Too many candles to put on a cake.........

Almost the last day of January.....where does it go.....? Yesterday I went to my first great grandchilds third birthday party in a local park. Lots of little ones there....it was very cool, a bit breezy....but more than anything a huge reminder of how time has flown away. This next month I will turn 75....SEVENTY FIVE....I say it but it's not real somethow. Inside I don't feel a bit over 30....the mirror of course speaks a whole bit better than that. People try to soften the blow by saying things like..."You don't look it." " So many people a whole lot younger than you are doing a whole lot worse." " Oh , you've got a whole lot more years ahead of you." etc.etc. The truth is ....and the Bible says the truth will make you free....well....the truth is that none of us know from one day to the next if we have any time left here on this terra firma. When I was a young kid....Iwas once REALLY....I remember some member of our family singing a little tune...it went.."I'm a Methodist, a Methodist, tis my belief ...I'm a Methodist I don't deny ...When the old grim death comes a knocking at my door...I'm a Methodist till I die. Well it mayi be a cute little ditty to sing....but it takes more than being a Methodist, a Baptist, a Catholic.etc. etc. Yep...It takes a loving Father God, sending His precious Son, Jeshua , to live a spotless life before us, and die a cruel death, shedding His sinless blood to cover our sin....Methodist????Penecostal???....No other name I know....NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS. What can wash away my sin....Nothing but the blood of Jesus....what can make me whole again.....NOTHING but the blood of Jesus.. Oh precious is the flow , that washes white as snow...no other fount I know ,....NOTHING>>>>NADA.....NIL......BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS. Praise the Lord that He made the way for us to sing....When the old grim death comes a knocking at my door.....I'm a born again, blood washed, spirit filled child of God. So even though 75 takes my breath away to say it at times.......what is 75 with the promise of Jesus in John that He is preparing a place for me , that where He is , there I may be also. 75 plus a zillion, million , trillion , billion who knows......takes our breath away doesn't it?
