When you awoke 1 this' morning, I exploded a brilliant sunrise through you window hoping to get your attention. But you didn't even notice. . Later you were walking with friends. I bathed you in warm sunshine and perfumed the air with flowers. Still you didn't notice me. So, I shouted to you in a thunderstorm and painted a beautiful rainbow. You didn't even look. Tonight I spilled moonlight on your face and sent a cool breeze to refresh you. As you slept, I watched over you and shared your thoughts, but you were unaware of my presence. I hope you will talk to me soon. When you're ready, I will be near. I love you very much. Your friend, Jesus. White Gift Service held on Sunday Dec. 14th at our church.
