In the year 1939, my grandfather, William, gave my grandmother, Leona, a small devotional book. Eighty-one years later, the book is treasured by me. I love the inscription inside the front cover that reads, ‘To my “Beloved Buddy,” 5-14-39, Bill.’ I’m sure that my grandfather never guessed when he gave my grandmother the devotional that someday a grand-daughter, eight decades in the future, would use a verse within the pages and post it around the world on a thing called the Internet.
The eternal possibilities of the witness of Christian lives reminds us to continue telling the world about Jesus, the Son of God, and the Salvation he offers to all mankind. Who knows, perhaps eighty-one years from now someone will read this post and be touched by the Lord. You never know! For certain, my grandparents never knew that the gift of a devotional book would one day become a way to witness to hundreds of people.
I have renewed my WordPress blog for another year, so hopefully, even if it might be hit or miss, and certainly not the daily post I wrote in the past, perhaps I can think of some new ways to spread the Good News. God Bless You!

I get what you are saying but my prayer is that 81 years from now we are all tucked away in the new Jerusalem

I hope so too! That is what makes every moment until then so important.

We never do really know how the message we are preaching is changing the world around us. We only stand on the promise that “God’s word will never return void it will always accomplish the purpose for which it was sent forth.” Isa. 55

I so agree. I thank God all the time for the witnesses in my own life. Even though there were times I went astray I’ve loved Jesus as long as I can remember.

I remember life before Christ. It was black and full of hopelessness. I am so glad He rescued me when He did!
