Scout gave this talk in church today….

“We went to Lake Powell a few years ago.  It was our family, some of my cousins were there, and even My Nonnie went. And she hates the heat and the sun.  We had an awesome time.

One afternoon, my aunt and uncle took my Nonnie into the harbor to get some gas in our boat and pick up some snacks.  When they were there, my Nonnie tried to step off the boat to the dock.  But when she stepped, there was a wave that knocked the boat and made her step into the water and fall in!

When she fell in, she got trapped under the water below the dock and didn’t know which way was up.  She was very confused, and said that she thought she might die.

But then came my uncle Bryan’s hand that reached out to get her and bring her to safety.

When my Nonnie tells that story, she always says that Bryan saved her life.

And he did!

Bryan saved Nonnie’s physical life!

But what about her other life – her spiritual life?

I’ll give you a hint….Navy just gave us the answer to this question….

She just said, “We have seen and do testify that the Father sent his son to be the Savior of the world.?

The answer is that Jesus Christ is our Savior.

Bryan might have saved my Nonnie’s life here on Earth, but it is our Savior, Jesus Christ, who saves her spiritual life so that I get to be with her forever and ever.

I am so grateful to Jesus Christ, because you better believe that Heaven just wouldn’t be complete without my Nonnie!”
