You can click on these to enlarge them, and if you hold your cursor in the bottom right hand the picture will enlarge a second time and you will be able to read the print. Thats the way it works on my pc anyway. I'm off to have some yogurt and get to bed...hope you enjoy these as much as I am.

While shopping at the antique mall the other day, I bought a Better Homes & Garden magazine from February 1940. Eight years before I was born. We paid $4.50 cents for this magazine which sold for 10 cents back then. Anyway, this add is my absolute favorite and I am enjoying seeing what life and advertising was like back then. What a beautiful car, it looks like it could plow through any blizzard, doesn't it?
I'm going to post a few pictures/add over on my vintage blog. Hope you enjoy the nostalgic look back in time as much as I am. I'm having a ball with this magazine. It's a keeper..=).

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.'
