Here he is...our 'mr. adorable'. Our grandson will be two years old January 19th, and we are loving this time spent getting to know him in his 'big boy' phase. His endless energy and curiosity are delightful to watch. At our church we had our Children's program this morning and when the children finished singing, he clapped and yelled out a joyous ...'Hurray' !! And....when the children were performing a song for Jesus with hand chimes, our sweet grandson (who has been watching the movie, Peter Pan) heard the chimes and called out.."Tinkerbell"...what a smile maker he is. My daughter and I laughed so hard. Well, enough bragging from me tonight. Children are our richest treasures on this earth. Life is a gift of God...I am reminded of my mortality but also that... "Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth". Psalms 119:151 This life is the threshold of eternity...these little ones are us....in our yesterdays and we are them in the years to come. Sobering thoughts, but joyful if our trust is in Christ our Saviour.

My Testimony

I was saved when I was 32 years old. We had evangelistic meetings the week of Mother's Day. When asked by the evangelist if I died tonight would I be sure I would go to heaven. I answered...'I hope so'. He answered, 'young lady, heaven is a 'know so' place'. He asked me to sit up front the next day in church, and the message was 'Hell will be filled with 'good' people'. The first one third of the message I sat in the pew and reviewed to God and myself what a 'good' person I really was. Not! The Holy Spirit of God brought conviction to my heart so vividly, that I clearly remember not needing to hear any more of the sermon. God's word had reached ME! I was a sinner on my way to Hell. I couldn't wait to go forward and pray, accepting Christ as my Saviour. I believed on him that day and received Him personally by repentance and prayer, confessing my need of salvation. Hell will be filled with good people all right, BUT good only in their own eyes. God alone is sinless and 'good'.

"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is mad unto salvation.

Romans 10: 9 & 10 Verse 13 says this, 'for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' John 1:12 & 13 says, 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.'
