May 8, 2023 - Good Morning! It's Monday, May 8.
Something very special and kind of cool happened last Friday here in Center, Texas. A photograph was taken on our town square. Doesn't sound that special, you say? Well, here's some background.
On May 5, 1923, a panoramic photograph was taken on that same square. It showed a bustling town with hundreds of people, scores of Model-Ts, lots of horses, and even a team of oxen. Exactly a century later - last Friday, May 5, 2023 - that new photo was taken. Cool, right?
As we compare those two pictures, we also reflect on all that has occurred here in those 100 years. We remember all the people, all the families, all the generations. Yesterday at First Baptist Center we sang a song called "The Blessing", a song inspired by the blessing found in Numbers 6:24. (Look it up!). The song goes on to also quote Deuteronomy 7:9 - "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations, those who love Him and keep His commandments."
God's blessings to you and yours!
Meet you back here tomorrow,
Bro. David
