Have a Blessed, Peaceful, Loving, Stress-free Christmas

December 21. 2018

Well, it is officially Winter and although it is cool, it is nothing like Maryland winters, thank God!  I haven't been to the pool for 3 days because it has been rainy and thunderstorming.  Also a lot has happened since I last blogged.  I can't tell you everything, but I do want to wish you a wonderful, heartfelt Christmas with those you love.  I will be with my newly adopted Church family on Sunday and during the time between  Christmas and New Year, I will be visiting my friends from Maryland.

Wow, Christmas already and life is so wonderful!   I praise God for sending Jesus, birthed in a lowly, dirty, animal barn, so all of us, no matter how low we think we are, we can have full, personal, access, to the King of Kings and His saving , abundant and wonderful power!  If the King of Kings had been born in a ritsy castle,  some of us would not have access to Him. We don't deserve such a wonderful gift, thank God we don't get what we deserve!
God loved the world so much, that he gave Jesus, His Son,  (the only one) to die a horrible death, just so we could be reconciled back to God  in a personal relationship.  Jesus is God's gift to us, really, the only one we need.  It doesn't make logical sense, and if you are looking for logic, you won't find Jesus.  God is Spirit, He is real, Jesus is Spirit that became flesh and grew up in this world so we are without excuse.  We are spiritual beings, we just happen to live temporarily, in a body,  which, when our spirit leaves, it dies and recycles back to dirt,  We are not dirt, only our bodies, so we don't die.  Our spirit goes somewhere, we get to choose, (thank God He gave us free will to choose) Life everlasting with Him or torment everlasting in hell with the devil.  We have been given the gift of Jesus, it is our choice to receive the gift or choose everlasting hell!
Jesus is the only way to everlasting life.  Even if you have been a "good" person and are "alright" in your own eyes,  Jesus is still the only way.  We didn't make the rules!

The greatest gift that I could give you at Christmas (or any other time) is the gift of Life through Jesus Christ!  He is the answer to any problem I have ever had.  I spent too much of this brief life that  I have in this body, abusing it (the only place  I have, for God to live in me).  I also spent too much of my life consumed with me, my stuff and "mine".   His plan for me, is to share the wonderful truth about Jesus to everyone I meet so they can have eternal life with Him too.

I encourage you, if you know Jesus personally, don't allow the adversary to make you ashamed to share the Prince of Peace you know.  If you don't know Him personally,  He is very near, and just wants to be invited into your heart.  Won't you ask Him in today?  You will never regret it!!  It will be the best Christmas ever had and you will never forget it!  I love you all and I hope I can tell you soon about all the excitement and wonderful moving of the Holy Spirit.  I wish you Jesus for Christmas!!!

A wonderful day of surprises!

December 5, 2018

Wow, it has been cool here and I didn't go to the pool today, but not because of the weather.  I will tell you about that later.

First, let be tell you about Sunday.  I watched FTHCM.org (My Church in Maryland) until time to go to the Church here in the park at 11;30 AM.  When I arrived I was there a little early and I talked to  Pastor Cole and he had a twinkle in his eye.  He told me he new a friend of mine and tried to help me guess but I couldn't.  When he told me, it was the friend I had planned to visit during Christmas.  Well that was surprised enough, but then Pastor Cole told me that he was looking to come under the authority of my FTHCM church in Maryland. WHAT?!  Wow, he had no clue I was connected until his wife saw FTHCM in my blog.  We hugged and I cried!!  That is so awesome, God is so amazing!

I like this RV park and I was able to extend my stay another 8 days.  Which was really helpful.  I met and adopted some people last night at the pool and hot tub.   A couple from New Hampshire adopted me and invited me for coffee/tea this morning to their RV.  It was a beautiful 5th Wheel and it had  fireplace!  It felt really good as it was cold (50 degrees).  They are Christians and we shared so much in common.  Pat is an author and an artist.  She published a Children's book and did her own art work, it was really cute and it was about Celiac disease.  Her daughter had been ill with it for over 10 years and nearly died before it was diagnosed by a Naturopathic Doctor.  They took her off of Gluten and she was fine.

Did I tell you when my new  Grandson Mike helped my put on the wheel covers to protect the tires from the sun, he noticed a bulge in the wall of the back tire on the RV?  When I was at the hot tub I asked 3 full-timers who were there about the tire and got a wealth of information.  Did you know that the date of manufacture is written on the tire?  It is in the oval, written as 4 numbers the first two numbers are the month and the last two are the year.(tip of the day)

I checked a couple of places and finally got an estimate of $230 for a single tire, but they recommended that I get two so they would be even, since it was one of the dual wheels.  I kept checking and found out that one of my Roadside Assistance Programs (remember I had 4, now I have 3) would come to me, change the tire right here in the park, and would use my spare tire (which I had and didn't know it) to replace the tire with the bulge.  After many hours because the first tow truck got lost, then blew a hose, they sent a second tow truck that got lost in the same place and they found each other and so two tow trucks showed up at the same time and helped each other do the job.  The miracle was that the spare tire which was under the back of the RV, WAS BRAND NEW!!!!!  IT DID NOT COST ME ANYTHING!!!!!  Praise the Lord!  He takes such good care of me!  PS. I adopted one of the tow truck drivers.
So, that is why I didn't go to the pool today, it was too cold anyway.  Four of my Grandchildren came to check on me while the tow trucks were here, that was nice and comforting.

I am continually adding to my family, 221 Grandchildren and counting.  Woopee!!!
