Just a piece of Chocolate cake please

We were having lunch together at the Boarding House and all I ordered was a bowl of soup and a piece of chocolate cake.  I had been looking at the menu for a few minutes waiting for Renae,  so by the time I ordered I was very ready.  Ready for chocolate cake.

"OH, I'm sorry, that was yesterdays special. Today we have carrot cake."

NO.  I make a great carrot cake, so I never order it at a restaurant, especially so close to Easter when I will be making it for sure.  ( this year it just might  be a flop ) 

I wasn't rude, but I think she knew I was disappointed, since I just got soup.

That was Wednesday.
On Saturday we were dining, and I do mean dining on the 16th floor, at  Holt's.   Now that is a story for later.   But I mentioned my experience at The Boarding House  and got some sympathy.

The  following Wednesday ....
                               .Now that is what I call a Chocolate Cake ( with the letter K   )  

 And it was delicious .  And the second piece for breakfast the next morning was also very delish!

Thank you Tina. You will always be our Celebration Cake Princess.  

I live an exciting life .

What time is it? She said..

 

What time is it ?

A message from God’s Word to God’s people

 

5 signs that Jesus will return in our generation

 1 Spiritual .v. 5 – 12   For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. ⁶ You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. ⁷ Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of birth pains.

⁹ “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. ¹⁰ At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, ¹¹ and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.¹² Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,

                                             
   

2. National v. 6 & 7 ⁶ You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. ⁷ Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
    wars
3. Environmental
    Weather/ earth quakes/ storms
     You don't have to have a great memory to know that we have had more earth quakes, storms,   floods, in the past year , than ever before.     ( check out 4 blood moons )

4. Personal   v. 37  As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
    Indifferent to God
    self centered
    Scoffers
5. Global   v. 32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.
     Fig tree = Israel - See the evidence in this nation.
     v, 14  the whole world has access to the  Gospel 
           Think about it.     Internet, T.V  radio, etc.

Though no one knows but the Father, when Jesus will return, He does tell us of the signs to look for so we would know the generation… and that generation looks like now.

WHAT TIME IS IT?  TIME TO WAKE UP !

 WATCH ( on your knees, read the Word ) v. 42 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

 WORK  - ( our work is to reveal God’s glory )

 WALK with God. Holy and blameless.

A evening  of feasting, fellowship and fun.    

So, the guests are gone, Darrell has helped clean up the kitchen, almost everything is back in place.
 ( well it looks good ).  
So I pour a cup of coffee and sit down to reflect on the evening.   
There are two little gift bags waiting for me.   One is a little dish with a bird perked on the edge and a fragrant bar of soap.   The other is a pendant, a  silver cross of diamonds. 
Both gifts were from very close and dear friends, unexpected though not surprised ( I know them so well and they love me )

The next morning I hear from a young friend  who says her Mom could not stop talking about how much fun she had, how great the food was and..well, .that kind of complement I cherish.

I live an exciting life
