HEALTHY THINGS REPRODUCE HEALTHY THINGS!

Jan 16, 2017

I did it again, skipped two days! I guess this is a pattern, to take the weekend off from blogging.  So much happens on the weekend, I spend all day Monday catching you up.

I went to the pool again on Saturday and it was a beautiful sunny day.  I have learned to appreciate the 55-60 degrees and the heated pool , especially when I hear talk at the pool, about the weather in other parts of the USA.  I don't listen to the news and so I didn't know. (So sorry, if I was ungrateful  and it won't happen again!) Smiley Face. Even though it is not what I expected, I am grateful and happy that I am in Southern California!

Sunday, after watching the www.FTHCM.org live stream at 6:30AM, I was picked up at 8:45AM by a friend and Sister in Christ, who used to go to my Church in Maryland.  I hadn't seen her for about 25 years and I had not met her wonderful husband (married 23 years).  They live about 20 minutes away and they took me to their Church.  It was a blessing, and I continue to see that God has a plan to bring unity into the Body of Christ.   We had better pay attention to what God is calling us to do in preparation for what is to come.  He will always inform His people of what is needed to be done, for what is to come, we need to heed!  For those of us who are saturated with the Word, and are satisfied with our relationship with God through Jesus, WAKE UP!  He is stirring us up to stop sitting on our contentment, and to seek and save those that are lost no matter the cost!  They are valuable, just because they have missed their behavior, doesn't discount them from their value to us and to God.  God used some "scruffy" people in the Bible to accomplish His plans, and we were pretty "scruffy" ourselves once, but are ALL valuable in His sight and for His plan.

Some nuggets I received from the 6:30 broadcast:

·        No matter how old we are, if we are breathing, we are not finished!

·        The love of God, is not really complete until you give it, just receiving and not giving God's love is like gluttony.

·        I can't allow my heart to be beguiled, (fooled, misled, deceived, misguided, enticed) by the world.

Is. 26:3

  "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee."

What I received from the Church service at: "Life International Ministries of the Temecula Valley".

·        God gives us family in the Body of Christ, they are worth the challenges and the time you go through to get along and love them.

·        The single most valuable investment is your TIME. (Who or what  are you investing your time in?  That was me.) Give your time to others who need the Jesus in you, they are worth it, you are worth it and it is worth doing for Jesus.

·        When you gave Jesus your life, you gave Him your time.

·        You discover your purpose...not determine it!

·        It is His grace, not your patience,  that causes us to stay together and shows the world that Jesus is Lord.

·        Love God with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength and He gives us the power to love others.

·        He will make us a family in the Body of Christ-and HEALTHY THINGS REPRODUCE HEALTHY THINGS.

·        Ask yourself, "Am I serving Jesus RIGHT NOW?"

The Church was Spirit filled and very loving. I met some more wonderful people.  After Church, my Sister C & Brother M took me to lunch at a place that had a brunch buffet, and a menu.  I started to go to the buffet but Brother M said he was going to order from the menu and that was a good idea.  I didn't have to tempt myself with all the choices, get just a "little" of everything that looked good, end up going back for seconds, and making some more bad choices, then eating too much and feeling miserable for two days.  So, while I was in my right mind, I ordered from the menu, an Oriental salad, (Chinese cabbage salad mix with a few pieces of grilled chicken on top, lightly "dressed").  It was great, perfectly satisfying although I did eat bread that was sitting there on the table, temping me. 

 I enjoyed the fellowship, then they took me to their house.  WOW, beautiful.  Six bedroom and tastefully decorated and furnished with a "beach" feel, white, with cobalt blue accents, beach pictures, very peaceful and breathtakingly beautiful.  They do a lot of Ministry by their hospitality, housing guests as they are led.  We had more good fellowship, between watching the Dallas/Green Bay Packards playoff game.  Green Bay won by a field goal in the last few seconds.  It was a good game. 

They brought me back to the RV and we fellow-shipped some more.  They are interested in Shaklee, so I gave them some samples to try.  She is planning to pick me up and take me to FTHCM of Pomona for Bible study on Tuesday.

It is a beautiful day, sun is shining and looks like another pool day. Woopee!
