FAVORITE BIBLE PASSAGE
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
My Story: Into the Future
WHEN MY KIDS WERE little and I was heading out to work on the farm, I’d climb into my tractor, and I’d often take my kids right along with me. Just by watching me they would learn which knob did what, how the equipment worked, where to plow and when to harvest. I believe children learn how to be followers of God the same way. They watch their parents and other adults, and they pick up how to live, what it means to have faith, and what it looks like to trust in God.
​
Future generations are precious, and time is short. The kids depend on us to be role models and to share Jesus with them because the enemy is really working through society right now to lead our kids astray. I’ve had several major surgeries and a stroke, but I don’t have time to rest. I want to be helping people and telling them about Jesus every chance I get.
​
Over my short 59 years of life, God has blessed me with family, friends, community, state, and nation! It gives me great joy and honor to give the one and only God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit all my total praise, faith, thanksgiving, and prayer for his glory. There is only one way to the Father and that is through and with Jesus Christ, our Savior, Redeemer, Lord, Helper, and Friend. Jesus Christ gave it all on the cross for me and you; why, then, would I not want to give my all to him? I owe my life to Jesus. Thank you, Jesus! Amen!
​
The gift of eternal life is the greatest gift anyone can give—the best gift of all. My assignment is to tell you that the Ultimate Gift is Jesus Christ. He gives to all the gift of life, which is himself, but it is up to you to receive him as your personal Savior; it is your choice only. I pray that you will make the right choice and accept him as your Savior. I guarantee we will all be satisfied with the outcome. This is my message, and I pray you will accept.
​
With all my love, always and forever,
Leonard
