No, I feel I’m not getting close to God these days, I’ve gone off course, lost my momentum and finding it difficult to get back on course, all this shielding and isolation you would think I would’ve had plenty of time but the complete opposite. I had two bad falls on my knee, just when I was getting better I fell on it again and that was ages ago and I am struggling with the pain. An X-ray showed nothing and I told the doctor I didn’t think it was a bone problem, it feels like something keeps moving in my knee that shouldn’t and I only have to press it on something and the pain shoots and puts me back weeks again. Getting in-out of bath is the worse bit. Then on the other leg I’ve over stretched my foot at the bottom and I’m limping all the time. Just call me wreck! The wrecking-bell!
Green, It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety. Dark green is also commonly associated with money. Green has great healing power.
Well one for your knees, have you supported it with joint stockings, knees take time to heal, cartilage might be damaged, footballers get it a lot. Do you play football? lol.
That’s strange, when I click on the link it saids video unavailable! I think I have seen that one. I’ve never been a football fan, I prefer to watch cricket or tennis, not that I’m a huge sports fan because I’m not. I’ve got green eyes also. I like the fresh feeling of green, the trees the grass and plants. I miss good comedy also, where’s all the good comedy shows today, comedy today is not as good as it use to be although I find Mrs Brown quite funny. I think Only Fools and Horses was my favourite.
Try this. btw I love Green eyes. I i went for a stroll yesterday with my son along the river, I was shocked by all the trees etc. It was like a jungle only all tidy. It must be the air getting cleaner because I've never seen it like that before, everything was green, incredible.
My favourite comedy was Benny Hill and a number of others all gone bless 'em. I used to play football stopped by natiol service ugh!!!
I’d forgotten about National Service, I think it was two years? Was you an RAF person?
Something has gone wrong today, our nation was forged on hard work but it’s proving difficult to create a land army today, people don’t seem to want to do that sort of work anymore and yet there’s plenty of land jobs out there and unemployment is sky rocketing but they’re having problems filling the vacancies. When I left college I filled in doing land work until I could find a job that I qualified for, I wanted money to go out and enjoy myself and buy clothes and was prepared to work hard to get some, if schools today are creating a different kind of mindset in their pupils then that will lead to problems. I believe to many people are going to university. Years ago the brainiest people went to uni but today just about anyone can so something has really changed and that can’t be good because those people then think because they have a degree it puts them above jobs like land work and yet uni students years ago worked on the land in the summer to earn money before they went back.. sometimes they took a year out and went to Australia apple picking etc to fund their time there.. it’s not good to be to proud...it’s not good to create a society that relies on foreign people picking our crops because our people are to proud or lazy to do it.
I feel that both you and I are on the same page and the way things go here that's a miracle in itself, nice to know that because you also send meaniful post's which I love reading:)
I've been listening to Elvis since he started especially the ones he sang in churches with the coloured folk, he was so sincere.
These guys do a great job with the song as well. Also, here is the interesting story behind why it was written and how it came about. I copied it from this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLOWWrm_Yjc&list=RDvLOWWrm_Yjc&start_radio=1. I'll leave you with the story and also embed the men singing it.
"Sweet, Sweet Spirit, Doris Akers’ best-loved song, has an interesting history. “One night,” Doris says, “as I prayed with my choir, I felt that they were not ready for the service as they couldn’t seem to settle down. So I said to them, “Now you know that you’re not prayed through: let’s pray again.” And we did. The Holy Spirit came down in a powerful way, and when I finished praying, lost in that powerful Presence, I heard myself saying, “There’s a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place.” Immediately, in the back of my mind I thought, “That’s a terrific title: I wish I had time to write a song about that.” But the pastor had already begun holding the service, waiting for the choir to come in. I had sent word to him. “We’ll be there as soon as I can get them so the Lord can use them.”
“Now, if I don’t write down a song immediately when it comes, or at least scribble some notes of some kind, I’ll forget it: the “inspiration” seems to dissipate and be gone forever. I had a great feeling of regret that there was no time to jot something down, especially as I had felt so strongly that it could be a great song. But I thought, “Well, that’s that, and I may as well forget it.”
“The next morning when I awakened, the song was going over and over in my head. I couldn’t believe it, for as I have said, that was not usually my way. It was as if the Lord, not wanting to let it go, had determined to keep giving it to me until I could get it on paper. There’s another unique thing about this song. For some years after it was published, I used it with my choir many times, but we seemed to be the only ones interested in singing it, and the sheet music just sat on the shelves, gathering dust. Then, in God’s time, someone heard it and recorded it, and in almost no time it was being heard everywhere. I say this for the encouragement of those who sometimes wonder why God seems not to bless their music or ministry as they feel He should. God has His own time-plan, and He wants us to trust Him to know the best answers to “why” and “when” and “how”."
Beautful song with a beautiful story. I have had a number of instances in my life where I have been on my own and closed my eyes in prayer not saying a word but thinking of that sweet spirit Rainy. I tell my subject that things will be OK but you must have a little patience. Them not knowing about my thoughts prayers and trust in the Lord.
I told you about my answer to the heart infarction that I wrote on CZ. I was at my wits end at the time when an answer came at that very moment and it is still working albeit the doctor thought it was his medication that cured me.
I have been saved a number of times and I am have tried so hard to find the reaso why but came to the conclusion that it must have been devine intervention but not until all possible solutions have been thought through thoroughly.
Faith and trust, to me, is absolutely essential Rainy. I do have a story to tell you that I was not aware of at the time and I will tell you another time:)
You have beautiful faith in God and yes, I believe with you that it was a divine interception. I remember your story, although I may have forgotten parts of it.
Thank you so much, well today Freddie my grandchild visited us today, for three days, after he self isolated for 10 weeks, lovely boy, he is fourteen now, my, don't time fly:)
