THE STORY OF ISAAC WATTS

As we approach the Christmas season we undoubtedly will hear the song "Joy to the World" in our shopping tortures and on the radio.  Who wrote this wonderful song?  His name was Issac Watts.  He wasn't much to look at, in fact he had a crook nose about two sizes larger than his face.  He never married, but one woman fell in love with him after reading his poetry.  However, after seeing him she felt it was the will of God only to be friends.  He was a genius.  He learned latin at age four.  Eventually he read Greek, Hebrew and French.  He wrote more than 600 hymns and the greatest compliment to him is that his songs are still sung today.  After some 10 generations we still sing his songs every Christmas.  

     The great thing about the Kingdom of God is that your appearance has nothing to do with your worth.  Please believe that if nature has made you plain, the grace of God can make you beautiful, valuable and remembered for decades after your death.

                                   May God bless us as we sacrifically serve Him,
