Pig, God and Me Remembering our beginnings to life

Good Morning

Pig is still in bed and wants her breakfast served to her in bed.

Funny Pig.

I know Pig that sometimes you just want to stay in bed and do nothing.

I looked at her as I was talking to her and she ignored me.

So, I said nothing back to her no response.

Funny, life can be like that where you talk or do everything you can to keep your routine up for the day and their is no response.

No notice.

No appreciation of your efforts.

I wonder if GOD feels like that?

GOD The FATHER

GOD THE SON

GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO MADE US ALL FROM THE BEGINNING.

In THE BOOK of GENESIS

We as people, do we notice?

The sunrise and sunset?

Life goes on as usual.

Get up for Breakfast.

Go to work or school.

Eat lunch.

Come home and eat dinner.

Get ready to take a bath or shower.

Get clothes ready for tomorrow.

Feed animals and water outside.

Go to bed and begin again.

Food grows in the fields whether grain or fruit or vegtable or animal and then it just appears in the grocery stores.

Life going on from day to day.

Pig called out from her new bed, that doesn't sound fun or interesting or having anything that causes Joy.

You are absoulutely right Pig.

I am ?

Yes Pig.

If you didn't know JESUS as Savior and Lord your life would continue without the true Joy of life and the fun we have together.

Your interuptions in life that are man made holidays like January 1.

New Years Day a time to get dressed upand go out and traditionally to drink to celebrate the New year.

With of course a planned uber or taxi driver to take you home safely.

Your next Holiday Valentines Day February 14th, to send flowers or candy to the ones you love.

St. Patricks day March 17 th, that has been diminished to just wearing Green and eating cornbeef and cabbage and drink beer .

And talk about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and the little wee People called leprechauns and to Party its all without GOD except, Thanksgiving. One of my favorite holidays. Why Pig asked. Because you cook? No, because everyone knows instictively to be Thankful. No arguments, just Peace and singing and stories of past Thanksgivings.

Thanksgiving at least mentions to be grateful to GOD and things like family and health and family and friends that GOD is even mentioned that someone that either knows GOD that gets to pray but to say no more.

If no one Knows GOD you say,

Thank you to GOD as you bow your head and say

Amen.

Not even knowing who it is that you are giving Thanks too?

Thats kinda sad, Pig said.

I know I replied. But I was Like that long ago.

You were? Pig said.

Yes, Pig.

You don't know until you do. That makes sense, Pig said.

Then as life goes on to get together again with hobbies and see movies and participate or watch sports to gather together.

Let us not forget Television and your computer and your precious phone that you can't live without.

I am skipping months but You have April and The Easter bunny and chocolate and hiding eggs and maybe an invitation to church.

Pig said, I love chocolate and hard boiled eggs with colors at least to look at them they are

Pretty.

Yes Pig but is that EASTER?

No, Pig said.

Then at the end of the year you have Santa Claus and Snowmen and Rudolf the red nose reindeer with cute Movies and cartoons and then with decorated trees and presents.

Pig said, I love presents and fun movies about Santa.

I know you do Pig.

But is that Christmas?

No, Pig said.

I didn't mention the holidays to give honor to Military and GOD and their Sacrafice to Memorial Day and Veterans day and Armed Forces day in May that we celebrate all those that serve our Country.

I do that now because when we celebrate those as we give honor to you.

But do we?

I have asked in lines at check outs in grocery stores and the only conversation is another day off to go and do something fun.

Pig asked, Do I blame them?

Yes and no Pig.

With the scenario of not being in touch with life or the Life giver?

They are oblivious and they are just glad they are alive and their families safe.

The Holiday moment given to them to enjoying the day because tomorrow another day to go back to work or school.

We as a people don't seem to know or even notice why with all the flags up why we are getting that day to rest and enjoy the moment of freedom and then not to ealize all the sacrafices given for us to receive the days we enjoyed free.

Pig, that was me over 40 years ago.

Yes, Pig. As she listened to every word.

We just followed along and enjoyed all the holidays and sport events and days off we worked every day it seemed.

We took care of our families and got the children to school and thats what we called life.

We trusted those we elected.

We voted.

We paid our taxes.

We pledge alliagiance to the flag at sports events. Or wherever an event had the flag.

We sang the National Athem.

Then it happened Pig. What? she said.

I had an apartment manager shared with me who JESUS was and how it changed her life.

She had just mentioned HIS NAME. That was all and she smiled and invited me down to her condo anytime.

Days later I had a water leak.

I had a Plumber arrive and I had a question to ask her because the plumber said, that all people that divorce go to hell.

The Plumber and I were discussing life and decisions people make in their life whether right or wrong.

I argued with him and I didn't know GOD but I knew that GOD would be loving and forgiving

over a mistake made and that just can't be true.

So, I left and walked two doors down and asked her.

Vivian had me sit down in one of those smushy couches that sink you in there. She listened and smiled and said, No, thats not true.

I was glad and said, I thought so.

She apolygized to me regarding the Plumber giving me his opinion but you would know a lie if you knew about GODs' WORDS.

She asked me, would I like to know JESUS?

I said, sure.

Vivian said, she had just written this Prayer for me if I ever stopped by and she smiled again and Vivian said, this is for you.

I read the Prayer out loud.

It was very detailed prayer, denying Satan in my life in JESUS NAME and by excepting the baby that was born in the manger as THE SON OF GOD born in Bethlehem by a virgin girl named Mary and her Husband Joseph to help her to be the Step Father to help raise,

THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.

HIS NAME would be called JESUS.

HE was born to save all mankind from thier Sins.

Past

Present

and

Future.

Vivian explained that is what the true CHRISTMAS IS.

Pig interupted,

You didn't know that? No, Pig not really.

You don't really know until someone shares with you and helps you to understand the

GIFT of LIFE.

Then what happened? Pig asked.

Vivian explained that JESUS suffered and died for all mankind

They put HIM on a cross and HE died and rose again 3 days later.

Death could not hold HIM.

HE WAS GOD.

HE did what HE was sent to do by HIS FATHER in HEAVEN to rescue all MANKIND from

the separation to HIM.

What separated us?

Pig asked. Our SINS, Pig.

AS I continued

Now we can Pray in THE NAME OF JESUS

and

GOD THE FATHER HEARS US.

Just like in THE LORDS PRAYER.

Forgives us as if we never did anything wrong.

Pig, it is called being BORN again.

Free from our sins and weights of life and decisions and gulit and shame.

You are made brand new.

You can now see and understand life now.

It was like a veil or like a pair dark sunglasses over your eyes removed now so you see clearly.

Your mind is awake and you seem to understand clearly.

You are now a Child of THE MOST HIGH GOD.

Your covering of CHRIST is like a blanket over you.

THIS IS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST THAT WAS SHED FOR YOU ON THE CROSS WASHES YOU AS CLEAN AND WHITE AS SNOW.

Your name has been written in THE BOOK OF LIFE IN HEAVEN.

You are now filled with THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD.

When did that happen?

Pig asked.

The moment you said, YES to JESUS.

I felt a weight taken off my shoulders and I felt lighter and I jumped out of that couch that

was holding me in.

I told her, Thank you.

I Ran home, Pig interupted again.

Yes Pig, don't be funny.

She is looking at me as if to tease me that I couldn't actually run.

Funny Pig, as she smiled as I told her it was only three doors down.

Oh, she said.

But Pig, I was so excited if it was a mile I think I could of done it Pig.

Even though I had just had my baby boy.

I opened the door and called out to my husband and told him that I have just excepted JESUS CHRIST AS MY SAVIOR AND LORD.

He replied, Oh no, she has got religion.

That didn't phase me.

I was so happy.

I shared with my daughter and she wanted JESUS in her heart too. She became calm and happy as she said, Amen.

I asked my husband if I could read to him. This is the short version and he said ok, but only 5 minutes.

Our baby was sick and wouldn't accept my breast milk, real milk, goat milk,formula nothing was working and we were one step from going to the Childrens hospital.

Logan and Vivian and Pascia their daughter, came over and asked if they could pray for the baby?

I said, Yes. However my husband didn't believe.

They asked for them to go up out of the room but they could still see at a distance.

Then I was asked to get some oil.

The only oil I had was Crisco.

I poured a little in a dish and handed it to them.

I brought the baby over to be prayed for as he remained in my arms.

They all Prayed a simple Prayer and asked me did I believe that JESUS could heal your baby? I said I believe. They prayed to have this baby healed in JESUS NAME.

AMEN.

They had placed a drop of oil on his forehead.

We hugged and said, We believe he is healed and healing was on the way.

They left.

I placed the baby in the bed. I propped him up like I always did.

I either slept in his room or by him close to suck out his nose for breathing.

In faith I gave him real whole mik.

The baby cried and thats how babies get more air through their mouth and my husband said You are hoping to hard. I rebuked him JESUS NAME in a tone that he never challenge me again.

This was Day one and no changes.

Day two no changes, as I sucked out his nose and continued to believe.

Day three, I had him in his Jolly Jumper that helps him to be straight up and I had pillows around him so he had support and he could move himself even though barely only a month old to touch the floor by his foot.

He seemed happy.

It is like a hammock swing for babies.

Pig said,I want one.

No Pig, No hammock.

Ok,she said.

With the jumper babies can touch the floor they are able to move back and forth and its fun for them.

I had that for my daughter too.

My Mother said, that was a life saver to be able to clean and watch the baby at the same time. So thats what I was doing.

Then, time past by and the baby did not cry.

I picked him up and looked at him and said, Are you are healed?

Yes, He was healed.

He smiled at me.

I changed his diaper and placed him into his high chair as I gave him his cereal and applesauce.

My daughter was having her lunch at the table to looking at her baby brother.

Then she looked at me.

She said, in the sweetest voice, my brother is healed isn't he.

I said Yes, as he set contently in his chair.

We both watched him as he was so happy and still.

My daughter said, Are you going to tell Daddy?

No, I said. He needs to see for himself.

My daughter understood and was happy with my answer.

It took only minutes for his arrival home and I had the 700 club on.

He sat at the table and look at the baby and then looked at us, as we said nothing.

My husband looked at me and my daughter again and then the baby.

Then he said, He is healed isn't he?

I said, Yes.

He said nothing more just still and thinking.

He got up from the table as soon as the invitation to accept Christ from 700 club was spoken.

The TV program was saying as they asked Again.

Come and Pray with us if you want to accept

JESUS into your heart.

My daughter was watching him as my back was to him.

My daughter whispered to me and said Daddy is on his knees and praying.

I quickly gave a quick look.

I whispered back to her.

Lets not bother him dear.

We both smiled at each other and our new adventure began.

What adventure? Pig asked.

Sharing JESUS with our family and everyone we met.

But that Pig, is another story.

When did you find me ? A few years later.

I will tell your story too.

Pig was Happy and said, I can hardly wait.

Funny Pig.
