Hola, long time no write. It has been a busy two weeks. Finished one class started another. Special project at work. Wife and daughter off for the summer from school, and i was blessed to help someone close to me put together a power point for his mom's memorial service. I have to say it was one of the longest services i have attended. Though i have to say it was interesting.
There was a lot of hurt, pride, tension and disconnection. There is that portion of the service where people get up and share a story or memory of the person. This was a combination of stories and therapy. Now please don't get me wrong i am not judging in no way shape or form. Sitting there i really learned a lot about myself and my family. Have you ever wonder or thought about your own families and how crazy they can be? Come on now! you know you have! LOL
This family was in such pain, all i could pray for them all. The pain again for some of them was the loss of their sister, aunt, and MOM, but i realized a lot of the pain was how they were with each other as a family. I am so proud of how the son handled himself during the whole service. He was a Rock for his wife and children as well as the rest of the family. It was an inspiration to see that amongst all the drama. I saw the power of the Lord in him come out and kick some butt! AMEN!
Anyway, what does this have to do with being burnt up and flushed? Nothing.
I do have to mention i have told my wife and daughter that if the Lord decides to take me, to cremate me and flush me down the toilet so my ashes can see the world!!!! This way they can spend the insurance money on things that matter most, new shoes and purses! LOL I am sure i will hear from them after they read this.
What is going on in our country lately? Tornadoes, Floods, Fires, etc.... You would think it is the end of the world or something? Okay i am not going there, but had to poke fun. Seriously, I was tired of hearing about what the Government was and was not doing, but did not want to see all the destruction happening out there. I have said this before, people may not believe in Global Warning, but i really think we are messing up our planet, call it whatever you want to but we are.
Ok off the soap box.
There has been so much unhappiness lately that it can be draining.
1 Timothy 6:11-12 (The Message)
11-12But you, Timothy, man of God: Run for your life from all this. Pursue a righteous life—a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith. Seize the eternal life, the life you were called to, the life you so fervently embraced in the presence of so many witnesses.
Nehemiah 8:10
Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
I read these verses and i think of the son in the story above, he could have been easily mourning his mom, but he was celebrating her life and the impact she made on his life. He was full of the Joy of the Lord.
PRAYER
I continue to lift his family up to You. I pray continued healing of hearts and mind, and souls Lord. Only You can do this! I also lift up everyone being affected by "mother nature". Lord i pray that you touch their lives and show yourself in a mighty way. I pray for provisioning that, again only you can provide.
Lord you are the Lord of lords, King of kings! YOU ROCK!
I lift up those in need of healing in any form! Lord, touch them, take away the infections and fevers. The pain in joints and muscles. Away with Depression and Diabetes!
All these things in your Precious NAME! AMEN AMEN!!!
