Has it been a while since you got an e-mail from Dad? That was a rhetorical question... Obviously, it has been!If you were one of the many that Dad shared e-mails with, I'm sure that's left quite a hole in your in-box. It has in mine, most definitely!
I've always been so good about keeping my in-box cleaned up. You know... A place for everything and everything in its place. As a result of that behavior, I have no e-mails from Dad other than some saved ones from way back in June.
My sister on the other hand, isn't quite so quick at clearing hers out (thank Goodness) so she has a few saved. Following (if you've rec'd it previously, read it again) is a copy of the most recent one she received... sent at 8:04 PM on 7/15/06.
The subject seems so appropriate. Dad always worked & prayed hard for others and their relationships with JesUs! The last e-mail he shared w/TL was no different.
The U in JesUs!
Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God even stuck U in the name of His Son.
And each time U pray, you'll see it's true
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.
You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.
And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.
Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?
The stones split away, the gold trumpet blew,
and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.
When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.
"Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all - Just like I love U."
So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?
It all depends now on what U will do,
He'd like them to know, but it all starts with U.
