Just me trying to be honest with God.

“What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God.” Eleanor Powell

“…bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.” 1Pt.3.9

One year around Christmas, I was looking for an illustration to use in a message and came across a story about a little girl who picked up a bow and put it on her head. She ran up to her daddy who was reading in the next room and excitedly said, ‘Look Daddy, I’m a present.” I should think this a great way to live-not to have the opinion that we are God’s gift to others but to live in such a manner that they have found us to be. Not a bad epitaph written by family and friends: “A blessing to everyone who knew them.” 9/18/2009 Conversations Within ts
