Our Memories are Blessed

 The other day I had someone say to me her long-term memory was very good, but her short term wasn’t. That’s not the way God created it to be. God says The memory of the righteous is blessed. And if you keep saying that pretty soon you’ll have what you say, according to the Bible.

Religion has taught this world, a lie. Religion teaches us that we’re all sinners and that statement is true. However if you asked Jesus in your heart asked Him to forgive your sins asked Him to be your Savior you are now made righteous because of what HE did. 

God talks a lot in the Bible about the words of our mouth. He says negative should not come from one side and positive from the other. People can be so off-the-wall about things and what they believe but I’m gonna stick with the Bible.

As an example, religion tells you oh you’ll never understand the Bible don’t bother reading it, and that is such a lie from the pit of hell. If you get your hands on a Bible and you read it and understand it because you need to ask the Holy Spirit to help you to understand it, you will never be the same. It will change you forever.

Some people actually believe that when they get sick or something is wrong with them that God did that to them. That is a big lie. If you really believe that, God did something to you horrible like a sickness then why do you run to the doctor and get medication to try to get rid of it? 

Just like our insurance policies, they don’t cover acts of God. They’re not acts of God - understand your Bible and understand that when Adam and Eve ate that apple, the whole world changed and it changed over where the devil has control. The devil brings disasters, sickness, and all that stuff. 

One of the things that comes in our salvation package, though is the name of Jesus! I use that name continually because we need to in this world. Jesus defeated the devil at the cross. He defeated everything at the cross. 

By His Blood I have no fear in me. By His Blood death cannot swallow me. By His Blood I have prosperity. By His Blood sickness can't dwell in me. And by that Blood I walk in victory. By His Blood I've been set free. My Jesus Christ I walk in victory by His Word I've been set free. Thank God I'm free.

In the Bible, Jesus says lay hands on the sick and they will recover, He says cast out devils. The devil brings sickness and disease. Of course, right now the world is helping with that quite a bit by what they’ve been doing to us. God says they’ve been poisoning our food, our water, our air, medication‘s. And there is a lot more but I’m not talking politics I’m glorifying God right now.

I’ve learned a lot about prayer and praying for people over the years and sometimes you can just lay hands and pray for a person and they’ll be healed, but sometimes you need to have believing on their end too. 

I could go on and on, but the main thing I’m gonna say is we’ve got to watch the words of our mouth. God‘s word says that we have what we say. So our mouth has to be speaking good things and not negative things. I’ve spent many years trying to tell people about the words of their mouth and yes some have listened.

My words are my own self fulfilling prophecies. My life is defined by every thought and word I have. Proverbs 23:7. Change your words and thoughts and change your life. Don't take or say the devil's suggestion's he put's in your mind. What we have today depends on what we said in our yesterday's. Always hire the life and faith team not the fear and death team. Don't repeat the words Satan whispers in your ear.

Have the best day ever. Blessings…..

Flipper

 One of the things I love most about my husband is his singing. I remember it was an Easter Sunday and we were at church and he was asked to come help usher. He did. But then he couldn’t get back to us because of all the people standing around that only come to church for Easter And Christmas. I was disappointed actually a little mad because he didn’t come and sit with the family. I love to hear him sing. 

If we find a church that we fit into and we attend sort of regularly, we normally don’t go on Christmas and Easter for the purpose of letting everyone else go.

So I gotta tell you, Butch found the old child’s show flipper on TV yesterday. So every time the show ended he’s singing the song. I love it. He even did hand motions.

Way back when we had our first spec home on Erie Street in DePere I was doing a border of a wallpaper around the dining room. He came home from work and gave me some assistance with it. I had Country western music on and that one song Shirley Jean Burrell  by the Stalter Brothers was playing. So as he’s pasting it on there, he’s singing that song. You know today when I hear that song, I can hear him singing and see him pasting the paper. I encourage him to sing along with the song now. Sometimes he does. 

We are told in the Bible to enter his gates with Thanksgiving and his courts with praise! We need to always be doing more and more of that. 

Blessings.

Old Times

 We follow a lot of people on Rumble. One of the guys Mark is good at putting videos together. He did a video of the old TV guide. Music playing to the sitcoms on the front of the guide.

In the prophecies God tells us He never intended for us to live like this. Under slavery and bondage wasn’t His plan. I am so happy we will get back to these old times again. God is cleaning out our world and the process has well begun. 

We don’t do fake news ( not even fox) but we listen to the truthers on rumble. This is really a great time to be alive. God says our Exodus moments are coming. So exciting to see His Hand move and continue to learn truth. 

We look forward to going back to the old days. We are waiting for the crash. Read the book of Exodus and see how God delivered the Israelites and know that is what He is doing for us. Evil has to give back what they have stolen from us. God said so. The deliver is working and things are changing. 

Blessings.

Favor

 You don’t have to sweat, strive, struggle, or suffer to experience, provision, favor in abundance. God has a better and higher way for you. It’s called his abundant unmerited favor! Through Jesus finish work you already have access to this favor. Put your faith and rest in Him today and continue to expect God‘s abundant favor. You’ll see His goodness and abundance invade every area and mark every day of your life! 

When you focus on His grace, His favor and His love for you daily, you’re putting a magnifying glass over your life, and allowing Jesus’ love to beam down upon you in all its radiance, beauty and warmth. No matter what may be happening around you, you’ll be anchored in the security of His perfect love hidden in the cleft of the immovable Rock of all ages– your loving Savior, Jesus Christ. 

The effective, fervent prayer of a child of God avails much. Your Father is listening! The best way to guard your mind is to fill it with God‘s precious thoughts towards you! It is so important for you to develop a favor, consciousness in everything that you do because our human tenancy is to depend on our own strengths to succeed. It’s so easy to revert to self effort– where we end up, striving and worrying – instead of depending on God‘s favor for a success in all areas of our lives. 

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18

Miracles happen when you keep your eyes on Jesus. Walk on the water like Peter but don’t take your eyes off Jesus and look at the wind like he did for then he started to sink. 

Beloved, as Jesus is, so are you in this world. When you keep your focus on Jesus, you are transformed into His image from glory to glory. 

Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want. Lord is (present tense): He is our Shepherd now. Jesus is present with you, providing for you, watching out for you, and making sure that you and your family will have more than enough. Good success from Jesus will never take you away from your church. It will never take you away from your loved ones. Most of all, it will never take you away from yourself. Jesus is our good success. 

Faith does not come, just by hearing the word of God. Faith comes by hearing the word of Jesus His finished work. In the same way, meditating in God‘s word is about meditating, muttering and hearing about Jesus. 

Psalm 35:27 let the Lord be magnified, who is pleasure in the prosperity of His servant. Jesus delights in blessing us now. It is His good pleasure to see you blessed every year of your life! Now, don’t put a limit on His blessing in your life. The blessing of the Lord is not as some may believe just seen in material things. Jesus is infinitely interested in your total well-being. He is interested in your family, career, fulfillment in life, marriage, ministry, and boy, does the list go on! If it matters to you, it matters to Him. Jesus knows us yet still loves us. Any challenges, whether they are addictions, fears, sickness, or broken relationships Jesus, unmerited favor, will protect, deliver, prosper, bring restoration too, and provide for you. 

It is the presence of the Lord in your life that makes you a success! Success the world‘s way may have the appearance of a good life, but it is temporal. In the Bible, we read the story of Joseph. All he had was the presence of Jesus within him. Joseph was completely naked. He had nothing! No bank accounts, no educational qualifications, no natural connections with people of influence, nothing, but he went from the pit to the palace because he had the presence and power of Jesus with him. He also had favor. 

We need to always confess the Lord is with me, and I am a successful person. God already made us successful we just have to take it.

God of course wants us to have material things. He wants us to have the desires of our heart. I have always looked at material things a bit differently. First of all I thank God for everything I have. I know everything comes from Him. It makes me look at prosperity a bit differently. Looking at what I have makes me feel prosperous. 

Taken from Joseph Prince book 100 days of favor. And Ann’s notes too.

Married 42 Years

June 29, 2025

 With our 42nd wedding anniversary coming up I was remembering two years ago when we bought the truck Butch said next year we upgrade the car. I guess he forgot. I reminded him today that two years ago he got that new truck around our anniversary. It’s funny how he never picks up on hints. Well I don’t want to buy a new car right now. However I do want to look around and know what I want when the crashes come. Then I will be ready. Yes they will come and prices will come down on everything Like they always should have been.

I recall our wedding day. It’s was humid. I could feel heat from Butch just standing next to him so when the pastor said take his hand I thought sticky. But as we leave the church and go to the reception we forgot about the humidity as now we’re in air conditioning. Now 42 years later. We are blessed!

Angels watching over us

Early in our marriage when we were living on Northern avenue we had a ledge in our back hall. One day when Butch got home from work he came in and opened his hand and said do you want these? To my surprise he was holding my wedding rings in his hand. I looked at them wondering why he had them. Back then I wore them all the time I never took them off. He told me I found them on the ledge in the back hall. Some would say it’s a mystery? Nope. They must of fallen off and I will always believe angels put them on the ledge. 

Yesterday when the kids were over when it came time to leave keys were missing. I did what I always do I said nothing hid that will not be revealed. Everyone was looking for them. I looked in places they really could not of been. I found myself looking through our small laundry basket. No I didn’t find them. But however when I lifted my head up from the basket there they were on the coat rack. Not hanging on it but sitting up on the ledge part of it. Not sure how they got there if they were set on there and forgotten or angels.

Psalm 91 where it says God gives the angels charge over us. Keeping us safe. Psalm 103 says the angels hearken to our words. I said nothing hidden that will not reveal itself. 

I have seen to much where I know God and the angels were there. Actually they are always there sometimes though you just know. God and the angels are doing such cleanup in our world too. I have been saying for years nothing hid in Jesus name. 

I plead the blood of Jesus over us and assign the angels every morning and night. They are at work. Blessings….

Happy Mother’s Day 2025

I love that I have the opportunity to be a mother. Our girls are grown now but many have heard me say I would take that time back in a heartbeat. I was a stay at home mom and we had plenty of time together.

However I do have that time back with grandchildren. Willa and Jordon have been a treasure. Maybe a handful at times but such a blessing. School is almost out and Jordon will be coming for the summer too. I don’t see Eden as often but we do have times together. I am thinking her and I need to do some more sewing together. 

I love being a mom. I will always be one as well now as a grandmother. Willa tends to make me think more of when our girls were younger. We will miss her in the fall when she goes to school. 

This might sound strange to some but I love looking at my hands. God says He will bless the work of our hands. Indeed in all these years He has. I look at my hands and think of all they have done and the people that I have touched. 

We ride by our use to be homes (started out in an apartment and now we’re in number six) and the memories made in them are all still treasured. Northern avenue where the girls were younger and the rides on bikes to the park Kim now lives down the street from. My favorite the three season porch where the girls played a lot. It was so cozy. Each home has its own memories but northern avenue has the most. 

God created man and woman. The woman’s job or responsibility was to be a nurturer. The world has a different idea but I am going with what God says instead. 

God has the role of the man and the role of the woman. Our world has switched them around in some families. The man is suppose to be the one that goes out and works. He’s not meant to stay at home. In fact it says a lazy man shouldn’t eat. I do know in some cases the position’s are swapped but there are some that it shouldn’t be. The Bible says the husband is to love his wife the way Jesus loves the church. Jesus loves the church - the believer’s unconditionally. The husband is to nurture her also. That is just a few things for the man. 

The woman’s job is much more. Like I said I love being a mom. The Bible doesn’t intend for the woman to go to work and let a sitter bond with there children. In fact you need to be careful who your children bond with. I myself believe God wants every woman to nurse the babies. It’s natural and He gave us that miracle. We need to teach them about Jesus and there is so much more that goes with that. I just loved being there for them when they were younger and now when they are grown. 

So which parent works harder. It’s equal. Most husbands/dads when they come home from work will help out in the home. Since Butch was gone two nights a week overnight he would come home and entertain the girls while I made dinner and such. 

Right after we married we gave our hearts to Jesus and invited Him into our marriage. I have to say way back when to me it was a simpler life. Not complaining now just saying. I once worked with a woman who said the more you have/own in this world the more you have to take care of. She wasn’t wrong and I think of her comment a lot when shopping as an example. 

Thank You Father for the blessings. You are so good to us……
