Thank you to Carrie Dixon for sharing the picture.
The cross had been on my mind for several weeks before Easter. This has always been a special time for me to reflect on the greatest gift that anyone ever gave to me. The gift of everlasting life is something that we should celebrate every day of our life.
It always amazes me (and pleases me) when God shows Himself to me during my daily activities. One morning several days before Easter I was on the way to Hermitage. Traveling down Lebanon Road something caught my eye. I SAW A CROSS! It was in front of me and seemed to be saying "follow me". I had to step on the accelerator and fish out my phone to record this miracle before it disappeared. This is what I saw...
Do you see the cross? This small glimpse of God made me happy all day long and I will always remember this morning and this gentle reminder of His love and sacrifice. I know it is corny but that day I sang:
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
that saved a WRECK
Like me...
Now I know that is not the correct lyric to that song, but I did see a WRECKER that morning and it brought me face to face with the cross. What a great way to start any day.
BOOK REVIEW
The Reason by William Sirles
I read this book because it was
featured as a new book in the library.
Although it is Christian fiction, the miracles which occur in this book are very similar
to those we read about in the Bible.
This book contains a series of
miracles that take place in the lives of a man of God, his family and his friends.
One man (a carpenter) is always involved when the miracles happen. Folks in the town begin to wonder who he is
and how these things are happening.
From
the beginning to the very end, his message is “Only Believe.” Throughout the book you watch the changes in
people’s lives as they meet this Man and question their own belief system.
The book’s message to the
reader is to believe in the unseen and not put their faith in man or modern
medicine. This month's book review is by Debbie Irvin
Several books from our Wish List were donated during the month. They will be processed soon and added to our inventory. These additions will complete several of the Karen Kingsbury series. We still need a few more to finish the series we have started. See our Wish List on the right hand side of the page for the titles.
Thank you to Billy and Bobby Shelton for their donation during March. Thanks also for those anonymous donations made during the month.
DVD's Are Gaining Popularity
We are also seeking donations of family oriented movies on DVD. We are no longer providing VHS movies. Please limit your donations to those on DVD.
Also, summertime is fast approaching and the traveling season will begin soon. Many families enjoy listening to audio books while on the road. We have a few in the library but would also like to add more to our inventory for your enjoyment.
We will provide some suggested titles on our Wish List next month for both DVD's and Audion Books.
