Writers like to play with words and when we study languages we learn even more about the depth & meaning of words and it enriches our lives.
When we are full of thanks and count our blessings we can not help but be joy ~full.
GRAPE~FULL to me means to be Full of GRATITUDE & JOY!
And wine in the Bible represents JOY just like the Holy Spirit. Since I do not drink alcohol except on very rare occasions ~ I find it fascinating to see the similarity in and out of the Bible about “being under the influence” of good and not so good things!
The Holy Spirit fills us with JOY even in circumstances that would normally be dreary or sad, similar to alcohol but with no “hang over”.
This Thanksgiving, I am most thankful for the time I got to spend with my children & grandchildren recently since they are living long distances away from me and I AM thankful for the HOLY SPIRIT enabling me
to stay JOY~filled when I am missing them and the many that I loved that have departed from this earthly & physical existence. I now, for the past year live the town that my dad loved & died in 23 years ago and my mother also died 20 years ago after moving back to Germany. I also miss other relatives, including my first born son, whose mission on earth was completed in just one week!
I am amazed by the gift of comfort their deaths have gifted me with for others & myself thanks to the HOLY SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST & GOD THE FATHER !
Be COMFORTED by the BEST COMFORTER EVER ~ THE HOLY SPIRT !
JUST ASK GOD, OUR FATHER and BELIEVE THAT WE WILL BE GIVEN JUST WHAT WE NEED ~ JUST WHEN WE NEED IT….THEN WE ALL CAN BE ÜBER THANKFUL TOGETHER~ BRINGING THE KINGDOM COME ON EARTH as it IS IN HEAVEN!
A KINGDOM OF GRACE & TRUTH & PERPETUAL REST & THANKS~ LIVING & LOVING!
Leave a comment & I will pray for you if you like and/or also tell us what YOU ARE MOST THANKFUL FOR THIS YEAR?
Happy THANKSGIVING~ BLESSED THANKS LIVING DAILY!
If you do not have family close by or still living , consider helping out at a thanksgiving gathering in your town. Last year, I was so blessed to go to 5 different ones & welcome strangers as if they were Jesus…and Guess WHAT ….?….
Jesus said , ” …I was hungry and you fed me… I was thirsty & YOU GAVE ME WATER…
I recommend giving directly to the needy yourself and you will get to see lives be transformed. Spending time hearing the stories of the people that we pass in our daily lives & being prepared with a smile, a kind word and some food to share will bless you more than you would ever imagine.
THE WAY TO PREPARE FOR HEAVEN IS TO LIVE HEAVENLY NOW~
BE THANKFUL & GIVE AWAY WHAT YOU HAVE~ like JESUS TAUGHT US!
AND YOU TOO WILL BE FULL OF THANKS & JOY in favor with GOD & ALL!
IT’S LIKE STAYING HI without drugs or alcohol!!!

Jesus’ brother said ” true religion is helping the orphans & widows in their distress”
Jesus also said that when He returns he will be looking for those doing what His Father
said to do and that when we take care of the thirsty & hungry & stranger …and our family too we are doing it as if we were doing it unto JESUS…for WE ARE CREATED IN
GOD’S IMAGE …MALE & FEMALE…and to GOD THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE~ WE NEED TO
TREAT ALL THE SAME ..with LOVE & RESPECT as IF EACH IS A KING & QUEEN…
BECAUSE…that IS OUR DESTINY…to be like the BEST KING OF OUR KINGDOM…
LIKE GOD…TRULY
CARING FOR ALL AND DOING THE RIGHT THING for EACH !
Start your day with the REAL REFRESHMENT OF GOD’S LOVING & LIVING WORDS OF
LIFE~ TRUTH~ FREEDOM~ HOPE~ JOY….a love letter just waiting for you to open!
AND THEN SHARE THE GOOD NEWS WITH OTHERS! and SMILE!~ WE ARE LOVED~
FIND the funnest exercise you can or make it FUN…because if you like it you will keep on doing it!
Invite a friend too!!!!
EVERYONE should walk if possible… DAILY or almost daily !
The fresh air with deep breathing , the sun (or rain:-) on your skin, watching the seasons change , meeting neighbors and making friends or just alone quiet time at the beach or in the woods…Ahhh one of the easiest health secrets there is!
As a mother, a good stroller was always a priority ( and we went through several with our large family!) because walking was such a great stress reliever and/or prevention of stress as well!
Swimming in unchlorinated water, hiking, bicycle~ riding , gardening and dancing with children have always been my some of my favorite exercises…and of course trampolining especially on my mini~ trampoline ( more on that later!) Laughter actually can count to some degree IF you laugh long enough and hard enough to get everything jiggling.
EVERYONE SHOULD LAUGH DAILY !
There are spiritual exercises that each person can enjoy doing as well and actually need to in order to understand life…The Bible talks about each one having at least one gift to be used to build up the his “church” ( like parts of a body~ each doing their part to be healthy) , because God’s church is not an actual building but the people who love God as their loving King and His kingdom principles sharing and doing what you have…some are teachers… some open their homes… some have the gift of healing but all of us can exercise opening our hearts to loving the poor and needy especially the orphans and widows in their time of need…visiting them…on the streets ..in jails…rest homes…or even next door….we do not have to look far…even in the mirror is someone who needs a smile and a kind word!
Speak love to yourself and others!….start now!
SMILE AND count your blessings and then share them!!
“people don’t stop moving because they get old
we get old BECAUSE we stop moving!”
some of the youngest people I know are the 80-90 year young dancers!!!
That is HOW I WANT TO LIVE AND DIE….dancing and laughing all the way…
(In fact I was dancing on the beach just yesterday by myself in the SON~shine of GOD’S amazing LOVE)
SO GET MOVING ~ IT TRULY IS KEY to VIBRANT LIVING!
