Yesterday I had a conversation with my Daughter, pertaining to specific trials she has been going through with her mother-in-law.
While at work, my daughter was discussing these trials with a fellow employee, she could not understand how her mother-in-law, could be so full of hatred for her. She has met her husbands mother, was polite and respectful, but it seems that for some reason she cannot be pleased. The mother-in-law, calls my daughter “out of her name”, tries to instigate issues between my daughter and her husband, she even boycotted the wedding, as my daughter could not change the date to fit the mother in laws needs. This is what I would consider a Controlling Personality, with a Demonic Spirit.
Anyway, a customer was in the store where my daughter works and over heard the conversation, he interrupted “excuse me-I don’t mean to but in-but I happen to hear your conversation.” Let me ask you something? Do you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, son of our God, Our Father in heaven? My daughter replied Yes. He went on to ask her, if she minded if he shared a word with her about her circumstances. She said of course. God’s presence was with him at the time of the conversation, as an Angel sent from above, as he began to share his faith and a message from the Lord Jesus Christ. The message was so on point and so uplifting, that my daughter couldn’t wait to tell me what she had experienced.
The scriptures he quoted, the reverence in his voice, the sincerity and Love of God, flowed through his mouth.
but be filled with the Spirit; 19Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
In other words, he advised her to not take this woman’s bitterness, upon herself. Leave it to her husband (her son) to address and defend her (his wife). To seek out what God has made her purpose in life, and both she and her husband to draw nearer to God in there everyday lives.
What is so special is….the man told her, that he was not supposed to go to the store yesterday, but was “driven there by spirit”, and another coincidence was that they both attended the same church.
God works in Mysterious Ways His Wonder to Behold, in the name of Jesus Christ, I send praises to your Holy name and thanks for sending this Angel to my daughter during this time of need.
I too had spoken to my daughter concerning this situation, she heard me and listened, but it kept eating at her. So, God sent his angel to reinforce basically what I had to her.
In short, Don’t let what her mother in law says, bother her-her husband should handle the issue-she should not relinquish control of herself to give the mother in law the satisfaction of knowing she can upset her and her household. These strengths are delivered through prayer, from God through Jesus Christ. “All things come through Christ who strengthens me”. Let Go and Let God take the Lead!
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I’ll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops, Weakened by my soulful cries? Does my haughtiness offend you? Don’t you take it awful hard ‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines Diggin’ in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I’ve got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history’s shame I rise Up from a past that’s rooted in pain I rise I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.
One, two
One, two, three, four
People moving out, people moving in
Why? Because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sure can’t hide
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I’ll set you free
Rap on, brother, rap on
Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems nobody’s interested in learning but the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to my nation
Ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today
Woo, hey, hey
The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
The cities ablaze in the summer time
And oh, the beat goes on
Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything
And the band played on
So, round and around and around we go
Where the world’s headed, said nobody knows
Oh, great Googamooga
Can’t you hear me talking to you?
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today
Woo, hey, hey
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record’s a gas
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation
And the band played on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills
Hippies moving to the hills, people all over the world are shouting
‘End the war’ and the band played on
Great Googamooga
Can’t you hear me talking to you?
It’s a ball of confusion
That’s what the world is today, hey, hey
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya
Sayin’ ball of confusion
That’s what the world is today, hey, hey
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya
Sayin’ ball of confusion

4Â But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5Â even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6Â and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7Â that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8Â For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9Â not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10Â For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Do not mourn for me when I am gone, Do not grieve
Or show sorrow
But, remember me when I was young and not riddled by age
Or stricken by illness in any way, shape or form
Rejoice, as God the Father has chosen me, at this time to come
Home
Freed from my earthly form, I shed the bodily figure and SOAR
No more sickness, No more pain, Worry free, no suffering
Left in me.
Whole again in Spirit, I await at Our Father’s Door, as His Angel
Welcomes me while knocking on Heaven’s Door
God the Father, gave to man, an everlasting Life, through the
Sacrifice of His only Son, our savior Jesus Christ
SO shed no tears for me, but hold your head up high, share in
Joy I brought to you, the love, the good times and the fun
Think not or dwell on any pain I may have caused, because my
Earthly vessel, was just as everyone’s, and smitten to the
Same temptations, as ALL of you today, even those
Who have given their Life to God through Christ
His Only Son, are Human Beings First and as
Humans have a tendency to judge.
Take comfort in my Home Going, knowing I have made it
To the Resting Place, and Rejoice for me, and be happy,
Knowing that I am finally at Peace. Celebrate My Life in
The Actions that you do, think of me fondly as I walk
With you.
A Poem in Remembering Joe Louis Larkins Sr., who went home to the Father on January 19, 2018. With Love and Heartfelt Sympathy to the Family.
My Love, Respect, and Unity with family, friends and all.
My favorite memory of Joe Sr. is sitting with him at the counter on a stool, talking, waiting for lunch and him drinking a soda, sipping it through a straw, and tapping his feet to the music.
We Rejoice at Each Precious Moment Shared, Joe Sr-Gone But Not Forgotten!
When They Go Down-We Go Up-Rise Up
