Blessed Christmas & May It Be Merry Too!!! Belgian Waffles; Little Women; The Thrill Of Brazil & Lavender Lace Nail Polish Colors Too.

I trust your Christmas morning is filled with love, joy, peace and the Holy Ghost. Mine is. Yesterday I prayed and then sang in tongues for a pretty long time. I am not talking 15 minutes or even an hour, longer than that. I do not know why but I was expecting a dream during the night or early morning and I do not recall having one that I recall having. I am ok with that because I am like a child in the respect that I have that anticipation built inside of me. I did not ask Holy Spirit to give me an interpretation of my tongues yesterday. Without even asking me He shared something pretty integral to my life. An explanation of something that would have transpired if I did not hear the angels and Holy Spirit tell me on a few different occasions to not respond to something and get caught in a trap. See, it was a test I was told and I did not fall for the enemies attempts for me to take his rotten bait. The enemy can be so subtle at times and can use tools sent to you to fall into his trap. What God meant for good could have turned a bit sour if I would have taken the bait. I cannot share the details with you. Do know this that if I was looking at this with my natural eyes I probably would have responded. Thank God for divine interruptions to take place to keep me on track.
I woke this morning and last night I felt to make Belgian waffles so I had just enough mix to make a small batch of them. I added vanilla and maple nut flavoring to the batter. I do not know why this is, but no matter how long I heat up the Belgian waffle iron to make them in, the first one always turns out not as crunchy as I tend to like making them. It happened again this morning but that is ok there were 2 more to follow that turned out with the right texture. I followed Mr. Martin's suggestion and I put a pat of butter on the waffle and then drizzled it with his homemade honey, yummy.
I also saw an advertisement for the movie, "Little Women." It said it was starting to be shown on Christmas Day. You know where I am going today right? I tend to like movies like this one, I call them "period/era" type of movies. It is a good day to go and see a clean, wholesome type of movie do you agree?
Oh I also felt led to polish my toe nails (actually a second coat on top of what I already polished.) The color was by OPI Nail Lacquer, "The Thrill of Brazil." After that I then painted my nails in a softer color. I like colors like this because sometimes it is just fine to use demure, feminine colors of nail polish. That color was CND Vinylux, "Lavender Lace." Just the title alone shouts soft and feminine. How appropriate to wear this color when going to see a movie from a time period in which women did dress up in a feminine manner of dress. I do love being a women and expressing my femininity. I love that God chose for me to be created this way. Feminine, frills and delicate in nature too. That does not mean that I cannot produce a mighty roar in the Spirit when called upon or the unction moves upon me. I can, I do and I will continue to do so. Holy Spirit places the right cause in my heart and I will fight for it. I am pretty quiet in nature but when I am called forth a boldness tends to overshadow me and I speak what is to be spoken forth. I love yielding to Holy Spirit do you.
I could not end this glorious day of celebration without sharing this with you. Many, many years ago when one of my children was probably in grade school (not upper grade school but the lower starting years of grade school that is) we had a family friend that was a worship leader at their church. I believe it was a Church of the Nazarene and they were in charge of a Christmas Pageant in which the children put on for the church. They asked if this child could participate in this. I said yes and this child wanted to also. Guess what their part was in this pageant? In Matthew 2 8-20 they read the scripture verses announcing the birth of Jesus. This child did a great job too. I was also blessed because my friend let me work with the children for this pageant in regard to percussion instruments being used. Way back when, Holy Spirit brings this to my memory this very day in time. See, what you may have accomplished or participated in years ago for Jesus can and will be used to encourage another today. Never tire of sharing your God stories with others because there is and always will be a new and fresh pair of ears to hear the story to encourage them. You know what? When I was visiting back home I actually drove past this little church and silently asked the Lord to bless the pastor and happy memories flooded my memory. This was not a church I attended as a member but a church that blessed and loved me even as a visitor. This pastor was most kind and did you know he even drove a city school bus. Imagine all the children that were prayed for when this pastor drove the bus filled with school children. Love of Jesus personified do you agree?
God is love and bless His holy name. Many times I tell Jesus, God & Holy Spirit that I love them, I trust them, I believe them, I adore them and I extol their holy name. Do you.
You know what makes me a bit disappointed today? Not very many churches have Christmas services on Christmas Day. The trend is to have candlelight services on Christmas Eve. I started searching last night for Christmas Day services and there are far and few between to find. Maybe some churches can revive a Christmas morning church service. I know that throughout the years you can probably find a Catholic mass being celebrated on Christmas Morning. Maybe a few churches can bring this back to life. Just a thought I had today. Thank God I found a beautiful live stream church service and watched it yesterday.
