"Love With The Love of God"

Charles and I were sitting out on our front porch enjoying the cool evening breeze. We were watching the sprinklers across the street shooting out long streams of water on the high school playing field. Graduation is Saturday night and as soon as the grass greens up on the practice field, the young boys will start playing flag football. This has been a habit of ours for forty- four years. That is how long we have lived in this house. All four of our children graduated from Perryton High School just a few steps from our house. Our roses and flowers have done exceptionally well this summer and we are so blessed to sit out and enjoy their beauty and sweet smell.

I know that some day this home will belong to someone else, but I thank God for all the years we have lived here. I thank Him for every child and grandchild He has blessed us with. If I keep my eyes upon Jesus I will not be dragged through the pits of hell that I believe is near to our nation. I am ready to trade this home for a better home on high.

It saddens me to know that many families have parted ways because of twisted thoughts that God could have straightened out if only the halo could have been removed. Blind eyes could not be opened because of an undiscerning spirit that the victim would not let go. First and foremost false pride had captured the, would-be lovely creature, God had chosen to bless. Sickness and death came too soon for that person of folly. I have personally known such persons I just spoke of, and I feel like I failed when trying to help them. Their hearts seemed made of stone, and nothing was going to change them. Some hate victims I have dealt with were healed after much exposure to the Word of God, but never doubt that it was a miracle of God.

A smile is part of the attire we should wear every day, but be informed that some smiles have a secret to them. Let us be true to our smile and bring a smile to others.



God bless all the lovers of humbleness.
