Last night's service was very uplifting...This time a year is very hard for some people...I know it is very hard for me....I have been separated from my husband now for 2 years & to see all my friends celebrating this time of year w/ their spouse's is very hard...But I know I am not alone I have to Holy Ghost to comfort me through the trail...Sunday night Charlotte called me to the front of the church & told me I was not alone...I was not in this battle alone...She was w/ me as well as the body of Christ....God told me he was bringing me great victory in 2009 & I would not even remember the pain I have been through in 2008...It was a great touch...I have been holding onto that...when I go out & see couples walking around holding hands laughing w/ each other I just put my hand in a fist & say thank you Lord for holding my hand...you have never left me....He has been in the valley w/ me...he has never left me when the waves were up over my head...He has walked w/ me every step of the way.
Cathy preached last night...Watch around you...You may be entertaining Angels...She told a story about a time she went shopping w/ her Father (Brother Gabbard)...He was the greatest man of God I know...He always listened & followed the voice of God...they were in a suit store picking out a suit...Brother Gabbard was getting older & had not preached in many years...his children were continuing the work God had started many years ago....I don't know if he was getting ready to preach a sermon or what I can not remember that detail of the story...but he found this green suit...green was his favorite color....It was a little more than he wanted to spend...Cathy kept trying to get him to buy it but he just was not sure...she said this elderly man heard them & started quoting scriptures & telling Brother Gabbard why he should buy that suit...(was that an angel Cathy was not sure)..Brother Gabbard never wore that suit...he preached a few sermons here & there...when God gave him something he brought it to the body of Christ....but he never wore that suit..Cathy always wondered why he never wore that suit...Brother Gabbard past away a few years later....When they were preparing his funeral Cathy knew exactly what to bury him in...He wore that green suit...She believes God sent that man (maybe an angel) to help Brother Gabbard to decide on that suit for his homecoming w/ Jesus...She said a lady @ the funeral had never meet him only seen pics of him...she told Cathy he is so handsome..not was...is...how many people dead are handsome...Brother Gabbard did not look dead..he looked blessed...he had heard the words...well done in the perfect suit for the greatest occasion. Heaven

That was so good...it made me cry. Did you know that tomorrow is 10 years since my Grandpa passed? I can't believe it has been that long. I will never forget the times I spent with him and will never forget the conversations we had about the Lord! My Grandpa had a way of making you feel like a giant of faith when you would leave his house. You knew that with God you could accomplish anything!!! I really miss him! Thanks for the blog!! I am so happy about what Charlotte told you! You blessing and victory is right around the corner!! Praise God!!!
