??Malachi? ?4:5?-?6? ?NIV?? [5] “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. [6] He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.” John the Baptist how you prepared the way For the Lord to come fulfill the only way Giving up His life as a ransom In love that we might return to God Given access to a pure heart and mind That we could come to love all. That seek you Lord, united in Children of God In rememberence of who is my mother and brother. Those who seek the true living God And, everyone in knowing what all could become Just in the twinkle of a eye , The blast of a wind to sweep away old man. Oh, Lord how you knew we did not love you But you loved us that we might receive The inheritance of the living will Brought to life by your death and resurrection That we might die to this world only by your spirit To resurrect this new spiritual living body Then we shall know Lord, you are in the Father And the Father is in you, to give God all glory That through the Holy Spirit we come in unity In seeing all different races have become The Chosen people of God in your majestic ways For many are called but few responses ??John? ?11:50? ?NIV?? [50] You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”

a powerful poem, Stephan, filled with truth. The last line gave me pause, "many are called but few responses.' I appreciate having that reminder. Well done, Stephan. Have a blessed evening, Sara

All glory to God, that He sent His Son to die for us , not that we loved Him but God loved us to give us access to return, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance: )
