It's really weird how GOD works. HIS ability to know what's going to happen every second of eternity from the very beginning lets HIM put just the right things in just the right place at just the right time. For instance, HE knew some day I was going to convert the slopped hill along the canal in our backyard into a cliff by filling in the section with dead tree trunks (left over from hurricane Charlie - thanks again GOD), rocks and dirt. I wasn't sure how I'd hold it together but GOD knew, so years ago HE found a way for someone else to leave several metal rods in the vacant lot next door. I wrapped those medal rods around the base of the trees (which HE also put there for me) at the edge of the slopped ground next to the canal. Those metal rods have helped to keep the cliff in place and I believe they provided a lighting rod to keep our house safe. That's the other advantage of having GOD'S help. HE plans ahead and makes you find additional uses for the work you're doing before you know about it.

Now just before I heard this homily, I watched a different video:

The other video belongs to GOD'S FRUITS website, so I don't feel right putting it on this site. Instead I'll provide the link to their page so you can watch the video legally. Just click on the link below (or copy the link address and paste it into your browser address) but get ready to cry.

That second video (funeral video) got me to thinking about my funeral. I started thinking about creating a FACEBOOK FUNERAL PAGE and saving a copy of that video on it. So by the time I move on I'll have all the tools needed for my perfect funeral and it'll be the why I want it. Actually, I've been thinking about my funeral service for some time but I hadn't worked on it yet. I guess I've been waiting for GOD to help me do it right and now I know HE'S on the job.

GOD can be so helpful if we listen to HIM and do the things HE'S telling us to do via the HINTS HE gives us. GOD wants us to learn and trust HIM, so HE doesn't give us all the answers at once. They come in little pieces that we have to pick up and use along the way. If we pick up the right pieces, we'll find it easy to put together the puzzle at the right time. Just don't rush it because there might be more pieces to find. I've forced a few puzzles together before GOD was ready and I didn't get the perfect creation. You'll know when it NOT the right time or when GOD wants you to think about what you're doing before you do it. In my case, I was having problems putting an on/off switch on a water pipe. I couldn't understand why it was so hard to do. I got mad and made it work only to find out that I put the switch below ground. Now I have to dig it out whenever I want to work on that section of pipe. I know GOD was warning me that I was doing it wrong but I was in a hurry and didn't stop to think about what HE wanted me to know. Oh well, it's a lesson I needed to learn but as a foolish human I know I'll make that mistake again. Hopefully, not as often.
