Just a memory now.....

Just a memory now but what an enjoyable one. The coloring of thsese and the ruffles of the marigolds are delightful. I am reading and always trying to de-clutter. Hopeless....that. 'Stuff" is here to stay!

Saija said...: lovely colours! tho' just a dream for me at the moment ... However, our winter has been so mild (to this point) that it makes me hope for an early spring - and the riot of colours that can bring! blessings on you dear friend ...; 11:20 AM

I've given up trying to declutter! I spend ages getting stuff out of wardrobes & cupboards but then I start looking at the books, papers & letters, photographs & clothes and eventually after hours I put nearly all of them back again!
The only thing we have managed to get rid of are stacks of vinyl LPS & 45s which my grandson has decided to collect. I had a lovely time going through them, all the sixties Beatles, Stones, Manfred Mann, Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Shadows, Everly Brothers, Gene Pitney, Roy Orbison & loads more. Must have spent most of my wages on records. Great memories, made me want to buy a record player to listen to them again but I don't need any more stuff! Nathan might let me listen to them again once this lockdown is over!; 4:47 PM

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.'
