Hopefully, you've read Life with Lynnie (LwL) for a long time.
If you haven't, then please understand that today, is special. At least, to me.
Years ago, I drove a school bus in the Brampton, Mississauga and Toronto areas. Something happened that totally changed my life.
Today, is the anniversary of the day when a tractor-trailer driver hit the school bus I was driving.
This happened only a few minutes after I had dropped off about 53 children in Mississauga. I had just returned to Brampton, to go and park the bus.
Just so you know, I wrote a chapter about it, in the book I authored entitled, Love Never Fails You...

While I don't really want to discuss this collision, I must admit that the driver of that truck was truly sinful.
Isn't it funny that I would say that? I feel that way, since I have written lately much about sin, here on LwL.
But, in my mind, it is true.
Why do I think this?
Because, what that truck driver did was not good. And, was not what he was supposed to do.
What happened was not good to me, or my daughter who was on the bus with me. Or, even for my other daughter and other family members who were affected by what happened.
Even though that truck driver knew what he should have done, he didn't do it.
This made me think of James 4:17, "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
Yes, to he that knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him... it is sin.
Did I like this sin that happened?
Absolutely, not.
Please know that I have forgiven that truck driver.
I must admit that even though my life totally changed, God helped me.
For this, I am thankful. And, always will be... for He has helped me, every day of my life.
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

Scam...
If you read Life with Lynnie (LwL) last week, you'll be aware that I discussed sin.
Today, I'll be letting you know about something that happened to me. Yes, it was sinful.
On Monday, September 19th, the day that would have been my mom's birthday, had she still been alive, I had a phone call.
The speaker was someone who had recorded the message they wanted to give me. The information on the recording was only available once, so I wasn't able to write down the info given to me.
At the time, I wondered if it was a scam.
I thought about calling the government. And, prayed about it, asking God to reveal truth to me, about it.
The next day, on Tuesday, September 20th, the same thing happened.
This time, I used a pen and paper to write down the information given to me. Then, prayed once again.
Again, I felt that the telephone call was a scam.
So, I went on my computer and 'googled' the phone number that I was told I should call. I found out it was truly a scam.
The person claimed to be a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) officer. He insisted that he needed to hear from me, or my lawyer, claiming that if he didn't get responded to, then there would be trouble.
Here's the phone number I was told to call: 613 707-3979.
Here's what I found out about the phone number, when I 'googled' it: http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/6137073979.
If you clicked on that link, you'll be aware that the phone call I received, had been received by someone else. And, yes... it was definitely a scam.
Apparently, this scam is done by Nigerians and/or Ghanians. Both Nigeria and Ghana are in Africa.
Hopefully, you realize that a scam is none truth. It's basically, sin.
Whoever was scamming, was hoping to be able to get money from people they contacted. Probably, not just by possibly claiming that I or other people need to send them money.
It's also possible that by calling that number, a person might be charged long distance fees in an extreme amount. Much like what I had heard about a few years ago, where someone was billed thousands of dollars, just for making a phone call that ended up being made to a scammer.
They obviously don't care that it's sinful... by not just trying to rip off someone, but also by... lying.
Lying isn't good.
Just as we read, in Proverbs 12:22, "Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight."
Yes, lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but they that deal truly are His delight.
For this, I praise God!
And, thank Him for telling us that lying, is sinful.
My friend, please join me in prayer for whoever this is that is doing everything he can to scam people.
Please pray that God will reveal truth to him. And, please pray that he will gain salvation by trusting in/believing upon our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Thank you, dear friend.
May God bless you.
Until next time...

Hallelujah!
Hopefully, you read Life with Lynnie (LwL) yesterday. If you did, then you know that my church family held an Ordination Order of Service, for our pastor.
As I mentioned previously, we had many, many, many friends and relatives of our pastor and his wife, who attended. Plus, we had pastors from our sister churches, here in our county of Essex.
After the service, we all went downstairs to our fellowship area.
We went there, because we had a meal waiting for us. Yes, some of us brought food to contribute, but much was made at our church, knowing that there would be a large number of people who would attend our meal time.
Yes, it was absolutely a delicious meal!
Like me, many people gave our pastor a gift. I know I did this, to help celebrate his ordination! His wife did, also.
We were also asked to sign a copy of a new Bible he received, from his wife.
We were to highlight our favourite Bible verse. And, sign our name beside it.
Yes, I did this. And, used Acts 16:31, "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
If you've read LwL for even a short period of time, I'm sure you realize that I adore that Bible verse. After all, it confirms that if we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, though shall be saved, and they house.
Are you saved? I am.
Hopefully, you have become saved by trusting in/believing upon our Lord, Jesus Christ. If so, some day I'll see you in Heaven.
Hallelujah!

Ordained!
If you read Life with Lynnie (LwL) yesterday, you'll know that we had some guests who attended our worship service, on SONday.
Most were relatives of our pastor.
Why did they come?
Well, our pastor had worked for our Lord, where I and my church family worship, for about three and a half (3 1/2) years.
He had done so, after attending Bible college. Plus, he had led us all, without charging our church family any money, at all.
Earlier this year, our pastor became ordained!
Yes, he's now an ordained pastor!
Praise God! Hallelujah!
Even though there was a delay in celebration, we met on Saturday for the Ordination Order of Service.
In addition to our church family, our pastor had many, many, many friends and relatives attend. Plus, there were many pastors from sister churches, here in our county of Essex.
The service was absolutely wonderful.
Of course, so is our pastor, who teaches and preaches!
I praise God for him. After all, He provides pastors for us.
Just as we read, in Jeremiah 3:15, "And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding."
Believe it or not, on the information sheet telling us who would be speaking, etc., that Bible verse was used at the end. So, I decided to use it, today.
I must say that according to our God's heart, He gave us our pastor, who feeds us with knowledge and understanding.
For this, I praise God. And, always will.
Plus, I praise God for our pastor becoming ordained.
Thank You, Lord!

Labour...
Just like I mentioned yesterday, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), we need to worship in spirit and in truth.
That's what I did, yesterday!
No, I didn't drive myself. My church family sister in the Lord, E picked me up. And, later brought me home. Thank you, dear sis!
However, we spent our time with our church family. And, worshipped... in spirit and in truth. And, through music.
A few family members of our pastor and his wife, were with us.
We found out that the couple, who live in Brampton, Ontario (where I lived years ago), are not just worshipping God. The husband is now attending Bible college.
This means he is looking to do work for our Lord.
This brought to mind, 1 Corinthians 15:58, "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."
Yes, we need to be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
This applies to all people who do work for our Lord. Like my pastor's family member who decided to study, with his intention to do whatever he can for our Lord.
For this, I am truly thankful. And, always will be.
Thank you, sir.
And, more importantly... thank You, Lord!

S & T...
Like I've mentioned before, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), there's something we need to do on our Lord's Day.
We need to worship in spirit and in truth.
Thinking of this, and recently hearing a YouTube recording of music entitled Spirit and Truth, by Bishop Eddie Long, I thought I'd share it with you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMT9iOYgFcs. The lyrics are not on the recording, but are below.
Spirit and Truth
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth
This is the way we worship you
We take the time to worship you.
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth
This is the way we worship you
We take the time to worship you, worship you.
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth
This is the way we worship you
We take the time to worship you.
You're the King of Kings, you're the Lord of Lords
You're the one we love, honor and adore
Now we worship you, praise you now we do
For this is the way we worship you; worship you.
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth
This is the way we worship you
We take the time to worship you, worship you.
This is the way we worship you
We take the time to worship you, worship you.
We worship you,
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth
We worship you,
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth.
We worship you,
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth.
We worship you,
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth.
We worship you,
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth.
We worship you,

We worship you,
We worship you,
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth.
We worship you,
We worship you,
We worship you, we do in spirit and in truth.
We worship you.
I'm sure you agree with me that this music tells us what we need to do. And, do whenever we truly worship God.
Much like we read, in John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
My friend, do you worship Him in spirit and in truth?
Do you read God's Word, the Bible?
If so, you'll know that He tells us everything we need to do.
And, hopefully... you'll do as I do: worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Laugh!
Like in the past, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), I'm sharing with you some information. On movies!
Here's some I've watched:
* Curse of the Pink Panther, starring David Niven, Robert Wagner and many other actors. To check out this comedy film, click here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_the_Pink_Panther. When I saw this, I realized it was made after actor Peter Sellers died; he had been the main actor on the Pink Panther movies for quite a while. Even so, I enjoyed this movie.
* Son of the Pink Panther, starring Robert Benigni, Herbert Lom, Robert Davi and other actors. Click here, to check out this comedy film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_the_Pink_Panther. I enjoyed this movie, but was reminded about how I missed seeing actor Peter Sellers on this movie.
* But Not for Me, starring Clark Gable, Carroll Baker, Lilli Palmer and Lee J. Cobb. If you'd like to check out this comedy film, click here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/But_Not_for_Me_(film). Even though I didn't find myself laughing, I enjoyed this movie.
* Silver Streak, starring Gene Wilder, Jill Clayburgh, Richard Pryor and Patrick McGoohan. Feel free to click here, to check out this comedy-thriller film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Streak_(film). Much of this movie, was truly a thriller rather than comedy. Even so, I truly liked it.
* My Fellow Americans, starring Jack Lemmon, James Garner, Dan Aykroyd and other actors. Check this comedy film, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Fellow_Americans. Even though this movie was supposed to be a comedy film, it truly touched my heart, seeing how people suffered.
I have to admit, it made me truly happy seeing all these movies, that I enjoyed.
Thinking of this, brought to mind, Genesis 21:6, "And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me."
Yes, Sarah said that God had made her to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with her.
Her situation was certainly not like mine.
Sarah became pregnant.
I watched movies.
But still, thinking about what she said, made me think about how I enjoyed those films. And, was happy I watched them.
I must admit, I truly felt much like Sarah did! Happy...
God truly used them to encourage me. He provided for me, in a way to help me feel good.
For this, I'm thankful. And, always will be.
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

Without Dissimulation...
Hopefully, you read Life with Lynnie (LwL) yesterday. If so, you'll know that I've had people not be happy with me, for speaking truth.
Truth, regarding Islam.
As I've said in the past, I believe that Muslims are leaving the Middle East, not just to immigrate to other countries to have a new and good life. But, also so they can do what their god commands of them.
Their god... is not our Christian God.
What has their god commanded of them?
Not what our God has!
Our God told us in His Word, the Bible that we need to preach the gospel to all the creatures of the earth.
The Islamic god has told Muslims that they need to convert everyone in the world, to Islam... peaceably, if possible; if not, then they have the right to cut off our heads. Meaning, they can kill us.
People have not always believed me, when I have spoken this truth.
I realize it is because while I have learned about what Islam focuses on, many other people haven't. And, don't really want to accept it.
To me, it's sad. But, I don't have control over it. God does.
Hopefully, those who haven't yet accepted truth about Islam, will come to realize the truth.
Unfortunately, this means that they may not accept the truth about Islam, until they finally accept what's been happening in various countries in the world, now. Including USA.
Minnesota had stabbing at the mall last weekend, on Saturday, September 17th. Here is a link by CNN (with a video) entitled, ISIS wing claims responsibility for Minnesota mall attack: http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/18/us/minnesota-mall-stabbing/. If you read this article, you'll know that it was confirmed that the attacker was Muslim, and as the article first says, "The man who stabbed nine people at a Minnesota mall Saturday before being shot dead by an off-duty police officer was a "soldier of the Islamic state," according to an ISIS-linked news agency."
Of course, Muslims do not want to admit to being part of ISIS, or any other Islamic group that attacks infidels (unbelievers of Islam).
It doesn't surprise me that they are saying anything like that. After all, Islam teaches all Muslims that it is okay to lie to all infidels (unbelievers of Islam). They call it... Taqiyya.
New York City bombing... in Manhattan, was done on Saturday night, September 17th, by a pressure cooker that exploded. In New York City, there was another place where another pressure cooker didn't explode. CNN posted an article (with video) entitled, New York Bombing: Investigators search for suspects, motive: http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/18/us/new-york-explosion/.
If you read the article, you'll know that 29 people were injured by the bomb that exploded.
Although this article says it may be called a 'terror attack', I saw on the news, that it was indeed... a terror attack.
New Jersey also had an explosion... about 1 a.m. on Monday, September 19th. Please know that no one was injured. NBCnews.com posted an article (and video) entitled, Device Explodes in New Jersey, 5 People Questioned in New York Bombing Investigation: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nyc-explosion-fbi-cops-investigate-vehicle-interest-n-y-new-n650306. Please know that no one was injured. Why? The article told us, "A backpack that appeared to contain pipe bombs exploded early Monday as a police robot examined it near a New Jersey transit station."
For this, I praise God! After all, no one was hurt.
I slept less than a handful of hours through the night.
When I got up Monday morning, I saw on my cell phone that police were looking for a Muslim man. It was an article from Washington Post entitled, Police connect New York, N.J. bombings, seek same man for questioning in both: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/09/18/three-mysterious-incidents-in-new-york-new-jersey-and-minnesota-raise-fears-of-terrorism/?utm_term=.b412f48ee7b4.
Here's more information by Washington Post entitled, Suspected bomber Ahmad Rahami charged with attempted murder; investigators find reference to al-Qaeda figure on him: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/09/19/bombing-suspect-charged-with-attempted-murder-of-a-law-enforcement-officer-with-further-charges-expected/?utm_term=.443ce8309922.
Please know that even though these things have happened, I am grateful that not many people were injured. And, none were killed.
Thank You, Lord!
Also, please know that I pray for Muslims.
I pray that God will lead them to know His truth.
I try to show them love, whenever I can. Even though I hate the evilness many Muslims are doing.
Much like we read, in Romans 12:9, "Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good."
Yes, we need to let love be without dissimulation (dishonesty). We need to hate evilness; and cleave to that which is good.
While Muslim's Islamic god is not good. Our Christian God, is good.
My friend, please pray for Muslims.
Reach out to them, and plant the seeds for Christ, so that they can gain salvation... by trusting in/believing upon our Lord, Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31).
Thank you.
By doing this, I believe God will bless you.
Until next time...

Truth, regarding Islam.
As I've said in the past, I believe that Muslims are leaving the Middle East, not just to immigrate to other countries to have a new and good life. But, also so they can do what their god commands of them.
Their god... is not our Christian God.
What has their god commanded of them?
Not what our God has!
Our God told us in His Word, the Bible that we need to preach the gospel to all the creatures of the earth.
The Islamic god has told Muslims that they need to convert everyone in the world, to Islam... peaceably, if possible; if not, then they have the right to cut off our heads. Meaning, they can kill us.
People have not always believed me, when I have spoken this truth.
I realize it is because while I have learned about what Islam focuses on, many other people haven't. And, don't really want to accept it.
To me, it's sad. But, I don't have control over it. God does.
Hopefully, those who haven't yet accepted truth about Islam, will come to realize the truth.
Unfortunately, this means that they may not accept the truth about Islam, until they finally accept what's been happening in various countries in the world, now. Including USA.
Minnesota had stabbing at the mall last weekend, on Saturday, September 17th. Here is a link by CNN (with a video) entitled, ISIS wing claims responsibility for Minnesota mall attack: http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/18/us/minnesota-mall-stabbing/. If you read this article, you'll know that it was confirmed that the attacker was Muslim, and as the article first says, "The man who stabbed nine people at a Minnesota mall Saturday before being shot dead by an off-duty police officer was a "soldier of the Islamic state," according to an ISIS-linked news agency."
Of course, Muslims do not want to admit to being part of ISIS, or any other Islamic group that attacks infidels (unbelievers of Islam).
It doesn't surprise me that they are saying anything like that. After all, Islam teaches all Muslims that it is okay to lie to all infidels (unbelievers of Islam). They call it... Taqiyya.
New York City bombing... in Manhattan, was done on Saturday night, September 17th, by a pressure cooker that exploded. In New York City, there was another place where another pressure cooker didn't explode. CNN posted an article (with video) entitled, New York Bombing: Investigators search for suspects, motive: http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/18/us/new-york-explosion/.
If you read the article, you'll know that 29 people were injured by the bomb that exploded.
Although this article says it may be called a 'terror attack', I saw on the news, that it was indeed... a terror attack.
New Jersey also had an explosion... about 1 a.m. on Monday, September 19th. Please know that no one was injured. NBCnews.com posted an article (and video) entitled, Device Explodes in New Jersey, 5 People Questioned in New York Bombing Investigation: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nyc-explosion-fbi-cops-investigate-vehicle-interest-n-y-new-n650306. Please know that no one was injured. Why? The article told us, "A backpack that appeared to contain pipe bombs exploded early Monday as a police robot examined it near a New Jersey transit station."
For this, I praise God! After all, no one was hurt.

One to Another...
If you read Life with Lynnie (LwL) yesterday, you'll know that I had been treated badly by someone who wasn't just a Facebook (FB) friend, but who had also been a child-life friend. You'll also know I forgave him.
There's been some other people on FB, who have unfriended me.
Not due to anything concerning love. But, rather because they didn't like some things I posted on FB.
I must admit, it has been mainly due to those previous FB friends not liking what I have posted and/or spoken about, regarding Islam.
Yes, on FB I've had people unfriend me, because they didn't really want to accept the truth about Islam. Even though I have taken courses in Understanding Islam. And, speak truth.
However, someone I had been life-friends with since 1988, decided to no longer be my friend.
Not on FB. She's still a friend on FB.
But, she's no longer a friend in real life.
Why? During a telephone conversation a few weeks ago, she got upset with me.
She told me she didn't like what I believed, regarding Muslims. Plus, she was upset that we didn't agree about what was happening in USA, with regard to the upcoming election, even though we are Canadian, and not Americans who would be voting.
During our conversation, she hung up on me.
Instead of calling her back, I went on FB and privately messaged her. It took a quite a while, before I received a message back from her.
Even though I had told her that I thought we should still be friends, and not discuss anything we didn't agree about, she didn't agree. In fact, she let me know that she didn't want anything to do with me, anymore.
It's okay. I forgave her.
After all, I thought she would be a lifetime friend. It didn't matter to me, if we didn't agree on certain things in life.
And, I didn't want to treat her badly, even though she didn't agree with me.
Thinking of this, brought to mind, 1 Peter 4:9, "Use hospitality one to another without grudging."
Yes, we need to be caring to others, without being unwilling to accept the fact that we may not all think alike.
Even though I had not heard from her, I thought possibly I would at some time. Plus, I thought God would open the door for our friendship to be returned.
I was wrong.
How do I know this?
While doing grocery shopping the other day, I ran into her. And, said 'hello'.
She responded, but didn't carry on any conversation. Other than a few words.
I must admit, that I pray our friendship will be restored.
The only other thing I can say about this, is that I pray God will reveal truth to her.
Just as He's done to many other people. Including me.
For this, I will always be thankful.
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

Love? Love...
Rarely, do I ever share something here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), that I wrote about on Facebook (FB). But today, I'll be doing that.
I want to share with you something I wrote as an entry on FB. It wasn't done recently. I originally posted it, about five (5) years ago.
Here's what the entry on FB said:
Lynn McKenzie
When I was offered by FB to share again this five (5) year old entry I had made, I did it! Here's what I said, when I re-shared it:

Lynn McKenzie shared a memory.
wonders if everyone recalls this. In any case, I feel the same, today. Blessings...
When I first began telling my friends that I love them, back in 2011, I did so thinking they would realize that I truly loved them. Loved them, with Christian love.
Why did I do this?
First, I need to say that I had some Christian friends who told me that they loved me. Both male and female friends.
Was I afraid to tell both my male and female friends that I loved them? Absolutely, not!
I thought they would realize that I was using Christian love.
However, I had some friends, who had not just been FB friends, but who also had been a child-life friends. To each of them, I also let them know... I love them.
This seemed to be okay with everyone I messaged, chatted with, or just shared a FB posting with. Including men and not just women.
Except for one fellow.
This man had been a child-life friend, and had been the first person to find me on FB. Knowing we had true friendship, and knowing he's a minister, I thought he would realize that the love I had was Christian love.
At first, I didn't understand why he reacted in an unusual way.
He unfriended me on FB. Even so, he messaged me on FB, asking if I wanted to have sin in my life.
I told him, I didn't want to have sin in my life. He seemed glad about that.
Since then, I have never been messaged by him on FB. Not even to wish me Merry Christmas!, Happy New Year!, Happy Birthday!, or even Happy Easter!
After praying about this, I eventually came to the conclusion that this previous male friend had thought I had told him I loved him, not in Christian love. But rather... in human love.
When I realized this, I prayed that God would reveal truth to him.
Whether or not this has happened, I have no idea. But, I think not.
If He had revealed truth to him, then maybe he would have realized that he didn't need to stop being friendly to me, in any way.
To be honest, I felt he was being sinful, towards me. But, I forgave him.
The forgiveness I gave him, was truly done in Christian love.
Thinking of this, brought to mind 1 Peter 4:8, "And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins."
Yes, above all things have fervent charity (love) among yourselves: for charity (love) shall cover the multitude of sins.
I praise God that He has clearly taught me to have love. And, the love I have and give to others, covers a multitude of sins.
For this, I will always be thankful.
Thank You, Lord!

Brotherly Love...
Today, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), I thought I would tell you about something I did, this past weekend. On Saturday, I attended a church seminar.
As I've done in the past, I've attended seminars held where my pastor, and/or an elder taught us, at our church building.
Saturday's seminar was: Hamartiology - The doctrine of sin. HUMAN IN THE STATE OF SIN. It was held by our Elder, W.
I must admit, the seminar was wonderful. And, truly helped each of us gain knowledge.
How did I get there? Did I drive myself?
No.
My sister in the Lord, E... drove me. Just as she did to worship last week and this past Sunday.
I truly thank E for helping me.
Not just because she has been driving me. Also, because of the loving kindness she has shown me, by driving me.
Thinking of this, brought to mind, Romans 12:10, "Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;"
Brotherly love, is so very kind. And, it honours others.
Just as I was honoured. And, have felt affection given to me, by my sister in the Lord.
Talk about being blessed! I truly feel blessed.
Thank you, E. Thank you, E's sister, M.
Knowing that they have shown God's love to me, I am truly thankful not just to them, but also to Him.
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

Forgiven!
Before I begin today's Life with Lynnie (LwL) entry, I'd like to say that if my mom were alive, today would be her birthday. I truly miss her... and love her. I always will.
Yesterday, I was blessed once again by a sister in the Lord. She drove me to church, just as she had a week ago.
For this, I was truly thankful. Thank you, dear sis!
Once again, I was able to worship with my church family. For this, I was also thankful!
Like last week, not everyone spoke with me. But, some did.
After our church service, a brother in the Lord, spoke with me. He's a retired pastor. And, a true blessing.
He asked me how I was. I responded that I am truly in need of healing.
He laughed and asked me why.
I told him I didn't want to discuss it with him, but I did let him know that I have had continuous problems since my past surgeries. Plus, I told him that I was being referred to surgeons in London, Ontario, because I had been told I need two (2) more surgeries.
He laughed, again.
I wondered if he didn't really think I needed healing. After all, he'd been like this with me, in the past.
However, this time he told me to give it to God. I let him know, I already have!
Why he would think I haven't done so, is beyond me.
Why do some people think I do not need healing? If they knew my physical situation, they would know I truly do!
To be honest, I must admit... I felt insulted. And, rather sad that a church family member would treat me this way.
In any case, I silently forgave him.
Why?
Because Jesus told us that we need to forgive.
Just as we read, in Matthew 6:14, "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:"
If we forgive people's trespasses, our heavenly Father will also forgive us.
Forgiveness, is absolutely necessary!
Do you forgive?
Have you forgiven anyone/everyone who has hurt you?
Hopefully, so. I pray you have.
For if you have, you will also be forgiven.
Plus, at some point in time, we'll spend time together with our Lord... for this will mean that we both have forgiven... anyone/everyone.
Praise God! Hallelujah!
Until next time...

Blessed...
Being our Lord's Day, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL) I'll be sharing something with you. Music.
Yes, it's our day of worship.
We'll worship in spirit and in truth. And, through music.
A hymn came to mind. So, I decided to share it with you.
It's entitled, Blessed Be the Lord God Almighty. Here's a link for you to listen to and/or sing along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAcq6wOuLlc. The lyrics are below.
Blessed Be the Lord God Almighty
Father in heaven how we love You We lift Your name in all the earth.
May Your kingdom be established in our praises,
As Your people declare Your mighty works!
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty Who was and is and is to come.
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty Who reigns forevermore.
Father of mercy be exalted, may Jesus' name be lifted high
For His sacrifice of love has won my pardon
And His resurrection power gives me life.
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty Who was and is and is to come.
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty Who reigns forevermore.
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty Who was and is and is to come.
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty Who reigns forevermore.
Who reigns forevermore
Who reigns forevermore
Who reigns forevermore...
(This portion was not recorded:
Oh God most Holy we adore You, We lay our all before Your throne.
May the fragrance of Your presence be about us
As we purpose to worship You alone!
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty Who was and is and is to come.
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty Who reigns forevermore.)
Yes... blessed be the Lord!
That's something I do. I bless Him, in good times. I bless Him also in not such good times for me.
But, I bless Him.
Thinking of blessing the Lord, brought to mind Psalm 103:22, "Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul."
Bless the Lord!
We truly all need to do this, because all His works are in all places of His dominion. And, we are blessed through and by... Him!
My friend, hopefully you also bless the Lord. Just as I do.
If you do, you'll also be blessed!
Until next time...

Walk...
Once again, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), I'll let you know about something I do. It's something you've heard about me doing, before.
Watching movies!
Here's some I recently watched:
* Sherlock Holmes - Terror by Night, starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. If you'd like to check out this film, click here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_by_Night. Like I've said in the past, I enjoy all Sherlock Holmes movies; including this one!
* Sherlock Holmes - Dressed to Kill, starring Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce and Patricia Morison. Click here, to check out this film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dressed_to_Kill_(1946_film). Yes, I enjoyed this movie!
* Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, starring Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Ida Lupino, George Zucco, and Alan Marshal. To check out this film, click here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Sherlock_Holmes_(film). I'm sure you're realizing that I enjoyed this movie!

* In Like Flint, starring James Coburn, Lee J. Cobb and other actors. Feel free to click here, to check out this spy film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Like_Flint. Even though this is supposed to be a spy film, I thought of it as being a mystery movie. And, enjoyed it.
* Like Father, Like Son, starring Masaharu Fukuyama. Click on this link, to check out this drama film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like_Father,_Like_Son_(2013_film). I must admit, this movie was different than what I normally watch, but enjoyed it.
As you probably are aware, the Sherlock Holmes movies were basically mystery films. Even so, the seemed much like the spy and drama movies, since there is drama in them.
Drama isn't just in movies.
It can also be in life. Especially, if people are living in human ways, and not focusing on God.
Much like we read, in Galatians 5:16, "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh."
Yes, we need to walk in the Spirit, for then we shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Much like what happens in movies. And, in life itself.
Anyone who is truly Christian, who has gained salvation, understands what it is like to walk in the Spirit.
Do you?
Have you gained salvation?
If so, it's wonderful!
However, if you haven't yet gained salvation, maybe you need to know how easy it is.
All you need to do, is to trust in/believe upon our Lord, Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved (Acts 16:31).
Then, if you have gained salvation, you will be able to understand and walk in the Spirit. Plus, I'll be able to see you some day, in Heaven!
Until next time...

Will Do...
Hopefully, you read Life with Lynnie (LwL) yesterday. If you did, you'll know that at the end of the Downton Abbey series, the workers sang Auld Lang Syne.
That song truly touched my heart.
You see, my now deceased husband, Gordon and I celebrated New Year's Eve many times with friends and/or family over the years we were together. And, on many occasions, we sang Auld Lang Syne.
Thinking about that music, made me decide to share the song with you. This traditional folk song was based on a poem written by Robert Burns. Here is a link sung by Dougie MacLean, for you to listen to and/or sing along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acxnmaVTlZA. The lyrics are below.
Old Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear.
For auld lang syne.
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
for days of auld lang syne.
We twa hae run about the braes,
and pou'd the gowans fine;
but we've wander'd many a weary fit,
since days of auld lang syne.
And we twa hae paidl'd in the burn,
frae morning sun till dine;
but seas between us braid hae roar'd
since days of auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear.
For auld lang syne.
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
for days of auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint' stoup,
and surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
and gie's a hand o' thine
and we'll tak a right guild-willie-waught
for auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear.
For auld lang syne.
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear.
For auld lang syne.
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
Yes, I'm sure you'll think you didn't sing it that way. I know we didn't. However, Auld Lang Syne, is definitely a Scottish song that is sung by British, Scottish and Irish people. Like those we sang with, on New Year's Eve.
However, it truly touches my heart. After all, it is repeatedly stated that we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet...
Kindness, is wonderful. It helps people, to not just be happy, being treated kindly. But, it also helps people fear not.
Thinking of this, brought to mind, Joel 2:21, "Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things."
Just as we read, we need to fear not. We need to be glad, and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.
Yes, our Lord... will do great things.
Will He do it for everyone?
Not really. He'll only do great things for those who belong to Him.
Do you belong to Him?
Have you gained salvation by trusting in/believing upon our Lord, Jesus Christ?
Hopefully, you have.
If you haven't yet, read God's Word, the Bible. Then, you'll realize that you truly need to gain salvation from our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Do it, today. Tomorrow, may be too late.
Until next time...

He Will...
If you read Life with Lynnie (LwL) yesterday, you'll know that over Labour Day weekend, I watched the Downton Abbey Marathon that was shown on the Detroit Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
Hopefully, you realize that I have adored that six (6) year series that I previously watched... and watched again on the Labour Day weekend.
By this being shown, I felt like God knew that I needed support. His support.
I felt like He provided this series for me to watch, so that I could feel relaxed and blessed.
Yes, I truly felt blessed. Much like all the participants in the series were, when their lives were all restored by the end of the series.
Just so you know, a wedding took place on New Year's Eve.
On that same day, a Downton Abbey worker gave birth to a child. Her husband on the series was also a worker at Downton Abbey.
Well, I won't say anything more. Hopefully, if the series is shown again, you'll watch it.
Again, I will say that I am trusting God to restore me... and my life.
Thinking of this, brought to mind, Joel 2:25-26, "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed."
Yes, God allowed my life to fall apart. But, He shall provide for me, always. When my life is fully restored, I will be satisfied. And, I'll praise the name of the Lord my God. Plus, I'll never be ashamed.
At the end of the Downton Abbey series, the workers all sang a song that touched my heart. Auld Lang Syne.
As I said before, I am truly thankful that God provided for me, by being able to not just feel heart broken over the Labour Day weekend, but that He allowed me to feel loved by Him... in many ways.
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

Twice...
There's something I'd like to tell you about, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL).
If you read LwL last week, you'll know that I had a hard time on Labour Day weekend.
The memory of my now deceased husband, Gordon... and how we moved into the apartment where I still live, was good. But, it also was heart-breaking.
Normally, on a long weekend like that, I end up being alone. My family usually have plans that don't include me.
While being alone can be sad, I am not angry with my family. After all, they have their own lives.
But, this year God provided for me, though.
Not through friends or relatives. Through television (TV).
I normally watch movies whenever I can. I didn't that weekend.
What did I watch?
I watched the Downton Abbey Marathon. It was shown on the Detroit Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
Anyone who knows me, knows that in the past, I truly enjoyed the six (6) year series of Downton Abbey.
To be honest, I didn't know that the whole six (6) year series was going to be shown on PBS, over the whole weekend. But, when I realized it was being shown, I watched.
If you watched that series, you'll know that the writer(s) had shown us how in England, people lived from the early 1900's.
On Downton Abbey, during WW1, the family used their castle-style home to help injured army people, recover. When the Great Depression happened during the 1930's, life wasn't easy.
During the whole series, people who were living and/or working at Downton Abbey all suffered off and on. Just as many people do, here in our world, today.
The thing that truly touched my heart, is that the writer(s) showed that by the end of the series, everyone's lives had been restored.
No, it wasn't a Christian series. But to me, the writer(s) relied on God's Word, the Bible.
Why do I think this?
Thinking about how people's lives had been restored on the Downton Abbey series, made me think about what happened to Job.
Job's life had been destroyed in several ways. Yes, go and read it for yourself!
God supported him, and restored Job's life.
Just as we read, in Job 42:10, " And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before."
Thinking of this, comes into my heart and mind, often. Regularly. Daily.
Why do I think of this?
The first reason, is because of what happened to Job. And, how his life fell apart.
If you know me and what I've been through, you'll know that my life has been not easy. Even though I focused on Him, repented, and gained salvation by trusting in/believing upon our Lord, Jesus Christ... God has not yet restored my life.
This at times makes me wonder if He will restore my life. But, whenever I think of God's Word, the Bible and recall what I've read, I realize that I need to not feel like I'm being ignored. Or, forgotten.
After all, He will restore my life. Just as He restored Job's life.
I am trusting Him. And, always will.
For this, I will be eternally thankful.
Until next time...

Provided!
If you read Life with Lynnie (LwL) yesterday, you'll be aware that I felt blessed.
It was wonderful being able to go worship with my church family.
Plus, it was truly a blessing being helped and being treated lovingly by my sisters in the Lord! Thank you, so much!
I should let you know that several people commented to me about how I have lost weight. Yes, I have. :)
It was shocking to me, when a couple of people told me I look really nice. Including my pastor. :)
Please don't think I have lost weight because of not being well. That's not the case.
In fact, had I been able to exercise in the pool, or done more physically, I probably would have lost even more weight than I have.
The fact is, I have done everything I can to reduce my weight. And, God has helped me! Thank You!
After our worship service, we all shared a pot-luck lunch, together.
To me, this was really great! Even though I didn't eat as much as I have done in the past. :( :)
It gave me time to sit and talk with some sisters in the Lord. People that I hadn't seen in a few months.
For this, I was also thankful.
Wow! What a day!
It seemed that everything that happened, was truly a blessing to me. And, I was thankful.
I truly felt like I received gifts. Like I mentioned yesterday, here on LwL.
Thinking about gifts, brought to mind, James 1:17, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."
Hopefully, you understand that I felt like I had received good gifts. And, had received them from my brothers and sisters in the Lord!
This made me realize that just like we read in today's Bible verse, every good gift and ever perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
All I can say, is... thank You, Lord!
Thank You, for providing for me, in so many ways.
Thank You, for helping me to improve my body weight.
Thank You, for showing me that there are actually people who care for/about me.
Thank You, for Your Word, the Bible... that shows me and others, that all these good things/gifts come ultimately from you. For you provided the love and caring feelings that my church family felt for me. And, showed me.
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

A Gift!
Today, I'd like to discuss here on Life with Lynnie (LwL) about what I did, yesterday.
Believe it or not, I actually went and worshipped with my church family!
Knowing I didn't want to drive there. I hadn't done this, since before I got so sick that I spent time in hospital.
A few days ago, a sister in the Lord, M called me at home. She has been the only person who actually telephoned me, over these past few months. Well, except for my pastor, who I spoke with a few times.
When I let this sister in the Lord know that I didn't want to drive there, she offered to pick me up. She reminded me that she and her sister, E live together. And, it's only about a five (5) minute drive to come and get me.
After discussing this with her, I agreed to have her pick me up.
Did she? No.
Instead, her sister, E picked me up! I found out that, M had actually driven her own vehicle to go pick up their mom and bring her to worship. :)
When we arrived at the church building, a few people welcomed me. And, made me feel blessed.
To me, it was truly a blessing being able to go to worship.
After all, like I've said in the past, we need to worship in spirit and in truth.
Just as we read, in John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
Yes, together... our church family worships Him in spirit and in truth. And, through music.
It was a wonderful time for me. I was truly thankful.
I was thankful that I was able to be with my church family to worship. Plus, I was thankful that my sisters in the Lord, had offered to help me. I praise God for them!
On the way home, E told me she needed to stop at their home.
In the past, I hadn't seen where she and her sister lived. It was truly a nice home. And, it is in a nice neighbourhood, near where I live.
E came out carrying a plant. She put it in the trunk of her vehicle. And, she let me know that she and her sister, M had bought it for me.
What a gift!
Not just the plant. Although it is truly very nice. :)
To me, it was truly a gift, being loved and helped by those who cared for me.
Thank You, Lord for bringing them into my life. May You bless them... always.
Until next time...

After all, like I've said in the past, we need to worship in spirit and in truth.
Just as we read, in John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
Yes, together... our church family worships Him in spirit and in truth. And, through music.
It was a wonderful time for me. I was truly thankful.
I was thankful that I was able to be with my church family to worship. Plus, I was thankful that my sisters in the Lord, had offered to help me. I praise God for them!
On the way home, E told me she needed to stop at their home.
In the past, I hadn't seen where she and her sister lived. It was truly a nice home. And, it is in a nice neighbourhood, near where I live.
E came out carrying a plant. She put it in the trunk of her vehicle. And, she let me know that she and her sister, M had bought it for me.
What a gift!
Not just the plant. Although it is truly very nice. :)
To me, it was truly a gift, being loved and helped by those who cared for me.
Thank You, Lord for bringing them into my life. May You bless them... always.
Until next time...

15th Anniversary of 9/11
Here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), I'm sure you realize that today is our Lord's Day! Yes, we need to worship.
However, today is also another special day.
Today, is the 15th anniversary of 9/11.
Most of you know what happened on 9/11, 2001.
CBC.ca posted an article entitled, Why the '9/11 Truth' movement endures 15 years later: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/september-2001-truther-conspiracy-theory-1.3756431.
If you read the article, you'll know that it says... Father of 9/11 victim reconciles unconventional beliefs with grief. And, it discusses reality.
However, reality isn't just what happens. We also need to trust God to help us through the fiery trials in life He told us we will experience.
How do we do this?
We need to read God's Word, the Bible. This is where He tells us what to do.
Just as read, in Ephesians 6:11, "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
Yes, we need to put on the whole armour of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
As people know, reality tells us that the attacks were done by Muslims. Just as we see here:
These attacks on 9/11 2001, were definitely evil. And, done by Muslims, who have been taught by their Islamic teachings to do what their god wants them to do.
Yes... their god. Not our God.
My friend, please pray for Muslims. And, for all those of other religions, who are unbelievers.
Also, please pray for all whose lives have been torn apart by what happened on 9/11, 2001.
Thank you. May God bless you.
Until next time...

First...
Once again, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), I will discuss something I do. Watching movies!
Here's some I have watched:
* Private Benjamin, starring Goldie Hawn, Eileen Brennan and Armand Assante. To check out this comedy film, click here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_Benjamin_(1980_film). To be honest, I enjoyed this film... even though I didn't really find it funny.
* In a Lonely Place, starring Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. Click here to check out this film noir: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_a_Lonely_Place. Even though this movie was stressful in some ways, I did enjoy it.
* A Hole in the Head, starring Frank Sinatra, Edward G. Robinson, Eleanor Parker, and many other actors. If you'd like to check out this comedy film, click on this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Hole_in_the_Head. If you can, make sure you watch this movie.
* Born Yesterday, starring Judy Holliday, Broderick Crawford and William Holden. Click on this link, if you'd like to check out this comedy-drama film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_Yesterday_(1950_film). Even though this is supposed to be a comedy-drama film, I truly found it to be more of a drama film. Even so, I enjoyed this movie.
* The Chase, starring Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford, and more actors. If you'd like to find out about this drama film, feel free to click here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chase_(1966_film). To me, this was truly a drama film. But, I enjoyed watching it, for it seemed to relate well to how people live in this world.
Thinking about how people live in this world, made me think about how not everyone puts God first in their lives.
Even though that is what He told us we should do, in Matthew 6:33, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Yes, we need to seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness. Then, all these things shall be added unto us.
For this, I praise God!
After all, He is in control. Not us.
He provides for us, when we look to Him... and, put Him first and foremost in our lives.
For this, I'm thankful. And, always will be.
Thank You, dear God!
Until next time...

Please... & Pray...
Once again, I'll be sharing here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), an e-mail message I received.
The e-mail was from the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ). I copied and pasted it so you could read it. Here it is:

You...
If you've recently read Life with Lynnie (LwL), you'll be aware that I've been feeling rather alone.
Being a widow, who has very little contact with family, life isn't easy. Especially, since I've not been well and am still in need of healing.
As I've already said, I'm so very thankful for my Lord.
For He loves me. And, I love Him.
I believe He touched my heart on Monday morning. That was Labour Day.
As I mentioned, I only had about three (3) hours sleep before I got up.
However, as I've had happen in the past, God had placed music on my heart and mind.
The song is not Christian. But, it is a nice song I hadn't heard... or thought about in many years.
It's written by Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, and Dave Grusin. It's recorded by Stephen Bishop, and is entitled, It Might Be You. Here is a link for you to listen to and/or sing along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0BFBq41sIw. The lyrics are below.
It Might Be You
Yes, I believe it's You.
After all Lord, You placed this music and lyrics on my heart and mind.
You love me. And, I love You.
Thinking of this, made me recall 1 John 4:19, "We love him, because he first loved us."
Yes, we love Him... because, He first loved us.
He loved us so much before we were born, that He gave Himself to pay the price for the sin of the world... for all who would believe upon Him.
He gave Himself, unto physical death, even though He could have not had this happen.
He did this, so that He would fulfill God the Father's plan of redemption for us. To provide salvation for us.
Have you gained salvation?
I have.
I've trusted in/believed upon our Lord, Jesus Christ... for a very long time, now. And, I look to Him, for everything in my life.
Hopefully, you have done the same as me.
If you have, you will have gained salvation. And, we'll see each other some day, in Heaven.
Until next time...

It Might Be You
Time
I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life
I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life
Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place
Would I recognise the face
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place
Would I recognise the face
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah it's telling me it might be you
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
Oh, I think we've gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
Oh, I think we've gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
All of my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there're so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
And there're so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
May be it's you (it's you)
May be it's you (it's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
May be it's you (it's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
May be it's you (it's you)
May be it's you (it's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
May be it's you (it's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
May be it's you (it's you)
May be it's you (it's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
May be it's you (it's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
Yes, I believe it's You.
After all Lord, You placed this music and lyrics on my heart and mind.
You love me. And, I love You.
Thinking of this, made me recall 1 John 4:19, "We love him, because he first loved us."
Yes, we love Him... because, He first loved us.
He loved us so much before we were born, that He gave Himself to pay the price for the sin of the world... for all who would believe upon Him.
He gave Himself, unto physical death, even though He could have not had this happen.
He did this, so that He would fulfill God the Father's plan of redemption for us. To provide salvation for us.

I have.

Glenn... H.B.?
On today's Life with Lynnie (LwL) entry, I would like to let you know that if my brother Glenn were alive, today would have been his birthday.
If Glenn was still alive, I would wish him Happy Birthday! But, there's no reason to, for he is in Heaven with our Lord.
For this, I am thankful. And, always will be. After all, some day I will see him, in Heaven.
As I mentioned on LwL yesterday, grief isn't easy.
Some people think that grief ends. Maybe it does for some people, but it doesn't seem to, for me.
My brother Glenn, was younger than me.
When my mom went into labour on the first day after Labour Day (the Tuesday), she called an older cousin of mine, D... to come and take care of my older brother, R (called... B) and I. That evening, after my cousin, D arrived where we lived, my mom (and dad) went to the hospital.
Our cousin worked, but sent us to school on the Wednesday.
In the school I attended, we weren't allowed to wear anything we wanted to. We had to wear uniforms.
With my uniform, I was supposed to wear a white blouse. My cousin told me to wear my blue blouse, since it looked good with my navy uniform.
When I got to school, I was taken into the principle's office. And, was sent home.
Why? I wasn't allowed to be dressed the way I was.
It was both a happy :) and sad :'( .
Sad, because I was rejected. I was not acceptable, to those at my school.
Happy... because on that Wednesday, September 7th, my brother Glenn was born.
I must admit, I truly loved Glenn. Both, as a baby, and as an adult brother.
Thinking about love, brought to mind 1 John 4:7, "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God."
Yes, love is of God and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. Just as I did.
Some people may think I wasn't saved a few years earlier, when I lived in Detroit, Michigan, USA, but it was then, when I came to know and love Jesus. I was glad that I was able to love, for when Glenn was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, it was a blessing to me, and to others.
Yes, when Glenn was born, I truly loved him. And, still do, even though he is no longer alive.
Of course, I truly love Jesus. And, always will.
Until next time...

Ten...
There is something I want to discuss, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL).
It's something I have discussed on many occasions, in the past. It has to do with what time of year, this is.
Last week, I thanked God for helping me through those last couple of days in August. And, through the first few days in September.
You see, when my now deceased husband, Gordon was alive, we moved into the apartment where I now live alone.
We were due to move in on September 1, 2006. Ten (10) years ago.
However, we received the keys a couple of days early. So, we began moving in. And, continued doing so, over the Labour Day weekend.
Yes, the Labour Day weekend. Just like I'm experiencing, now.
As I mentioned previously, I thanked God for helping me through those last few days of August and the first few days of September. However, on this past Friday, things seemed to change for me.
On Friday evening, I began feeling sad. What I felt seemed like grief attacking me, again.
Even though I was tired, I didn't sleep through the night. In fact, I only slept about two and a half (2 1/2) hours.
Saturday morning, I thought maybe I would feel better. But, I didn't.
In fact, tears began. And, didn't end.
Those tears kept on throughout Sunday. Not every minute, but definitely off and on.
Sunday night, I was truly exhausted. But again, I didn't sleep well.
After having only about three (3) hours sleep, I got up. And, felt horrible, once again. At least, not every moment, but definitely off and on.
The thing that helps me through times like this, doesn't have anything to do with family or friends.
Family and friends are there for me, from time to time. However, on special weekends, like Labour Day weekend, they usually have things to do, themselves.
So, I spend the time... alone.
Well, not really alone, since our Lord is with me.
He reminds me about how He loves me, provides for me and encourages me.
Thinking of this, reminded me of Psalm 118:24, "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."
Yes, whenever I go through times like this, I am reminded about how this is the day the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
By looking to Him, He helps me through those grief-filled times.
I thought about how God loves me. And, how He provides for me, always.
I am thankful for today. And, glad for it.
After all, He loves me. And, always will.
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...

Happy Labour/Labor Day!
Here on Life with Lynnie (LwL),
I enjoy celebrating special days.
Today, is one of those days.
Why?
Because, today is... Labour Day.
(If you live in USA,
you will be celebrating...
Labor Day!)
Happy Labour Day!
If you'd like to check out what
Labour Day is,
please click here:
When we have employment,
we work.
Usually, we receive
benefits, as well.
Thinking about benefits,
brought to mind,
Psalm 103:2, "Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits:"
Yes, we need to bless the Lord.
And, forget not all His benefits.
After all,
He provides for
those who belong to Him.
Hopefully,
you belong to Him...
just as I do.
If so,
you'll be eternally
blessed.
Until next time...

Rich and Free...
Being SONday, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), I usually mention about worship.
As I've usually commented, I enjoy worshipping through music. In addition to worshipping in spirit and in truth.
Here is some music that I enjoy. It's short.
It's entitled, Thank You Lord for Saving My Soul. Here is a link for you to listen and/or sing along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9-2hWrJK9o. The lyrics are below.
Thank You Lord for Saving My Soul
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul
Thank you, Lord, for making me whole
Thank you, Lord, for giving to me
Thy great salvation so rich and free
As you can see, this music was definitely short. But, also sweet.
It touches my heart.
Why? Because the lyrics thank our Lord.
Thinking of how we should be thankful, made me think of Ephesians 5:20, "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;"
Yes, we need to give thanks always for all things unto God and the Father, in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
I'm sure you probably are aware that by singing this music, I thank Him for saving soul. For making me whole. And, for giving to me His great salvation... so rich and free.
Is it hard to gain salvation? Have you gained salvation?
It's truly easy.
All you need to do, is to trust in/believe upon our Lord, Jesus Christ... and you shall be saved (Acts 16:31).
I'm saved. Hopefully, you are, too.
Until next time...
