LC since Sept. 2020...
Decades ago when life was in a shambles - two young kids, employees ripping us off right and left forcing us into bankruptcy, losing home and vehicle, etc. - sitting at my desk at home (before the bank took it) asking "Oh God, woe is me, why me/us???" The Lord did not say, "why not??", which is so like God!, but instead impressed upon me the Lord indeed was with me and the question I should be asking is, "Why me? What are you trying to teach me through this, Lord?" ... From that day on, when troubles or joy comes my way, I aim to be a teachable student willing to learn life's lessons from the God who made me and loves me more than any other. I can say without doubt, for the sake of the high holy name of Almighty God, the Lord is forever faithful! It's all about perspective. I am certainly not always successful, but I try for an eternal perspective.

[JUST HOPIN' IT SHOWS]

I'm lovin' you and hopin' it shows

I never knew I would have to learn how to love, but I do

I look to Jesus and love looks back - I want to love like that

He sits me up upon His lap to let me see the world around me ~
looking out from His point of view

It's then, when feelings I've never known
come alive within my heart and I cry with compassion
and laugh with utter joy at the life spread out before me

I never want this to end!
I want to live this love until my dying breath is spent!
O, Jesus, please tell me ~ what must I do?

He pointed to all those so important in my life and then even to those I do not know and said to pass on my love in the little things I do and say and think each day, for if I don't it will surely, slowly dwindle away

So, here's to hopin' and prayin' that my love shows
for I aim to love you, with His love, each and every day
