Rescued
August 31, 2010
Lauren nervously yet excitedly hopped into a one-person kayak for a white-water rafting experience. After strapping herself in, she headed down the river with a group of kayakers and guides.
Lauren became even more nervous when she laid eyes on the falls ahead. Suddenly, as the kayak tossed and turned in the white water, it flipped over. She had been instructed on how to get out quickly if this were to happen. But she became disoriented as she hung upside-down in the water and couldn’t find the release bar to get out. She knew she couldn’t hold her breath much longer and thought she would soon be in the Lord’s presence. Then help came just in time and she was saved. Lauren was very grateful for her rescue from physical death.
An even greater rescue has been provided for us—rescue from spiritual death has come in the Person of Jesus Christ. While we were drowning in sin, God sent His Son Jesus to bring life through His own death and resurrection (Rom. 5:8; Eph. 2:5). He did so because He is “rich in mercy” and because of “His great love” (Eph. 2:4).
Out of gratefulness, we can help others by telling them of the Rescuer they so desperately need.
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save. —Crosby
Those who’ve been rescued should be ready and willing to help in the rescue of others.
Read: Ephesians 2:1-10
God, who is rich in mercy, . . . made us alive together with Christ. —
Ephesians 2:4-5

Lake Tejas is where I spent many carefree, summer days in the Fifties listening to "Don't Be Cruel" and "You Ain't Nothin; but A Hound Dog"....over and over and over... played on a jukebox for a nickel a pop.
Happy days!

Can't you just hear those little boys reminscing about their wonderful summer,
while dreading the start of another school year?
Thank you for Today's Wonderful Opening.
It is great to have you back.
Have a delightful day.

Lake Tejas looks like a fun and relaxing place to spend some time. It reminds me a little of our Hill Country retreat where we spend a weekend every summer. I love to get away to a place near water and hills!

Hi Billie! It is a Natural Spring in Orlando that found itself on the grounds of Bonnet Creek Resort in DISNEY! LOL!

Is this your garden, M.L.? If so, its pretty! I know its summer all the time in Florida. I had a lot of relatives in Florida but I'm sad to say, they were my aunts and uncles and are now deceased. But I sure have some great memories from my very early years right to my teen-age years! Those relatives were such lovely people and treated us so well always. I miss them a lot!
My Dad worked on the railroad and we got to ride the trains free. My friends thought I was the luckiest gal in the world and sometimes I think I was!!
