Topic: God things
Today we were sitting in the left turn lane at a traffic light. As rushing cars passed by us, we could feel the car rock as the great puffs of air hit the side of it.
We had just passed a few churches that had cars in the parking lots and I said, "They're all having Good Friday services." (ours is this evening) And when my mind had already gone back into neutral, watching the cars go by, Charles noted with a sigh,
"Today is the day the Lord died."
I didn't say anything, but felt a lump grow in my throat and tears welling up in my eyes, the passing cars feeling suddenly like the blows of a hammer.
It is a Good thing to remember.....because He died for me....
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above.
