    No one is too good or too bad to be saved.

    ***

    Believing Christ died ...that's history;
    believing He died for me ...that's salvation!

    ***

    No matter where you go , God goes with you.

    Through all around is darkness,
    Earthly joys have flown;
    My Savior whispers His promise
    Never to leave me alone.

    Love and Warm thoughts. MJB(Marilyn)

    Faith is not belief without proof,

    but trust without reservation.

    -----------------------------------------------------------
    Happiness does not depend on how much

    you have to enjoy. But how much you

    enjoy what you have.
    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Happy Thanksgivining!!

    Hugs and God Bless,
    Cherie
