Now I Know Why I Purchased Smoked Croatian Sausages & Amish Smoked Swiss Cheese. Would You Like To Know How I Utilized Them?

I purchased the Amish smoked Swiss cheese thinking my daughter or former mother-in-law would eat it. Neither of them wanted any. Oh do you know this about me? When I travel by car I take along my portable insulated cooler that is on wheels. I have found that the best thing that works for me as ice packs really are not the traditional ice packs you may think of. I save a few plastic milk containers and then fill them up with water and freeze them in the freezer. I then use them as ice packs when I am transporting items that need to be refrigerated and kept cool. So many times when I arrive at my destination they are still not thawed out. Who would have thought huh. Then when they do thaw out I then just put them back in the freezer the night before I am traveling home and I am ready to go again.
I ended up taking the cheese back home with me. So, we are having a desserts around the world event at work. It was not just limited to desserts, you could also bring a food item that was from your nationality/heritage. Yesterday I was still a little bit tired from my driving the day before. After dinner I guess I took a nap. I woke up at around 9:30pm and then I went to exercise. So I get home and I am now up so I wrote on my blog. Then this inspiration hits me around 1am or so in the morning, create a dish with the Croatian smoked, dried sausages and with the cheese too. That is exactly what I did. I also left a space in between the 3 different sausages to put in a row of crackers to go with it. I wrote up a tent card with an explanation of what it was on the plate. I even attached a business card from the sausage company and the Der Dutchman to the back of the tent card.
So, this morning I am reminded by Holy Spirit to go and get my Croatian lace picture and take it as a part of the backdrop behind the sausage. I even have an "I love Croatia" coffee mug I keep at work. I also used that as part of my prop. You see, the main purpose of making that purchase was to bless others. Did I know it at the time that I purchased the items, not really. Not really to the full extent that is. I love being blessed to be a blessing to bless others, do you?
Oh you did not ask me what was the main music I listened to on my drive to and from my destination this past weekend. I know you may think to yourself how could she listen to a song over and over again. That is a simple answer, I probably needed to absorb the words and anointing pouring forth from that very song Holy Spirit inspired me to listen to. This is interesting, Sunday morning as I was driving through Ohio I picked up a local church service/preaching and I find myself saying amen in the car to what was being preached. I even had a cd set from Rod Parsley ministry about miracles. I did listen to disc 1. When I went to get out disc 2 the way it was placed and the way I was trying to retrieve the disc it cracked so I did not get to listen to the disc.
The song that was on "repeat" mode in my car was by David Crowder, from the "I Know A Ghost" cd, "I'm Leaning On You."

This was a gift from one of my relatives in Croatia. On the back it states the lace is from Island Pag, Croatia. The lace is on the UNESCO list of the world cultural heritage. It was made by a retired nun in the winter of 2013.
