πŸ‘'Looking for the Blessings!'πŸ’–

πŸ¦‹ "It's a funny thing about LIFE...once you begin to take note of the things you are GRATEFUL for...you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack!"         - Germany Kent 🐱🦌 BLESSINGS that come unexpectedly, I consider to be, wonderful "gifts" to my soul! πŸ˜ƒπŸŽ This morning, whenever, I was turning off the outside light to the deck, and, opening the curtains on the patio door, I unexpectedly, saw a beautiful (it's fur was a patchwork of several colors) CAT (I woke him/her (?) up), who had been sleeping, down, on a chair, in the back yard/pool area, and, I also saw, a fawn, grazing, down - around the edge of our "jungle" (what used to be a pond full of water - for the horses - until Muskrats ruined it - to where it no longer holds water - ha!!). πŸ€£πŸ΄πŸ€ πŸ’–πŸ™‹πŸ» My life has been filled with innumerable BLESSINGS (expected and unexpected) from GOD (James 1:17)!  I'll never be able to thank HIM enough for ALL of the BLESSINGS, which, HE has b...

🐴'I Still Love Me Some Horses!'πŸ’œ

πŸ’–πŸ΄πŸ¦„ ‼️HORSES‼️ I AM DEFINITELY A "HORSE PERSON"β€ΌοΈπŸ΄πŸ¦„...Why do some people obsessively πŸ’œ HORSES⁉️I do NOT know‼️GOD just made us this way‼️ πŸ¦„πŸ΄πŸ’– It is as though we are born with a special "πŸ’œ for horses gene!" πŸ¦„ I cannot remember a time when I did not obsessively πŸ’œ them! 🐴 The saying goes..."One touch is all it takes to make a girl fall in love with a horse." πŸ’–πŸ¦„ For me, it didn't even take a touch!  I was born with a πŸ’œ for horses! 😊 But, why⁉️ I honestly don't know‼️ Maybe we πŸ’œ them because, most of them, have a, gentility and gracefulness that, most human beings, don't seem to have⁉️ Most horses have an innate beauty, in their overall appearance, which, is noticeable by most people. 🐴 And, even if, a particular HORSE, is not necessarily, "pretty"...if it doesn't have a pretty coat, markings, shape, etc., there is still a beauty about it, which, was put there by our amazing Creator, Elohim (Hebrew), God, in my humbl...

βœοΈπŸ™πŸΌ GOD HEALS!! πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ’œ

βœοΈπŸ™ŒπŸΌ GOD heals!! 😊 In this post, I'm going to share, "personal" and/or "semi-personal," testimonies - exemplifying God's, ability and willingness, to heal people (usually as an answer to people's praying and fasting). πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ’œ The most significant way in which GOD desires to HEAL, each and every, human who'll ever exist, is SPIRITUALLY, which is, sometimes, an answer to prayer, however, it is always MIRACULOUS (whenever, a person's spirit is quickened)!! πŸ–€πŸ’”βœοΈπŸ’œ As members of  'Adam's (fallen) race,' we are ALL born with dead (unquickened) spirits (1 Corinthians 15:22, Romans 5:12). πŸ˜” We are born 'sinners.'  We are also - souls, which, are inhabitants of our mortal bodies. πŸ‘« Unless, our spirits are quickened, HEALED, made alive - through Christ (Ephesians 2:1-5), we'll die in our sins, and then, we'll (spirit, soul, and body) have to go to Hell, because, God is holy, and, cannot allow anything sinful in HIS pre...

βœοΈπŸ™πŸΌ 'Exhaling Fear' πŸ—£πŸ’œ

βœοΈπŸ’™πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ This post is going to be a tough one for me to write, because, it's about the terrible struggle through which my father experienced - the last four months of his life. Yesterday, Wednesday, the seventeenth of Oct., was the twelfth year since he passed away, so, I am, once again, thinking about his, and our, "nightmare!" πŸ’”πŸ˜’πŸ™πŸΌ I've "shared" some of it in previous posts, however, this one is going to be deeper, and, more detailed. πŸ˜”πŸ™πŸΌ First, and for most, I am incredibly grateful for the comfort that I've sensed from the Holy Spirit throughout dad's - AWFUL, MEDICAL ORDEAL, passing on (death), funeral activities, and, continued living without him the past twelve years.  I am also grateful for the peace in which I have within me, in believing, based on his profession of faith in Christ Jesus, as his personal Savior, that, he is with HIM in Heaven (2 Corinthians 5:6)! πŸ™ŒπŸΌβœοΈπŸ˜‡     πŸ€”πŸ˜œ OOPS...as I was thinking upon my poppa, for this po...

πŸ’œ 'HAVE YOU EVER?' πŸ’œ

βœοΈπŸ™πŸΌ Please, believe that, I am very sincere concerning the following matter, about which I'm going to write! πŸ‘©πŸ½πŸ’– So, here goes...IF, I know you (well, even if I don't know you), then, I care about you, and, the condition of your "heart," and, where you'll spend eternity (Heaven or Hell)! πŸ˜˜πŸ’™ Therefore, I am praying that, you will receive 'Christ Jesus,' as your personal 'Savior,' if, you haven't already! πŸ˜ŒπŸ’œ And, if, you are already a 'Believer,' then, I'm praying that, you will LET God help you to become ALL that HE created you to be, do EVERYTHING that HE has planned for you to do, and that, you'll live HIS "perfect" will for your life! πŸ“–πŸ™πŸΌ I understand that, this sounds (or reads) really "corny" to some of you, but, I honestly don't care! ☺️ I simply do not want anyone's "blood on my hands," whenever, I appear before 'The Lord,' at 'The Judgment Seat of Christ' ...

πŸ’– 'Momma, the Survivor!' πŸ™‹πŸ»πŸ’–

πŸ’–πŸ€°πŸ»The subject matter of this 'blog-post,' is one, I "should have" used as - one of my firsts! After all, I would not exist without "it" (her)! 😏 And, I don't know why I didn't, except, for the possibility that, I, like most women, may have, "deeply rooted - psychological issues," concerning my relationship with my mother (written in jest)! Ha!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜œ "I DUNNO?!" πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€£ In case you haven't guessed yet, this post is about my wonderfully unique, MOTHER, Anna Fay, aka - mommy, mom, mother, momma, momma mi'a, Anna, Ann, Annie, grandma Ann, mamaw Ann, nanna Anna, etc. πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ’Ό (Proverbs ch. 31) πŸ’–πŸ™ŒπŸΌ How do I, and, where, oh where, do I begin in writing a "SHORT" post about my mother? πŸ€” First, I'll write that, momma Ann, is a phenomenal human being, who continuously enjoys life! πŸ˜‡πŸ’ž And, just as every human being possesses shortcomings, vices, and annoying behaviors, etc., so does she, BUT, for this post, ...

πŸŽˆπŸŽ‰πŸ’–πŸ€— "SURPRISE!!" πŸ€—πŸ’–πŸŽ‰πŸŽˆ

πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ According to my studies, interpretation, and beliefs, of the authorized '1611 King Jame's Bible,' there's going to be multitudes of people - good and bad, moral and immoral, rich and poor (their earthly economic status), all nationalities, nice and mean...ALL kinds - in both - Heaven and Hell (Revelation 20:12-15)! πŸŒ…πŸ”₯ And, from what I read, the "bottom line" determination of, where one shall spend eternity, after one passes away, is, whether one's name is still found written in 'The Lamb's Book of Life, or not (at one time, every soul that would ever exist was recorded in 'The Book of Life'). πŸ“– If, one's name is found there (because he/she knows Christ Jesus as Savior / Romans 10:9+10), whenever, he/she appears before 'The Lord,' then, he/she goes to Heaven, and, if it's not found there (has been "blotted out" / Psalm 69:28), then, he/she, is cast into Hell (later on - Death, Hell, and, the souls ...

'Expectations'

πŸ’œπŸ€΄πŸΌπŸ¦„ ''Twas contemplating earlier this morning upon - the possibility of this post being about -  my experience - thus far - with the FANTASY of - me - being rescued from life's troubles - by a - PHYSICAL, "KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR" (for the post - I'll be using (MKISA) to represent the phrase/title, "My Knight in Shining Armor"). πŸ›‘As a you girl, I imagined him being, Elvis Presley, Donny Osmond, or another one of my celebrity "loves!" 🀣 πŸ€” I had not yet decided - if - I would indeed write about (MKISA) - or not - whenever - I came - out back - to the deck - to do SOME of my daily devotions, this morning. πŸ“–βœοΈπŸ™πŸΌ Now, I do believe that, I shall! ☺️ As I do, most mornings, I sat down at the old table - on the deck.  The table top, was my great grandmother Hill's, so, it's probably - close to 100 years old, and, most likely, made by my great grandfather Hill (?).  I began reading one of my devotionals - one, and then, another (p...

'Forever Young?!'

πŸ’–πŸ‘© FOREVER YOUNG!! 😊 Well, there is a place somewhere within my being which "feels" "forever young" (up to this point in my life, anyway)! πŸ‘§πŸΌ For this post, I'm going to use - (TYM) - to represent the words - "The Young Me." πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜‰ This thought came to my mind on my way to 'Sunday School,' this morning. πŸ’­πŸ’†πŸ» I'm usually alone on my trips - to and from - church services. πŸš— With my husband, David, being a preacher, he either, leaves earlier than I, or, he is out of town (evangelizing). πŸ“–βœοΈ Anyway, these times of driving, give me plenty of, thinking and praying, opportunities (driving to church, and, back home - at least 3X's/week / 20-30 minutes each way). πŸ’­πŸ™πŸΌ It hit me hard this a.m. that, although, everything around my 'being' has changed, there's a little part of myself  (TYM) - deep within, the authentic "ME," which, has not. πŸ’πŸ»The age that I actually am - verses - the age in which I 'mentally...
