Red October!! Go Phillies! I love postseason baseball. It is a feeling that just is euphoric. October is a special month in many ways. My Dad's birthday is October 15th. He is my angel in heaven and I love to talk to him. I was looking for something and came across a crossword puzzle book and he had completed the first 10. Neat to see his handwriting. This November 30th will be 5 years of his passing. He is with God. My beloved kitty, Pumpkin who I raised from 8 weeks old to his passing on October 18th of last year, at 21 and a half. He earned that half. He passed with my husband by his side and in his home. Just what I prayed for. October 23rd represents our first date. So we are coming up on 9 years together. Who knew when I met him in 1990 that this would ever be?! October represents breast cancer awareness month and my family has survivors throughout. My Mom being the latest but she is a-okay! Get your mammo ladies! October 22nd represents the passing of C's Mommy and my dear old friend, Carole. So for me October has significance and a deeper meaning. Just wanted to reflect. God is good and it brings me much comfort and joy to know all my loved ones mentioned are with Jesus our Lord in heaven. You always hear the "craziness" that the only way to heaven is through the Lord Jesus and acknowledging Him. Well I am here to tell you as gently but firmly as I can, it is true. Just acknowledge He died for our sins so we could have eternal life and ask Him to come into your heart and life and He will. You know its funny I have heard recently from one person I know and love dearly and another I have never met, that my blog is "deep" and my spiritual walk "intense". I rejoice because the Lord is coming through and He is touching people. I am different. I am not the same person I was before. I have known and loved and lived for God for many years. But He has transformed and changed me. I feel I am being groomed for something. Not sure what. But when I surrendered myself and my life to Him wholeheartedly this past July, something changed for sure. But don't be intimidated or scared or even "weirded" out for I am the same goofy person I always was, just a little wiser that is all ;-) Happy Saturday!
Ephesians 5:17
Amen. Love October it is fall. It is my birthday month and my anniversary to my husband. Only 3 years now. I know God does groom us and I am trying to read this book right now. It is by Charles Stanley. It says that we don't know our purpose totally. Just takes time and it could take a lifetime. I was meditating on contentment today. I am sick and the Lord is making me lie down besides the still and restful waters. I have some simularities to you. My journey started when my son was 4 years old. He's now 18. I had 11 years out of the rat race I was a stay at home mom. I loved it. I could listen to my Joyce Meyer's teaching tapes while I cleaned I had more time to study and now I'm in a season where I'm back for little bit in rat race. I hold onto it is temporary. It made me think about it the other night at bible study. Christian, Your husband was talking about it. I was watching Joyce Today and she was saying how we have to go through lean seasons to prepare us for ministry or what God is calling us for. I have to remind myself or I know it is the Holy Spirit reminding me that God is my Source. No job can take God's place. He gave me my little job a McDonalds and it is only for a season.
ReplyDeleteHallelujah I can post. I wish they had a spell check on here. I was unable for a while. I love to blog, but sometimes between taking care of my house and family and working I don't find time. I miss my best friend Jesus too. I hate I'm not feeling great. It is allergy season and my head is congested. I can do a little and then I get woosy in my head and have to sit down. I really enjoy reading your blogs. Hopefully after Philly or baseball season,(sorry don't share the love of the sports) we can get together. We are suppose to give out food on 16th. If Pastor Smith is feeling up to preaching she won't be going out. She has been invited to preach on 16th. Last year when my husband was up for it he ran food pantry. I guess I'll do it alone unless C is available? We give out food from 12:00 to 2:30 p.m. We have a mini service to start out. Let me know I'll email you my home phone number. God Bless!
