Matthew 11:28-30<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCome to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em>The title \u201cPapa Can Fits It\u201d may appear to be a grammatical error. While that may be so, it is intentional. Let me explain. Our oldest grandson spent a lot of time with my dad. In fact he was like his shadow. Many hours Zane watched as his \u201cPapa\u201d would repair everything from cars to tangled necklace strands.<\/p>\n

To Zane the words \u201cfix\u201d and \u201cfits\u201d sounded the same so it was always \u201cfits.\u201d The bottom line as far as Zane (and the rest of us) was concerned was that Papa was a remarkable man with the unique ability to see a problem and know how to repair it.<\/p>\n

My precious Dad went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on February 14, 1982. It was his coronation day. He had repaired his last broken item. With all of his talents for fixing things that were broken, there was only one way he could \u201cfits\u201d our broken hearts. It was by his radiant testimony that Jesus was his Lord and that he was ready to meet Him.<\/p>\n

I have often wondered if those around me feel that Papa Cecil can \u201cfits\u201d it? I know I<\/span><\/em> <\/strong>can\u2019t, but I serve a Lord who can. All I need to do is point them to the One who is the Great Fixer. He can even mend broken lives.<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
