I recently saw a video on double yolk eggs and how it is unusual to find them. I began to think back, and I used to purchase them when I lived in GA. I then began to think maybe there is something to the video I saw, and I called Jaemor Farms in Alto, GA to see if you can still get them. Yes, you can, a local farmer brings them into the farm market. You can get 1 dozen for 4.99. That is a good deal. They are not duck eggs either, but they come from chickens. I would take the time now and then to drive to Alto GA from Flowery Branch GA in search of these eggs. If you are ever in the Alto GA area, I recommend calling them @ 770-869-3999 to see if they have any double yolk eggs that day. If they do don't wait too long because they tend to sell out. Sometimes I would then go to a small Amish goods store I do believe it was called Katie's and get a few bulk items that are packaged in smaller quantity. It was great for getting ingredients for baking. On occasion, the owner would bring back fresh Gulf shrimp and he would put it in ice for me to travel back home. They were huge in size and then I would make my shrimp with pasta dish for the family. Then I would head up to the mountains in Helen GA for my time of refreshing. It really is beautiful in the mountain region of GA.
I got up today and followed Holy Spirit direction to go to a particular Kroger's. I run into a co-worker and then I recognized a former co-worker when I worked at Cracker Barrel. Now I want you to pay attention to the Holy Spirit connection ok. I knew she was moving to a new place, and I would often pray for her when I would go past it while driving somewhere. I had no way to get in touch with her, but I liked working with her. I say to my co-worker oh I got to talk with Peggy. I look at Peggy and say her name. Here we are talking in between the frozen food section and the dairy section. She moved from that location, and I told her how I would pray for her when I would drive by the other location not knowing she moved. She is living with a child on a piece of property that has land. See, she used to have chickens before they sold their home when I worked with her. Still has chickens so I asked her if she has double yolk eggs. She knows how to tell which one's are double yolk. I asked her if I could buy some eggs from her. She wants to give them to me and not pay for them. We exchanged phone numbers and she gave me her address. Is that not God? Yes, it is. I heard, I went and found friendly faces of people I know too. God is in the little things too, not just the big things in your life. Yesterday I had to purchase some more communion sets at a local Christian store. While there I browsed through the CD collection and found Christy Nockels "Into The Glorious" for only 2.00. I purchased it and found a song I like. I know I will find other favorites on the CD but I have to continue on with this song in "repeat" mode. I think it is a beautiful love song that is touching the strings of my heart. I know how Holy Spirit works with me, there will be other songs to play in "repeat" mode after this one. How do I know, I already listened once to the songs on the CD. May you enjoy this song.
Love Can Build A Bridge
Be blessed with this oldie but goody re-post that I titled " Where do I go when I want a touch of home? The Mountains of course. Look what I found on my trip there today." :
When I get an urge to go back home I travel to the mountain area where I live currently. It was a gorgeous day today with the sun shining and the leaves are starting to change colors now. I got in the car with the sunroof open and off to the area where I have clarity to think and beauty surrounds me. Being in settings like this cause me to be most grateful to God of all the things He does for me. It is away from the hustle and bustle of traffic. One of the stops I went to allowed me to purchase double-yolk farm eggs. They are delicious. One thing is that you have to clean them off when you get them home. They come from a farm so you need to clean the outer shells before you consume them or place them in the refrigerator. Picked up a few apples and some garden tomatoes too.

Next stop to the store that so reminds me of home. They carry Amish goods so similar to a place I use to shop back home. On one of my trips I brought them one of the items I purchased from the other store to show them how similar their packaging and labels are. I even tell them that when I need a "shot in the arm" of home I travel to this store because they carry products also from the state I use to live in. For a few brief moments I feel like I am back home. Why do I miss home sometimes? I guess that is natural when you were born and raised in one particular state or region, it is who you were. While I was driving this thought came to me. I was thinking about having to clean the shells of the eggs when I got home and I then began to think about how we all had gunk and dirt and stuff like that on us before we accepted Jesus into our hearts. When we invited Him into our hearts and lives it was the washing of the word of God that cleansed us along with the blood of Jesus that He shed so we could live a life with Him. Not just here and now but for eternity too. Heaven bound that is the place to be. Maybe I yearn for something more because I will not be completely satisfied until I reach my true home which is heaven. The things of this world can tend to bog you down at times and thinking about heaven and the work we will have awaiting us when we arrive there makes me real happy. Do not let the things of this world bog you down but lift yourself up read the bible and surely something there will lift your spirit. There is so much wealth of wisdom in the bible that it should cause you to want to get away sometimes and just soak it in.
Heaven is for real and we will all be somewhere for all of eternity will it be heaven or hell? Only you can answer that question. If you would like the opportunity to select an answer right now and it is for heaven then let me lead you in this prayer that will take you on the start of your journey. Pray this prayer with me, "Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. Please forgive me and wash me clean from the sin and filth in my life. I try daily to live a good and clean life but I always seem to fall down. Pick me up and wash me clean and enter my life and heart to make me Your child. My sins are forgiven through You and what You did for me so I could live with You for all eternity in heaven. I believe that You were born and walked this earth. You chose to come to earth through the womb of Mary Your mother and live and walk this earth. You also chose to die on the cross and accept being beaten and receiving the stripes on your back. You suffered, died and three days later You rose from the dead. You are not dead and buried somewhere right now but You are alive and interceding for me right now. Thank you for that love that I could probably never re-pay You and for the gift You so freely give to me to allow me to change my life; live for You and with You with the help of the Holy Spirit. When I take my last breath here on earth I will be with You forever and all eternity in heaven. I am so grateful that You gave me this opportunity today to accept You into my heart. I love and trust You with my life. Amen"
Holy Spirit I ask you to seal the very words upon the heart of those that pray this prayer and invite Jesus into their hearts. Comfort them and teach them the things of God. Help direct them to a church that teaches the true word of God and will allow them to grow in the things of Christ. You are so awesome Holy Spirit and I am most grateful that you direct our paths and lead us to a safe place where we can invite Jesus into our hearts. That was my prayer for you. Did you know that the moment you invited Jesus into your heart that angels in heaven rejoiced? They rejoiced over you and your name was written in the Lamb's Book of Life. That is real important because one day it will be checked to see if you will enter into heaven. Congratulations and welcome to the family of God.
