When I read th...I love that Jesus loves me so much. When I read this, I thought about the story of the foot prints in the sand. And how the single footprints were not ours walking alone but His while He carried us. It really shows that you can’t base your trust or your relationship with Christ on your feeling. Because we are so easily deceived into thinking that if we don’t really feel Him, He’s not there. But He is. <br />I also really like that you said that we are engraved in His hand. It kind of blows my mind that Jesus has a real physical reminder of how much He loves us (not that he needs one). But it just makes it real. Like if you broke a bone, most people don’t ever forget that, and most of them don’t forget why or how it happened either. It makes me feel really special, but it also really humbles me. It’s like “Aw, Jesus you love me so much”, but then I become broken because of what He actually endured. And if He endured so much for me, why can’t I do the little hard things for Him, especially since I know He is with me every step of the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385864391140728850.post-60296296671153373922009-09-23T15:07:12.385-06:002009-09-23T15:07:12.385-06:00That's an interesting double-analogy, Gene!

That's really neat. I remember my dad had an Encyclopaedia Britannica set from the 1920's, which was his dad's. Unfortunately, I was too young to appreciate it at the time, and when we left Romania, it was sold.<br /><br />How sad that a lot of textbooks and reference books today are being corrupted by secular progressive thinking. As you know, we homeschool, and we keep hearing that we shouldn't trust any history books printed after the 1960s.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01028914792240238768noreply@blogger.com
