"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."
Hebrews 13:2
Years ago before cell phones, I was driving off a highway exit ramp at midnight and my car died-out on the ramp. I was alone. I quickly prayed, "Lord help me." Before I could even think to be afraid, within one minute a car pulled behind me, and then someone knocked on my driver's window. It was a woman. She said, "Honey, you can't be out here by yourself, it's too dark. Let me take you to the nearest gas station so you can call someone to come get you."
I went with her because I had just prayed for help - "Pat" was the answer to my prayer. She was so nice and spoke graciously with me, and even waited with me at the gas station until my friends picked me up. I kept thinking the whole time that Pat was an angel. I believe she was. Why would any woman get out of their car at pitch-black midnight, in the middle of an exit ramp, and come up to a stranger's car in which they had no clue who was in it. She was alone too!
Regardless if Pat was angel or not, I will never forget the kindness of "a stranger."
Be kind to others.

My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. ~Psalm 78

Yes, Jesus Loves Me!
Does God Love Us?
Yes!

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)

There is no Greater Love!
There is no Greater Love!
Hymn by William Batchelder Bradbury
Jesus loves me—this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong—
They are weak, but He is strong.
Refrain
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me—He who died
Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
Refrain
Jesus loves me—loves me still,
Though I’m very weak and ill;
From His shining throne on high
Comes to watch me where I lie.
Refrain
Jesus loves me—He will stay
Close beside me all the way,
Then His little child will take
Up to Heaven for His dear sake.

Remembering the Innocent
In memory of Leo Ramos
"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
"As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us." ~Psalm 103:12
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
~Isaiah 1:18

A SECRET PLACE
"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men."
~Psalm 139

Every human being ever created, was created in secret by God. Only the Lord knows the exact moment of our conception, the precise moment He gave life to us.
When the abortionist goes in to a woman's womb with his surgical knife, or deadly poison, to slay innocent blood, he is going in to a MOST HOLY place. God, the Creator of life, will not hold anyone guiltless who purposely takes the life of an unborn, innocent child.
Jesus, too, was innocent when he was slain for sins that he did not commit. Jesus understands that most women do not realize what they are doing when they seek an abortion because they do not want to give birth to a baby for whatever reason: being unmarried; out of due time; abandoned; homeless; living in poverty; afraid to have a baby; etc., (incest, rape, and saving the life of the mother are not addressed here).

Jesus cried out to God the Father on the cross,
"Father forgive them, they know not what they do."
Jesus freely forgives.
~Luke 23:34
The blood of Jesus Christ and the blood of ALL innocents shed from the foundation of the earth (scripture includes Abel's blood) will be required from the bloody hand's of the guilty.
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
~Isaiah 1:18
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved."
