Matthew 13:44-52
44 “The kingdom of heaven
is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven
is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven
is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. 48 When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad.
49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 “Have you understood all these things?”
They said to him, “Yes.”
52 And he said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been trained
for the kingdom of heaven
is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.”
And I have, we had several announcements in our family of great change and I decided to pray for one member of our family and fast. Usually, I do not tell this. Jesus told us keep this low key.
And then I had something happen that was so good, it was like:
Luke 15:8,9
Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me!"
We bought an antique oriental rug with some various less than perfect places. And I rejoiced, because if something happens to the rug, we won't roll around in agony.
Today began and I found our wonderful, but less then perfect puppy, had a favorite spot on our living room rug. The difficulty here is, if you aren't barefoot, you don't know. And our sweet little puppy did this in her favorite living room rug spot until the colors bled and what was red became a beautiful shade of rust and pink. Not the watercolor running I had hoped from my rug. We did all the efforts of keeping up with this and I felt we had met with success several times, but this particular morning of my planned fast - my foot and eyes found sadness - it was just bad. The worst ever.
The puppy was disciplined, who assured me with her puppy eyes of love and sorrow, this was the day she learned. May this be our prayer to the Lord Jesus and she really does, Amen.
The fan was placed after the cleaning routine. I dabbed it with hairspray and made the white area pink and whitish. When it's fait accompli of house training - I planned to move the rug away from "Front Door View" (dog dang). And I again began my day with some prayer and cleaning and phones ringing and my mother's household needs some work done near flooding of her front door and things happen this and that all morning. Whew.
And as I was adjusting the fan, I realized for the first time this rug now smells ammonia like a hamster cage (gross) and the rug, for the first time, is wet enough on the bottom to flip back a corner and put the fan on it. Making the wonderful household aroma of Hamster Cage Clean Out Time. And this became, this, with Lysol original scent topping upon it. The puppies sat and examined the rug and put their chin on the floor to watch the fan and look morose, all of their own efforts. Good.
The day went on after several hours and I was meeting Edward, who ran an errand. I was going out the door when I casually flip the rug back into place and find UTTER ASTONISHMENT. I told you the rug had various areas reflecting the rug is vintage. And this corner was uniquely blended when I bought it. It wasn't bad at all, just a noticeable variation. The rug looked - new again. This wasn't possible this spot had been on and off for 8 weeks. The household training fell from great to ok good meh when we were out of town. Probably dog pouting. And to my amazement, the rug now is - to my memory - better than when I purchased it in that particular corner. I phoned Edward and told him we have a Jesus Miracle. Suddenly fasting looked like a very ... meritorious and fabulous Gift of God. Sunshine in my heart.
Edward and I returned home and I showed Edward, who looked at this and said, "Wow, you are right it looks like it did when it was new to us 6 years ago. Good job, AL."
Let me assure you, I dabbed it and probably said a really fast prayer. But this is all Jesus Christ and His Word and Works. His Mercy.
I'd show you a photo of before and after - except No One takes a Photo of - ew - the rug. Light a lamp in your heart, sweep your soul house and repeat the Mercy Daily Renewal Search carefully until we find - And when we finds this, you are called, friend, and neighbors of God's Emmaus road path together and, ‘Rejoice with me!"
Father God is Good!
Psalm 100
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise:
and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting;
His mercy is everlasting;
and His truth endureth
to all generations.
to all generations.
God is Good.
His Mercies endure forever
Pray impudently unto the midnight hour.
Ask Father God what you'd ask.
Allow His Will to work in His Plan.
Know the Scriptures, Know the Power of God.
When you fast, keep your eyes open
to the Will of Father God
to the Will of Father God
and see glimpses of Heaven.
Ask in the Name of Jesus.
Be sure to rejoice with others, His Goodness and Love. Rejoice.
Ask in the Name of Jesus.
Be sure to rejoice with others, His Goodness and Love. Rejoice.
Abba, Father God,
Help us to always Love You and take our Daily Mercies and build upon Your Love. Not forgetting our truths in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Mark 1
43 And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” 45 But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter.
Let us take our Emmaus road and create worship and love for Jesus. Having Jesus be pleased living in our souls, hearts, minds and life.
Truly, we pray, in times of putting ourselves closely to Jesus, let us go into the place of our heart, close off the noise,
Love sincerely, clinging to our Jesus in Goodness. Be devoted to the thoughts of God's Love, and offer Him the prayers and desires of our heart. We pray to You, our Abba,.
You are Loving us so dearly, we make sure in calling You Daddy, You and I know I'm speaking to You Heavenly Father. Father, You know the desires of our heart, You see. El Roi. Let us please You and live in Your Hope and Your Plan.
Taking the Highest Name of Jesus, placing this with Light and Love to lead, guide, strengthen, encourage, embolden, warm and support those we Love all their days to Your Heavenly Kingdom. To live in Peace, Love and Joy seeking and finding Your Kingdom.
Thank You, Jesus, Thank You, Abba, Thank You, Holy Spirit. Thank You.
Your Blessings on my loved ones, Dee's total healing, thanksgiving for Elliott's healing.
Placing Jesus in our endeavors, our Churches, our friends and neighbors, sweeping our Nation and the Nations of Your Good Creation coming to the Brightness of Your Only Son.
Jesus our Refuge. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
