Excellent post, Elder...

I love the Lord because He woke me up this morning, with health and strength and the activity of my limbs and a reasonable portion of a right mind.

A songwriter once said, "though I made plans for this very day, death could have come in the night to take me away..."

I am so aware that it is not my goodness or cuteness or anything else that has done this, but the grace and mercy of a good and loving God...

So for this today, I say, I Love you, Lord...with all of my heart and with all of my soul...!!

When I think about the Lord
How He saved me...How He raised me
How He filled me with the Holy Ghost
How He healed me to the uttermost

When I Think about the Lord
How He picked me up and turned me around
How He placed my feet on solid ground

It makes me wanna shout
Hallelujah...thank you JESUS
Lord, you're worthy of all the glory
And all the honor and all the praise

It makes me wanna shout...!!

I love this song...I cry every time I hear it!

I remember a time when I could not tell the Lord that I loved him...I wasn't sure if I really meant it, so I never said it. I'll never forget the day that I was able to tell Him that I loved Him and really, really meant it.

Why wouldn't I love Him, when he loves someone like me!

How can you not love someone who is ever true and never reneges on a promise?
