Hello my peoples (yes, I meant to put “s” on people). It is an inside joke from a long time ago and as you can see (read in your case), I still think it is hilarious. As I type this, I am still celebrating with my family (in the spirit because my flesh is tide, like washing powder). We, the Skinners and the Kings along with our extended family (many of you call them friends) soaked in Epsom salt, rubbed with green alcohol and slept sound with little to no pain because of the muscle relaxants as proof of the celebration.
I am so glad that GOD has never stopped amazing and overwhelming me. HE is teaching me HOW to see HIM in ALL things. Something as simple and common as a trunk party reminded me of the GOODNESS of JESUS CHRIST. A trunk party given for my great nephew, Montelle Skinner, Jr. He will be attending Tusculum University this fall. He will become a nurse and hopefully a nurse practitioner.
I know many may be wondering, “A trunk party? GOODNESS of JESUS CHRIST? How? What? Huh? Well, I began to think about how my nephew Montelle, Sr. and my sister Sharon came to the house the weekend before and assisted with the logistics as we cleaned carpet and washed base boards and walls.
I think of how Demetrick Jr. , with his work schedule, sacrificed his comfort by not setting up his game in the living room so that it would not cause me to do any extra work.
I think of how my pastor and her husband, Reverend Regina Harris of Greater Faith Christian Ministries and Gabriel Harris (go get some of that baked chicken, fish, kool-aid, greens) allowed me to use tables and chairs from the church to accommodate my family.
I think of how my Uncle Fred, at the last minute, transported the tables and chairs to my house. I think of how my extended family (many of you call them friends) called and offered assistance prior to the trunk party and when they arrived brought gifts and continued to offer assistance.
I think of how NO ONE FELT like a stranger and how the conversation flowed and how people interacted with each other. Children were playing, teenagers were connecting, the young adults were mingling, the always improving PG Group (Parenting and Guardian) were laughing, eating (of course), drinking and dancing ( Maze, Anthony Hamilton, Stanky leg, the Wobble, Triggerman). There was not a sense of discord or dissension.
IT WAS GOOD AND THERE AIN’T NOTHING GOODER THAN GOD!!!!!! YES, I MEANT WHAT I TYPED IN THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE, THERE AINT’ NOTHING GOODER THAN GOD!!!!!!!
One of my PROMISES from GOD is that people would be and feel welcomed in my home for not only have I allowed the LORD to come and SUP with me (Revelation 3:20), I have given HIM charge over my life. In other words, the GOOD is GOD. What or who I am is NOTHING!!! What I have is NOTHING!!!!! ALL THAT I AM IS ONLY BECAUSE OF GOD!!!!!
If you thought WHAT I supposedly did for you, gave to you, showed to you or said to you WAS GOOD. YOU NEED TO TRY GOD. HIS GOODNESS IS EVERLASTING. HE DOES NOT WAIVER AND HE IS FAITHFUL. HE HAS ALREADY GIVEN US HIS BEST, JESUS CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
AND FOR THAT I BOLDLY DECLARE
“…Nothing will separate ME from the Love of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS….”
