KEEPERS By Sally I. Kennedy

How blessed the hearers and keepers of...all the words written in this book! Rev. 1:3

With strains of Auld Lang Syne ringing in the air, I was thinking of what things to change, what things to keep, and what things to get rid of in the NewYear. My husband is a keeper. He keeps things a long time. Like coats. And favorite shirts. He's not a pack rat, but he knows what he likes and he holds onto them.

One thing he, my sons and grandsons, all enjoy doing is fishing. Ben has mentioned that fishing rules have become more stringent. He has to sometimes check and see if it's a "keeper". Apparently fines are heavy for keeping a fish that is undersized, or for keeping too many over the quota for the day's catch.

Isn't that just like God with His kids? He not only loves us, He likes us. He knows what He likes, and He holds onto them. Good thing for us, there's no quota, and no limit.

Yup, God.......He' s a keeper. He knows what He likes, and keeps them a long time. Like, forever.

That is good news.
