That Moment When ...

“Let me say first that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for ALL of you, ... ”
Romans 1:8a NLT
Yesterday was Sunday, October 18th, 2015 and it was also the 3rd day of my 50th year here in the land of the dying. 10/18/15 will also go down in history as the day God taught me that I don't know NOTHING! For Really!
You see as I give pause to/ serious thought to the fact my one and only daughter, aka MiMi, was able to precisely coordinate and organize more than 70 people from my past and present life to come together to celebrate me in one place and I knew NOTHING about it, defined the moment that I really realized that I don't know JACK / NOTHING. For really!
Everything that I thought to be happening was so far in the left field of "NOT" that even my spirit man has gone thru a transformation from this. And for the record, that's a real good thing!
So I am thanking God for YOU, a vital part of this personal shift in my life. This is but one of many results of my 50th Surprise Birthday Party.
And I want to sincerely thank YOU for loving me, and participating in the festivities. Needless to say it was BIG heart thumping fun afternoon to say the least.
I have methodically read every word of every card and have shed many tears of joy. Every gift I received was obviously chosen out of a deep abiding love for me, and I am truly overwhelmed by God's love expressed thru you.
Y'all did it. I love you for it and I don't believe I will ever be the same because of "That Moment When ..."
Thank YOU for loving and celebrating me. I love you too, each of you to the moon and back and back to the moon and back and ....
And just like The Apostle Paul, “... I long to visit (with each of ) you so I can (continue to ) bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord. When we get together, I want to (always be used of God to) encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.”
Romans 1:10-12 NLT
