Most people go through their entire lives never speaking words to another human being that came out of what is the deepest in them, and most people never hear words that reach all the way into the deep place we call the soul.
We almost never hear words that stir life within us, that pour hope into those empty spaces deep inside filled only with fear and frustration.
We rarely hear words that draw our soul into the soul of another human being and, together, into GOD.

Above was a quote from Larry Crabb one of my favorite authors.
I have a niece that is graduating from High School and tradition states we give her a gift.
I'm not opposed to giving her a gift, in fact I am delighted to, but my hearts desire is to give not a cheap gift, but a gift that is symbolic of what she means to me, how I want her to have a fulfilled life in Christ and tell her all the ways I have been blessed by GOD by her life.
When I was graduating from high school all I wanted was 10 bucks for a tank of gas.
I'm sure she too is exited about that is around the corner , I guess I wanted to explain to her how I love her so much.
Don't put off today what you will regret tomorrow.

I like that quote!
ReplyDeleteTed, give her ten bucks and a poem for her.
:-)
Hey, it's quiz time. Who said this?
"Though he is a lion, he will only be a lion to your enemies, but he will be a lamb to you."
It's about Jesus, the Lion and that Lamb, of course. You got that, right? ;-)
