Exactly who is it that is in charge?

When typing typos today, I got a tea, a mug sized like a foot-bath mug of tea while I like to post you a thought – aha- a tea thought from Denmark flying to Texas, smiles…

Shalom in the wilderness of beauty and wild, greetings to all my fave Texans. Wonders of Shabbat is with you – grip it, grasp it, hug it, breathe it, swallow it, let it swallow you, float with it, enjoy it let Shabbat be your Shalom.  

 

Lately I been thinking – walking on the huge merry go round here without having the faintest idea what the Bible expresses was a bit to compare – driving an enormous truck with the word – that is for sure none inters of mine to learn how to drive – that is for sure nothing for me – arrrhg I don’t really believe that there is a reason for doing that – it is just drive – honky honk here we go – let’s rock roll the wheels……….yea and after all things happens occasionally such as a scratch here a scratch there - flying flat wheel …….motor stop even you name it (no laughing gents OK)!!

In the Book, life´s manual is a great thing to gain understanding and perhaps even breathe some wisdom. 

Dug few episodes out of dusky mind I would like to share with you here this Shabbat.

Is it my desire that the Creator is ALWAYS trustworthy reliable – yesterday, today and always – like in forever and ever – do I expect that I can stand on HIS word – HIS promise

Lev 11:45 For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

Should I promise and disregard it

Or is it something like

If I make a promise
Then of cause keep it?

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

I made a promise

Place were a certain spot in Israel, visiting a Messianic community.

There was an issue with a ring…
Not sure I remember it exactly correct to express it in English

So I don’t

But on my way down that hill that day I ended out in what was a promise if the right opportunity was presented and I would give the ring to that person.

Was interesting to go there and hear what they had to tell, and afterwards we had our coffee.

It was an open air experience; we were gathered on a hillside with some trees.

When finished our coffee and just about ready for takeoff, we all moved towards the bus. Then my opportunity was served right in front me.

Hesitating, and hesitating, suddenly I found that it would seem rather idiotic to give another person the ring I had on my finger..........

Can I say that at that time I did not know yet the Almighty that well……….

I knew that

>>>>> NOTHING HAPPEN WITHUT A RESON <<<<<

But I knew nothing much about discerning the different happenings in my everyday – not yet!!

In my hesitating flash I found about a dozen excuses for NOT to keep the promise……….

Left in silence, promising myself that:

“This is husband never to know - period”

The ring was one he bought me on account of long and faithful service……….

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Vacation ended thought traveling away from promise, yes even the shadow faded out of horizon of dusty mind!

Back to work. At work we are not allowed to wear jewels, mostly because of bacteria, but since it fragile people with fragile skin that could also cause damage during work.

Now and then I forgot to remove it. Well more like often. One day I had to move it fast, something urgent appeared, quick in pocket……….And fingers moved into the “situation”

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

1 week later I was not able to find the ring, and I knew that was the last time I touched it.

And it was to find nowhere

Asked at the specific place I were helping that day – leader there promised to have it in mind and let me know if something happened. Nothing happened. And I figured ring were lost and gone forever.

Forever is a long time!

 Num 30:6  And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;

 Num 30:7  And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

 Num 30:8  But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.

And I came to the land of understanding into this.

I knew already that the ring was gone because of the mistreated promise.  But began to wonder, maybe it was time to reconsider the decision and tell husband about the promise after all……….

I had to chew around this sometime –a Viking missed the ingredient called courage folks!

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Found the missing spice – huge sigh and jumped out in it – and survived yup (I guess ROFL)

But before I did that I was careful in asking husband to read the scriptures above – then I told.

Husband disallowed the promise gentlemen.

That was afternoon one day one week one year……….

Next day washing machine refused to pump out water!

Figured that was weird. It was not that long ago I cleaned the filter!

The room where the washing machine resides in is without windows and if no lights on it can appear in twilight.

Opened filter few thingos there yup out on the floor, I finished what I was doing and returned to

A small tool I recognized as being husbands and

The ring

Gentlemen

A tiny little me standing in awe

I had to cry

1 year the ring was out of range

1 day after husband kindly canceled the neglected promise  

The Almighty returned the ring to me.

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Awe

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Can I say I became rather careful in: my what do I promise whom gentlemen.

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Mat 7:8  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

We are always given what we pray for

Mighty good idea is to figure out what exactly is prayer
Mighty good idea is to remember is we never know

How

We never know
How

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

A person asking the Almighty for a letter

In the back of his mind a dusty imagination of the letter a

Like in AAAAA

The person received a u

Like in UUUUU

A letter was asked a letter was given

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

It seemed impossible for me to find out how to gather family. It was like I always were running head against a thick brick wall

Handed the problem to the Mighty One

I guess I gave up trusting the use my own strength 

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

One day the dishwasher started – no one touched it furthermore – door was open!! No matter what button husband hit – the dishwasher refused to stop gentlemen.

Husband disconnected dishwasher from electricity

That evening family was doing the dishes in the old fashion way – in the eyes of the youngest son – not that romantic an affair, dish washing bubble bath!!

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

I had this certain feeling…

Told family about my prayer

And made the question visible in sound

Could this be a one of HIS ways for answering this prayer?

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Thoughtfully husband
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Thoughtfully dishwashing husband in 7 days

And again he connected the dishwasher
 

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Almost new with just a couple of years in house

And again in perfect function

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

No reparation was done!
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

From that day

Now and then the dishwasher is started

Almost every day family hands are the dishwashers!
But one thing is for sure

Shabbat

 

When the essence of no working day is around
This house – in honor to the Almighty

The dishwasher rests

Family is doing the dish bubble bath reggae!

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Gentlemen wondering

Would it be measured heretics?
Might even consider reinstall the defunct tradition of hanging

If

I signed Shabbos typos with
