I saw this a few days prior to me completing this today. Here is how it works with me sometimes. Sometimes my adventures are spontaneous that day with Holy Spirit nudging me. Others He shows me working it out that I can see it prior to actually doing it. I may see a glimpse here and there, then insight with details. The question is, am I willing to follow the leads or just dismiss them totally. I am sure I have missed some along the way throughout the years. I know I have missed opportunities probably out of fear of trusting and stepping out in faith. Others because just because and believe it or not He will bring some of them around again so He can bless me. He is faithful always.
I saw this unfold the last few days. He knows I like sitting on the grassy area where I live reading. So, He challenges me if I will go to the community pool early Saturday morning. I said ok. I saw me playing the water spirits video I created and playing it by the pool to deal with water spirits in the pool. Then I had to have Him help me on how in the heck am I going to bless the water with salt and anointing oil. I thought that would be a challenge but with His wisdom it was not. I came prepared today. I place a little bit of Cassia anointing oil on the tops of both of my feet and on my left hand. A little anointing oil 1st then a little sprinkle of salt on top of that. So, how am I going to do this today. Bless the water first with the oil & salt. As I was looking around the pool I had to figure out the best approach for this adventure part 1. The easy part was part 2, while sitting in the chaise lounge I played the video 3 times. Father, Son & Holy Spirit 3 in one. Eureka, go to the steps that lead into the pool, use the hand rail and then gently place my left foot into the pool to see if the water temperature was warm. When I let the oil/salt on my foot touch the water that released the blessing of the water. I had no intention of going in the pool but to the other residents already at the pool early it just appeared as a person testing the water temperature. Isn't Holy Spirit so creative. I then did my morning prayers and read the book I am currently reading.
Does Holy Spirit stretch my faith sometimes, yes He does and this was 1 of those times. To God be the glory. Water spirits and blessing the water were done today. Second task today was to bake the Fresh Blackberry Cake with Blackberry Butter Cream frosting. I already know the people who will get this cake. When I bake it is done to bless others, it truly is. I saw myself baking this for a few weeks now but had to wait for blackberries to be on sale. They were on sale so I went and purchased what I needed last evening. 0.99 for each 6 ounce container, I bought 4 so I had a few left to decorate the top of the cake also. I was up early today so I separated or attempted to separate 4 eggs as the recipe called for. Wouldn't you know it, all 3 were fine until the last 1 and yolk got in with the separated egg whites. What to do now? I then put all parts of the 4 eggs together and made an omelet with fresh dill from my garden and chives, onions and mozzarella cheese. I divided it in half and now I have breakfast for tomorrow.
As I was sitting on my patio I was blessed to see a hummingbird try to come towards me but only comes so far then goes back to the feeder. I saw a neighbor this morning while on my patio, walking her dog. I called out to her to see if her dog wanted some homemade dog treats. I went and got them for her. I also asked her if she needed any herbs, I broke off some fresh dill for her. A local farm market owner makes these dog treats so I bought them last weekend and shared them with 2 neighbors dogs. My 3 layers of cake are done baking and cooling now. I had to make a blackberry compote and it is cooling now before I puree it to make the frosting. All is well in my space where I reside, especially that a load of laundry is done too. I am composing this while sitting on my patio with the voices and splashes of water of children enjoying the pool as my background sounds. I am sure Holy Spirit loves to hear the sounds of children having fun, both young & old for we are all God's children.
