Now and then my Uncle Bud who lives in Tennessee and is a retired minister, emails me these emails which he receives; forwarding the ones he most enjoys. They are written by Jody Wade aka as 'The Crossmaker'. Here is one he sent to me:

"To hear the words, 'Well Done' at the end of this life, is one of the things I desire to hear the most. It's just two words, but when we place them together they mean so much! And the One who speaks them, He is our Redeemer and our greatest friend!

"But the race is not over. In this life, I have messed up so many things but I am still charging forward to the day of His return and doing what I can for Jesus. Matthew 25:21 share the words we should be yearning to hear, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant.'

"I encourage you to engage your life to the fullest with Jesus Christ. Turn your hearts to Him fully and strive to honor the Lord daily. Pray that we get to hear those same words when we see Him face to face.

"Be blessed!"
