Final good-byes, but not really

It has been a hard day. Many tears have been shed today - tears of sadness and joy. It is amazing that you can be sad and happy at the same time.  Final goodbyes were said to son, daughter in law, and grand children as they finished packing their van to head out of state.  Their first stop, to say good bye to her folks.  Next stop, Orlando Florida to fly out to Brazil on Wednesday.  

 


The Lord has answered so many prayers over the years.   All of our children have been prayed for from the womb, that God would take them and use them for His service.  Our children were given to the Lord for His service and we are thrilled that God has answered! What more could parents ask for? One of our sons is moving on now to the place that God has called him - Cuiaba, Mato Grosso, Brazil.   


There is great gratitude in our hearts for great things that the Lord has done and for the fact that final good-byes were not really said because we will never say goodbye in glory!  Praise the Lord, if our children know Him, that is one thing we can take to heaven with us!

ABORTION

The poem below was written by a teen-age resident at the Hephzibah House ministry. See him sit with features formed, in the hand of the One Divine, Each little tiny finger, each little toe, shaped from day so fine; God hath wrought this special one, for a purpose and a plan, To bring glory to His name, and to live for celestial gain.   But the one whom God hath chosen to carry His precious babe, Thought her sin too large and great and made a choice in shame; Death was the degrading sentence, with fear the reason why And gone was the child God did form, with a silent unheard cry.   Now before his God he stands, while his body with others rests, The souls of hindered children cry for judgment to be passed; How long with this nation endure, while mocking human life? God will require it at our hand, and rain judgment with strife.   *Note:  While the author of this blog does not believe in abortion, she does believe that God did not ordain sin nor the wron...
