Back and forth

The ground got harder and harder

Harder and harder

A dump truck dumped river rock.

An oil truck sprayed tar.

The construction workers smiled in their sleep.

Light-bulb Moment

I Have –

What a billion people want.

A circle of friends – close enough that we sit and laugh one moment and the next share hard stuff with tears washing our faces!

 

I Have –

What a trillion people madly pursue every day.

Peace. An incredible gift that can’t be bought or earned or achieved – only accepted.

 

I Have –

What everyone on this broken planet needs—a heart washed by the blood of Jesus. Redeemed from Satan’s grip.

 

I Have –

What all mankind hopes is true.

The promise of life – forever.

 

Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
