For Mrs. Mac And Her Little Gift, Nathan

Yesterday we received our first snow fall of the year and I must admit, even to Mrs. Mac that is was just lovely!

As I drove down the lane way to work, I just had to exclaim over the loveliness of the peaceful scene.

As I sit here this first day of another week, the chorus to the song, "Whiter Than the Snow", has been playing in my heart,

"Whiter than the snow!
Whiter than the snow!
Wash me in the Blood of the Lamb,
And I shall be whiter than snow!"

Isaiah 1:18...."Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

What a way to start the Lord's day!!


Wishing everyone of you a Blessed Lord's Day...........Love Terry

Children Are An Heritage Of The Lord

For the last six hours since I got home from work, I have been thinking of two of my blogging friends, Noel Lewis and Curious Servant.
Both of them wrote about their sons in their blog sites yesterday and both posting are pure gold!
To read about their devotion and love to their sons does a heart really good and it must make the Lord, who has entusted these souls to them so proud of these two gentlemen.

As you know, Bernie and I have no children and this was a heartache to us for a long time.
I HAVE had contact with children for many years though.
For a few years I used to teach piano to little children, but my main occupation with the little ones is picking them up for Sunday School every week.
For several years I had a Sunday School class of 3 to 5 year olds.

A few years back the Welland Christians had children's Bible meetings in a near by city and I used to pick up a whole car load of kids every week.
It was near Christmas time one week that I picked my kids up as usual and one little boy asked me, "Would you come to my Christmas Concert at my school this Friday? My mom and dad won't be going."
"Why sure," I said, "I will pick you and the other children up and we will all go together!"
I did pick him up that Friday and sat in the large auditorium with the rest of the "parents".
When the little guy came out with his class for their part in the concert, I saw him right away.
His little eyes were roving here and there looking over the audience and when they rested on me, I gave him a little wave and he give me a little smile.
My heart almost burst with happiness!
I thought to myself, "Don't his parents KNOW what they are missing?
What could of have been MORE important than being here with this precious little jewel of a child?"
After that concert , I never did see the lad again but the memory of that special night will remain in my heart forever!

As Noel Lewis said in his post about going to see his little boy's play...."Priceless!"
And the encouragement and good advice of Curious Servant to HIS teenage son, invloving his child's driving test, I would say that THAT is priceless too!


The two posts are well worth reading!!
