Psalms 85 Verse 8-13

I’d rather be in heaven but not why heaven right here on earth, make the best and love our God all the days he blesses my life. I have a lot of friends who love the LORD too and celebrate everyday, and the families of the David Hueper family are awesome people, from all American families no different from others, are God’s chosen people here in America and love God with all their heart and soul, no questions asked. Recent sadness, their father David’s recent passing on October 9, 2013 is in all our hearts AND SOULS, the children, their love is so deep, and Ann, David’s wife of a long time, what can I say the most devoted wife a man can be blessed with and she never asks for anything nor complains, none of them do and they have a love that is so deep. I am so grateful that I can be their friend in a land that is struggling and has very great needs. We thank you Jesus for the care and the love in the hearts of all Americans everywhere and we know you paid for our Freedoms and continue to bless our land, thank you Jesus.

Here is the scripture from the ” Living Bible ” Verses 8-13, goes something like this:

” I am listening carefully to all the Lord is saying—for he speaks peace to his people, his saints, if they will only stop their sinning. Surely his salvation is near to those who reverence him; our land will be filled with his glory. Mercy and truth have met together. Grim justice and peace have kissed! Truth rises from the earth and righteousness smiles down from heaven. Yes, the Lord pours down his blessings on the land and it yields its bountiful crops. Justice goes before him to make a pathway for his steps.”

WE pray this for our people in your Holy Name Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!!! We love you, sir, yes sir!!!

Graceville is a city in Big Stone County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 577 at the2010 census.[6]

Geography[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.58 square miles (1.50 km2), all of it land.[1]
U.S. Route 75 and Minnesota State Highway 28 are the two major highways that run through the community. The town’s main street is named Studdart Avenue. The town is located on the northeast corner of Toqua Lake, a recreational lake surrounded by two campgrounds, a golf course and a shooting club.
Graceville is in a natural area called a wet prairie, which is a mix of prairie land, swamp and numerous small lakes and ponds. In 2011 the Wheaton-Dumont Co-op Elevator began construction on a grain elevator facility east of town. The elevator recently completed construction in time for 2013 harvest (primarily corn, wheat and soybeans).

Toquatennial Days[edit]

In an effort to promote tourism, the Graceville City Council began Toquatennial Days on the first weekend of July in 1988, the 110th Anniversary of the town’s founding. Events included the crowning of “Miss Toquatennial” (entants limited to women who would be seniors at the high school), a “Medallion Hunt”, softball tournament, a Sunday evening ice cream social and drag competition (an apparent parade of past Miss Toquatennials), two street dances (a free “kiddie” dance on Friday night, and the Graceville Volunteer Fire Department Fundraiser dance on Saturday night), and the Saturday morning “Graceville Gallop”, a six kilometer walk/run event that circles Toqua Lake. The events culminated with a fireworks display at dusk on the Sunday evening over Toqua Lake. Events continued to be held annually on the first weekend of July or last weekend of June until the City Council was disbanded in 1998, but several local businesses and the Volunteer Fire Department have independently kept many of the events going every year, including the addition of a 3-on-3 basketball tournament and fire department “water fights”.

For Each Of You, Our Veterans-God’s Soldiers,The Faithful

Blackeye susans-3

 

bouquet-3-C

 

NV foal-4

The good news is upon all of us, regardless of today’s press, I know that God is on our side, Amen!!! The 3 exclamation marks mean The Father, Son and Holy Ghost, now once you see that I do not have to write it out each time, Amen !!! see how easy that is.

You probably think what is Jimmy doing with these 3 images today, 2 Black Eye Susan, cut mums in a vase and a young foal just starting life, what do they all have in common, is there a common denominator in all this? And how do Veterans fit into this type of story, why does Jimmy keep blessing the veterans, why o why? Isn’t it better to bring things to light while there is time, and if you recall what happened to Humpty Dumpty.

I have many, many friends near and far and this is possibly the beginning of one of my most important stories in a month. Abiding in God’s love and go where he calls seems easy enough, but how many of you listen and go do as the soft voice of the Lord ask of you? I guarantee will change your life for the better, trust your inner voice and the first impression is the correct one, don’t let that SOB of a negative critic jump in there, shut’em down right on the spot, and go do your first order that came to you, you’ll start to know that God is in charge once you do.

Getting back to the story at hand, you say Jimmy I do not have all day to read this long winded blog, ok take your time and spend 1 minute today and 1 minute tomorrow, however long, where are you going to be in such a hurry, but in no time you will learn and get the message, no need to rush we have all eternity, Jesus is in control of time now and for ever more and I thank God for his eternal message and while Heaven is awesome, he has asked me to come to earth to abide in love and kindness, no matter how the wind blows, and like our fellow veterans, having spent 6 years in the Army, every Veteran knows how the winds blow while serving, whew and how the wind continues to blow for our veterans. The Lord as our Commander in Chief has already paid our ransom in red blood, on the cross, so I thank you Jesus for this love to save me and all people everywhere regardless of their accepting Jesus, Jesus is still Lord over all, no exceptions, not even one.

Two Scriptures today, 1. Colossians Chapter 1, verse 12 and Jeremiah Chapter 17, verse 7.

This is easy to remember: What the Word FORGET really means”

F-faithful

O-omnipotent Father

R-Royal

G-gratitude

E-everlasting love

T-thanks Be

Now back to the 3 paintings, the Black Eye Susan, mums, and young foal. Any guesses, probably a few?

Like the human race we are sort of in the fall or autumn of and moving toward winter. The Black Eye Susan common wildflower gracing our fields in late summer has the very deep purples and yellow, there are 2 of them. In the mums there are 3 white blossoms in a green vase and the young foal having been just born in the spring in May reminds me that new life continues to come faithfully not listen to the critic, who would try to convince there is no reason, since everything eventually dies, but remember this is the Lord’s Earth, that he created and everything in the air, water and earth and we are to celebrate his gift of life, to live abundantly and when things get tough, I defer immediately to Jesus and in his name all is possible.

The first painting 2 flowers the second painting 3 flowers so that is 23, and Psalm 23 comes to mind, and the foal with 4 legs reminds me of all living things are possible because of, 3 in 1-!!! and every living thing is connected to !!! making 4 in 1, hence the 4 legs that hold the grown horse to the earth are possible because of God.

May everyone have peace and love, and If I can paint for you speak up, I love to work.

Just for a day peace and understanding and bringing people closer to one another. Seems that families seem we are not blood related but the whole human race is from the blood of Abraham, and a stranger is just a friend I have not got a chance to visit at this time.

My wish is that families open their homes to others and help many more in a year’s time, start today, and never forget we are strong together, please connect, no one left behind but all together. Your love will heal and make whole once again to give is the gift of receiving, yep, and a dog ( spelled backward is God, awesome) will help heal your heart too, they love unconditionally and I have a very great dog in Bubba our Black lab, I am sharing an image, an oil painting of him and God has blessed me so richly not in things, but in love and so many many loving friends too.

I’d like to share a story about a young American Artist his name is Dylan Pullis and such a very gifted student a Senior in Graceville, MN High School, parents Craig and Stacey Pullis. I am so lucky to know this wonderful artist and he painted a great work of art a few years ago, and gifted to me, that is a treasure to me and is my studio. I have been mentoring Dylan and encouraging the past few years. Dylan is going to attend college in the arts and I know that he’ll be so good at whatever he does.

Have a great day and may your day be filled with love and peace.

” Grief, 5 Stages Presented by Elisabeth Kubler Ross

Posted on by
Reply

grey owl-3The pass of loved ones, or any form of death is a very stressful time for the family after a death in the family. The odd thing is that the sequence as studies by Kuber Ross is not a theory but what actually happens to each of us and pretty much in this sequence. Grief is not a laughing matter and fixing is not like putting a band aid on a stubbed toe, far from it.

The 5 stages are 1.bargining 2. anger 3. depression 4 denial 5. denial then acceptance

Please get a copy of Kubler Roos book ” On death and dying” and try to help others trying to cope with a death in the family.

Please help others struggling with their grief, when you can, and keep the faith and keep praying and calling on Jesus name.

The years come and the years go and father time keeps moving and as the sun rises each morning, God grants us the wisdom of the ages to live our life in abundance and  happiness, most importantly in freedom.

Mary has stood the test of time seeing WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraq War and the list goes on and on, but most importantly since I have known her starting in 1995 until today, she has never said one word against me and while that doesn’t sound like much listen to how people talk about their own family let alone a son-in-law who is only related since being married to her daughter. I love Mary like my own mom, who has since passed away in August 2009 at the age of 89, just short of hitting 90 years of age, and that is awesome too.Mary’s prayers are heart felt and I know when she prays, they are soft and full of love for Marge and I, we both love her with all our hearts.

Happy Birthday next week on Sunday, October 27 th, Mary being 92 is just so wonderful and awesome, and we’ll celebrate and have a great time. Here is a painting that I am gifting to her, an original oil painting on a 9″ x 12″ x 3/8″ True Gesso panel, and is called, ” Noel” for the coming of Jesus and this orchid is a beautiful array of blossoms. Enjoy the most blessed day and may your day be filled with joy and much happiness.

He subdues the nations before us, and will personally select his choicest blessings for his Jewish people — the very best for those he loves.”

Sing In Praises, Thank You Father

All my days I have loved to sing so when you get a chance to support some artists singing your favorite sounds and love to sing, go rock. Being dedicated to your love in music is good and keeps your soul loving and flowing.

Losing parents is no cake walk, the Faith Of Our Fathers, Holy Faith, comes to mind and being able to send them on their way to heaven with blessings is so hard to do. Turning rain into sunshine  for the rest of time never letting go of their love, some awesome stuff, very heart felt, all I know is that I love them for all time. It Is like starting over in life when a parent dies and is hard to keep happy. I have known love so deep with my parents they gave me life yes, but God created me, so I remember all the lovely things over all the years and never wanted to see them go, no never, so God’s grace is over me to help soothe my heart and soul. And family children and spouses are loving but is different than a parents love.

For all you veterans All men and women who have been struggling I have so much gratitude for you and you gave me so much security and you hear all our pain, but you help to make a safe memory and bring security to America, giving of your lives and most of all the passion you have to follow our true commander in chief, our Lord, Jesus. The Lord does so much for me and everyone peace be yours today.

John 16 verse 23-24

” But I will send you the Comforter—the Holy you a  Sprit, the source of all truth. He will come to you from the Father and will tell you all about me. And you also must tell everyone about me, because you have been with me from the very beginning.”

” At that time you won’t need to ask me for anything, for you can go directly to the Father and ask him, and he will give you what you ask for because you use my name. You haven’t tried this before, [ but begin now]. Ask, using my name and you will receive, and your cup of joy will overflow.”

” Yet I will not be alone, For the Father is with me. I have told you all this so that you will have peace of heart and mind. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows; but cheer up, for I have overcome the world.”

” I guarded them so that not one would perish, except the son of hell, as the Scripture foretold.”

” I have told them many things while I was with them so that they would be filled with my joy.”

” Make them pure and holy through teaching Tis Thee I See-JS so they will be in us, and the world will believe you sent me.”

Amen and Amen!!!
