Saturday So Blessed

A bit of a whirlwind day as it started with Mikey mouses birthday. We were served a meal of crapes and all you can put on them breakfast. After a great breakfast and family time Diane and I were off to the ranch. Durrant duPlooy came along to help and we were able to get all the chores done and get the office and kitchen cleaned up for another week of work.

As we arrived at the ranch our friend and manager of Princess Auto was waiting at the gate he had a few more item to donate to the ranch, tooks and gloves P.T.L. and to let us know that he would like to show us a big diesel heater that he thinks the ranch can use.

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE JESUS CAME BACK

Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house. Not a creature was praying, not one in the house. Their Bibles were lain on shelves without care Believing that Jesus would never come there. The children were dressing to crawl into bed, Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head. And Mom in her rocker with baby on her lap Was watching the Late Show while I took a nap. When out of the East there arose such a clatter, I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash! When what to my wondering eyes should appear But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here. With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray I knew in a moment this must be The Day! The light of His face made me cover my head It was Jesus! Returning just like He had said. And though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself. In the Book of Life which He held in His hand Was written the name of everyone saved. He spoke not a word as He searched for my name; When He said “It’s not here” my head hung in shame. The people whose names had been written with love He gathered to take to His Father above. With those who were ready He rose without a sound While all the rest were left standing all left behind. I fell to my knees, but it was too late; I had waited too long and this sealed my fate. I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight; Oh, if only I had been ready tonight. In the words of this poem the meaning is clear; The coming of Jesus is drawing near. There’s only one life and when comes the last call We’ll find that the Bible was true after all!
