Wow! What a blessed day! Today began early, 6:30 AM, by watching a Live Stream
of WWW.FTHCM.ORG, our Parent Church in Maryland. The Men just got back from the Men's Retreat
on the Mountain, which is always a powerful time. Something about the unity of 300+ Brothers
praying and singing and Praising God as they return with changed and changing
lives that is always sooooo impactful.
Bishop was tired but gave a powerful message.
I
need " A more Excellent spirit", (attitude, mind set):
When I don't have peace,
When I am filled with anxiety,
When I have strife with my Brother, or
Sister,
When I am in my own strength,
How
to change our Attitude:
1. I must accept correction!
Correction is an attribute of
Love.
AS
LONG AS I LIVE, I WILL NEED CORRECTION!
2. I must allow correction to change
me, not just correct. (like going to
Jail for correction but not be changed.)
3. Correction is an opportunity to
change my attitude before it causes
terrible consequences.
Peace
and Righteousness don't come without Humility.
I
get corrected because:
1. God knows me and (still)loves me.
2. I am His Child
CORRECTION
IS SUSPOSED TO BE PAINFUL!
I
need to receive and respect God and His correction and those He sends to
correct me. So I will have Peace.
I
got all of that while I was getting dressed to go to FTHCM of Las Vegas. I had heard from my Newly "adopted"
Grandson, that was supposed to go with me, that he had to work until 2
AM,(double
shift) and would probably not wake up in time, but definitely next Sunday.
I had just pulled up in the Church
parking lot at 9:30 AM and I got a text from Stanley that he would go to Church
with me but he didn't want to "disrespect" my husband by making
"us" late. Since my husband is
Jesus now, He told me to go get Stanley (10 minutes away). Due to Cell phone unreliability and
miscommunication, it took about an hour to get back but right on time for the
message!
Stanley had been looking for a good
Church and he definitely received from the message, and he went by himself to
introduced himself to Pastor McDuel.
After
Service I received a beautiful card from Pastor and Sis. Mc Duel. When I opened the card, blessings fell out
. God is so amazing! You can't beat God giving!
Stanley
and I spent the rest of the day, going to lunch and hanging out. He cuts hair and we did some business cards
for him to launch his "in-home" Kutz for a King business. He has an entrepreneurial attitude. It was so much fun getting better acquainted
with him. Then I took him to work
(Security at the Airport). I stopped to
get gas to fill up before turning in the rental car for tomorrow, he insisted
on paying for and pumping the gas. What
a Grandson!
Oh,
I forgot to tell you about the Art Prints.
I am parked near the dumpster and I saw 2 impressionistic pictures
(24x34") in nice frames propped against the wall near the dumpster. They were obviously too valuable for throwing
away so they were there for someone who wanted them. I waited to see if someone else wanted them
and since no one came, I got them. They
were both signed prints, one quite old and I looked up the other one, and it
was costing $195 on line. I haven't been
able to decipher
the signature yet on the older one. It had paper backing on it and is a numbered
print. I like them, and someone will get
them for Christmas.
I am still in Las Vegas, I can stay free until the 21st. It is going to get up to 63 degrees here today which should be nice. I will turn in my rental car today and will be car-less, which is OK. I went to the grocery store and got all my supplies on Saturday. I met my next door neighbor who is a Widow also and she is here all year and she has a pick-up truck. There are a lot of stores close also that I could walk to.
PS. I called my "Go-to-RV" guy Saturday and getting my heat back was a simple fix. A circuit-breaker flipped and all I had to do was turn it all the way off and back on again. WALLA! IT WORKS!
