Day 18 of The Giving of Thanks.

Salvation.
Mine! 11/18/1975 at just about 9:00 PM. 
It was long labor to birth me into the Kingdom of GOD but there was a brother willing to wage the war. He is now with JESUS, has been for a long while now. 

I remember the night yet. I remember the moment I agreed to trade my wretched sins for JESUS’ Righteousness. I remember well finally acknowledging to the LORD of GLORY that I was a hell-deserving sinner, while HE assured me that HIS SACRIFICE was enough to save even me. 
I believed HIM. 
I said Thank you.
And I am certain HE said, You’re welcome.
Neither of us has ever been sorry.

Day 17 of The Giving of Thanks.

Today’s Technology.  Particularly photography. 
Yes. I am much thankful to live in this current time. Even though this present time is over-run with depravity, I am rejoicing in what GOD uses for our good. 
Pictures.  Pictures preserve for us what is presently not near to hold. I appreciate that. And there are literally thousands, yes, thousands of others but some privacy is appropriate. :)

I hope you enjoy a little look into some of my memories.  Happy Tuesday to you all.  Let us continue in The Giving of Thanks.

Day 16 of The Giving of Thanks.

African Violets.
The violets and more represented in this picture give me reasons to give thanks. These purple lovelies are a gift from one gone to Heaven. The framed watercolor of a fine Artist I call my friend. The shell gathered longer ago than I remember walking the beach with JT. The glass shelf, a labor of love. Memorabilia. When it brings us to thanks, it’s a really good thing.  

Joshua 4. 

19 Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho. 20 And those twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal. 21 Then he spoke to the children of Israel, saying: “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What are these stones?’ 22 then you shall let your children know, saying, ‘Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry land’; 23 for the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over, 24 that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever.”  source

And so today my desire and my hope are in days very soon that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever.”
