ODDS & ENDS

It has been a good weekend. I had 5 of my 8 grandkids here. I always like to have them, especially the older ones, 12 & 13. They help me out alot. We got the Christmas decorations all took down and they helped me with getting some odds and ends done.

This morning my grandson, my favorite one, (by the way, he is my ONLY one!), was counting some things laying on the table. I don't know why he said this but he said the number 666. My oldest granddaughter yelled at him for saying that number. He looked at her like she was crazy. He looked at me and ask me what was wrong with that. I went on to tell him, and the 2 granddaughters, what the Bible says and how it is the mark of the beast. That in the future, people will not be able to buy or sell anything unless they have the mark, 666.

My 2 oldest granddaughters, my grandson and I sat there for about an hour talking about the Rapture of the church, the Tribulation, giving your life to the Lord and living for Jesus. It was an awesome experience to be able to talk to my grandkids about the Lord and what is going to happen, I feel, very soon.

It is so important to be ready at all times to share the gospel with those you may be around. I wasn't thinking about doing that this morning. I didn't have it planned. God just opens doors and we need to be ready. Don't be afraid and don't be ashamed. He is always right there with you and He will give you the words to say.
