"The Old Family Bible"
Oh Yes.....how I remember the family Bible, and
how as a child, I spent many hours looking at all
of the bright colored pictures that seemed so huge
at the time.
I remember seeing the picture of {this man} with
his arms opened wide and a crown of thorns that
seemed to be causing huge drops of blood to drip
down his face.
At such a young age, it was very hard for me to
understand, what this picture was really all about.
I can also recall, how our mother would explain
to us about {this man} named ......"Jesus".....who
loved us so very much.
Over the years, "The Old Family Bible" has
become tattered and worn, but the wisdom and
knowledge learned from those colorful pictures,
remain precious in my heart today......
way back on Calvary;
the blood that gives me strength
from day to day,
it will never lose its power.
it flows to the lowest valley;
the blood that gives me strength
from day to day,
it will never lose its power.
It soothes my doubts and calms my fears,
and it dries all my tears;
the blood that gives me strength
from day to day,
it will never lose its power.
It's "Good Friday" and I am so thankful for
the precious Blessings that fill my life today....
Thank you Lord!
Happy Easter to each of you......
