I have been working at the same place for almost three
decades.
Recently, I began going through some personal items as I simply
cannot keep everything.
It wasn’t easy going through years and years of memories and
deciding which to keep.
It was more difficult determining which I would take home.
It was most difficult deciding which I would have to throw
away.
While going through these memories I had quite a surprise
Among the things I found was a Christmas card.
It was from my mother and it was dated just a few months
after I started this job.
My mother passed away over a decade ago and we were extremely
close.
It was an emotional experience for me just recognizing her
handwriting.
Before signing the card, she wrote a blessing for me.
She prayed that God would keep his eye on me,
She also prayed I would do well at this job and that I would
be happy doing it.
Even though my mother departed this earth many years ago, I
once again felt her love as I read her words.
I am glad I kept this card, because both her words and her
love still stand the test of time.
That is the way it is with scripture as well.
The words God inspired men to write in the Old Testament
stand the test of time.
So do the words written about Jesus in the New Testament.
Through these words, I feel the love the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit have for me.
Through these words, I feel the love they have for others.
That makes me want to love others too.
Psalm 136:26 (NET) - Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his loyal
love endures!
John 15:9 (NET) - Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved
you; remain in my love.
1 Corinthians 12:7 (NET) - To each person the manifestation of the
Spirit is given for the benefit of all.
Love never dies.
