I would like to share with you something that recently happened in my life. Nowadays people can and do label all sort of things under the title of "BLESSING" but is it truly? Let's look at this if I may okay. It was a couple of weeks ago when I was getting the house ready to receive guests for dinner and a house guest coming for a short visit. I was at Hobby Lobby, and I saw a Fall themed outdoor welcome sort of mat that I thought would look nice, so I placed it in my cart to buy. I am at the checkout and see someone I used to work with checking out before me. I also noticed a whirly type of garden ornament that caught my attention in a cart near the register. Like a cart where customer items were placed to be put back on the selling floor because they decided to not purchase when in line paying for their purchases. The store clerk was in this rushy type of mode and didn't pay attention to what they were doing. Instead of actually scanning the bar code on the outdoor mat they just asked me is it the 11.99 or was it maybe 15.99 mat I had. Instead of taking that split second to actually ring it up with using the barcode even though I showed them it was 11.99 they did it their way. I also inquired of the whirly item and they replied it was 8.74 or something like that. I had been in search for one of those for several weeks then and I said to them what if it doesn't work well since it looked a little flimsy and they replied to me something to the affect for 8.74 are you really going to return it. It was the attitude and rushy type of mode that did not settle too well with me.
I am heading back home and happened to look at my receipt and discovered their rushy actions caused them to only ring up the mat for something like 1.19 and I think there might have been a discount on that too if I am not mistaken but do not recall because I no longer have the receipt. I call the store and ask to speak to the manager, and I do. I explained what happened and how it was rung up not correct. At this point I was not going to go back as I was heading home and asked if I could go to my local Hobby Lobby and pay the difference. They replied to not do that since each store has their own inventory and told me since it was the store error to just keep the mat, and the store will take the loss for being rung up incorrectly. They were going to speak with the clerk about the error and the attitude also, since I replied to the manager that that costs the store money as a loss.
I think nothing of it, and I guess you could call it a blessing right? How in reality can it be a blessing to one when another takes a loss on it, I am proposing that question to you. So, when I would be outside watering my flowers and would look at the mat it just never really registered to me as the 1.19 blessing mat. It was nice and all but not some spectacular print on the mat that would just wow you when looking at it though. It was this past weekend to go Saturday Holy Spirit begins to nudge me to go back to the actual store even though the tag is off, and I no longer have the receipt with me to make it right and pay the difference owed in money. I was asking Holy Spirit how I even begin to explain this odd transaction I am about to partake in. He is ever faithful, and I just asked to see a manager and explained what happened to me. We figured it out. so, the money was handed to me as a refund amount on the 1.19 mat and then they re-rung it up at 11.99 less 40% discount on Fall items and then I handed back the cash and added the difference to make the transaction completed. See, it must have been maybe 2 times throughout this transaction how I shared of how my walk with Jesus or my relationship with Him was much more important than getting a 1.19 mat. I was actually wearing the tee shirt I made with purchasing all items from Hobby Lobby at the time to make the tee shirt "JUSTICE FOR JEFF".
This store blessed me in allowing me to purchase the items needed to follow through with making the tee shirt Holy Spirit gave me the design for. You just never know when and where I will show up wearing this particular tee shirt to hopefully see justice revealed on what actually happened in the life of Jeff. You all are hearing a one-sided story in which the man-made appointed overseer to look into this story never reached out to people on the other side to hear their story is what is being shared with me, why is that? That is called unequal or biased justice in my opinion. Is there anyone out there that will research and investigate the full spectrum of this tragic story. A man's name/legacy is hanging in the balance here. Is there a Joshua Simone, Wake Up & Win podcast, Brother Elving, or Julie Roy's report out there that will take the time to delve into this for truth to be revealed and not just 1 sided story shared. I have spoken with some of these people that could be connector pieces to the puzzle and what they are saying and what they experienced is not quite lining up with the other side. Please do a deep dive look into this to settle it once and for all.
I met a friend at the cemetery this past Saturday and showed them the grave marker of Jeff and we sat for a couple of hours and talked on one of those nice marble benches nearby. We prayed a powerful prayer in agreement that either the people repent, and we truly would like to see true repentance, or the evidence be exposed/revealed. We locked hands and prayed this prayer right by Jeff's grave. We also prayed for healing to take place of the families that go to the cemetery to see the graves of those they buried there. We even saw a worker finding a place to place the flag for the next grave to be dug. It was a beautiful day weather wise and so much so I came home with a little bit of sunburn on the back of my neck from the sun. We also prayed for family salvations of those visiting this cemetery because the work of Jeff Jansen has not gone away because of the many souls that gave their hearts to Jesus when he did crusades, meetings, etc. Imagine this ... you are in heaven and each day possibly someone comes up to you to thank you for telling them about Jesus. In a split moment I saw it like this ... Jeff does not take the thank you but faces toward God Almighty to give the honor to Him. that was my experience. Then we talked briefly of how when the trump sounds and the eastern sky parts how the dead in Christ will rise and then us believers who are on earth will join them. How glorious, how glorious.
Do you know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour today. It is a free gift freely given to you if you choose to accept it. Jesus came to this earth in the form of a baby and grew up and then was baptized by John the Baptist and Holy Spirit in the form of a dove was over Him and God said He was pleased with his Son. The ministry began and He chose to die a terrible death on a cross. He was mocked, spit upon and bore the sins of the world so if you would one day choose to give Him your life and heart you would be with Him in heaven and not hell for all eternity. Really, this is no game this is truth. All you have to do is come to Him with a sincere heart and ask Him to forgive you of all of your sins and He will with the precious blood He shed on the cross. Then invite Him into your heart and He will accept the invitation. You should then go and share with someone what you did and then start attending a true bible teaching church and find fellowship with other true Christians and if I may suggest for you to get a bible and start reading 1 chapter a day in the New Testament and you will surely get to know Jesus, the one you just gave your life to. Oh. possibly write down the day in which you said this heartfelt prayer, so you have it as your born-again date in time.
