THANKSGIVING FOR MAY 29, 2015:

I am so thankful for FAVOR.  God comes in and works things out in a way that you KNOW that it was God's Favor.  I remember times of Hopelessness when the Holy Spirit went ahead on my behalf and pleaded my case - FAVOR!  I remember reaching for the highest heights and at the last step felt my strength had waned.  BUT the Holy Spirit came in and strengthen my resolve.  I am so thankful for his comfort in quiet times and raging times.  I am so thankful for FAVOR that comes out of NO WHERE!  Thank you Lord for Favor in spite of me!!!

GLORY!   ALLELUIA!   JESUS! HOLD MY MULE WHILE I PRAISE HIM!  In Starbucks tutoring, but I love my QUIET PRAISE FESTS!  Enjoying me some time with him!

THANKSGIVING FOR TODAY, MAY 25, 3015:

Was sitting here thinking.  Have a lot of time to do that now that I'm retired.  Candy and Tre had recitals last week.  ALL of the Boobies, when they first saw me at the recital in the parking lot, told me TRE TIED HIS OWN TIE IN A WINDSOR KNOT!  This is a BIG deal.  Tre is Autistic.  To meet him you will NEVER know.  The use of his hands is a big deal.  The BIGGER deal, his recital was in piano!  This boy use to wash his hands and never bend the fingers.  Through therapy and havign LOVING PARENTS who really work with him, Tre has advanced so much.  His schools had a hard time accepting his autism, because he is an A/B honor roll student.  LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE THROUGH HIS SERVANTS Breana Elise Isbell​   &   Irvin Lee Isbell Jr​!  God shows me everyday that he is ever present.  THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT!
