I didn't sell Avon for long. The fact of the matter is that my Avon products were stolen.
We had a dent in our car, and a couple stopped by. The guy said he could fix it right in the driveway. It sounded like a good idea.
The wife and kids asked to use our bathroom while the guy was fixing the dent. After they were gone, all of my Avon, along with other things, were missing. Another life lesson!
Hanging around with Sue and her friends gave me many life lessons. We were invited to parties where there were a lot of drugs, etc.
One night, we went to a party where all of the rooms were painted black! I was completely out of it when I went to the bathroom. I stopped to look in the mirror. I let out a terrible scream when I saw my face! I didn't even recognize myself! I looked like a demon!
All of a sudden, the words, "Jesus loves me, this I know", came to my messed-up mind. I stood there, not knowing what to think. I was having a hard time accepting that Jesus could love me, the mess I was. I'd like to say, this scared me straight, but it didn't. It would take some time.
Today, I'm thankful that I learned the sweet little song "Jesus Loves Me" many years before. It was true! Jesus did love me! He loves you, too, right in the middle of your mess.
"Write down for the coming generation what the Lord has done, so that people not yet born will praise Him." Psalm 102:18
