Monday Memories
Yesterday I went to church for the first time in about 8 months. It was a stuggle, hit with a migraine and my husband didn't want to go. My car wouldn't start and had to take my husband's. The service was beautiful and we had communion. After communion The Lord really touched my heart.
It bought me back to when I first became a born-again christian in1979. When every thing was crisp and new to me. When you first are on fire for the Lord and he his your first love. When you can't wait to tell people about Jesus and what he has done for you. About the little mircles in your life. How much you have changed in your heart. You stop hating, swearing and smoking. You have a new zest for life.
When you see an old friend you haven't seen for a long time and you say you're sorry for something and they say "Boy, is this Gail I'm talking to. The girl who never says shes sorry."
That girl is a christian now. She is an old hippie drug buddy of mine who now serves The Lord.
Somewhere I lost my first love and yesterday I feel that I am starting to get it back. I know it is going to be a stuggle, but I can do all things in Christ who strenghens me.

Good day Gail! Nice posting! I haven't been a Christian for as long as you but somehow in the past year I lost my fire for the Lord! I have been working on that and things to appear to be getting better. Your one step ahead of me you go to church. I haven't been able to make that happen yet! Great memory! Mine is up. Have a great Monday and a wonderful week!
Hi and thanks for your comment.
I've known that quote for a while but had to look it up make sure I got it right.
Dawn Marie and I have been online buddies for a while now.
I forgot to mention I grew up fairly close to Ithaca (in the Mohawk Valley/Adirondack Mountain area).
Does Laura go to Cornell? Beautiful setting.
