My Dad used to have a car that
looked like the one in this picture, back
when I was a child, but I thought I was
'grown'! And I also thought I knew it all!
Time had a way of showing me that
wasn't true.. :)
This picture
brought a lot of memories back to me, so I'm
sharing a few of them... Thank God for the
ending verses!
****************************
Go Back To The 50's With Me!
Ahhhh yes those were the days My friend, And
we truly did think they would never end. We
had favorite place's where we'd all hang out,
And we thought we were sooo 'cool'~ without
a doubt!
We loved the 'Malt Shop'
where the gang all met, On Saturday
afternoon's, that date was set! Then the
drive inn movie on Saturday night, Wearing
our Levi's. Our shirt collars tipped upright!
Wearing those
penny loafers was quite a treat. A brand new
shinning penny to display, was so neat. Or
maybe you preferred the black and white's
Both kind were cool, and both were 'alright'!
The food was the best too, back then, A
hamburger and a malt, didn't worry about being
thin! We had never heard of a thing called
saturated fat, And if we had a' we'd a
laughed and said, "Imagine that!"
We loved to put a
quarter in the jukebox and play, Our favorite
songs that was popular those days! For a
quarter you could 'spin' three 45's, Rock and
roll was in, and that ain't no jive!
Elvis was top's back then, and oh we loved him
so! So good looking, and the way he moved, he
was a Pro! We called him the "King" ~ and he
was to all of us, We were very mislead, and
didn't know a thing about Jesus!
Nor did we want to
know about Him back then, But even then He
was calling to us, our hearts to win. How
arrogant I was, and so foolish and vain, Not
realizing who I was following, and what I'd
gain.
I know
Jesus now, as my Lord and my "King," And I
know it's with Him I'll forever reign! He
kept me safe through those turbulent years!
He's cleansed my soul, and dried my tears.
