The Lord loves me and saved me




The Lord loves me and saved me.
    The Lord loves thee and will save thee.
Just follow His ways today
    And He will not let you stray.
This is really no mystery
  Just rely on God’s wonderful History

        Jim’s study notes on Ephesians 2 reveals his heart, knowing that he was saved through the shedding of Christ’s blood on the cross. He notes that Christ has created us to represent Him in this world.  We are made alive in Christ, that through His Grace we are saved. We have been created in Christ to do good works.


“ Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.               Ephesians 2:19-22

Building the hangar was another family adventure. Jim and the boys~ they would always be his "boys" ~ Kevin and Ryan, along with two of our Grandson’s, Zack and Erik, our son-in-law, Ray and  friends, including Michael and Dave, got together to build the hangar for the air plane. They had to have a plan and a foundation to build on. So it is with our lives, we need to work together as one in Christ, Who is our cornerstone.

In My Own Journey I want to be more aware of Christ giving His life for me.  “The Lord loves me and saved me.”  I want to strive to do good works and to walk in His ways. I am thankful that my Lord is always near to guide me each step along the way.                                         Danna Thomas
