's Brass started in tonight,I couldn't hold back folks!
"In everything give thanks", and they surely did! With trombones;trumpets;percussion;keyboard;tuba;drums,and a few other pieces this 'ole brain won't recall.....
It was indeed a tribute for a King,........ and what a tribute indeed!
The highest ranking for our "military" is known as the "top brass",so I guess this group was aptly named. The highest ranking for our "Soldiers of Christ",is "King Jesus", so it's only right that we should have "The King's Brass"!
Becky

UNLEASH THE PRAYER

When I go over to Edisto,during the off months,I will see countless folks, walking their dogs,along the beach. It became so crowded with animals, during that time, that you didn't have room to move anywhere, because there was a no leash law.Now a town ordinance has been passed thast requires owners to keep their dogs on a leash,or suffer the consequences! When you unleash your animal,alot can happen......
In the same manner,when we as Christians find ourselves in need of help, we will often call out to somebody for help. We will often ask them to pray for us, and when we do this, we are unleashing the power of prayer, and there is nothing more powerful than the word of God, to lift you up and out of your circumstances. Before you go to someone else, though, go to THE main one who hears and understands it all,first.....Jesus Christ! He is ready and willing to help, and will guide you with the Holy Spirit, as to what to do.Now, that's really unleashing the prayer!
Becky

HELLO,HELLO

I had the coolest thought,last night, as I was going to sleep.
Hope it makes sense.....

The Beatles had a song out,back in 1967, that had a catchy phrase in it that really strikes me as being correct today!
It was from the song:"Hello,Goodbye", and part of the lyrics went like this:
"I don't know why you say goodbye;I say hello."
They didn't know it at the time, but they hit the nail on the head with those words!
Because the believer in God's word, never has to say"goodbye".....
We say "Hello" to our Lord and Savior,Christ Jesus, in our next breath!
Woo Hoo!
Becky

TRIVIAL PURSUIT

I'm not a big games player, but I do enjoy some games, when Kay and her Mother come to Edisto. One that I still am not very good at,is Trivial Pursuit.I never get the good categories!
It's so nice to know that God allows us these trivial times in our lives, and yet He will draw us back to the importance of His word.
God's pursuit of us,however, is anything,BUT trivial........
He is quite genuine and will make every attempt to draw us back to Him!
I may not be good at Trivial Pursuit,but I surely can be on God's winning team, and so can you!
Becky

SEARCH & RESCUE

When I was a little girl,Daddy constructed a concrete swimming area in our back yard.It was in the shape of a kidney bean, and was maybe 3' deep in the deep end.....(That's talkin' deep,folks!)
Later on, this area was turned into a goldfish pond, where I raised goldfish to sell to the local dimestores.(Remember dimestores?) One morning, as I was attempting to clean the shallow"er" end of its gunk,with glass milk bottles(yep,you read that right!), I slipped on the algae in the pond, and when I did,I dropped one of the milk bottles, and fell on it.My left foot split open on the toe bone, and..... "ohhhhh ....pain"! I remember screaming for help, and my Daddy running out to help me.He lifted me into his arms and took me into the house, where I was bandaged up.
Back in my those days, we didn't get stitches for those kinds of things, and to this day, I am paying the price for what I did! I will still jump, when that toe bone is hit in the wrong way, as a result of that cut!
I'm reminded, though, that when we call out to our Heavenly Father,He drops everything and runs to rescue us with His Eternally sound word. We may have some scars from the foolish things we do, but He is quick to take us back, and lead us onward, and I kinda like that.
I'm also glad that milk comes in cartons now,too!
Becky

MEMORIES

I'm remembering some pleasant things,Lord......
Thank You for allowing me to remember them:
The Dixie Drive Inn;Howdy Doody;Sky King;Ruff 'N' Ready:Brenda Starr;Jimmy Hatlo;Beetle Bailey;The Millionaire with Michael J Anthony;Topper; Homes that were never locked; 2 traffic lights in Mount Dora; Winky Dink;Poll Parrot Shoes;Ronnies Delicatessan in Winter Park; Crusader Rabbit;Necco's; The Princess Theatre; Mrs.Mickey'sFlashlight;marbles;steelies;jax;cloakrooms; dreamcycles;Mr. Wizard; Heckle & Jeckle;Flicka;Fury;Playhouse 90;Truth Or Consequences......
Just a taste of memories and it's ashame that they will eventually diminish,and even disappear from our memorie, as we get older.
Isn't it wonderful,that our Lord never will?
Becky

CAN YOU IMAGINE?

There was Saul,riding along, on his way to Damascus,minding his own businesss, which was to persecute the Jews......
And then he hears his name being called from above.
What would you have done?
I don't know about you, but I'm thinkin'...."I'm outa here!"
(Ofcourse God would pursue as He always does!)
Nope!.....Saul meets Paul.....through God! He is confronted by the Living God and has no other choice! God saw what He could mold Saul into, and how He could use him for the Kingdom......
And Paul was born!
God knew Paul's heart and spirit would be captive for Christ. In this same manner, He does this with us too!He takes our old selves and and makes new creations of us.....
And we don't have to be on the road to Damascus,either!
Becky

OODLES OF TREES

Growing up, as a young girl,I lived in an area of orange groves and beautiful climbing trees. I was pretty much a tomboy, growing up, and one of my favorite trees to climb, was a Golden Rain Tree. The tree,however, that I loved the most, was a Mimosa Tree.This was because it reminded me of a powder puff! As I got older,I realized just what a pain they were.....
The seeds from these trees would blow everywhere, and you would find the seedlings popping up in the middle of places that you didn't want them! You really had to watch out for them, because they infest everything!.
They will grow in just about anykind of soil too!
It's the same thing with those areas in our life, that we think are "okay" and won't hurt us, but are actually are bad for us. They become part of our character, and before we know it, these traits have taken root, and infested the good in us, with all their ugliness. It's hard to get rid of them too, but with God's word as Your weed killer,it works everytime!
Becky

HAPPY 4TH......

There's red for the blood they shed.....
There's blue for the courage they wore......
There's white for the stars of purity.....

What a setting for a country that would depict freedom.
How mighty men of valor shed their rich,red blood, and spread their royal blue coats of courage for their country. The white purity of their honor, cost many their lives, but the price of freedom was worth it to all......and for this we give thanks!

There was another man who gave us freedom too!
He shed His blood for our sins, so that we could be free from sin.
One day He will return,and He will wear the royal blue robe of our King Jesus!
When He returns, He will radiate the purity of all honor and glory and praise......And for this we give thanks!
To Him, our Morning Star above all, we give thanks for our independance from Sin......
Happy 4th Of July!
Becky

JOY & PEACE

Most people that know me,understand that I love to dance. I spent many years taking dance lessons from the Royal School of Ballet, so toe;tap and ballet were my passion for a good while.(Tap was not really among them though!)
If you see me on Sunday's as I listen to Matt rehearsing the choir,I'm usually handing out bulletin's,"Becky style". In other words,I'm dancing in church!!!.... Horrors! :p)
It's no wonder I love to dance when you hear that music and its wonderful rhythm. I just can't help it folks!
This saying perhaps describes me best. Sorry,I don't know where it came from!
"Joy is peace dancing and peace is joy at rest."
If that's my philosophy,then all I have to say for the Lord,is:

"I COULD HAVE DANCED ALL NIGHT,AND STILL HAVE DANCED SOME MORE"
Becky

DEAR FATHER

Dear Father,
My love letter can't hold all the words I want to say to You.You mean so much to me,Lord. You have created our magnificent world,.......out of nothing.
.......and then we sinned!
and then You took us back!
.......and we kept on sinning, and complaining.....
and You gave us judges, and a taste of what we complained about.
........and we kept on sinning
and then You did the ultimate thing Father,........
You gave up Your very own Son,......Jesus Christ........as a living sacrifice,to die in our place for all our sins,so that we could spend eternity with You,in Heaven above......
You loved us THAT much......
.........and we still keep on sinning!
