And For Love Of My Wife

Happy Valentines Day

"After All These Years"

A faded wedding photograph
You and me in our first dance
Our eyes are closed
We're lost in one sweet embrace

Since those days the world has changed
But our love remains the same
God knows we've had our share of saving grace

And I'm proud of all the blessings you have given me
The mountains we have climbed to get this far
We've learned to take the laughter with the tears
After all these years

You make it feel brand new
After the fires that we walked through
Against the odds we never lost our faith

In a house we made our home
Where our children all have grown
Precious moments time cannot erase

Make a living up and down the gypsy highways
The seasons that we had to share apart
Somehow in my heart I always keep you near
After all these years

After all these years
You stood by me the days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed, believed in me, and you stood strong
Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
After all these years

After all these years
You stood by me the days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed, believed in me, and you stood strong
Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
After all these years

....still livin on love by the grace of God honey:-)

I love you

God even gave us a sweet memory from our first blind date where we walked along the beach and I gave you my sweater to keep you warm on that chilly night as I watched you see the ocean for the first time in your life:-)

Nothing Is Impossible With God!!!

In the book, Life and Works of Spurgeon, Charles Spurgeon gives the account of his conversion. This hope is there for anyone who would ONLY LOOK TO CHRIST:It pleased God in my childhood to convince me of sin.… My heart was broken in pieces. Six months did I pray—prayed agonizingly with all my heart, and never had an answer. I resolved that, in the town where I lived, I would visit every place of worship in order to find out the way of salvation. I felt I was willing to do anything and be anything if God would only forgive me.I set off, determined to go round to all the chapels; and I went to all the places of worship; and though I dearly venerate the men that occupy those pulpits now, and did so then, I am bound to say that I never heard them once fully preach the Gospel. I mean by that, they preached truth, great truths, many good truths that were fitting to many of their congregation—spiritually-minded people; but what I wanted to know was, How can I get my sins forgiven? And they never once told me that. I wanted to hear how a poor sinner, under a sense of sin, might find peace with God; and when I went I heard a sermon on "Be not deceived: God is not mocked," which cut me up worse, but did not say how I might escape. I went again another day, and the text was something about the glories of the righteous: nothing for poor me.…At last, one snowy day—it snowed so much I could not go to the place I had determined to go to, and I was obliged to stop on the road, and it was a blessed stop to me—I found rather an obscure street, and turned down a court, and there was a little chapel.…I wanted to know how I might be saved.…At last a very thin-looking man came into the pulpit and opened his Bible and read these words: "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth." Just setting his eyes upon me, as if he knew me all by heart, he said, "Young man, you are in trouble." Well, I was, sure enough. Says he, "You will never get out of it unless you look to Christ."And then, lifting up his hands, he cried out…, "Look, look, look! It is only look!" I saw at once the way of salvation. Oh, how I did leap for joy at that moment! I know not what else he said; I did not take much notice of it—I was so possessed with that one thought. Like as when the brazen serpent was lifted up, they only looked and were healed. I had been waiting to do fifty things, but when I heard this word "Look!" what a charming word it seemed to me! Oh, I looked until I could almost have looked my eyes away! And in Heaven I will look on still in my joy unutterable.

After the Sermon On The Mount, Jesus came down from the Mount and a leper was the first person to meet Him knowing that the Lord was oh so willing to heal him, and then a centurion with a tormented servant knew that all God had to do was just say the word and he would be healed. It is almost the same with salvation. I say almost because God has already spoken the word:

"IT IS FINISHED!"

Believe that He has already spoken and your salvation will be finished as well. Do you hear him from your graves calling out to you and saying,

"IT IS FINISHED!"?

Hear Him now.

Only Look To Christ!!!
