To Our Dear Church Family,
Jesus said, I will never leave you or forsake you. Hebrews 13:5
When I was a young boy, May would mean dreaming of summer vacation. I’d think of all I would do and it felt like it would never come. Of Course it did but it was never like I thought it would be. Since there were no other kids where I lived it could be boring, and at times I was lonely. Then Blackie came into my life.
I had wanted a dog so bad and I believed God would give me one. I still remember seeing Blackie for the first time in my Grandmother’s front yard. He was just a stray but I just knew Blackie was sent from God to me. We became unsperatable. We roamed the woods seeking adventure. Blackie was the best friend a young lonely boy could have.
I’m older now and Blackie’s in heaven. When I was younger I often thought about what it would be like to be older. Well, it’s nothing like I thought it would be. I’ve had a blessed life and at this stage of my life I feel more blessed than I’ve ever been. Even though I’m surrounded by wonderful family and friends, at times I still feel lonely. Maybe your circumstance is different than mine, but I don’t doubt that some of you feel lonely at times. The same God that heard a young boy’s prayer heard mankind's prayer. Jesus is the answer to the prayers of the heart. Jesus has promised us He will never leave us or forsake us. Jesus never breaks His promises so we can count on Him in every circumstance. Put your faith, hope, and trust in Jesus and He will see you through.
In Christ Alone
