“I don’t work the program today -I live it”.

George, and Granvilke, interestingly enough, Were the same age as my father who was absent ALL OF MY LIFE -GOD ALWAYS GIVES US WHAT WE NEED.

WHEN WE THINK WE KNOW. WHAT WE NEED (AND DON’T GET IT); WE’RE DISAPPOINTED IN GOD). WHEN GOD GIVES US WHAT WE NEED (TRULY); WE OFTEN MISS THAT “LOVE AND GRACIOUSNESS” GOD HAS SHOWN US (WE have no clue WE needed that -“pearls before swine” -we have no clue GOD in His infinite love…)! I heard the other day that “God is so extraordinary in His love for us that, WE OFTEN FAIL TO RECOGNIZE HIS “ACTS OF LOVE”, BECAUSE IN OUR STATE OF UNWORTHINESS (IN A WORLD WHICH OFTEN FAILS TO RECOGNIZE EVEN WHEN IT IS WARRANTED), WE SIMPLY FAIL TO MAKE THE CONNECTION -THAT IT IS GOD, IN HIS INFINITE LOVE, ACTING IN OUR LIVES BOTH “IN SPITE OF AND BECAUSE OF”! GOD IS WHO HE IS -HE DOESN’T CHANGE WITH THE TIMES -HE DOESN’T CHANGE WITH THE CIRCUMSTANCE -HE DOESN’T CHANGE WITH THE PERSONALITY (OR SOUL) BEFORE HIM. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN (ATTEMPTING) LOVING OTHERS -AND BEING LOVE!

THE PURER THE MESSAGE -THE GREATER THE UPHEAVAL!

MAN IS ALWAYS LOOKING TO MAKE, LEAVE HIS OR HER MARK (CHANGE) -AND IF IT AIN’T BROKE, FIXIT ANYWAYS, SO I CAN LEAVE “MY MARK” ANYWAYS.

******MY STORY SUBMITTED; IT CAME UP IN THE G/C THIS MORNING THAT PERSONAL STORIES WERE B3ING ACCEPTED FOE THE 5TH EDITION OF THE “BIG-BOOK” SCHEDULED FOR PRINT IN 2-3 YEARS.

“When” (Donnal spoke 7 am’r) I was very young, I had major acne issues -I ran across a man from 9th-grade while in my early 20s who (I hadn’t seen in 8 or 10 years) couldn’t believe how smooth my face was. God 🙏
