Hey!!
I wanted to share something that happened to me this morning. I was driving home from some errands and passed the big catholic church on Hanford Rd around 12:30 while people were slowing walking into it, funneling through the doors. A new CD had just started and dad’s song, “My Redeemer”* was playing and as I looked at the sight, the words played, “…you gave your life up on a tree, you’re my Redeemer…”! Whew. Something in me broke down and I cried and cried and spoke in tongues the whole way home, I couldn’t even say the words, “thank you, Jesus”, it wasn’t enough.
It was a continuation of the feelings from the tract my family and I read this morning, “The Sacrifice of Christ”, and how it was much more than just dying on the cross! There was much more and just to know anything else beyond that was so humbling and overwhelming. I just couldn’t contain my sadness for those people, and for Jesus, as well as the thankfulness I felt in my heart for what Jesus has done for me, and the world. When I thought back to the tract we read, even the vocabulary that Timothy pulled out brought feelings of thankfulness and love for Jesus. The words were, prepare, sacrifice, necessity, and accept.
I was almost home and needed to make lunch for my family but I wanted to go somewhere and share the feelings with people! It was too sweet. When I pulled in the driveway, Damien and Kay’s car was there 🙂 Jesus sure is sweet and good to me!
