Jesus Loves Me

Jesus Loves Me This I Know I learned in summer Bible Camp many years ago...82 to be exact. It has stuck with me through all those years. Now my church has had many sermons on "God's Love" This brought back memories of my experience in summer bible camp and the song, Jesus Loves Me. It also brings back the memory of a story from Atlanta, Georgia where a pastor was honoring a retired 92-year-old pastor.

The pastor welcomed the congregation as he usually does. Then he invited the 92-year-old retired pastor to
come up to the pulpit and say a few words to the congregation. The frail man slowly got up from his seat and made his way to the pulpit and paused. He stood there for at least a minute or two without saying a word.
Then he opened his mouth and started to sing: "Jesus loves me this I know for the bible tells me so. Little ones to him belong They are weak but he is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me, for the bible tells me so."

I have never forgotten the simple little song. We all need to be reminded in this troubling time.

Yes, " Jesus Loves me this I know for the bible tells me so."
