Jack’s Winning Words 8/20/21
“God is the “Goodness Glue,” the love that holds the dark and light of things together.”     I’ve read that the most powerful adhesive is Gorilla Glue, which  advertises itself as Strong enough for the toughest jobs on Planet Earth.  But, that’ nothing when compared to  Goodness Glue (Love).  When the events of life become almost impossible to bear, the love of a family member or friend “mends”. almost miraculously.  One of the Proverbs states that “A friend sticketh closer than a brother.”  When it comes to counting blessings, don’t forget to mention, Goodness Glue.  ;-)  Jack


FROM SRRD IN SBSJ:  AMEN, Jack!  How precious!!===JACK:  Do you know the song, Precious Lord?  It's a favorite of mine.  You can YouTube it.


FROM EMT SINGS IN TC:  I have had many hugs lately.  Since Rick's passing I would not have made it  without the support of my kids mostly, but church friends, neighbors and casual friends who know what you are going through. It has been so comforting and getting better. Many prayers have been said!===JACK:  What we wouldn't give for just one more hug.....BUT, that's why God has given us memories.  God bless you.


FROM THE MAD SCIENTIST:  :) that’s a fun one===JACK:  Did you ever make paste out of flour and water>


FROM SHALOM JAN:  This is "simply powerful", Jack!  It is simply put, and it is a powerful encouragement to those who need to know about the "Goodness Glue" that God's love and mercy are for us.===JACK:  Do you know the song, The Love of God?

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin
Could we with ink the ocean fil
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky
Hallelujah 3x
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song
===JAN:  I have never heard that song before -- or read the words.  Lovely!  Thanks for sharing it with me.  I sent the "Goodness Glue" item to a friend who needed to hear of it again and it is really helping in a bad time.  Thanks for that, too.===JACK:  Did you ever play the game, PASS IT ON?  In life it can be more than a game.
