This morning

This morning Windell and I had  a good time at work. It was cooler, seemed that our route went smoothly and that isn't the case always. Life is that way, we have those times when we feel good, the cake turns out well, the weather is nice, you get my drift...but then the days when we miss a paper and the phone rings and the person on the other end says" are you a carrier?"  I want to scream NO NO  NO. But I say "yes".
I remember when one day my heart was touched by the voice of God. I was seven,living in Uleta Florida. We had in those days  the 1940's, 50's ,  Vacation Bible School in the day and revival at night. Rev Paul Johnson was the speaker at night. His message  included an illustration that touched my heart forever. He took a ball and started winding twine around it while saying"  when you lie,cheat, not accept Christ as your personal Savior , Satan will wrap himself tighter and tighter around your life." All the time winding the twine around the ball, it became so big and I could feel the tightness of sin in my life. I called out to God in a childlike voice and asked for forgiveness. He answered that call . God  has been faithful to me although there has been times I know I haven't followed Him as I should, asking for forgiveness and receiving that forgiveness. 1st John 1:7..."But if we walk in the light , as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." My first bible verse memorized to my heart.
Life has not always been fair but who said it would. But God has been " the fairest of ten thousand to my soul" Amen.
