We did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 2 Peter 1:16
Raucous laughter marked the guests in my father’s hospital room: Two old truck drivers, one former country/western singer, one craftsman, two women from neighboring farms, and me.
“...and then he got up and busted the bottle over my head,” the craftsman said, finishing his story about a bar fight.
Shape my words and phrases to share Your love.
The room bursts into laughter at this now-humorous memory. Dad, struggling for breath as his laughing fought with his cancer for the air in his lungs, puffs out a reminder to everybody that Randy is a preacher” so they need to watch what they say. Everything got quiet for about two seconds, then the whole room exploded as this news makes them laugh harder and louder.
Suddenly, about forty minutes into this visit, the craftsman clears his throat, turns to my dad, and gets serious. “No more drinking and bar fights for me, Howard. Those days are behind me. Now I have a different reason to live. I want to tell you about my Savior.”
He then proceeded to do just that, over my father’s surprisingly mild protests. If there’s a sweeter, gentler way to present the gospel message, I’ve never heard it.
My dad listened and watched, and some years later believed in Jesus too.
It was a simple testimony from an old friend living a simple life, reminding me again that simple isn’t naïve or stupid; it’s direct and unpretentious.
Just like Jesus. And salvation.
Go and make disciples of all nations. Matthew 28:19

Hope is the thing with feathers
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
Emily Dickinson
A Happy GratiTuesday to everyone here at Amy's Place!

Locked Into Love
December 28, 2016
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Psalm 106:1
In June 2015, the city of Paris removed forty-five tons of padlocks from the railings of the Pont des Arts pedestrian bridge. As a romantic gesture, couples would etch their initials onto a lock, attach it to the railing, click it shut, and throw the key into the River Seine.
After this ritual was repeated thousands of times, the bridge could no longer bear the weight of so much love. Eventually the city, fearing for the integrity of the bridge, removed the love locks.
The locks were meant to symbolize everlasting love, but human love does not always last. The closest of friends may offend each other and never resolve their differences. Family members may argue and refuse to forgive. A husband and wife may drift so far apart that they cant remember why they once decided to marry. Human love can be fickle.
But there is one constant and enduring lovethe love of God. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever, proclaims Psalm 106:1. The promises of the unfailing and everlasting nature of Gods love are found throughout Scripture. And the greatest proof of this love is the death of His Son so that those who put their faith in Him can live eternally. And nothing will ever separate us from His love (Rom. 8:3839).
Fellow believers, we are locked into Gods love forever.
Im grateful for Your unending love, Father. Im locked into Your love by the Holy Spirit who is living in me.
Christs death and resurrection are the measure of Gods love for me.
Christs work on the cross to secure our salvation has been completed. With a triumphant proclamation, Jesus said, It is finished (John 19:30). Forty days after His resurrection, Jesus returned to the Father. Now seated at Gods right hand, the exalted Christ continues His redemptive and sanctifying work as our eternal High Priest (Heb. 4:1416). He is our Advocate with the Father (1 John 2:12; 1 Tim. 2:5), always defending and interceding for us (Heb. 7:2425; 9:24). Paul confidently writes, Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Rom. 8:1). No one can successfully bring a charge of condemnation against those who are in Christ (vv. 3334).

Falling Snow
The snow whispers about me,
And my wooden clogs
Leave holes behind me in the snow.
But no one will pass this way
Seeking my footsteps,
And when the temple bell rings again
They will be covered and gone..
Amy Lawrence Lowell (1874 - 1925)
