Flying High

A sweet little boy from our church took his flight to heaven yesterday.

At age 7 he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.

He fought the horrific battle for over a year, but today he is resting in the Arms of Jesus.

When I think of his bravery, and the bravery of his family, who stood with him every step of the way,

 I feel so small...

Thank God for His blessings to me and to all mankind.

Peace and love,

Shirley

Trust

 He has the answer to whatever problem we might have.

Have a blessed day!

Love,

Shirley

Angel

There is sad, devastating news all around,

God is still in control.

Look up!

The Lost Ones

Yesterday as I  was running some errands, 

I saw what I guess you would call a "lady of the night"
 on the side of the busy highway. 

With her hand held out, trying to flag the passing cars.

Almost no clothes on, dressed indecently.
No one stopped.

This is not a young person she has some age and weight on her.

We see her often,  walking the highway at all hours, trying to get people to stop.

 She has been caught and locked up many times. 
A lost soul!

I do not know her circumstances, whether she is a drug addict,

maybe a mentally ill person,

Or 

just chooses this lifestyle.

But

When I saw her yesterday......

It seemed the Lord spoke to me.

And...

My heart felt so sad!

 For her and all the lost ones.

 Every city, every neighborhood, every family, has them.

The drug addicts, the alcoholics, the prostitutes.

Living such sad,  wasted, desolate lives.

Searching in the wrong way for something that only the Love Of God can supply.

The ones with no hope.

Our quartet sings a song-"We Have Been So Blessed".

And by God's Grace and Mercy, my life has been blessed.

I have been surrounded by love throughout my life.

 By my parents, my husband,  my wonderful family, my friends.

And I have known The Love and Mercy Of God. 

But..

I could have been born under different circumstances,

And my life could have been a different story.
Except for the Grace of God,
I could have been a lost one.

Since I started this blog I have tried to do "up-beat" posts.

With pretty pictures.

But the Lord touched my heart with this sad story...

 And I pray that someone reading  this will stop for just a moment,

And say a prayer.

For all the lost ones.
The ones with no hope.

The ones Jesus came to save.

THERE IS HOPE!!!
A WAY OUT OF THE DARKNESS.
His Name is JESUS.

This is an old post from 2010.
But still true today.
