But when the fullness of the time came,
God sent forth His Son,
born of a woman, born under the Law,
so that He might redeem those who were under the Law,
that we might receive the adoption as sons.
Because you are sons,
God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying,
"Abba! Father!"
Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son;
and if a son, then an heir through God.

We are entitled to the kingdom... we are His HEIRS.

Dang, what a touching story! It stole my heart away... clinging to that old man's spiritual wisdom... I admire him for saying the right thing at the height of his anger; at least, he got his message across..."emotional intelligence" is what he got. Thanks for "seizing the moment" and sharing it with us! (BTW, I think you should write a book).

T,
ReplyDeletethis really happened... maybe a few years back. But for some reason, it has remained in my 10K memory.
.... and ha, ha, ha, are you being funny? If there's a book I can write, it would be for children.
Dang S.
Wouldn't it be great if people realized the presence of God when things are good? His ways are not easy to understand if we use our logic anyway.
