Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.

Today looks to be a potentially soggy day again. I checked the weather on my phone and it was a muddy puddle. This brings me to my funny story for you today.

Yesterday, my husband and I had a meeting with our VA lawyer in a new town. Because of all the storms and flooding issues, the crowd was much smaller. We actually got to ask a couple of questions when we sat down with him. We did not feel rushed. As good as that was, it was not the highlight of the trip. While waiting for our turn, we met some new friends. Two of which just happened to be authors. One of which just happens to run a podcast. Hmmm. Any thoughts on why we went to ‘this’ meeting with the lawyer and not the meeting place? I wonder if Someone knew who we were going to meet.

One of these two individuals’ spouses has memory issues. The other is applying for their survivor’s benefits with the lawyer’s help. I wonder Who designed this meeting?

Since I have been retired, I have been hyper-focused on making sure that I take care of my husband and keep his medical stuff straight and on track. I have been hyper-focused on keeping our lives as smooth as possible. So hyper-focused that when my littles from across the pond arrived, I was not the fun American grandma. I was grumpy grandma. That changed yesterday.

On our way home from the lawyer, I was thinking about all this rain, the flooding, and then I thought about the muddy puddles in my yard. I decided on the way home that we were going to play in the muddy puddles. God gave them to us, why not play in them? So, when I got home, I changed into shorts, kicked off my shoes, and challenged the grandkids to a splash fest. I do not know how long we played, but we all needed showers when it was over with … and that is after washing off with the garden hose. I even got the other grandma to play in the muddy puddle. We all were muddy puddle winners.

Too often, the enemy gets grown-ups to think they have to be adults all the time. When in fact, Jesus tells us that we are to come to Him as children. In all these storms, there have been ugly skies, so dancing in the rain has not been possible … however … splashing in the muddy puddles … well now, that is an awesome stress reliever.

Today is His day. Today we are going to his house to worship him, whether in a church or a prayer closet. Today we are going to thank Him for his blessings and for the trials. Today, we give God the glory and enter His presence as children. Will you join me on the heavenly playground of muddy puddles?

Be blessed.

**And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 18:3-4

Well, I seem to always cut things close. Though at least this time I finished my sermon with PowerPoint today. The last time it was on Saturday. Two days before is better than the day before. Fortunately, I only preach a few times a year now. I am retired, supposedly.

To all my dear friends

I have been sharing on social media for many years and have been blessed by all the posts.

This year has been very traumatic. I was a writer for a well- regarded ministry, which the owner chose to close, I was then left in Limbo...what was I to do.. then my whole address book on Hotmail disappeared.. I manged to rescue some.

I have been busy though, creating a new word press website, which you can see below.

https://totallylovedbygod67.cw.center/

This has many categories, which you can see on the right of your screen.

There are no more than 12 posts in each category, there are categories for prayer and devotional categories.

Over the next few years, I am aiming to write on Psalms, Proverbs, Nehemiah, Acts, John and James ..oh yes and climb Everest.. write on Romans.

I will do one chapter at a time, so you will hopefully have a devotional commentary.. the first chapter has been completed on Acts 1.

I am retired now, I have time on my hands and this seems a good time to go full time into writing, although I still have a few students to teach English.

It is time to go full time into writing and serving the body of Christ throughout the world, please share the website and lets get the WORD OUT INTO THE WORLD.

Please take time to view the website, please share and leave a comment

Thanks so much

Keith
