Hey, LTOS. Happy Tuesday.

“The Angels having a Bowling Tournament!” Now that was clever!

Wishing you a beautiful day.

Thanks, Meg.

I finally saw a doctor. He said it is a virus and I need to take it easy for another week. Taking a decongestant to clear some of this head congestion. Haven’t been doing much except taking naps.

We are having beautiful, warm afternoons after foggy mornings. Our friends in the east have been in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for your kind prayers for my Mom..it is really not looking good for her, as all of this is affecting her mind. Please, please pray for her and my family...

Thank you! You too...I hope it is not too cold where you are.

Been having beautiful weather but .... we need some rain. I think we are at about 15% of normal.

[MEG33]

The month of January was a complete bust for me...I am so far behind I’ll never catch up...I still have allergies but the symptoms aren’t as miserable. I hope you feel better soon, dear Amy.
We are cooler here but looking at the weather back east and up north.....I feel fortunate.

What Money Can’t Buy

February 4, 2015

Read: Ephesians 1:3-14 | Bible in a Year: Exodus 34-35; Matthew 22:23-46

“There are some things money can’t buy—but these days, not many” according to Michael Sandel, author of What Money Can’t Buy. A person can buy a prison-cell upgrade for $90 a night, the right to shoot an endangered black rhino for $250,000, and your doctor’s cell phone number for $1,500. It seems that “almost everything is up for sale.”

But one thing money can’t buy is redemption—freedom from the stranglehold of sin. When the apostle Paul began writing about the rich nature of God’s plan of salvation through Jesus, his heart erupted in praise: “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us” (Eph. 1:7-8).

Jesus’ death on the cross was the high cost of delivering us from sin. And only He could pay that price because He was the perfect Son of God. The natural response to such free but costly grace is spontaneous praise from our hearts and commitment to the God who bought us through Jesus (1:13-14).

Praise to our loving God—He has come to set us free!

What amazing love You have for us, heavenly Father!
That You gave Your Son who willingly
died in our place. It seems too good
to be true. Thank You!

Only Jesus’ death could purchase our freedom.

INSIGHT: God’s generosity is immeasurable. He paid the price for the forgiveness of our sins and purchased our salvation (Eph. 1:7). “All praise to God”! (v.3 nlt).
