If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If God had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every Spring and a sunrise every morning. When you want to talk, He'll listen. He could live anywhere in the universe and He chose your heart. And that Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem?? Face it friend, He is crazy about you!!!!
