A Sweet Lady - A Promise Fulfilled

I remember years ago reading this promise from Jesus: No one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life. (Mark 10.29-30)

I have never lived more than closer than 3 hours away from my immediate family since I left for Bible College in August 1976. At that time I lived a 3 day trip away. But a short time after I came across these words of Jesus. The pastor teaching the Bible Study that night told of the people he had in his life that were fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters. I have found the same in my life. I am rich with relationships of family.

One of the ladies who has treated me like a son is Sandy Mucci. What a joy to be with her and Dallas this past week! I am so thankful for their prayers for me.

God bless all the adopted moms and dads out there who fufill the words of Jesus for those who have left home for His sake and the gospel.
