A Linkletter Bound for Heaven
Posted: May 30, 2010
Grace means there is no postage due…
His house party is over
now that Art's no longer home.
He left it bound for Heaven,
but he didn't go alone.
A postman took this Letter
linked with love and stamped by grace
and delivered it to Jesus
who signed for it post-haste.
This one who made a living
from the darnedest things kids say
would die quite rich (but far too poor
to take his sins away).
What's true of Art is true of all.
We can't pay what we owe.
Our bill is paid through childlike faith.
The Bible tells me so!
* Art Linkletter died at the age of 97 on May 26, 2010. His personal faith in Christ was chronicled after an appearance on the 700 Club, which you will find in our Life Journey Stories section.
