My Papaw

My Papaw preached for my dad at the rest home tonight. But before we started the service I asked him what his favorite verse was in the Bible. Well he said that there was just too many, but he did mention four verses. So I thought I would share them with you.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Psalm 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

In & Out of Season

A Modern Parable

Matthew 18:23-35

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. (v. 23)

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. (v. 24)

But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. (v. 25)
The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. (v. 26)

Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. (v. 27)

But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. (v. 28)

And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. (v. 29)

And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. (v. 30)

So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. (v. 31)

Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: (v. 32)

Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? (v. 33)

And his lord was wroth (angry), and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. (v. 34)

So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. (v. 35)

Vessel of Honor

Vessel Of Honor

A vessel of honor, I'm longing to be.

As clay to the potter, may I be to thee.

You may have to break down resistance at times.

But Lord, don't stop molding and shaping my life.

Shape me dear Father, please make me like you.

Mold me completely, so I can be true.

And if you have to break me, may I understand.

Your still loving and holding my life in your hand.

It would be such disservice, results would be nill.

If clay rejects the potter and seeks its own will.

It could only be cast out to the old Potter's field.

Please don't cast me out Master, put me back on your wheel.

Shape me dear Father, please make me like you.

Mold me completely, so I can be true.

And if you have to break me, may I understand.

Your still loving and holding my life in your hand.

And if you have to break me, may I understand.

Your still loving and holding my life in your hand.

OH MY!!!

My cousin told me about this crash that happened Friday. The good news is that Michael McDowell is fine and my mom said that he will be racing tomorrow.

I Forgot!!!

I am so forgetful. The other day when I posted my blog about studying the Bible. I forgot to mention the number one thing you should use when studying the Bible. And the number one thing, is that you should pray that God helps you to understand it. You may not understand it all and sometimes God may not want you to understand something until you are faced with something in your life. But in time God will show you what he wants you to understand and he might reveal something that will give you a blessing when you need one. So always remember to PRAY!!!

Also I wanted to do this yesterday and you guessed it, I forgot. I wanted to post a link to my cousin's blog. She posted a powerful video the other day and I wanted to share it. Here is the link to that blog... Babbling Balderdash.

And then another thing I forgot. I didn't mention in my studying the Bible post, that my cousin Jonathan gave me his Rainbow Study Bible and I had been wanting one. So last year he gave it to me and I really enjoy it. Thanks Jonathan!!!

Hallelujah!!!
