Grandma's HERE!

We are so superly excited! Thankful she made it safely! Grandma is such a special lady in our lives. So blessed to have her! :) and we get her for like over three weeks!!!
from our Bible study this morning:  
"The story is told of a young boy who approached an evangelist after a revival tent meeting. 'Excuse me, Sir?' the little boy said politely. 'You said everyone should ask Jesus into their hearts, right?'
'That's right son.' The evangelist squatted down so he could look the boy in the eye. 'Did you ask Him in?'
'Well, i'd like to,' the boy said, shuffling dirt with the toe of his shoe before returning his gaze to the evangelist. 'But I got to figurin'... i'm so little and Jesus is so big- he's just gonna stick out all over!'
 
'That's the point, son,' the evangelist said with a smile. 'That's the point.'
 
I don't know about you, but I want Jesus to be so evident in my life that people don't just consider me a nice moral person, full of good works. I want my relationship with God to be so real and vital, so like that of the apostles Peter and John, that people can't help but sit up and take notice. 
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have words said of us like those Acts 4:13 records 'When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.' "
 
{taken from the book Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World.  I would highly recommend this book!}
 
blessings,  lyds
