Grandma goes to IndiaI am going to be leaving for India in two weeks and I am so eager tomeet the people whom I have read about for so long. I am arriving inBangalore and will be staying for four weeks. I am so excited to seeIndia. I love the people and the food and the dress! The buildings aredone with such class and design that everyone who sees them can admirethe beauty in the care given to construct them. When I lived in NewJersey I was first introduced to these wonderful people.
Many I had as students when I was a driving instructor. Oh, did theyspoil me. I had the most wonderful time with them at the dinner table.They would cook for me foods I could eat because I just couldn't takeall that HOT stuff. Beautiful garments made so delicate and soft. Thesepeople wove themselves into my heart. Little did I know that one day Iwould be in THEIR country. How my heart is thrilled.
India is fast becoming another home to me as has China, Uganda, Ghana,Guyana, Nepal, Phillipines and Mexico and soon Liberia, West Africa.Though I have never left this country before, I have lived with theChinese in New Jersey, communicated for years with many of thesewonderful places via the internet and made wonderful friends. I am sohappy to meet so many of God's Children and hold them in my arms to hugthem for our wonderful Father in heaven. I have traveled 45 of the 50states of America and hugged many and spoke to them of the love of God.Now He has opened a door for me I never expected, to Him be all theglory. A dear sweet friend has offered to pay my way to go therefore!Oh, the joy unspeakable and full of Glory. No one can imagine what isgoing on in my heart. I am privileged to be among the many who havegone before me. Now God is letting me go.
Pray for me, my friends. This feeling that is welling up inside of mewould make me burst if I were but a mere balloon. Yet again, I amhumbled when I think that, who am I, that He would let me go? Let mekeep the balance though I need to be the light to shine and in humilityso as never to take any glory from the one to whom it truly belongs.
If I could just look into the eyes of the people and they could seeJesus in me, my pleasure would be that they would immediately confessJesus as Lord so to make another disciple for Him.
The time is short my family, He is coming soon. We must make ready ourhearts and ready our homes and especially make ready the people of God.Like John the Baptist we must - Prepare the Way!
I cannot wait to spend hours with all the families. To sit and talk ofHis love for them and to share all the wonderful expressions of Hislove that He has put into me to give out so freely. India also belongsto God. Liberia, West Africa belongs to God, Mexico belongs to God (ohdid I love my mission trip to Mexico)and we know America belongs toGod. (I love this land that I was born in and pray for her always.) Infact when you get right down to it 'the earth is His footstool' It allbelongs to Him. Most people just don't know it, that's all!
Mat 28:16-20 "Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into amountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, theyworshipped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them,saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go yetherefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of theFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observeall things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with youalway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
