Amazing Love


Flogged…
Mocked…
“Hail King of the Jews!”
Struck in the face…
Dressed in a purple robe…
“Crucify!” “Crucify!”
The Son of God…

Carried His own cross…
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS…
Took His clothes…
Divided them…
Cast lots for them…

“I am thirsty.” Jesus said
It is finished.” Jesus proclaimed
He bowed His head…
And gave up His spirit…

I put Jesus on the cross and deserve nothing for my wretched sinfulness. But yet in all of Christ’s anguish and pain…He still forever loves me just the same.

One day I will lay prostrate at His feet…my friend…my Father…my King and thank Him with tears of joy for what He did for me and how He showed…

Just how much He loves me!

All honor and glory are His as I proclaim…

 

Holy, holy, holy,

Art thou Lord God almighty.

Worthy, worthy, worthy,

Is the Lamb that was slain!
 
 
I love you Jesus!!!

My Life at the Villa

The Keystone Villa...where I work
My life has changed dramatically in the past six months. Because of ensuing college tuition, I took a part time job as a caregiver and work 20-25 hours every week and every other weekend. Now don't get me wrong, I love my job. I am sure God has placed me at this very nice assisted/independent living home to give some of His love through me to those who sometimes get forgotten in today's busy world. I look forward to work and greeting my older and wiser friends with a simple "good morning" followed by a hug and kiss on the cheek.

As the snow falls gently and the birds sing their sweet melody, I remain thankful for all God has provided. I know He has me right where He needs me to be at this time in my life. Even though it means getting up at five in the morning just to spend a few quiet moments with Him before I go to work. I remain Christ's ambassador relying on His strength to walk the path He has set before me...and do it with love.
 
"We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors,
as though God were making his appeal through us..."
 
~II Corinthians 5:20
