No Not One



NO NOT ONE


I was sitting on the doorstep with my friend Sophie
one Saturday evening, and I said, “Sophie, ask your Mama if
you spend the night at my house tonight.”
“Hey, great idea”, she said.  We were only seven years old,
and having a sleep over was way cool. 







Then she said, “Oh wait, tomorrow is Sunday.  Are you
going to go to church?” I said, “Well, yes, of course I am, but
you can go with us.  Come on, you will like Sunday School.  It is fun.”
“Oh, I don’t know”, she said.  “Why, don’t you want to go”?
She said, “I don’t think God wants me in Heaven,
I have been too bad.”   
I giggled at Sophie, and she gasped..I quickly apologized
And gave her a hug..and said:



My dear friend
My Dear Lord and Savior
Gave his precious son’s
life blood for you  
All of us are too bad for Heaven…
But NONE of us are too bad
To be FORGIVEN…

He gave his life on the cross, and shed
His precious blood and this covered
ALL of your sins
(EVERYTHING)
You have done nothing that is so bad…
So that you can not go to
HEAVEN…
If you will only
Accept him into your heart and life.


I then looked at Sophie and said…Now what did you do that is SO BAD
That you think God does not want YOU in HEAVEN…
“Well, one time I stole a piece of gum, and I don’t go to church all the time.”  “Oh my”, I said and giggled and then she told me she was afraid of my Daddy because he was a preacher and I really belly laughed.. I told her, “Sophie, You are a good friend, I love you.”  “God loves you too, and my Daddy is not a bear.”  Come to church with me and learn about Jesus ❤

If you or anyone you know thinks that they are TOO bad to get to HEAVEN…
THINK AGAIN…

ONLY JESUS WALKED ON WATER

There is NO ONE on this earth who has not sinned….NO NOT ONE

Romans 3:23.24 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Romans 10:9-10 - 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.  

Ephesians 2:8-10 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:  

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

John 3:5 - Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Of Hens and Humans

  I saw a lot of human characteristics and actions while I sat there on the stoop at my Mama's Ruby's house.  You can learn a lot watching the happenings in a barnyard.   I know I did watching the many adventures of my grandparent's roosters and chickens.   This brought to me, after all of these years, in a featherly way what is common and wrong in the lives of people.   We are a lot like those birds. I have a beautiful group of chickens and roosters. They are all different varieties and colors.   Each one has its own style and personality.   I named one of those beautiful hens, Ellie Mae.  She was a victim of the other chickens’ unfair treatment.  She was a beautiful hen.  I would sit and watch her walk around the grass.  I was sitting on the porch cracking some pecans one day.  We were going to make some pies.   I noticed that sweet Ellie Mae had some feathers missing.   L ater that day, I saw what had ha...

JUST DUST

JUST DUST As I peered down the grocer aisle, there she was.. Standing there with her red pigtails, and fancy hair bows. I wanted to melt into the floor, and fade into the tile.  I was wearing my polyester pant suit that my Aunt Lucy made me... She was wearing store bought clothes; it was just one of the reasons  she thought she was better than me.      And well, some kids at school thought if you didn't have  those fancy store bought things that you didn't match up.   I was just not good enough.  See, my family didn't have all those fancy  things that money could afford. My daddy was a hard worker. He worked from daylight to dark.. He was a carpenter.    My Mama and Daddy gave me and  my brothers a wonderful, loving home.   They provided for us well.  They took us to church. ...
