Marlene.
My father was French and moved to this country in 1946 at age 18 and married my mom an American women, my mom did not speak French and so I did not grow up learning French. I remember being very young and going back to my father’s homeland for vacation and on Sunday we would go to church.
The priest would always say mass in French but I did not understand a single word he said but in this church there was a life size crucifix with a life size figure representing Jesus which was nailed to it.
When the priest gave mass I would just stare at Jesus on this crucifix and Jesus and I would talk to each other. I don’t know why Jesus let me go out into the world and let me get involved in all the sinful things I did, I know now why he did but not most of my life I did not.
Now I talk to Jesus again just like I did when I was a child but now I’m a man and I realize why he let me go alone into the world but I know now he never left me alone.
He watched my every move, He knows where I been and what I have done and after all this He said to me I love you.
Yesterday is not important and tomorrow is not important but right now is important. We always live in the now, you know the present and this is where we always find God.
Marlene, have you ever notice when you tell a child something how much they trust what you say to them. This is what God wants from us, child like faith, it’s as easy as A.B.C.
God loves me.
Marlene, I hope I made some sense to you as I don’t always convey myself properly….I don’t have college degree……………..LOL ………………but I do try.
God bless you Marlene. Your friend and brother in our Lord. Richard. The trusting one.
