LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING
Today I posted on my Facebook page
pictures from some of the exciting, splendid, moments in my life. The pictures have in common that they
show some of the people and things I love.
More than
anything, or anyone, I love God. The
Bible says, seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all
these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33). Seeking the Kingdom of God means
seeking and loving God Himself.
Over the years, I
have been blessed to enjoy the company of many wonderful people. My wife
of 35 years, Carol, grandma Ethel, my family, my friends, my neighbors,
my school mates, my associates at various jobs I have had, my school board
associates here in Perry County, around the state of Alabama, and around the
nation. I have a beautiful
church family. I deeply miss my mother, Sharon Lynn Smith, and my sister,
Ethel Marie Thomas. We recently lost Aunt Ruby and my niece, Michelle
Stokes. Last year we lost cousin Gladys Mae. We also lost Willie
Mae Cleveland, a teacher in Perry County, Alabama, who was an inspiration to so
many.
I have been
blessed to travel and see many wonderful places. God's magnificent creation is so vast,
so beautiful, so diverse.
But my greatest
experience has been to know my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This singular experience is the one
thing that anchors my soul, and gives my life meaning. It is His love, shown in His death on
the cross, and the love of God, the Father, that sustain me, and give me joy.
All Praise to our
Heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and His Son, Jesus Christ.
