Fall will soon be turning into winter. The colors are beginning to fade. I am now in my lavender War Room with my tree of lights. My purple lamp is lit, and candles that exude fall spices are glowing.
The Lord smiles upon ME??? You gotta be kidding me. Back in the 50’s 60’s, I was raised in such legalism, I would never have believed it.
However, there were some people in my life, that truly embraced your love of children, and laughter. Sr. Fidelis who was my 3rd and 5th grade teacher was amazing! She was such a love bug to her students. She’d play kickball with the girls and toss footballs with the boys. She truly embraced the love of Jesus.
When Jesus said,”Let the little children come to me,” she hit the mark.”The other nuns couldn’t understand her. She was from an Italian family of 5 brothers.
To no surprise, after the changes came to Catholicism after Vatican II..she left the convent.
As I spent so much spiritual girlfriend time with my friend, Gracie, the smiles and love of Jesus were poured over me.
When I began to watch THE CHOSEN, my life changed; I embraced the loving, human Jesus, who smiled upon everyone.
One thing the Holy Spirit confirmed:
* He loves you and smiles on you, even in your sinful nature.
*Give your your life to Christ. He will no longer see your sin …AND YOU WILL BEGIN TO SMILE.
* Then you will be so full of the Holy Spirit, you will smile upon others and change their lives.
*You have to make choices to create your own happiness…so get off your duff and get going.
Father, I am so blessed…as my favorite song by CAIN…so readily states. Even in the darkness, it is the promise of the Holy Spirit within me, as well as the promise of a resurrection and eternity, that make my life worthwhile. You chose me to be born in this place and time.
Thank You, ABBA, for loving me unconditionally, and smiling upon me this day.
