Still Thinking......

A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble. Charles Spurgeon









God's name is written on our hearts as soon as we accept Him. And in His word, God instructs us to share the gospel with others, so in essence, we are to touch the lives of people and as Mr. Spurgeon says so wonderfully, "carve your name on hearts not marble." So when we "carve" our names on others hearts, we are in essence carving God's name instead of our own. And just because our character touched someone elses life, shows how much God touched our own and how much He cares for us and others too. Just like this song sung by Janet Paschal (as part of a Gaither Homecoming show) says:

VERSE 1
In letters of crimson God wrote His love
On a hillside so long, long ago
For you and for me Jesus died
And love’s greatest story was told
CHORUS
I love you, I love you
That’s what Calvary said
I love you, I love you
I love you written in red
VERSE 2
Down through the ages God wrote His love
With the same hands that suffered and bleed
Giving all that He had to give
A message so easily read
CHORUS
I love you, I love you
That’s what Calvary said
I love you…
Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount’n I know
Nothin but the blood of Jesus
CHORUS
I love you, I love you
That’s what Calvary said
I love you, I love you
I love you written in red

NOTE: This post is a joint effort.....Chelsey and I have been talking about my previous post, and these are some of the things that came out of those conversations. Chelsey has put together the majority of this post as we talked and picked out pictures and songs and stuff like that! She is a pretty amazing daughter........I am very blessed!
