I remember the first time I heard GOD very loudly in my mind Pig.

Good Morning

Pig told me she hears GOD all the time .

Wow, that’s amazing Pig.

How do you do it?

That’s easy,Pig said.

Everytime you read the Bible to me.

I hear GOD and HIS voice.

Funny Pig.

I love that

I hear HIM too.

It's a new day

A new week

Your verse of the day will be

Separately sent ..

Yesterday Pig,

I was prompted by the voice of GOD.

I was in Chuch and I felt an urgency

to leave a little early from church this time.

I ended up sharing another memory about my

Mother..

This was a new restaurant I saw that I always seem to Drive by and today I thought it would be fun place to have lunch at.

Feeling a little off not being in my same routine because

I actually left church early.

And it's funny I don't normally do that.

I walked in and was greeted by a smile by the hostess.

As she found the only seat available for me that I didn't have to wait for 20 or 30 minutes for to be seated.

It was located in the corner of the bar in the restaurant that allowed you to eat food in there.

I saw this older couple actually very funny because they were the same ages as me.

That's a story on its own but anyway let me continue.

A nice couple eating and having water and having a bar drink.

As I brought my green tea in from Starbucks

And they all thought it looked very healthy so it was an ice breaker into the conversation .

It turned out to be what Pig

and I call a GOD MOMENT TO SHARE CHRIST

and HIS GREAT LOVE.

As questions were exchanged.

I started talking about GOD.

And my Mother and her struggles and lessons learned throughout her life and  when she realized what true love was.

The appreciation not only of life through her search but actually experiencing  the greatest love of ALL.

What was it Pig asked?

I answered.

It was GODS LOVE.

AND

HIS FORGIVENESS that was given to her finally in her almost last days of her life.

She finally stopped resisting the Real love that lasts forever that was told to her many times in her lifetime

.

My Mother was married 7 times some lasting only a day or a week.

Or a month some for years and widowed on one

The other two died later after they had already separated.

This life story of My Mother I was sharing was her search of love and heartaches and disappointments.

While she was always looking for the Cinderella story that we all do and hope for that it's for real in some way before we really

find the greatest love of all which is John 3:16 in the Bible .

The couple listened intently .

As I continued sharing about different kinds of love that many have written songs about it for our greater understanding.

And just as others do they didn't realize love at all.

This couple went to church and

Even hearing the songs and who JESUS was ?

And is everything we need.

And that

HE was ALWAYS the answer.

And Pig

To let you know

HE JESUS is always

THE ANSWER.

Sad IT TAKES SO LONG for us

OR

When we Miss it

even when truth is told to us

and we still don't listen.

And then

we continue searching in different avenues

like many of us seem to do.

Until we hear the right song that inspires us or someone helps us to hear the truth AGAIN  or the mercy of GOD wakes us up inside.

Or

someone shares again and again in different ways to us

or to hear the truth for the first time.

That Jesus came to rescue us from Heaven to earth.

Born as a human baby

Fully man fully GOD.

Born in Bethlehem in manger.

By a Virgin girl named Mary

Over Shadowed her by

THE HOLY SPRIT OF GOD

Her SON would be Named

JESUS

HE would have no Sin but born of a human woman

Joseph would stand by Mary and help her raise THE SON OF GOD

HE WAS THE PROMISED ONE

THE MESSIAH

KING OF KINGS

AND

LORD OF LORDS   

THIS IS THE CHRISTMAS STORY

JESUS WOULD be born to

Suffer and die for all mankind.

HE

died for all the sins

of

The world

PAST

PRESENT

and

FUTURE

And rose again on the third day

Like it said HE would in

THE BIBLE

THE WORDS

of TRUTH AND PROMISES

THIS IS THE EASTER STORY

That gives eternal life to all that says

YES to JESUS

A GIFT GIVEN

NOT EARNED

JUST BELIEVE AND CONFESS

THAT JESUS IS MY LORD

Finally

THE GOD MOMENT HAPPENS

To us

in the right time of life when we are ready to finally hear

And ask HIM INTO OUR HEARTS.

Pig responded

A song of LOVE Like

The

JESUS loves me song?

Yes, Pig.

The Jesus loves me song ?

Yes.

So simple that a child can understand.

That is the real song of love❤️

And

That IS the song to all who excepts HIM as

Their LORD AND SAVIOR

It just takes minutes to BELIEVE for some

and a long time sometimes for others

To realize it ..

Pig seemed happy that she understood the TRUTH

called THE GOSPEL MESSAGE

As she sat closer by me to listen.

In this life Pig we ask?

What is this thing called love??

This funny thing called love?

And who can solve its mysteries?

Why would it make a fool of me?

That Pig was another

Part of a song.

My Mother as a child would have me and my sister sing that as we would take turns we would push on pedals on our

player piano.

Look up on utube to see how it works.

They had those kind of pianos in Shakeys Pizza  Parlors

And we had one at our house.

We played All kinds of

Songs of love

And Traditional church songs of

Forgiveness and

then sing the happy and the pain of love songs.

The songs of great memories of

love to

Remember just like they do on the radio now.

and

then re live THEM over and over again..

Moments in Mothers life and my Granny's life too.

They would tell me stories about the good old days and then they would choose piano rolls for me to sing and then have the

memories come back and then share more stories.

Memories of happy moments past by just like you would about your favorite food  you think about at the holidays..

Pig interrupts

Like pancakes ?

I responded.

Well that's definitely your food memory.

But your song would be like an old Shirley Temple movie that sang

On good ship Lolly pop.

It's a fun ship into bed you hop and dream away

On the good ship Lolly pop.

And...

If you eat to much

Ooh ooh.

You would wake with a tummy ache.

But that song is not the quite same thing Pig.

I know you love food.

But I am talking about loving forever

A person not food..

Like

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life..

Wanting to be with the one you think is the one you will love forever.

Great lyrics.

Great message.

AMAZING Love story of a forever marriage.

Mother always said, thats just what she always wanted.

What she was looking for.

But looked for love in all the wrong places and

They wrote another Country song about that too.

Without knowing GOD as your SAVIOR and LORD having HIM guide you it doesn't work very well for a forever marriage.

THE REALITY IS IT DOESN’T WORK.

However,

Mother found her joy and love in

All of her children.

The beauty of the day and reading books and

Having many to do projects and her animals.

She rescued many from the local 7-11 stores by our houses and I helped her feed them.

I helped with my cooking of the left overs to make the stews to pour over the dog crumbles as well as food we would buy.

We both did try and find them all homes as they all stayed with us and until then they had a home.

Some had their last meal as Mother comforted them as she made little beds of towels for them and then in the morning some died.

Mother was sad but she said to me

they knew that just knowing someone loved them for that moment and had a full belly was good to think about.

As for the others they stayed for a long time.

The dogs were always so grateful.

They lived Mother very much.

Pig listened and remained very still by me without talking as I continued sharing my Stories.

As I continued saying,

Mother Counted her blessings daily and helped me count mine too.

Mother tried to cook fun things for us all

on a limited budget and would bake and make fudge and cookies and Pancakes.

Fun Memories to re visit.

We all had special fond memories we had

Together .

Memories Past to talk about that were fun and affordable as all us would go on long car rides called vacations and remember Singing our car songs.

And Pig asked

What is that ?

Fun songs of the day we would sing as children.

Like songs she will be coming around the mountain when she comes,

or Michael row the boat a shore,

or the little blue man that said

I love you.

I love you to bits.

Or how much is that puppy in the window ?

Songs to keep you going on long trips with no radio reception.

As we visit a realitive far away.

Oh, Pig said.

That Sounds fun.

It was Pig.

At home Mother would read to us the bed time stories.

Pig interrupted.

And

Then Pig asked were there any Pig stories?

Yes, Pig.

The three little pigs and she would explain what it meant.

About family and not taking the lazy or the easy way out in life.

To be sincere in what you do.

By just using sticks or straw to build a house will not last and there was not much planning in it.

But to build a life strong with a strong foundation and to think it out and build something long lasting like a brick house made together that was the way to go that you can pass on to your family and your next family that they too will

be safe warm and dry..

Then she would Read inspiring words

In many books of history and accomplishments

made by leaders or children with ideas that were

Realized by a dream or strong desire to succeed

And the desire to make this world a better place.

Mother was Always encouraging us to hope and believe in ourselves and to do that too.

Mother still kept her searching for fun stories that had words of wisdom in more books until her very last moments and her last words here on earth.

Her Last words ?

Pig asked?

Yes, Pig.

She had an operation in her head that didn't go well.

and then Mother went into a coma.

That means a long sleep you don’t wake up in.

And would be placed in several hospitals.

I would read to her every where she went .

Sharing GODs LOVE.

And

That GOD was a jealous GOD

And to have no other GOD but HIM.

Like it says in the first commandment

In THE BIBLE.

As I was reading to her what it was saying in this book about how to share Christ love and forgiveness the

moments of mercy came from GOD

into the room,

as I was saying what she needed to do to get right with

GOD.

As I said,

To Mother you need to denounce

What's that mean?

Pig asked .

What does that mean?

as she interrupted me again.

It means to take back the words or promise to think a certain way of thinking or pledge

To These other GODs you love that

She would hold on to.

As She liked every isms and so many religions that you can think of

And

the beautiful thoughts of possibilities  that was taking her away from THE TRUTH and THEN as she briefly came out of this coma

I was still reading to her not noticing

her waking up.

As I spoke the prayer just thinking she would say it in her heart and not speaking out loud .

I said, THAT you need to denounce these GODs

And then Mother woke up.

And

Mother,said YES.

I said.

In Jesus name ?

YES....she said

Then

Mother fell back a sleep.

I was kind of in shock of what she just did.

Her body prior was tense and now relaxed.

Mother had prayed and gave her life to Christ

And the greatest moment of peace and reassurance had come over her and in her..

She ever had.

The room was now filled with the presence of GOD you feel when you enter church.

Mother knew now for sure she was loved and forgiven.

and

she would never be alone again.

With a  gentle smile as she laid there that you ever saw.

Mother had waited so long to know the greatest love of all.

That's lasts for eternity.

The room instantly filled with the presence of Christ and it just continued to pour in the room.

I felt like I was in church in her hospital room.

I don't know how long I sat there ?

A voice came into my mind

And said.

As I recognized that voice of GOD.

You have just witnessed a miracle.

My heart was set to Peace as well as excitement.

I marveled to a Prayer I had in my heart for years for my Mother to Know GOD

like me.

To hear GOD in my mind and confirm what was happening.

I drove home.

I don't remember who I shared with first

I was so excited.

Days went by as her hospital was far away to drive.

And I kept thinking of her and

To know soon

I would read to her again.

To read the Bible later to her as I would remember the stories she use to read to us every night as children.

Her stories of fairy tale stories of lessons of life and struggles

and

then the one day as I was reading to know now she would finally understand what was real and the answered to life.

What an honor to share to her the kindness given to me as a child.

She really knew this love.. She felt the presence of God.

The love that.

Truly Passing all understanding of this life here to describe that moment in its fullness.

To experience this love is Amazing,

And Pig

just know we can have a moment like this with GOD,

anytime we want,

by Praying.

This love ignites the soul every day we live

Here..

How do we get this again ?

Pig asked.

By reading GODs WORD.

and

Praying Pig.

Realizing every day it is HE who made you.

Knows you.

Sees you.

Hears you.

Knows what you need.

Feels your pain.

And

Gives you comfort and helps YOU through it all.

To know

You are not alone..

This love HE gives us is the more love we desire

As we take time to know

GOD.

As we put HIM first

when we Sing and Pray.

and

We read HIS WORDS

and

THEN

Repeat..

AND....

As you do

Your desires change.

Your ears hear better.

And you feel better.

And THEN you have Peace and Joy

And Pig.

Do you know THIS ?

What ?

Pig asked.

HE GiVES

The ability to YOU to give to others more LOVE too.

This love is more than a Mothers love

HE gives YOU.

PEACE deep within your SOUL and SPIRIT and PATIENCE and KINDNESS and GOODNESS and GOODWILL

And..and.. and...

It's an AMAZING LOVE.

And there is a song about that one too..

Utube it..

You will really enjoy it.

As MOTHER went back into the coma

Again .

Her body relaxed and finally was at peace

And before the moment she actually left us

to go to heaven.

She woke up again with me and her grandchildren.

She sat up on her own without any help and with no slur to her speech.

She said to US with a smile.

I am ok.

Mother said.

I am alright.

With the BIGGEST SMILE I want to say that I will remember forever,

And went right back to sleep.

We all took turns kissing her goodbye

With tears in our eyes.

But knowing all was well

Because

She had just said so ...

The next day as my sisters arrived

She stayed with them a little while longer as to say goodbye just

Listening to them and like a Mother would do.

I would also guess praying for them TOO.

Because then it was to time to leave and

Mother never woke up again.

Mother then went to into the deep sleep of eternity.

As my sisters called me to say she had just  left.

That's sad.

Pig said.

No Pig.

I want you to know she was ready to go now.

She finally received what she was looking for her whole life.

She finally was on her way to see the one who created her and

That gave her the new life full of love.

In her and all around her that she would have forever.

Pig as you know,

She doesn't seem to be gone to me or you

AT ALL.

You know

We write about her all the time what she did in her life or tell stories of what I have learned from her to bring her close to me.

I have great peace and joy about

Remembering her greeting to me and the children

That saying to us she was ok.

She was alright and to let everyone know for thier loved ones too

that someday we will meet together again

And hug and tell stories like before and sing.

Except it will be in the PRESENCE  of GOD.

I can hardly wait.

But until that day comes.

We need to do what we are to do

Here on earth and Share the love of GOD

and HIS FORGIVENESS.

Pig interrupts.

I want to do that too..

But Pig

you do that now.

I do ?

Pig answered.

Yes.

I replied

every time we write stories together

You are right.

Pig said

Yes, I do.

I am glad we are together.

Pig,said.

I replied,

Me too.

Pig Looked up at me and smiled..

I am Ready to start the day..

With

PANCAKES PRAYER AND PRAISE.

I hope you are ready to start your day

Too.

Just knowing how much

You are loved ❤️

Mother was so happy to finally know too...

As she was able now to sing the song,

It is well with my soul..

Pig interrupts again.

And then

Pig said,

I know I am loved too..

Yes, You are Pig.

I said.

And by so many

I am?

Pig replied.

Yes, Pig.

I said

You are loved because you are fat and fluffy and

you love PANCAKES

and PRAYER  and

you are FUNNY to look at and

You make people laugh.

She smiled and was very happy about that..

As she said

To know you are loved.

I love that.

Pig said and

Because GOD SAYS SO..

Amen

I said

And

This is our story

You all have a happy day.

Reading HIS WORD

and doing what it says.

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. — Revelation 22:14(KJV)
