TESTIMONIES OF OUR LIVING
GOD WORKING MIRACLES
MARCH 1999
THE BLESSINGS CONTINUE
Well the blessings just do not seem to be stopping. This blessing is the second one after my mom's death. I had asked the Lord for one blessing just because I am a spoiled child of God. Our Lord is so good that He gave to me two blessings. His peace and comfort fills my soul when I start to grieve for her because she is truly in His care.
Last nite I went over to my neighbors house to show off my new bird. This is funny; Paul had the bird for almost two weeks and him and our neighbor would put their hands or fingers inside and the bird would hiss and bite at them. He is just a baby cockatiel. We got McGee who ended up being a she, the night before my trip to go and take care of my mom.
I get home from church on Sunday open up the top of the cage and let the bird fly around. Paul said, “What are you doing? I said letting the bird know it can fly. The next day while Paul is at work I clip the babies wings and she sat for the rest of the day on my shoulder.
Well when Paul gets home I tell him to look under my hair and there is the bird and he just laughs. How did you do that? I just laughed and said I have the touch. He just says I am touched hehehehe.
I had the bird on my shoulder under my coats hood and said come on let’s go show the neighbors. When they say “Jump back Jack” that is what our neighbor did when he finally noticed the bird. I was belly laughing at this point.
I have been witnessing to him for years now and each time I asked him about accepting the Lord he’d say not yet. I do however, always share with him all the neat things that happen in my life and it is always so cool to him. For someone who does not know the Lord he would get just as excited as I did, go figure.
Of course I have to share with him about my mom and how my son’s fiancee’ accepted Jesus. I go on and tell him how Jesus doesn't care what we do in our lives He just wants us to love Him and He will fix all our imperfections etc. I then feel the presence of the Holy Spirit so strong and in my head say, “Lord do I get to ask him again?” and in my heart I know this time he will say yes when asked. So I step off the cliff and ask him if he wants to accept Jesus and he said YES!!!!
Wow! Two big blessings just from telling my mom's story of Jesus’ love for my mom. I bet if I keep looking I might find some more.
