Preparing For The 5th Month Properly

There are times when strangers ask you to do things and your answer should be 'no' to protect yourself. For instance, I was in the middle of an important task and 2 adult men asked me if I would take a picture of them with their phone camera. They seemed shocked and offended BUT I had considered that those 2 men might have had a phone stored up with indecent pictures and I did not want my fingerprints on the 'tools' of strangers. They took a 'selfie' of themselves as they could have in the first place, and certainly did not respect my right to say know to their non-emergency request for a 'free photographer'.  I knew nothing about them and I chose to exercise caution and restraint rather than go ahead and do whatever a stranger requests.

My first grandchild finished her 10th year of life with only indirect influence from me.  I was the source of any of the mannerisms and instincts my granddaughter's father has regarding the way he 'runs' his household, even if my son would deny that fact. If my son has many good parenting skills, those skills were inherited from his mother, not from a box of poptarts or a case of Coca-cola. For those few people who wonder what I am capable of when a challenge is very sad and difficult to face, I want you to be able to see the real feelings I have toward my own flesh and blood line now rather than have some person dig some letters up after I am nowhere to be found by them. I have seen sample letters in 'English' class books so I suppose you could look at this as a sample letter that needed to be written to continue after a good '1st and Ten' situation only means that the next 90% to go might be much harder and require talents that only I have combined with special talents that others who are aligned with me have. When a football team makes progress, it is very rare that the men who are working the hardest  see anything other than an adversary trying to stop their progress. Usually, a football player in progress does not see or hear from his coach directly when his works are most intense and in progress. In a similar fashion, I cannot see Yehovah directly, but I have studied his words and heard them read aloud many times as the foundation for the 'moves' I make toward a good goal.

It is a good goal to desire a wonderful, Yehovah-honoring relationship with my son and his family and achieving that goal will be impossible for me alone. My niece, Jennifer, and my parents all are hoping and have helped me start toward that good goal but in fact, it might take my son's affiliates to help him get through some very hard lines working against him in order for him to get back to me and my family safely  as his good goal. Maybe the midfield coin toss has occurred in the 4 Star restaurant in Wisconsin Rapids, and now a huge battle for Truth that leads to real 'shalom' has begun.  Many people don't want 'shalom' to occur between my son and I, and I know who those people are even if they have been and will see my son and his children face to fact many more times than I can.

A couple of my very kind neighbors have wanted me to be able to BEGIN a real relationship with my grandchildren that they knew had never started prior to July of 2018 AD. I am not ashamed of how I feel about my grandchildren now that I have seen them face to face, and I hope that by sharing the letter I sent to my granddaughter with the permission of her father, that you can learn how to think beyond a 'Hallmark' card that is passed around or past a wedding card that is read aloud to many and later totally forgotten at the time of a sad and often very selfish divorce request.

Dear Autumn Rayne,

Your dad might have to help you read this letter.

I've been thinking of you, Levi and Havilah very often. I bicycled about 40 miles yesterday, all the way thinking about you. When you were little, I called you  my little Rayne Bow. We have missed so much time together and somehow I hope we become the very best of friends, even though right now we cannot be together very often YET. I am quite sure that your parents helped make your tenth birthday very special. 

I know you told me not to be sad when we were in the parking lot in Wisconsin Rapids, but my heart really does hurts being away from you and your family, so I keep remembering Joseph.  When Joseph was in Egypt he was trying to  do his very best near people who were not really his family and he knew it was important to obey Yehovah's commandments.There's many wonderful things I could tell you about your father when he was your age and younger and those are special thoughts only I can share with you someday because I was the one that cared for him from ENTIRE time he was a baby until he  moved away from me.  I tried my best to be a good mother, and I never thought your dad would ever be so far away from me. I am praying and hoping that some day he and you will be much closer, and that my heart won't hurt so much because we can be together more often. 

When it is my birthday on September 12th, I always call my parents to thank them for wanting me so I hope you thank your mom and dad for wanting to have a very special daughter that has become a very special granddaughter to me.  I do not know when Havilah's or Levi's birthday is because I never met them until last month, so maybe you can let me know what their birthday is.

It's time for me to read from the prophet Isaiah, chapter 66:1-24. I usually study and rest on Saturday because it helps me prepare for what is usually a very hard week ahead. I hope you can send me a message, maybe even every week but at least once a month.  Please give a very big hug to Havilah and Levi from me and a bigger hug to your dad because he will always be my only son, and know that I miss you and him very much. Maybe you wonder why I want to be called 'G' so I will tell you. I think the hebrew letter 'Gimel' is very special . Maybe your dad can study Psalm 119:17-24 together and think of me. The only tribe that has the letter Gimel in it is the tribe of Gad, and their special stone is like an iolite. Gad was the 7th son in his family, but later on his tribe moves way up and they get sealed  (miraculously protected) 3rd! When Yehovah perfects his earth, Gad's stone is laid down in 11th place, right after Levi's stone. You can always send me questions about the stones of the tribes of Israel, even if I usually spell israel with a Y because it really starts with a YOD, which is the 10th letter of Hebrew. Now, you are my first grandchild AND you are 10 so when I see a Y, I will think of you and a Y is in the middle of your name.  I have always loved studying about the Hebrew letters and geology.  I look at stones in a special way.  Let Levi know I will send a message to him very soon.

Lots of love, 

G

P.S. To Richard - If possible, please print out this letter and maybe keep the letters I send in a special binder for my grandchildren. Pray for me and try to remember to look for the new moon each month; it's the 28th day and the appointed times such as Yom Teruah (the time of my birth) and Yom Kippur are coming up quickly. I used to sing a song to you and maybe you can sing it with your children and remember me... ' Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight....." I will send you news of the new moon sighting because I am an Israelite at heart and mind and it is Yehovah that's strengthens me. I love you and I really do miss you and please send me your address and write to me so we can continue to improve our relationship as mother and son.  

.......................

I will also publicly release my first letter to my grandson Levi, because that letter, like this entire blog, involves a testimony about decent, kind people in Michigan.

For those who want all bad reports abort them eliminated from the internet, what happens if all the good reports about you are also removed from history?  Do people living on earth really want their college,  high school and grade school records erased and done away with just because they did not do as well as some others did in the same time and place?  We have the right to disagree with the opinions of others but the words contained in Isaiah chapter 66, vs 1 through 24, containing both good and bad reports about nations, will never be detached from today in history. One new moon will be seen shortly.... a sliver of a moon.   Those who are sending expensive scientific toys toward the sun are wasting money and have been encouraged by fools, so they are the antithesis of humble, talented hard-working mechanics in Armada.
