Yesterday Temp was in High 80's Into 90's ...Today Only 57 Degrees??????

Can anyone figure out this.....

 

Yesterday, and all last week we suffered HOT temps...nearly hot enough to fry eggs on sidewalks.

The evenings been so warm that we did not even want covers on bed.

 

Yet last night temperature dropped drastically & this is April 20th not January or February???

We had not this kind of cold since our last snowy winter in North Carolina.

 

Strawberry Fest was last weekend and temps were pushing towards 100 Degrees!

 

That is a drop of 50 degrees literally..where are sweaters, hats and gloves??

 

Who could have ever expected to need them till next November??

 

I believe it is a chilly day because our Lord is not pleased with the behavior of many in our lives locally here & some physical neighbors of close friends of ours abroad who I pray have not harmed one whom we love much on the other side of this earth from us.

 

Strange how many instead of receiving our love themselves & reaching out in love... in their heart they act out jealousy.

Preventing a friendship to form.

 

And so spiritual warfare & hate that has been hunting my husband & I for many years ...our entire almost 16 year marriage I grieve has fallen upon our Seminarian friends in Africa too.

 

While jealousy and hate can know no boundaries and drive a man or woman to do the strangest oddest crimes against another who only seeks to love them...

 

True Love can penetrate all sorts of hardened hearts and break down blockades of hate turning hearts of stone to flesh...

Hearts for love alone.

 

Sad scripture tels us that not all hearts will be saved with God in heaven...

For just as Judas killed himself instead of seeking forgiveness from Jesus...

Sadly some will never over come their own pride and confess their sin, receive absolution...and accept the gift of joy & salvation.

 

There are some who will always try to live in both realms at once trying to enjoy the blessings of God while never giving up the glamour of evil and sin.

 

How can anyone light a candle while savoring the darkness?

 

One either stands in the darkness or the light.

Perfect love dispels all fear....

Fear cannot ever coincide with light but darkness.

 

And only guilt brings fear...if one has never sinned or has received absolution & forgiveness of any sin he or she has ever done...

HE or she is made new and has no pain or shame...

For the Lord true reigns with in them.

 

Anyone truly in Jesus Christ places their pain & sorrows in HIM and HE carries the heavy load.

 

Those who carry great burdens of sorrow alone have not matured in their love walk with our Lord...

For they do not cast their cares upon HIM who cares for them creating the sky & stars to light the night so we can see..

 

Those who love darkness or dances with the devil indulging in sinful behaviors whether robbing a bank or stealing sneaking from a friend..

Will never have peace and joy within their own hearts.

 

Using something another steals or sneaks gives not joy but produces a guilt that in itself alone can eat away their heart.

Vengeance is MINE says the Lord...

 

Had instead of stealing or harming others out of jealousy or any kind of motivation...had instead they asked God for the same...sought HIM with all their heart....

God would have answered their prayers too.

 

God is not a respecter of one person over another...

But God is motivated through our Faithfulness of relationship with HIM!

 

Spending heart to heart time with God constantly seeking HIS Holy Face...excites our God and it is in HIS excitement HE creates MIRACLES of love, tenderness for each of us.

 

Drastically HOT yesterday....COLD today...ask yourself what kind of games am I witnessing being played and am I a part of games I should drop or opt out??

 

For the only extreme that is safe to indulge...is to immensely love from early morn till at night for sleep & rest... thy eyes you close.

 

We must be well read & versed in our Lord's Holy Word or we will not recognize a devil appearing in sheep's clothing.

So keep HIS flame burring in your heart singing HIM new songs from morning till dark..

 

And darkness will never be able to own you...sing sing sing...and your hope & joy that is HIS will light your community and like electricity pass on across your state, country and abound around the world.

 

Amen!

 

though many of these may have physical worldly luxuries and wealth...

They have not love in their hearts.

 

They

A Warning To Everyone For When You Open New Online Accounts....Humorous Consequences That Can Make For More Dangerous Circumstances If Not Caught or Corrected...

Anyone who has known my husband William and I for any length of time know that for my first 49 years of iife that I had physical tunnel vision for real!!   Yes REALLY!

 

That I only saw a small portion of any one's faces at a time, and that I was raised as a sighted child because my parents would not acknowledge my challenges for they were ashamed of "who or what I was."

 

And that on the Feast of the Holy Family 2009 I received a Eucharistic MIRACLE in my eyes and have enjoyed given thanks & praise for nearly three and a half years of landscapes and full length drapes!

 

So I have done some amazing things for someone who literally at times could not see what was under her ow nose!

 

I graduated from Grace King High School without ever having read much with understanding.

To satisfy my mother I sat on my bed for hours just every once in a while turning a page....

But since what was printed in those books made no sense to me and I could not see...

 

That time was not wasted... for in my heart I was not in a chair at a desk nor was I lounged on my bed reading...

I was conversing with my Lord my God and your God...

I would ask HIM to fill my heart and mind with whatever I needed to know...to stay safe at home, school or on the school bus...

Walking down hills or through my neighborhood.

 

A friend who I had not been in touch with for quite some time sent me an invite to open a "  LinkedIN " account.

Happy to hear from her I did just that thinking I could take my time that there would be no hurry to build a resume for myself and at a future date possibly this could help me grow a licensed business with  income doing what I enjoy the most...free-motion embroidery, crochet and writing.

 

But what happened was as I opened this "Linked IN " account, I was interrupted.

And as always, I embraced my interruption... as you do too... 

Took care of whatever it was my husband need that time....

 

I do my share of asking him questions that too for him are not at the best timing...

It happens in all marriages in all kinds of friendships...

 

There is no fault placing here...  No anger or frustration but rather jovial laughter and entertainment...

Life is much easier when one can laugh at and with themselves...

But what happened since I did not stay with the program as I first began opening this Linked IN account was it automatically sent invitations to everyone who I ever wrote an email to from the first date I opened this email address.   And not only to these who I possibly only wrote once ever, some were business inquires that I never thought about again in over 5 years.

 

Other auto invitations went to folks who I never wrote but their email address was attached to one of those cutesy poems with pictures many just keep forwarding and forwarding over and over...certainly none of these I ever thought would one day show up as "CONNECTIONS"

 

And since I at times post to my blogs not signed into blogger but from my email as I am doing now...

Linked IN posted connection requests to my blogs for about a 5th time last night.

 

So instead of going into Blogger and removing those comical posts  "MrsStephanie............invites you to CONNECT"  from my blogs...

I am leaving Linked IN right there...

Instead I will post this on all of them...

 

And make a game of it...

 

But it could have serious consequence when an unsent invite is accepted by someone who is worse than unpleasant.

 

I HAVE CUT OF several CONNECTIONS....some without any explanation.

 

Check your email contact list for many email systems save all information as your potential contacts even though you do not routinely write email to them nor they to you.

And you can possibly also have your account hacked into through these odd seemingly insignificant addresses that seem not worth even giving time to DELETE!

 

But do it!  DELETE DELETE!

And when you open new accounts do not let systems access your contact lists, manually type the ones you want to communicate with the new account and you will have fewer headaches of             SPAM JAMS...

 

And you will not have to check your new account more often than you would have liked to to make certain you have no spying new connections...that maybe unsafe for you...

As happened to me!

 

But the Lord will always keep us free indeed with out needs HE cannot nor will not meet...

And when the devil does raise his head....

 

Whether a cyber spyer...a marriage divider...or simply folks who some how did not learn or remember from Kindergarten how to introduce themselves and ask others their names....

I guess till Jesus comes back there will be those who try to force themselves upon others instead..

 

When anyone is rude, crude, or  speaks with forked tongue...

Remember our Lord said to cut off the hand that causes us to sin...

 

Don't you wish that it was as easy to get rid of all of these....as pushing or clicking a DELETE BUTTON!
