John 1:11-12 

He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 

When Jesus came to the Jews, He was not received by them.

And because of this rejection, all He could do was condemn.

But when Jesus is received, eternal life to them He imparts,

They become children of God, receiving cleansed, pure hearts.(RP)

Yesterday was our daughter Joy's (Joybells) one year anniversary of being in heaven.  The beautiful rose bush we got when she died has graced us with a bountiful supply of flowers.  Now there are at least 35 or 40 buds getting ready to bloom.  We have such fond memories of Shepherds who cared for her 45 years. What a great release for her when the Lord took her home.  Many of you supported and prayed for her those years.  We are grateful.  And thanks for your faithful help to us in prayer.
