Change

Change is a part of life, and yes there is change coming to our country. I will not be fearful I will rejoice. Not because of the men and or women the world say are orchestrating the change, but because I know Who is in control and on the Throne. People may change , but God is unchanging and none of this surprises Him. I pray that this judgement takes us on our knees to the Cross. As a nation we have walked away from God. California won a victory, marriage is between one man and one woman. Colorado, once again lost. The Personhood Amendment went down in defeat, and my heart is broken, Tuesday night I sat in my living room and sobbed. I sobbed for the children, for the parents, for all of us. And Now we have a President-Elect who is blatantly and openly Pro-Death. I believe in choice, I have the choice to obey the Lord, Who loves me. I thank the Lord everyday for a mother who saw me as a human being and not a choice. She did not even know the Lord, and she was a prostitute, but in that day and time she knew I was a human being. Because she chose life, I am here, my sister is here, her 12 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren are here. Thou Shalt not Kill. That includes the unborn, the sick and the elderly.
Today as my 15 year old son and I were on our way back home after delivering a sewing job I had, we saw a sickly older gentleman sitting at a busy intersection ,there was something about him that touched our hearts. My precious son, said "Mom, there's got to be someway we can help" I do not give money, but I will give food. We went to McDonald's and brought some food back to this man, my son hopped out of the car and went over to this sweet man and gave him the food. This dear man had not eaten in almost 2 weeks, and he said that he had just prayed to the Lord for someone to bring food. We were an answer to his prayer. This old man was badly bruised and beat up, he could hardly move, he had been hit by a car and the driver had just driven away. He had been to and is returning to the VA hospital tomorrow, where they will set his broken arm. He served in Viet Nam and he carries the wounds and scars from that time. He is staying with friends for now and he thanks God for every thing in his life. Good and bad. What a special time with him today. God allowed us to be the bearers of His gifts today , and we were blessed beyond anything we could have dreamed. This man does not drink and he does not smoke. When you look at him you think , drunk bum. When god looks at him, He sees child. I have been humbled and blessed beyond all my expectations. I thank the Lord for my precious son, and for the love God gives everyday. What a joy it is to used of the Lord.
Sometimes I find myself, wallowing in self-pity and then the Lord shows me how He blesses.
Yes, change is coming, I will not fear it, because God is still alive, sovereign and on the throne. I will Praise Him whatever comes. I choose to notice and proclaim His blessings. All my hope is in the Lord, and I thank Him for the "bums" He puts in my life, and for the precious children.
And I will continue to call them what they are. CHILDREN, not CHOICES
