"A Time To Celebrate"

                   A hand full of thanks to my Lord, and Savior. 3-22-202- Perryton, TX
 

An awesome hand full of beauty. They are staying pretty for a long time. They hate to make me sad when they die. This is such a lovely Sunday, in more ways than one. I talked to an Angel today without knowing that was who I was calling. I have not been this happy in a long time. Actually it was an answer to a prayer that I had forgotten about asking for. How is it that when we quit waiting for God to answer our prayers the way we think He should, He answers in His own way? I am still in shock, and almost feel uncertain. But I know this was the answer I have been waiting for. I had to make the first move, and I had wanted someone else to make the first move. That may be called stubbornness, and I had too much pride to accept that. After today, since visiting with the Angel, I feel so free to make myself heard in a place where I had felt locked out for years. I am thinking now I had locked myself out. Hallelujah to His name! I'm inside again now. Not even the corona virus can scare me now. My faith did set me free. I even feel twenty years younger. My physical strength has increased as well as my spiritual strength. The Lord may have given me more than I asked for. But I'm thankful for everything.


The friend I've been waiting all week to get here won't be here till tomorrow. I feel like this is part of the prayer I asked God to answer. He is putting everything in place, and taking away all doubt, and fear. This makes at least the second time God has answered prayer for me in a way I never expected. However, it does mean that there will still be trials to deal with. But all in all it will be a great time to be closer to God, and feel his arms around me daily. He and I will share a most precious secret, and I can rejoice evermore. Now that God has given me the key back, I will not lock myself out again. Even if the locks are changed, I still have a key. I am one excited person, and I feel like the Prodigal Son who was welcomed back home by his feather who prepared a feast for him. Except I did not leave home to spend my inheritance. I left because of lack of appreciation. Is there much difference? Both are wrong ways to show a real Christian attitude. I am here to stay now no matter how fierce the game might get. I am stronger, and will be a daily worker to keep my spiritual bones strong. I have to say with a world wide crisis such as we have now, may be the time God will answer prayers that you had forgotten about. Don't be surprised at anything, and don't lose faith in God.


God Bless
