Today, The First Day of the Rest of our Lives

Good morning!  Glad you decided to stop by.  I have been waiting for someone to talk to.  Do you ever have a great day and just want to share it with someone but it seems that no one is available at that exact time?  I do, therefore, this BLOG.  I can share with you what's on my mind and you can visit with me whenever it's most convenient for you.  Let's give it a try.  Anybody with me? 
Let me tell you that GOD is SO GOOD!    Did I hear an AMEN there?  Hope so, because HE IS SO GOOD!   I feel that I have so many things to share with you, my Family, that God has shared with me.   I want to attempt to share some of these things here and hope that you will add your experiences/thoughts here too!   In these "last days" we need all the instruction/encouragement that we can get.  Another AMEN here would be appropriate! 
Hebrews 3:17-18 says, "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.  We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first."
Do you remember the day that you first began to "share in Christ?"   The day that you realized this life is REAL!   That there really is GOD and one day you will meet Him and bow down before Him and give an account of everything you  have said and done in this life.  Woe is me!  This would be a terrifying thought,    if not for the Mercy and Grace of the LORD JESUS CHRIST!    Praise GOD, I do remember that on the evening of  May 29, 1990;  as I was sitting in my living room flipping through the TV channels, GOD called me.  He spoke to me through a few simple words from Rev. Billy Graham.  I remember that Rev. Graham was holding up a Bible and explaining that believing GOD requires faith.  He stated that as long as he had been reading and preaching the things of the Bible, he still did not understand all of it.  He said that he probably never would understand all of it  and that some of believing just requires Faith!  
Just 13 days earlier, on May 16th, I had lost my oldest son, Michael in death and I could not "understand" it.  Why did this happen?  Why Michael?  Why not me?  What if I could go back and change the past, could I have made a difference?  I wanted to understand, Why? 
But Rev Graham, said that we probably will never understand everything in the Bible but we still must Believe in GOD and ask JESUS to forgive us of our sins and come into our lives and SAVE us!   Well, I did just that that night!
I still don't have the answers of why I lost my Michael, but JESUS has filled the great hole that was left in my heart and HE continues to fill it, each and every day that I seek Him and allow Him to do just that.
GOD IS SO GOOD!
