Things That Touch My Heart

The Lord is the one that touches our hearts. My dear sister and there sweet comments. All there blogs. I have such a special place in my heart for all my sisters. I love each one even though I have not met all of you. It is the spirit binds us together. Thank you Lord for your tender heart to each one of us.

This touched my heart and I wanted to share it with all of you. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did.

92 YEAR OLD PREACHER............

While watching a little TV on Sunday instead of going to church, I watched a Church in Atlanta honoring one of its senior ministers who had been retired many years. He was 92 at that time and I wondered why the Church even bothered to ask the old gentleman to preach at that age. After a warm welcome, introduction of this speaker, and as the applause quieted down he rose from his high back chair and walked slowly, with great effort and a sliding gait to the podium. Without a note or written paper of any kind he placed both hands on the pulpit to steady himself and then quietly and slowly he began to speak.... "When I was asked to come here today and talk to you, your minister asked me to tell you what was the greatest lesson ever learned in my 5o odd years of preaching. I thought about it for a few days and boiled it down to just one thing that made the most difference in my life and sustained me through all my trials. The one thing that I could always rely on when tears and heartbreak and pain and fear and sorrow paralyzed me... the only thing that would comfort was this verse........

"Jesus loves me this I know.

For the Bible tells me so.

Little ones to Him belong,

we are weak but He is strong.....

Yes, Jesus loves me...

The Bible

tells me so."

When he finished, the church was quiet. You actually could hear his foot steps as he shuffled back to his chair. I don't believe I will ever forget it. A preacher once stated, "I always noticed that it was the adults who chose the children's hymn 'Jesus Loves Me' (for the children of course) during a hymn sing, and it was the adults who sang the loudest because I could see they knew it the best."

"Senior version of Jesus Loves Me"

Here is a new version just for us who have white hair or no hair at all. For us over middle age (or even those almost there) and all you others check out this newest version of Jesus Loves Me.

JESUS LOVES ME

Jesus loves me, this I know,

Though my hair is white as snow

Though my sight is growing dim,

Still He bids me trust in Him.

(CHORUS)

YES, JESUS LOVES ME.. YES, JESUS LOVES ME..

YES, JESUS LOVES ME FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.

Though my steps are oh, so slow,

With my hand in His I'll go

On through life, let come what may,

He'll be there to lead the way.

(CHORUS)

When the nights are dark and long,

In my heart He puts a song.

Telling me in words so clear,

"Have no fear, for I am near."

(CHORUS)

When my work on earth is done,

And life's victories have been won.

He will take me home above,

Then I'll understand His love

(CHORUS)

I love Jesus, does He know?

Have I ever told Him so?

Jesus loves to hear me say,

That I love Him every day.

The Sweet Things The Lord Does For Us.

I have been in a trial. On the way to work the Lord wanted to comfort me. This song came on the radio. It said that the devil wants to try us as wheat in the wind, But when the Lord goes to the Father and prays for us the devil does not stand a chance and things will change. Tears ran down my face. The Lord touched my heart and told me that He was right there and He knew all about me. The next song was How Great Though Art. I am so thankful I don't walk in this life alone. The Lord is an ever present guest in my life. He is my best friend.

A few days before that I was going to meet my husband and my heart was very heavy. This was a big place and I did not know where he had parked. I prayed and asked the Lord to show me and would He please let me park next to his car. I found his car right a way and as I was approaching it a car was pulling out right next to his car. Not one space over but right next to his car. The Lord filled my heart and told me again that He was right there and things would be all right. I knew no matter what happened in my trial it would be OK because the Lord was right there and He would take care of every thing. God had great mercy and I am doing much better. I love when the Lord uses someone to say some thing to us and it encourages us and comforts us and they don't know what is going on in our lives. The Lord does and He knows just what we need to hear. He is so good to us in so many ways. Thank you Lord for your tender hand of mercy.

I have a new job. I had been praying for a long time that Lord would open a door for me. Then one day I was driving and turned on the radio to the Christian station and someone was talking about Visiting Angels. My heart was touched and I wanted to work for them. The funny thing is I did not know what they did. I just knew in my heart that is where the Lord wanted me to work.So when I got home I tried to look them up on the computer. It took me two days to find them. Only after I prayed did I find them. I have a wonderful boss. I am a caregiver. For those that don't know what that is. I go in and make meals for the elderly. I also clean for them. I run errors too. I prayed that the Lord would bring me clients that He wanted me to care for. I have this couple that I clean for. When I first met them she started to cry and said that she knew that the Lord sent me to them. They are so sweet. I love my job. I am so thankful for it.
