"thank you Samson"

Dear Dove,

Thank you so much for your comforting words I was very touched and it was confirmation that My Lord is watching over us at all times.  If only I would never, never forget it and give in to the temptation of despair and weariness, I really, really want to be strong.  Your encouragement came at the right time, believe me.  The Lord gave me some assignments and I must confess that at times I have turned into a Grinch, mumbling and fussing, and what did I do?  I asked the Lord for patience!!!!  AND did He teach me about patience!  You betcha' (smile).  My main point here is I know better, as we all do, God is in charge and "ain't" nothing too big for Him and sooner or later we realize it, in my case I am still learning.  I want to be able to have joy in my life as I have joy in His blessed hope.  I do find joy in listening to music, cleaning and organizing my home, and all of the rest of a "mom's" duties, I love the beauty of our planet and all it's creatures,  but deep inside I find myself really, really sad wondering how can anyone not be sad with all of the ugliness in this world. 
I long to be with Jesus, praising My Father and full of His Spirit, lately this longing has been so much more intense and this is where He is still teaching me patience.  While I am here, in this world-not of it, it feels like all I do is learn more and more how ugly this world is and tell people to wake up and they won't!  I also wonder if other people have the same "deep in the gut" not so pleasing feelings of sadness, a revolution is coming for both our physical world and spiritual one, we know the outcome but we also know that  if only this entire world would turn to God, there would be a different outcome.  But it is not to be so, the Bible says it.

Please Lord wake up people, help them see what's coming, call your last gentile Father so that we can finally come home.  I also pray that you would make it clear, to all of us, what it is we are individually responsible for in speaking to people, and give us the strength to overcome and do your will Father.  We are ready Lord, I think all of us are. 
Please come soon Jesus, please.

Thank you again Samson and may Our Father keep you safe, strong and joyful, and to all of you who read this, the same.
In His love.
