Uh Oh "Mama Mia" Snuck Back Into My Life Yesterday. "I Have A Dream." Tender Tears Of Joy Too.

Well. I discovered yesterday that the person tat was going to smoke a ham for me was not available yesterday. So what does a gal do in this situation? I do not have a smoker machine to smoke a ham and I really do not bake hams per say. It was one of those things in my life that I somehow did not have to make hams or turkey's also. If we were having a family gathering it was always my mother or mother in law that made those items. I suppose I could always learn how to make a stuffed turkey, I learned how to make a ham yesterday.
So I was now on a mission so to speak. I google searched to see if one could make a ham in an electric pressure cooker. Eureka, you can so that is what I did. I followed the instructions and I did add whole cloves to the ham instead of ground cloves and I also draped the ham with pineapple rings too. It does not take long at all in the electric pressure cooker. I think it was 15 minutes and I had just under a 7 lb. ham. SO I did what I needed to do and started the pressure cooker. I knew that when it was done it would go into "Hold" status and I was ok to go for a walk in the park.
So I noticed that "Mama Mia" was going to be on tv and I turned on that station. As I a walking out the door I hear one of my favorite songs, "I Have A Dream." I am now humming that song and I begin to play it on "repeat" mode in my car heading to the park. The adventure starts so to speak. I walk in this park a lot and I never saw anything like this before. I tend to walk on one side of the path and then go to the other side or in the middle of the path when I walk. Yesterday I was drawn to walk on one side per say. As I am walking I noticed a stone that was painted on the side of the path. the side by the river. I walk past it and ask Holy Spirit if I am to pick it up and take it with me as I am still walking? I say to Him if it is still there when I return walking back I will. Now, I am no fool so I did a bit of spiritual warfare before I ever even touched that stone. I released in the name of Jesus through my Father in heaven warring angels to clean it off and then ministering angels to do their work and that was even before I ever even picked up that stone. I got the ok from Holy Spirit o take it with me. I happened to have a Kleenex in my coat pocket so I picked it up with that . This is peculiar, Holy Spirit said to pick it up with my left hand and I obeyed. See, in the natural realm I am right handed and would have picked it up with that hand if that makes sense.
The day before when walking at the same park I saw such a treat as I was heading back from walking. It was getting to be dusk almost so I knew don't spend a lot of time at this place to look because it was about to get dark and I had to finish my walk. I saw some movement in the water so I waited to see what it was. I saw 3 little ducks treading along in the water. I asked them to swim to where the angels were at. They swam and then paused just before they got to the bridge (where I was standing.) Then I look at the other side of the river and now I see I am guessing the rest of the family. Eight ducks swimming on the other side. These 3 little ducks had to catch up with he rest of the family I thought to myself. What a delight to see life in motion even in a family of ducks swimming on the river. Oh I am now seeing the "River of Life" as I am composing this. See, on one side is life but then when you cross the river into your destiny of life it is now abundant life. Thank you Holy Spirit for this blessing insight as I type right now.
I pick up the stone, Oh I am back to the beginning portion of the story now. Keep up with me ok. It has painted on it 3 snow capped mountains with a blue sky background. There are 5 birds in the sky with green grass that has 9 flowers painted in this scene. I am slightly familiar with this concept of painting the rocks and leaving for others to find. I had a cousin whose son painted a rock like this and left it at a park for another to find. I just google searched it and they are known as "Kindness Rock Project." Usually painted by children and then leave them for others to find and collect. I might have to look into this one for it says you can look and see if you find the picture and get an idea of where it has been. See, I was already shown that I will update on the back of this rock the date I found it 11/19/19 and the location also. I just may even update it with where I actually will leave it. I think I know already by which body of water I will leave this stone for another to retrieve. You should know me by now and that the water is so very soothing and inspiration motivator for me and my writing.
I looked on the back of this particular stone and all I can make out is the word  "rocks." It does not look like it says Kindness though. Oh with further looking with a magnifying glass it just may say My Kindness Rocks.
See how Holy Spirit has great little surprise gifts tucked away just for you if  you choose to follow His lead? So I get home and the ham is now done cooking and the instructions say to manually release the pressure cooker as opposed to a forced release of the cooker. Oh in simple terms that means to unplug it and let the steam pressure release naturally. I then take out the ham and let it rest under an aluminum foil tent and then it says to put the pressure cooker back on to the browning mode and let the juice now cook into a glaze. That is what I did while watching the rest of "Mama Mia." I simply love the song she sings when she is helping her daughter get ready for her wedding, "Slipping through My Fingers" or something like that is the title. Happy memories flood my mind of the days with my children as they were growing up. Not tears of sadness but happy tears. I know the bible says that God collects our tears and stores them in heaven. I once proposed this question to a ministry but I never really got a response to the question from the ministry itself. I proposed it via a survey we take and I really wanted to know the answer so I pursued it further. I reached out to one that is indirectly connected with the ministry and they answered it to their degree of knowing. I am a stickler for some things and if I proposed it to the ministry I was following Holy Spirit nudging me so I waited patiently to receive an answer and did not receive it.  I was kind to the person that shared what they thought the answer to my question was and had to accept that for the time being. I know I will be somewhere or someone will preach about this very subject and I will eventually get my answer.  I may have to wait until I get to heaven to find out the answer to this question: "So if our tears are stored up in heaven then if you have tears of sadness and also tears of joy are they both stored together or are they stored separately in heaven? I tend to think abstract on things at times and I really would like to know the answer to this question.
I then sliced the ham with my electric knife and placed on a serving dish. I will bring in this ham to work today for our luncheon. So now we will have a smoked ham and a pressure cooked ham on our buffet. I also drizzled the glaze on top of the ham and decorated the 4 corners of the  dish with the pineapple slices. See the choice was to purchase 6 cans of pineapple juice the recipe called for 1/2 cup of pineapple juice but it did not call for pineapple slices. I decided the more economical way was to purchase pineapple slices in a can for I knew pineapple juice would also be in the can too. There was a bit over the amount I needed in that can.
I also put together a "thankful" gift display for our executive office that I will deliver today too. Would you like to know what I included in that ? Smaller version of the 2 dips I made; a sleeve of crackers to go with the dips; Pumpkin Spice Keurig cups along with vanilla Natural Bliss creamers. Oh, I also put together a plate of dessert too for them to hopefully enjoy. I also tucked in one of my (colored by me) "blessing" scripture verse cards too. It is kind to remember the executives in the organization that you work at. Do not just bless your co-workers but bless the executives too. I wonder how many truly do follow this as part of their lifestyle. Just a random thought.
