Lesson I Learned Recently (like yesterday 10/12/19) In Humility. God Redeemed It For Me, The Very Same Day. Yes He Did.

I was looking over a letter I sent to a very important person yesterday. I sent the letter in the mail several days ago and it was signed for a few days ago when it was delivered. Low and behold I discovered I typed two words that I spelled incorrectly. How embarrassing, considering I really try to make sure things like that do not happen. I thought I spell checked it and thought I read it through before I signed the letter and sent it in the mail. I was a bit mortified when I discovered the error because I thought there was nothing I could do at this point. I think I was a bit hard on myself thinking the receiver of the letter will think less of me for these typing errors. Thank God I have sent words of encouragement, cards, gifts on prior occasions to this person so hopefully they will know it was not done intentionally.
Do you see where the humility needs to come forth since what I just described tends to have the word "I" a lot in the description doesn't it? That is not good when I am more worried about what they will think of me instead of me hoping they look past the two errors and receive the message of encouragement in the body of the letter. Looking back now I see my error and it goes beyond misspelled words. It is an issue dealing with me letting go of control and trusting God. I tend to magnify things in a grand way when they happen to me and in reality probably no one around me tends to notice as much as I do. I have to let go a bit more of being a perfectionist in my life. Why can I not turn this around and use this characteristic inside of me to advance the kingdom of God. I know I can and will try to take the focus off of me and more onto the lost and dying that do not know Jesus.
So later in  the very same day I receive a questionnaire to fill out via email. I answered the questions and there is usually a box if you would like to add further thoughts of encouragement or just thoughts you would like to share. I shared a word of encouragement and then I asked if this person could please apologize to the person I sent the letter/gift to for my misspelling of the two words. Would you like to know that God does have a sense of humor?
I have replied to many of these type of questionnaires in the past and I never saw this before until yesterday. Oddly enough, I was reading a question and there was a letter left out of the first word in the question. See, I tend to see things like this. I do not know why but I do. It is as if there is a target of some sort standing out and I tend to spot the spelling error. In a gracious way I did let them know that on the question there was a letter missing and I just assumed the word that it should have been and of course, I did answer the question.
Isn't that odd I guess Holy Spirit is trying to show me that I am not the only one that may miss it here and there but others do too. My letter was probably only going to be read by a few people at the most where as this questionnaire was probably sent out to many people. Hum, wonder if anyone else wrote in the "other" section to inform them the word was not complete? That is how I think, I know, I just do. I guess I will need a proof reader to review my stuff, just joking and I am chuckling too as I write this.
What a lovely Fall day where I live and church was beautiful today. I was not scheduled for marketplace ministry today so I was able to enjoy church. I did ask permission in advance if it would be ok to play my rain stick and other small percussion instruments at this church. I got the ok as long as I play them in the back of the church so as to not distract others. It was wonderful to use my instruments again during worship. After church I went for a drive and let Holy Spirit show me where to go. I keep searching for a new location/place to live and nothing has turned up so far yet.
I do believe the hummingbirds are no longer in my area. They probably started on their journey to their Winter destination and may they all have travelling mercy for safe journey there and return here when the timing is right for them to fly back.
Let me share a beautiful song I was listening to today and yesterday. Oddly enough it is on a Reba McEntire Christmas music cd. The cd is called "Reba McEntire My Kind Of Christmas."
The song is titled, "Back To God." Lauren Daigle sings this song with Reba. Listen to the words for they are true and very timely with what is going on in our world today.

Oh my gosh, I just viewed this video and I think I was in this church a few weeks ago. I think the stained glass windows, ceiling, altar and light fixtures sure do look like the church. A hidden surprise tucked away for me in this very day. This is the church in which they have a beautiful prayer chapel on the lower level of the church. I went into that chapel and prayed a prayer right at their communion rail just a few short weeks ago. God you are so faithful to me and You sure do love me. I do not ever want to take that for granted. Keep my heart, mind, body, soul and spirit pure just for You. You are the best.
Now, let me find the same song where it is a duet ok.

Last week I found this Christmas music cd @ Bargain Hunt for $2.00. That's right, I would say that is a very good find indeed.
