Good evening to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.
Thank you so much for understanding that my brain was not braining very well this morning. Then, after church, I had to catch up on my mowing. After that, I took a time out and then had to go to the store. So a full day indeed.
For those who did not see my Facebook Live this morning, I would like to give you the shortened version. Essentially, I gave thanks to God above for a wonderful blessing yesterday at the benefit. I gave thanks to all the sponsors for their support. I gave thanks to all who attended and supported the family in need. I wished all dads a Happy Father’s Day and then … I proclaimed just how powerful My God is. That, regardless of the detours, the pitfalls, the potholes, that the enemy tried to put in front of us, My God … prevailed. And when you place your faith in Him … completely … you see the miracles unfold right in front of your eyes. As we did yesterday. A blessed day full of His blessings.
Today has been a bit slower. A wonderful message at church. A baptism. After which, I was blessed with 3 solid hours on a mower, in the country, in the cool of mid-morning (which this time of year should be blazing … but … not today), and I beat the rain. Tomorrow will be a writing day, I believe. We have to take the truck for an oil change, and my car is still out of commission. So I will drive it down, walk home, wait for them to let us know it is done, and walk back to get it. I will get some steps tomorrow for sure. Haha.
One thing that has been reinforced with me over the last couple of months while compiling tasks for this benefit … is that when you are working for the glory of God, Satan gets really upset. Now, I knew this already, but he has really been upset with me. Friday, I was delayed in town because I forgot something for the benefit. Then, when I got home and started to unload the truck, the cargo had shifted, and BBQ sauces fell out and splattered all over my shoes and clothes. I just shook my head and said loudly, “Really”. Then, after the event, I was putting food in the freezer, one container was extremely full of beans, and when the shelf above collapsed from the weight that was on it, that pan spewed baked beans all over my boots and porch floor. I probably did say a bad word, to be fair, but then I just laughed and told my friend that I must really be under the enemy’s skin today. I am not a big baked bean fan in the first place, but I certainly did not want to wear them … twice. To make his tantrum better, today, he let me fall at the store when I picked up the ice cream. My back jarred, and my pride was embarrassed, but afterwards, I just laughed and told the gentleman who helped me up, “Don’t get old, it sucks.” He laughed because he is at least as old as me. Haha. .
For him to be giving me this much attention, I must really be annoying him. I am okay with that. That means that I am on the right path … God’s path. The more the enemy tries to derail you, the more you can be assured you are walking in the direction you are supposed to.
Tonight, give your menfolk a hearty hug for Father’s Day. In your prayers, give thanks to the One who gave you life. And remember that even in the darkness or cloudiness, there is always a glimmer of Hope and Light and Love. You just have to be open to seeing it.
Be blessed.
