I took Carmen and the girls, Bethany, Rebekah, Abigail and Hosanna to the Cat’s Meow.
Our spoils:
A few dresses for Abigail, a shirt for me in the pink refill $5 bag.
Carmen bought three nice glass dishes.
Carmen also bought a big box full of canning jars for $2.
Before we found the box of jars we found ten canning jars on a shelf 25 cents each. I bought half and Carmen bought the other half she then gave me her half and treated me to lunch.
“The first time He came, He entered by a woman’s womb. And no one saw Him enter.
The next time He comes, ‘every eye Shall see Him!’
The first time He came as a Lamb.
The next time He is coming as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
The first time He came to redeem.
The next time He is coming to reign.
The first time He came to die.
The next time He is going to raise the dead!
The first time men asked, ‘Where is He that is born king of the Jews?’
The next time He is coming as the King of kings!
The first time He got a crown of thorns.
The next time He will get a crown of glory and of gold (Rev. 14:14).
The first time He came in poverty, to a stable.
The next time He is coming in power.
The first time He had an escort of angels.
The next time ‘He cometh with ten thousand of his saints.’
The first time He came in meekness.
The next time He is coming in majesty!”
-Leonard Ravenhill in “America is too young to die”, pg. 60-61.
