Today's Verse:

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15/KJV

Enjoy a lovely day!

Blessings Abound

Even if we could not articulate one thing we count as a blessing because of an occurrence, we are still blessed. As a Christian, that's literally impossible, I might add. When we can identify something that happened to us and/or for us or on our behalf, blessings abound.

One such incidence for me came in the form of a gentleman whose name is Mr. Rose. I do not call him that but he may not want me to use his name, not just yet. Mr. Rose is financially rich. He also has a wealth of knowledge and information. He shared two hours of his time and expertise with me today to help me with GeoVi's Home for New Life.

Identifying strengths and weaknesses will enable growth and support success. He is pragmatic and although a believer, he looks at the bottom line. A very complimentary man in recognizing one's strengths with an appreciation for one's passions, he asks the difficult questions and knows how to extract from you.

We will meet again as he review pages of information left with him and develop a plan of action on fund raising for the Home. I was given assignments and you can be certain they will be completed with accuracy and expediency.

Blessings are all around us. How I met him would force a "Wow!" from you. It was a situation of something the enemy meant for my detriment but the Lord made it work for my good. Had not the enemy intervened, I'm not sure our paths would have crossed.

God is truly amazing. He wants to bless us and He uses unlikely sources. Mr. Rose is a true rose. (Yeah, thorns and all!) *LOL*

A Good Samaritan

A busy day was planned and all tasked were checked off the list. I had meant to post here earlier but that didn't happen.

The drycleaning was picked up which is in the same strip mall as the nail salon I frequent. I met a lovely woman while getting my nails manicured. We talked about current events and it was obvious very early in our conversation that she was a Christian. "To be salt and light in the world, in the world, to be salt and light!" We were the only customers present. We flowed together in Spirit and thought.

She believed many souls would be saved because of the catastrophic earthquake in China. I came into agreement with her. We talked about the fires in Florida (my family's there and my brother was affected) and while I was washing my hands, I missed what she said next. She told me the report believed an arsonist may have set those fires.

We talked about darkness and light and what the world was coming to . . . and end! We weren't talking over each other but said that simultaneously. During all of this, we did not exchange names. We were sisters who had the same Father. It didn't seem to matter.

I shared with her about GeoVi's Home for New Life and the need to reach out to our children who are seemingly lost and without a moral conscious compared to our upbringing and the times.

Her pedicure was over and she was told she could leave but to be careful. We said our goodbyes and I asked her to pray for the Home. She asked the name and assured me she would. I thought to myself how she had helped make my day. It was late morning by then.

After my pedicure, I was preparing to leave and pay for my services when I was informed in broken English, "the lady who just left paid for my services." I was grateful and asked for kleenex. The tears flowed at the loveliness of her gift.

They did not know her name and neither did I but our Father does. The tears flow again as I think of her and whisper a prayer for her and all of you.

I'm inspired!

Mourning the Death of A Legend

I am shocked and in mourning after reading: "Joyce "Dottie" Rambo, an influential gospel singer and songwriter, died early Sunday when her tour bus ran off the highway and struck an embankment. She was 74." in the news this morning.

Just before bed last night, I watched this remarkable woman on TBN as a tribute was paid to her on Mother's Day. She was ailing from back problems and said that appearance was the first time she hadn't used a wheelchair or crutches. She prayed to the Lord for strength to make it on His power. HE answered her prayer.

This remarkable woman and songstress of the Lord looked beautiful. She sang with the anointing and testified about how she was given the lyrics for the song about the Rose of Sharon. When asked by Paul Crouch when she makes it to Heaven she and Mom Crosby will have a glorious time, her words filled my eyes with tears.

Now they are filled with tears at her the news of her death but she would want us to rejoice. She is with her Father and singing with Mom Crosby.

Our condolences and prayers to her family.

Opportunities

"Opportunities are easily recognized once they have been wasted." Jovan

Remember the conference at our church last week? On Friday night, I met a lady who invited me to be her guest at the BMW Golf Classic this week being held in my neighborhood! It's a bit of a long story but that's the brunt of it.

I wrote earlier about "Connections." We are divinely connected. Kevin Costner will be a celebrity golfer at this event. I also received an invitation to attend the celebration at the end of the Classic on next Sunday.

I'll take business cards for GeoVi's Home for New Life and network. I'm so excited about this opportunity!

May you have favor with man and opportunities opened to you this week! To the ladies, I pray Mother's Day was a lovely day and you were showered with love from family and friends.

Take special care.
