HAVING FUN? IS IT PERMITTED BY GOD?

These are the bubbles..I'm blowing today...

You know what? I do so much meditation and prayer and I try to uphold keeping God's commandments in worship and praise. It's beautiful too. I enjoy every moment of thought about God. People often tell me I never have enough fun! That I'm a hermit. I don't really go to any parties, and as for dancing in clubs or bars I never venture there. I like movies which I call having fun-- and when it comes to casinos and betting, where I feel most out place I just don't attend as roaming.

But last night I confess I went to a casino! I was with my sister, my brother-in-law and my niece and her husband. Along the way, I laughed so much that I had tears! I wondered if I was allowed to see this as fun? This morning when I woke I had the best meditation and prayer ever in a long time. I'm not looking forward to go again tonight, or possible not soon in the near future nor ever not at all. If I was permitted to go there I haven't lost my trust, my love and my all so strong faith to stray away from the Lord's teachings. Nothing can separate me from this --not even things considered fun! I have a most joyous time in staying with God.

Just blowing out some bubbles....See them blow O...OO.....OOO....OOOOO.....oO.

Wonderful Ladies: Thank you so much for your support and comments. I feel I was permitted to go there, if only that I should see how great joy I find in my own way of life with God. I'm sure it has served some reason of purpose for me... Perhaps it may have or will serve a purpose later on. I see it as a learning tool to use as I continue my journey in life. Who knows who it will effect later. I keep learning every day. I wrote this in one of my journals back in 2002 it reads:

"I have gained an appreciation of knowing God prospers men in love and kindness. He prospers men in caring and in thankfulness. "These things give PROSPERITY."
"Now I have found Joy in dance with celebrating serving God, Prosperity in the appreciation of character and not monies, and believing in the One True God who always does what he says." "These things I have now; no matter what happens I'll be able to stand firm in faith and hold one to trusting the true, honest God of Love and Mercy." "These all bring me peace like none other I've ever known."
Journal of MIISRAEL 10.28.2002

--Was that co-incidence? I think it was time to be written. How marvelous!

Going to the casino is fun, but always wear a watch, you can easily loose track of time. I use to go to the casino when I had money to play, you will notice how the sound of the machines blend together and seem to put you in a state of comfort. Next thing you know, your losing money that you didn't intend on spending.

Life is all about love,fun,and family responsibilities and fellowship with a God of grace.
enjoy yourself. I love the Lord with all my heart, and I live life and enjoy the walk with Him.
