My mom passed away recently after some time in care and the funeral was yesterday. I'm sorry for mentioning that. The last enemy that will be defeated is death. Today I started watching the video of the speaking part of the ceremony that I attended yesterday and started getting shaken up. Listening to Wellington Boone at MorningStar today went together with some themes I wanted to talk about with my brother and sisters, and I wrote to them with many words after the church meeting. That was when I started watching the video of the ceremony and got shaken up. I felt like I had to get out of my apartment and I went to the store to walk around and also to shop. I was hoping that I would see a Christian that I knew, though that did not happen at the store. Then I took some of the food I bought to work since I did not have enough space in my freezer at home and while there I spoke to my boss. It was his birthday and he said thank you for greeting him (which I had not yet done; I didn't know it was his birthday) so I prepared to say "happy birthday" strongly and then suddenly felt the presence of the Lord. I had been wanting that earlier today and then there it was. I had never spoken of that to my boss before, however, I said something like, "I don't know if you are used to this, but I just felt the presence of the Lord". We talked briefly and then I went back to my car to drive home. I was listening to preaching and my pastor said some things from a scripture where the apostle Paul says, "if you count me as a partner". I wondered if the Lord was speaking about thinking so highly of my boss and counting him as my equal in the Lord, where I had not thought of him as a brother like that. When I got back home, I listened to Rick preaching at Gateway in Moravian Falls today and what he was saying also seemed to go with what had happened, though I did not keep a record of what I heard. I'm sorry that I'm not as evident in sharing what I heard. The Lord loves you
