Friday's Footnote

Psalm 77:11

 I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

Good morning, and a Fabulous Friday it is!

Fifty years ago today, a young eleven-year-old girl bowed her knees at an altar, crying and repenting. And, God heard her cry, forgave her of her sins, and filled her with the Holy Ghost. That young girl was me, and today I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the years that God has kept me. It's been quite a journey, but never has Jesus left me alone.

Throughout this spiritual journey, I have seen so many good things happen. There's no way that I could ever write it all down (even if I could recall it all!). God has been so gracious to me; He has blessed me far above what I deserve.

Five decades, half of a century - what a blessed life I've experienced. I started when I was young, moving on into my teenage years, then into middle age, and now I stand on the brink of receiving Social Security benefits!! It's so hard for me to believe that all these years have come and gone, and yet, I'm still here! Jesus has been holding my hand for well over three-fourths of my life; and He has no intention of letting me go now that I am older; and I am committed to live for Him until He calls me home!

Thank you for reading this blog post, and rejoicing with me over my spiritual Jubilee year!! This chorus is on my mind today. I am truly thankful for all the years Jesus and I have been a team!!

I thank You, I thank You

For all You've done and all that You will do

You're faithful

I'm grateful

Lord, I thank You

Rejoice in your own spiritual experience today. There is no walk like the Christian walk; no life like living for Jesus. Here's another part of a song that has come to my mind:

I don't regret a mile I've traveled for the Lord

I don't regret a time I trusted in His Word

I've seen the years go by

Many days without a song

But I don't regret a mile I've traveled for the Lord

Until tomorrow, Lord willing..............

Friday's footnote: It's truly a good life living for the Lord!! I'm a witness!
