This morning, I was thinking of people in need. Real need.
Tonight, if I am still here,I may tell the story of the time when the Holy Spirit spoke to me the second time (years ago)
I was asking for guidance, and assurance.
He directed me to 2 verses.
It was the answer I needed
Jesus said, Love yr neighbor as yourself.
"Who is my neighbor?" they asked.
He told the story about the good Samaritan.
Someone who had compassion on a stranger.
Scripture warns us about bestowing a verbal blessing on someone...and sending them away hungry.
That is equivalent to an insult.
Jesus hated hypocrisy.
As should we.
When Jesus spoke to Peter after returning from the dead, he grieved Peter by asking him a question 3 times.
"Do you love me?" (3 times he asked that)
Peter said "You know I love you". (broken grieved voice)
Jesus said, "feed my sheep".
And that is how Jesus wanted Peter to express his love for Jesus...to care for others.
Jesus said that whatever you do for the least of these (and we are all both the least...and not the least) He said that you are doing it for Him.
A glass of water. A loaf of bread. A $20.
I shouldn't have to mention that Jesus offered a promise to those that give aid to others.
But if it helps...
He promised that if you give to others...God would bestow blessings onto you.
"Pressed down, shaken together...flowing over".

I am listening to some very calming cello music.
It gives me a sense of peace.
Where I feel I can tell an interesting story. One without darkness.
I began following the 5th letter in May 2018.
I found his personality interesting.
I first noticed him through a Q and A.
In one Q and A, I asked him if I could ask him a question, but it was a personal question.
He said yes, and opened his DM to me.
And that began what I consider a unique friendship.
Previous to him opening his DM to me, he had doxed (not doxed) me On my request.
I was being frivolous and asked him if he knew where I lived.
He never said where I lived, but in only a few minutes, he gave my last name, details about me and some about my family
Then scolded me.
I was going to talk about hearing God's voice later, but since I can't depend on being here from minute to minute, I will talk about it now
When I thought about it earlier, and how I would present it, the Holy Spirit reminded me of this.
"To whom much is given, much is required"
So I begin with a warning.
If you beg to hear God's Voice.
And you want more.
He will require more of you.
It is not always convenient.
There are times that God would give me a message, and I didn't want to speak for Him.
I knew it often made me look a bit crazy.
And sometimes I wanted to look normal.
I don't know how long I will be here, but I was remembering a family devotion my husband did with the kids when they were young.
It was an example about saying goodbye.
My husband told the kids "if I was going away..
My husband said "If I was going away...would the last thing that I told you would be take out the garbage?"
He was talking about Jesus going back to the Father.
The last message Jesus gave His followers was much more important.
Can be found in book of Mark.
"Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to all creation".
These signs will follow those who believe...
I had a few Christmas stories that I thought of telling.
I thought of the one about Rocky de Blood with a Teardrop, a homeless lady that my husband picked up on the on-ramp.
Or the story about the Miracle Christmas.
But I think instead I will talk about my Quantum Christmas 🎄
In 2017, I was feeling dejected that our old tradition of getting a Christmas tree for our wedding anniversary was once again forgotten.
We really had so few traditions, that I considered it important.
In practicality, there wasn't room for a tree.
I decided to buy some large tropical plants instead. And decorate them.
But God had something better for me...which would teach me something I never knew before.
He was going to teach me Quantum Praying.
