Why
is my life fantastic?
I'm so glad you asked, because.....
I count each day as a gift
from God
and try to live it in
Life
is exciting!
There is so much to do and so much to learn.
I've learned many wonderful things,
and have loved and been loved by so many marvelous
people.
Most of all, my family.
Husband, Don. Children: Dawn Lee, Don Jr.,
Mark, Dari Lynn, Matthew and Luke.
And oodles of grandkids, each so special!
And, I couldn't forget my in-law kids:
Helen, Cat, Wally, Sherry and Tammie.
I
am loved!
But....I've been loved by someone else, with
way more than the love
I've received from my husband ...or even my
children.
Jesus!
His love is so undeserved, yet He loved me
enough to die on the cross for me.
And.....for You! Think it over. Life eternal--that's a pretty good deal.
John 3:16 says it all!
With God...you don't have to give anything
up...just the opposite,
you gain everything!
Life won't be all roses and sweetness,
but you'll have someone to go to with your
problems,
someone who cares, and is in control!
I
am blessed!
I thank
God for each new day.
Each morning His mercies are new.
Oh, I don't have that new Honda del Sol I'd
like.
Or, a nice empty garage, or a storage building
to store all my crafting
and quilting supplies. Or, an
unlimited bank account.
Or,--and the list goes on and on. But, I have
life.
Life, here on earth, and a promise of life
eternal in heaven.
See
John 5:24 and other great scriptures.
But,
sometimes, the Lord
has to get our attention
- - -
In 1980, I was
diagnosed with breast cancer
and had to have a breast removed.
Not a pleasant thing to do, and
I admit--I was scared.
Not that I thought I was going to die
(although the thought certainly crossed my
mind),
but I came face-to-face with my own mortal
frailty.
I'd always been healthy, had never even had
a headache, yet the doctor was telling me
I had Cancer.
Well, the night before the surgery (as well
as many other times)
I prayed and asked the Lord to spare me, at
least for a few years.
You see, my youngest son (Don and I have six
children,
all grown-up and married now with families
of their own)
was just entering the 8th grade. I begged
the Lord to let me see
him graduate from high school before taking
me home.
I felt my most special calling in life was
to be the best mother
I could be to my children. To me, that
meant being around
until they were ready to leave the nest.
That was nearly 20 years ago, and I'm still
here,
living life to the fullest. When someone
says
"You have cancer,"
you don't think about your possessions and
your status in life--
you think about life itself.
The most precious commodity in the world.
And, I have a husband who stood by me
and never once has mentioned the disfigurement
the surgery caused.
His patience and encouragement meant more
to me than he will every know.
God answered the prayers of this mother
(and many others who were faithfully praying),
so do you see why I'm blessed?
Scroll on down on this page,
please.
Are
YOU blessed?
Or,
are you tired of the rush of the world?
The hassle of everyday living?
The pressures that are pulling you in every
direction?
The responsibilities of job and family?
Keeping up with your neighbors?
Spending more each month than you have coming
in?
Watching the VISA and Mastercard balance grow
each month?
Seeing the interest you owe on the unpaid
balance accumulate?
Sometimes,
wouldn't you like to tell the world to stop
spinning so you could get off?
You work so hard to provide and care for the
family you love,
yet you
never have time to spend with them.
Do you feel trapped? Weary of the rat
race?
How
long has it been since you've attended church?
A good fundamental church?
Not one that just tickles your ears, but one
that truly preaches the Bible?
Hasn't that still, small voice whispered to
you,
reminding you that there is a void in your
life
that only God's presence in your life can
fill?
How
long has it been since you picked up a Bible
and read God's Word?
Have you tried reading some of the newer versions?
Like the NIV, The Living Bible, or my favorite--The
Narrated Bible.
These translations make it so much easier
to understand,
with a more modern day language. Try
one.
ONLY GOD'S WORD CAN PROVIDE THE ANSWERS AND
COMFORT WE SEEK
See
John 5:24 and other great scriptures here.
Email
me if I can be of any assistance,
or refer you to websites that will answer
your questions.
There is no substitute way to obtain eternal
life in heaven, but through Christ.
Oh, you say you think the Bible may be wrong?
But, what if it isn't?
Are you willing to take that chance?
Just because you don't believe it, doesn't
make it any less true.
I'd love to pray for you, just ask.
