There were several years that I attended the
Women of Faith conference in Philadelphia. It was a wonderful weekend of praise, worship and inspiration. It was also was a wonderful weekend with girl friends. I was never fortunate enough to hear Babara Johnson speak. She was one of the original group of women who started these conference. By the time I heard of the gatherings she had already had to drop out of active participation due to health issues. I have however read several of her books. She is a very humorous writer. Her life has not been an easy one. There were many disappointments and tragedies in it, but she never gave up her humor or her her faith in a God who loved her beyond measure. Probably more important than the humor in her writing is her inspiration.
My devotional reading this morning contained a quote from her. One that I am placing here so I can come back and find it when I need a reminder.
If you can forgive the person you were,
accept the person you are, and
believe in the person you will become,
you are headed for joy. So celebrate your life.
I pray with God's love, help and guidance I am headed for joy!
