I Was On A Mission Early This Morning .......

I was up early today, like 3:00AM early. I reset something in my room related to my computer. While doing that and arranging things around I came across a book I must have started reading before. I had a section marked with a post-it note. Probably my book mark. I thought hum maybe I am suppose to finish reading it. I wrote on my blog and sat down in a chair and read all but the maybe second last chapter of the book. Oh this is interesting, I felt led to donate money to disaster relief in the Nashville area to help those that went through the tornados. I did and I brewed a pot of coffee in between sometime. I mixed a harvest flavored coffee with butterscotch toffee flavored coffee and it turned out pretty good. I knew I had to do 1 thing for sure this morning. Get to Dollar General when they opened because they are allowing those 60 years old and older to shop the first hour the store is open. They did not have the 3 pack of albacore tuna I was looking for. Next stop another store like that on the way to Aldi's to purchase my home office chair to work from while at home. They did not open until 9:00AM. I am a person that does not like to sit and wait so I had about 40 minutes until opening so Holy Spirit guides me to the other Cracker Barrel store down the road. I was so happy to see more customer cars in the parking lot than yesterday. See, I know the gift store manager here also. She is always so kind to me whenever I am in that store shopping as a guest. People tend to remember kindness shown to them.
I tried on the top I liked it was not a style for me oh well. I did bless this store also. I found Easter items for 70% off that I can take with me @ Easter as little gifts. I wanted to bless this store also. I was able to see the gift store manager and briefly talk. This is sweet, this is very sweet. Do you know why they had no bacon to sell last night? They were letting their store employees buy bacon. I told you this is a company that shares what they have to bless their employees. As I was leaving I told her God will bless them in this time because I asked Him to for all the years they blessed me. That brought a smile to her face. Back to Aldi's. Oh my gosh it was about 8:50AM and the line was growing outside the store to get in when they opened. I found my chair and it was too heavy the box to carry and I did not need a shopping cart so do you know what I did? I scooted it along on the floor to the register and picked up a package of meat and a V8 and on my way to the counter to pay. I stopped down the paper aisle and I did pick up a small package of toilet paper but I do not know their brand for this. You would have thought it was the hot item in that store the way people were taking it from the shelf. I get to the counter and I ask the clerk if they knew about this brand. I love knowing people that work at stores in the local area because they will be honest with you. I had a toilet paper brief lesson. 1 ply not so good so I had no need for that.
This is another sweet tidbit of kindness going on out there. An employee put the chair in a cart and transported it for me and then loaded into the trunk of my car for. She tells me as we are talking about the way things are in town that her boss, and his wife were at a restaurant recently eating and they are letting the servers know to come work for Aldi's while they are not working in a restaurant if that would be the case. He said they pay $15.00 an hour and that is beautiful isn't that. Not hoarding the wealth but sharing and opening avenues for others to be blessed in their time of need. I think they are hiring on a temporary basis, you should probably check with Aldi's to confirm that and not listen to my hear say ok.
Stopped at the bank. So sad to see a notice on the door stating drive thru is open only allowed in the bank if you had an appointment. Guess what they still had to buy? You guessed it $2.00 bills Holy Spirit showed me what to purchase, He must have a plan of action with these $2.00 bills. I know they are great if you have an Easter egg hunt to fill the plastic eggs with. Also good to tuck in an Easter card.
I have 3 ripe bananas so I know there is a baking mode I am in to bless my neighbors. How does banana nut cake sound to you? I have to look through my recipes and cook books to see what jumps out at me. Be a blessing ok really be a blessing. This is your time to radiate with the love of Jesus. Let His light illuminate your being so it can shine brightly for His sake. Today's kindness may lead to someone's tomorrow or salvation and inviting Jesus into your heart.
Hey lets pause right now and invite Jesus into your heart if you have not done so. Let me lead you in a prayer that will lead you to Jesus if I may.
"Jesus I am a sinner. I ask you to forgive my sins as I come to you with a repentant heart. I tried making it on my own and just does not seem to work. I hear that You can help me with this. I ask you to forgive all I have done that is not pleasing unto you both known and sins I may have already forgotten in my life. You remember and know what I need to be forgiven of. I ask you to cleanse me with your life giving blood. The very blood you shed on the cross so I could live with you forever in eternity. Imagine that, me, the sinner, cleansed and forgiven and now living in heaven for all eternity. I love the sound of that and yes, I want You to forgive me, wash me clean in Your blood and I invite You into my heart. I invite You to be the Lord and life of my life. Jesus come into my heart. I open my heart and even past wounds to You to heal and set me free. I thank You and I will find a bible I just know I will. Thank You for changing my very life this very day. I will trust You and I will serve You all the days of my life here on earth. In Jesus name I pray. Amen"
Congratulations and welcome to the family of God. I would highly recommend getting a bible and start off reading 1 chapter a day and start in the New Testament. I would also suggest finding a bible teaching, believing in the gifts of Holy Spirit church also. This is maybe a perfect time to let Holy Spirit guide you to what church is the one for you. There are so many churches right now that will have their services live streamed so you can search them on the internet and then attend in person when they start services back up in the church. I can tell you this, the times when I am led to a church I experience this incredible peace when I walk through the doors and I am not even in the sanctuary yet.
Well, I am following Holy Spirit in my life in regard to a church also. I need to be somewhere where they tend to have a bit of radical worship going on. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I am called to worship with the rain stick. Not too many churches are open to this move of God. I was allowed at the church I did attend until … they will be going live streaming for worship and the word of God and they say the sound person can pick up on the rain stick. Oh well, do not feel sorry for me. There is a place already set aside for me to have freedom to worship as a worshiper does sometimes with freedom. You would think living in a region where it is known for music and preaching that it would be easy to find a church like that you would think? It is very important to not only make sure the word of God is preached in spirit and in truth but they also extend altar calls to people to receive Jesus into their hearts and then discipleship following that. Those are a few tid bits so be blessed beyond your wildest dreams and we will meet in heaven one day ok. Please come and introduce yourself to me. I bet they have even greater worship instruments in heaven that I will be able to worship with even greater in sound than any earthly instruments we have down here.
Very important, while you are out and about getting groceries and supplies do not forget to get bird seed for your bird feeders to feed the birds ok. I noticed there is suppose to be a new movie coming out "Peter Rabbit 2 The Runaway" I wonder if movie theatres will be open by then so I can go see it.
Well, there was a Holy Spirit pause before I publish this blog entry. Remember the book I made mention of earlier? There was 1 chapter left for me to read and I just read it. It was chapter 10, "It's Got To Be Personal." The book was written by James & Michal Ann Goll, how beautiful that a married couple write together. The book title, "A Call to Compassion Taking God's Unfailing Love To Your World."
