A WONDERFUL MEANING OF RAIN
1 JOHN 1:9 ---- If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. For our "Out of the mouths of Babe's" category, I received
the following story this week. So let us sit back and listen
to a 6 year old child as she teaches us a valuable lesson.
I hope you will enjoy this, and pause a moment to think about
it as well.
Subject: A wonderful meaning of Rain
Rain: One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main
streets of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when
the roads are wet and slick.
Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen, spoke up from her relaxed
position in her seat. "Dad, I'm thinking of something." This
announcement usually meant she had been pondering some
fact for a while, and was now ready to expound all that her
six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.
"What are you thinking?" I asked.
"The rain! ;" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield wipers
are like God wiping our sins away.
After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.
"That's really good, Aspen." Then my curiosity broke in. How far
would this little girl take this revelation? So I asked... "Do you
notice how the rain keeps on coming?
What does that tell you?"
Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer: "We keep
on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."
I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.
After all, In order to see the rainbow, you must first endure
some rain. Amen. Author unknown.... In His Love, Lois J.

THE MORNING GLORY
I awaken to the glory of the morn',
sunshine streaking, birds cheerfully cheeping,
another day is born. The Morning Glory inaudibly climbs,
and shares its shy beauty, so rare.
And, we know that behind its mystery,
Our Creative God is there. He blesses us with sunshine,
He blesses us with rain,
because it's only through the showers,
that do we not, remain the same. So, as this new day awakens,
and I'm cradled securely in Your arms,
May Your love forever keep me safe,
and sheltered from all storms. In His Love, Lois J.

WALK WITH ME
My friend and I were sitting at the table
We were talking over things we'd seen and done
When I saw a lone tear stream down her face
So I asked her then to tell me what was wrong
I saw her hesitate for just a moment
Then with a shaking voice she went on to say
I've been so afraid to talk about this
Cause as a friend I couldn't bear you to turn me away
She said, "If you died today do you know you'd go to heaven?
Have you thought much about eternity?
Have you asked the Lord to be your Saviour?
So that when we walk the golden streets you will walk with me."
She went on to say that we are all born sinners
And just being good won't help you or me
That if we don't take Jesus as our Saviour
An eternity in hell is where we'll be
We just have to realize and ask forgiveness
Then ask Jesus to come into our heart
From that point we'll forever be His children
Cause to Him that point is where our life will start
She said, "If you died today do you know you'd go to heaven?
Have you thought much about eternity?
Have you asked the Lord to be your Saviour?
So that when we walk the golden streets you will walk with me." With God's Love, Lois

THE LITTLE COUNTRY CHURCH
‘Twas a little frame Country Church, standing over there.
Many times, I walked this way, under parents' loving care.
We had a special pew, room enough for a babe to have a bed,
As we sat quietly and listened to what the preacher said.
He was a man of God. The Spirit of God, through him, truly ran.
God’s words he spoke to us. He was a Godly man.
We would sing the songs of old, about our Savior’s love
And how awesome it would be when we get to Heaven above.
Our Church was out in the country, beside a lovely wood.
We’d listen to the gentle breeze blowing through the trees, as oft as we could.
It seemed so peaceful, the little Church ever so full of Grace.
Wouldn’t it be a wonder, someday, just to go back and see this place?
I can almost hear the singing now, about how amazing was God’s love;
How the river of life was ever flowing in Heaven, there, above.
When a soul was saved by grace, the Angels would shout and sing
For the victory of our Savior, to Heaven, more souls to bring.
There aren’t as many little Churches, today, standing closely by.
We would have to go back to yesterday, maybe break down and cry.
But those days are gone forever. For, now, we have Churches of brick and stone.
But if we can still, in our hearts go back, then it’s never really gone. With God's Love Lois J.

IN MY GARDEN
In My GardenIn my garden, filled with flowers,
I sit in quiet prayer
And, as I look around me,
I see God everywhere.
He's in the fragrant roses,
In glorious array.
Their perfume lingers in the air
And takes my breath away.
A gentle breeze is blowing.
Sunshine warms my face.
How near to God I feel,
In this enchanting place.
I see His hand in everything,
Sweet gifts sent from above.
My soul knows only peace,
As I rest, here, in His love.

With God's Love, Lois
