T O D A Y 

Jesus may come in the 

morning;

Jesus may come at 

noon; 

Jesus may come 

in the Evening 

So keep your heart

in tune.

John 14. 1 - 3 

1. Let not your heart 

be troubled: ye believe 

in God, believe also

in me.

2. In my father's house 

there are many mansions: 

if it were not so. 

I would have told you.

I go to prepare a place

for you.

3. And if I go to prepare

a place for you, I will

come again,

and receive you

unto myself, 

that where I am, 

there you may be also.

           

Jesus had just 

left from the upper

room where he

had Passover 

in which he 

declared

while taking the 

cup, 

Matthew 26.27,28

And he took the cup,

and gave thanks,

and gave to them,

saying,

Drink ye all of it;

28. For this

is my blood 

of the new testament,

which is shed

for many 

for the remission

of sins.

A testament 

only becomes effective

when the person

making out a 

last will

and

testament

is dead. 

Until he is 

dead, the 

will does

not go into effect.

So too, here,

Jesus is saying

He was going to die

for the "remission

of many" 

It was not the 

first time Jesus said this.

Several times 

he told them.

Matthew 20.v 17

And Jesus going up

to Jerusalem 

took the twelve 

disciples apart 

in the way and 

said unto them,

"Behold, 

we go up to 

Jerusalem, 

and the Son of man

shall be betrayed 

unto the chief priests,

and unto the scribes,

and they shall

condemn

him to death,

v.19 And shall

deliver him up 

to the Gentiles, 

to mock,

and to scourge, 

and to crucify him;

and the third

day 

he shall rise again"

Jesus was telling 

them what would 

happen,

but that 

he would 

rise on the third day.

And now,

leaving the room where

He had taken the 

cup and the bread

showing them 

they were 

to remember him

and what he did 

each time they 

took the Lord's cup 

and ate of the bread.

Not wanting 

him to die,

they did not 

understand what

He was saying 

but they did 

know that 

He was going 

to die.

Now here on the

path to 

the Garden where 

he prayed 

before he was 

taken 

He is telling 

them 

I AM GOING AWAY

BUT 

I WILL COME

AND TAKE 

YOU WHERE 

I AM ALSO

So you see, 

It all fit together 

when He rose from

the dead.

They knew 

He was coming 

back ! 

to take ! them home!

We have a hope 

that cannot 

be taken 

from us.

The apostle Paul

wrote the believers

in Rome, saying, 

1.v 1  Paul, an

apostle of Jesus Christ,

called to be an apostle,

separated unto the 

gospel of God, 

which he promised

afore to his prophets

in the holy scriptures,

concerning 

his Son Jesus Christ

our Lord, which was

made of the seed 

of David according

to the flesh; 

4. and declared

to be the son of

God with power, 

according to the spirit

of holiness, 

by the

resurrection

from 

the dead.

JESUS 

may come

today

glad day! 

glad day! 

and I shall see

my friend,

Troubles 

and trials

shall end;

Jesus may 

come today ! 

It may be morning

It may be noon,

It may be 

evening,

It may be soon!

I will live 

today 

Come what may

In the light 

of His Soon

Coming !

I will ready be

His face I soon

shall see!

What glory that

will be!

When I see Jesus!

Won't you 

come with me?

Won't you

ready be?

He calls for 

you 

to come 

with me!  

Jesus said, 

John 7.37

If any man thirst,

let him come 

unto me, 

and drink,

v.38. He 

that believeth on me.

as the scripture

hath said, 

Out of his belly

shall come 

rivers of 

living water.

Galatians 3.13

Christ hath redeemed

us from the 

curse

of the law,

being made

a curse for us,

for it is 

written,

cursed is every 

one that hangeth

on a tree.

v. 14

that the blessing of

Abraham 

might come 

on the Gentiles

through 

Jesus Christ;

that we 

might receive

the promise

of the Spirit

through

faith.

Romans 10.17

Faith 

cometh by hearing

and 

hearing

by the 

word of God.

ON MOTHER'S DAY 

                                                                      LILACLADY JUNEBUG2

                                                    

Here I was five years old with my

dear Grandma 

   My Mother and my Grandmother

were special to me

because they 

shared strong devotion

in helping grow up.

I thought Mother the most 

beautiful woman 

 in the world.  

Blue eyes 

Red hair 

while I had brown eyes
like grandfather.

Boston Baked Beans

said Grandfather of me.  

At Grandma's house

here I am with Mom and Dad.

                                  GROWING UP A WOMAN

What was it like for you 

my friend, to grow up 

a woman ?   

 FOR ME IT WAS MANY THINGS. 

                                       1.   When I was born, my MOTHER w a n t e d me.

                                                She was not married to my father, but he loved her.

                                                  She knew I was on the way !   And though I was 

                                                    in her womb, I knew SHE LOVED ME.  

                                                     Dad married her before I was born.

                                                                  

                                       2.    When  a child is W A N T E D  that baby 

                                                knows  and understands, although limited.

                                                                    Babies can F E E L  

                                                                   their Mother's heart cry.

                                            3.   As I was born, I remember the hospital and 

                                                          yes, I knew I was with a doctor IN A VERY 

                                                             COLD ROOM and he brought me to my 

                                                             Mother.     As she took me to herself I FELT 

                                                               HER LOVE FOR ME.  No words were 

                                                                spoken.   

                                            4.  I remember next that she was in a room, and 

                      i was gently laid on her bosom.  Oh I felt

                   the closeness with my Mother.   When Mother

              took me home with her, I then

                                                           gently laid in a  D R A W E R  for a bed. 

                                                             Blankets around me I remember a blue one 

                                                             with silk lining on it.    Though Mother fed me 

                                                                by bottles,  I still felt her closeness as she 

                                                                held me tenderly and spoke loving words 

                                                                                          I felt warm. 

                                                         5.  When Mother went to bed,  she argued that she

                                                               wanted the baby to sleep in the bed with them.

                                                                  Daddy said no.    She had to sleep in the "bed" 

                                                                   Mother made in the Drawer.     I had 

                                                                   a sense of "where is she" and finally figured

                                                                   out she was on the opposite side of Daddy 

                                                                   Where I had been snuggled to her in bed 

                                                                     now I was "in bed"  on the other side of 

                                                                     the room. 

                               

                                                            Alright.  That was How I Started to 

                                                                    know my Mother. 

                                       

Things that Grew My Love 

1.   She talked to me.  I listened.

              2. She always showed care and tenderness. 

Never, ever, was she cross at me.

3. Somehow, though we had little,

               she always made me feel like a princess. 

How special I was.  

         4.  Because she felt God had given her

this baby, she loved me 

and did all

that a Mother

does in 

raising her 

child.

one day 

when I was playing mudpies

and making patty cakes

 with dirt and water

and a little bench.

She sat there watching me, I

was almost three.

A friend wanted to play, so

I asked her.

She said "you can go"

Soon I was back.

She asked me why? 

I said, 

"They wanted me to

play naughty 

and pull down

my pants" 

So I came home

to her.

I trusted her wisdom.

She told me many 

things 

Never do I hear

Parents talking to 

their child like my 

mother did for me.

She always 

knew 

I was going 

to be some one special.

And so she did her 

best to make it 

happen.

God was not a part of her 

life, but I knew 

that Someone was 

helping her.  

She had a childlike faith

that sometimes 

was beyond 

words.

One day she told me, 

as I approached my fourth 

birth day,  "June, when you 

grow up, and find out 

who GOD IS, and you 

believe, I want you to tell 

me and help me to 

know God too"  

THAT ? ! was a 

task that 

I never forgot.

When I grew up and

was 10 years old,

Mother worked a lot.

I was like a second Mother

to my siblings

first Harry Jr. whom we 

called "Skip" 

He was 4 years younger.

and 

then, Diane Emily

who was 8 years

younger than i.  

So we spent a lot of time

together

And always,

when Mother 

came home from work

she would spend

time talking with

me.

Here I was ten years old. 

At this time, Skip was 6 while

Diane was 2.  

Well.    Let me say that when I grew up

I did tell my Mother about what I found out.

I remember when I was 1l  I went to 

Brownies club meeting 

at the Episcopal Church in town.

I learned the Ten Commandments 

and that is how I got my "wings" for 

Girl Scouts.

Although I never did 

go to Girl Scouts, it had a 

big impact on my life.

For I knew 

the 10 Commandments

and I knew 

that I was a sinner

lost 

and 

needing a Savior.

Well we moved a lot.

I had moved back to North

Adams, MA and I went

to 4th grade in

the school there.

As we got ready for classes 

one morning, the 

Home room teacher 

said,

We have a man here

who wants to know 

if any one wants a New Testament

of the Bible" 

I raised my hand for one,

and got it.   

As I went home, and 

was reading 

Yes - and I could read - 

(a lot of practice in

reading funny books 

to my little brother) 

John 3. 16 became

my verse that day.

I put my name in

the WHOSOEVER 

and I knew for sure 

really 

for sure 

that my sins were

forgiven.

and 

that I was on 

MY WAY TO HEAVEN. 

HERE I AM  1951 

A GRADUATE OF HIGH SCHOOL

In a class of 200 Seniors 

and a school with 1000 students 

in it 

there were only 

three red heads in 

the whole school

and 

two of them

were in 

my class. 

SO EVERY ONE KNEW ME 

I was persistant.

I had moved so many times that 

 I had learned to not 

say to people what 

I was thinking.

I did not always feel

that people accepted 

me. 

But I knew 

God loved me 

so I did the best I 

could. 

 

I tried hard 

at everything.

Some things I could 

not do and 

it befuddled me.

I would get 

instructions mixed up.

I was slow at reading 

comprehension 

and later learned to over 

come it, but 

it was hard 

for me to study.

I kept at it.

Somehow Somewhere

I started going to Church.

The Receptionist at the Y M C A when

I would go swimming 

on tues and thursdays

invited me 

to the church.

So I went.

I began to learn about Jesus.

I began to really 

understand more.

And when I was 12 

I got baptized.  

But as I entered my

High School years,

I did not find 

much to encourage 

me to know How To 

Conduct myself.

I went every friday 

to a DANCE.  I even helped

draw the posters for the 

occasions. 

I was known for my 

art work.  

I sang, and could sing with

the bands, solos from

time to time.

When I danced, I 

usually talked about

my church 

and my Lord.

So I did not 

get any dates. 

There were five bands in 

our class at school 

Drury High had that many musicians.

We had enough Italian kids and 

I was the ONLY one with no

parents speaking it at 

home, 

and who

was not Catholic. 

 

So I got to know a lot

of people

and wrote for 

my school paper.

I was terrible at 

Science.

And Math.

and even in English

grammar was having 

some trouble in 

understanding 

what the 

teacher 

was telling 

me. 

AND THEN I DISCOVERED

I had a Church Library

and Mom and Dad

were going to 

move again

so I chose to 

RIDE THE BUS 

TO SCHOOL

EVERY DAY

I used the time to read 

my Bible 

I took it every 

where with me.  

 

SO I APPLIED FOR COLLEGE  

1951   

I had been singing in my Church Choir 
I had begun frequenting the Church Library 
Reading Missionary Biographies
Learning about Haystack Monument 
in Williamstown MA and I visited it 
with Mother.    I was wanting to be 
a missionary.  
We had special meetings 
in our church, called 
NEW LIFE WEEK 
and for the first 
time ever  I heard 

that when Jesus 

died on the Cross

He paid ALL MY DEBT TOTALLY 

SET ME FREE 

and that 

NOTHING I HAVE DONE 

OR 

EVER WILL DO

EVER 

WILL 

PAY THAT DEBT

IT IS FREE

I knew NOW 

that I was SAVED BY GRACE THROU

FAITH 

IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD 

NOT OF WORKS

LEST ANY MAN

SHOULD BOAST.

For the very first time

I realized that I could not 

take any credit for 

any thing 

only that 

God in His Mercy Loved Me 

and 

I owe Him my whole Life 

to serve Him.

That was in 1950.  

I graduated in 1951. 

I left for College in September 1951

SO THAT WAS WHAT I 

DID.  

And that is another story 

on my blog!
