Memory Verse:  Fill me to the brim, Holy Spirit!

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

This morning I have set my scene with shades of purple. My purple, white polka dot teapot and cup. The above colors have inspired me. My bold Cup of Fancy this morning is a Salty, Caramel, Black Hot Tea.   I buy TeaTime Magazine and purchase different teas, from companies that advertise.

ABBA, You are my Best Friend, my strength, my chocolate chip cookie. Don’t we all like to have a cup of coffee or tea, when we are visiting with friends?

One of the greatest gifts that you ever gave me, was my sister in Christ, Gracie.  She taught me how to sip, snack, journal, and spend time with you, only; in a prayer closet. 

*Even though my husband just got through prostate surgery..and was harvesting 3 days later…yeah, tell me about farmers…

*Even though we had to evaluate his blood pressure meds last week, because he works like a Trojan.

*Even though I still have a lot of tenderness in my right knee that I had replaced 2 years ago-need to lose 30 lbs. to aid that….have been through PT twice.

*Even though I went to a new doc and now…had an MRI and am finally getting back injections.

…….Sunday was one of those days, where you filled me to the brim.

I was very weepy in church.  I am the last living member of my childhood family.

However, that afternoon I started speaking the Name of Jesus and counting my blessings.

My sister and I, out of 4 siblings, raised amazing, godly children/grandchildren; God/Faith/Family/Healthy Marriage/Work Ethic/Be the best you can be to glorify Him.

After the dysfunction, in which we were raised, my sister and I created the motto: “Life begins when you make choices.”  We chose to marry Christian men, and  aspired to higher education.

My sister Doctor Gail, was a huge role model in my life.

Since she passed two years ago, I have remained quite close to my two nephews, and their families. We are usually together forThanksgiving and Xmas.

However, they usually bless me by coming to my son’s playoff football games.

Last week God blew me out of the water.  You must understand that my brother had no relationship with me for 45 years, until he was ready to pass.

My sister became close to his oldest son, in helping with healthcare for the wife.  Since my sister’s passing, he and I have become very close.

Last Friday, I’m at the game, under the press box. 

Suddenly, I looked up, and there stands my brother’s son. As you can guess, I began weeping uncontrollably. Within a few minutes, my two nephews and families arrived. I was surrounded by the aura of my family in heaven. 

Then Sunday, I was talking with my cousin’s son, whom we raised on weekends for two years. His comment: Sue, I wouldn’t be the husband and father I am, had I not lived with you and Tom; tears, tears, and more tears.

So Sunday afternoon after all of the blessings, the doggies and I cuddled up for a long nap. You had filled me to the brim. You kept saying to me…these blessings coming back to you is because you did this…you did that.

I was laughing and crying say,”I know, Lord. I get it.” However, that was the Holy Spirit with me, that did the prompting…..it wasn’t Sue

ABBA, My Father…how blessed I am to know you; to be filled with your Holy Spirit. You changed me from Messy to Mighty!  Thank You, Father, for blessing me this day.

MY CHILD: When you finally gave me your all, after your first child was born, my time clock of your re-creation began. Yes, you suffered a great deal with your postpartum, and the genetics of your father coming into fruition.  However, you now understand the fullness of My Grace through Jesus Christ, the Son of the Triune God.

You have been used to guide others through their sufferings, and help them to rebuild their lives.  You have passed this on to your sons, for in their professions, they touch the lives of many.

Years ago, I gave you this scripture, through a prayer warrior: Isaiah:58:12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins, and raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

I love you. You are mine.

Your,
ABBA, Father I will continue to fill you to the brim.

Psalm 86:7 In the day of my trouble, I will call on You, for You will answer me.

John 16:24 Up to this time you have not asked a thing in My Name; but now ask, and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be full and complete.

Psalm 145:18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.
