Great news!


Yesterday morning Lizzie told me that while she was cleaning her room, she prayed and asked Jesus to come live in her heart. And yes, there are two great news items in that sentence - a clean room, and a clean heart. We hadn't even been talking to her much about salvation (sad that we maybe talk to her more about cleaning her room!). This came totally out of the blue. There have been times that she's talked about stuff like this before, but it's usually been a conversation prompted by us or church or Vacation Bible school or some such thing.
So it seems that in one day, God chose to answer two of my most fervent prayers - Lizzie's salvation, and yes, a clean room.
Here's a poem, totally unrelated. Hope it blesses you!
Ann

Creation
The beauty of a sunset,
The vastness of the sea,
The splendor of the mountains
Cannot compare with Thee.
The riches of the monarchs,
All armies and their might
Are poverty and impotence
When thought of in Your Light.
And yet You have revealed Yourself
In Nature, great and small;
Your holy, perfect attributes
Are represented, all.
Help me, Lord, to seek You,
And when I seek, I’ll find,
Creator in Creation -
In majesty enshrined.
