5 Little Words

Jungle Mom has challenged me with 5 words, to describe myself, so here goes:

1. Grand children What can I say. Grand children are the prize for raising your children. I have 8, 5 girls and 3 boys!

Zachary - 16 Noah - 6 Dahlia - 3

Katie - 8 Mollie - 11 Sicily - 9
Josiah - 8 Lily - 4

2. Marriage
Designed by God for the enjoyment of a man and a woman. I've been married to V for over 44 years, and I plan on being with him until death; either his or mine! LOL!

3. Missionaries: We've been privileged to have many missionaries in our family. We have also had many missionary families in our home for meals and lodging. They are always a blessing to us, and we hope we are a blessing to them.



4. Hobby: I've had many hobbies over the years. I've crocheted, knitted, painted, and I like to read.

5. Scripture: My favorite scripture is:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV

My 2nd favorite scripture is:

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
1 John 5:11-13

The 1st John passage is so near to me because I was raised in a church that basis salvation on 'works' rather than faith. When I came to the Lord, these verses became so precious to me, because I know that because of the death of my Savior, Jesus Christ, on the cross means I will never lose my salvation. I am so thankful that I, or you, do not need to 'work' for our salvation. If that is the case, none of us would ever have the assurance of Salvation.
