<TITLE>05. Par 17-20</TITLE>L-17 Reminds me, I got two young girls. Years ago, they were little fellows. They're... One of them's almost a young woman now, Rebekah. But she's four years older than Sarah. And then I got little Joseph. As you all know, the Lord showed me him coming six years before he come. You remember about it. And then... But these two girls, just before Joseph got here... So there's four years difference between Sarah and Rebekah. And so, they are both daddy's girls. I love my children. I think everybody does. There's something about the love of them little fellows.
And so, they'd... I had to... I was coming off of a meeting. And so, mother was... The girls waited up, but the plane never come in on time. And the little girls got sand in their eyes, of course, you know, and had to go sleep. So mother waited up till about two o'clock in the morning, and finally I come, and I was so worn.
That's the way I am now. I'm just ought to be resting. This is my eighth straight meeting. I got three more before I get any rest. And then I'm...

L-18 I was thinking when I come in that morning, I was so tired I couldn't sleep. I laid down for a little while. I went back in the living room and set down in a chair. And I was setting there come daylight. And I was listening at the birds begin to sing on the outside. And a few moments I heard some turn over down in the children's room, and it was--it was Rebekah. She'd woke up. And she remembered, daylight, daddy ought to be there. Here she come, just as hard as she could.
Well, when she crawled out, she woke up Sarah, her little sister. And Becky is kind of thin, and blond, big blue eyes; Sarah is short, dark hair, brown eyes, like her mother. So here, she woke up Sarah.

L-19 And I don't... I guess your children do too, they--we wear hand-me-downs, you know, in my house. So Sarah had on Becky's pajamas. And she had on them that had too big of feet, you know. And the poor little fellow couldn't keep up very good, coming through the house in them big rabbit feet a-flying, you know, and trying to outrun Becky to get in there first to me. But Becky beat her.
Kind of reminds me of the church that's been, you know, long, old church, been going way back, great organization, way back, and the little new organization of Pentecost.

L-20 You know, first thing it was, Becky run in and jumped up on my lap, and throwed both arms around me like that. And time little Sarah got there, them big feet dragging across the floor with Becky's pajamas on, she looked around to Sarah, and she said, "Sarah, my sister, I want you to know something." She said, "I was here first."
That's what they try to tell us, brother: they were here first.
"I was here first." And she had both arms around me. And she said, "I've got all of daddy, and there's none left for you."
Poor little Sarah, she dropped her little lip down, her little brown eyes colored up. I stuck my leg out like that, and took my finger, and motioned to her. That's all I had to do. Here she come flopping them big rabbit-feet-like, jumped up on my lap. And I took...
