Love

Thought for the day:

LOVE conquers all!! If we just take time to love and be grateful for what we have, where we are, who we are with, we will surely find out that our whole world is a bountiful blessing that we need to pay forward.

Last day of August, 2018..........

Y’all get ready for this Ol Hillbilly’s favorite time of the year!! Fall is in the air and I can’t wait September 1st VLOG on its way!! Praise GOD for all things!!

Let’s begin again!!

I am a sinner saved by grace. I have lived a life of great blessings and great challenges. I am in no way perfect. I am a work in progress, being molded by the masters hand! I have witnessed the power of the one true GOD through JESUS CHRIST my LORD and SAVIOR many times, but, none can compare to what I am seeing GOD doing with my family and my mother!!

 All of Mary Hays and Jack Hays children were in attendance at their house today for the first time in years and what an amazing day we had, there was a sweet spirit in that house today that hadn’t been their for a while we ate and laughed and talked old tales and made new plans, and, and, in the midst of this miracle my mother who had been on deaths door these past few days literally, literally, not having eaten a bite since the doctors sent her home under the direction of Hospice, was by 3:00 p.m. sitting up in bed laughing and talking like it was 20 years ago! She ate chicken and drank her customary sprite with an ENSURE in that line up somewhere, but wait it’s not over yet, we all gathered around mom and we began talking with her about what she wanted her next step to be and after a long beautiful conversation about the reality of her imminent death she says she has stuff she wants to do and fight for!!! 

So, wait, hold on, it’s gets even better!! My sister Erin Hays McKeown who is along with my mother the greatest nurse to walk the planet says ok then that settles it we are calling for the ambulance to take you to TMH and get your strength up and then I will have it ready for you to be transferred to the rehab in Sarasota so I can be there to help you get over the humps and dad can stay with us too while your there. Then you guys can just stay down there if you want permanent. But wait it gets better!! After many personal battles my other sister Sarah Hays is going to relocate down there with her son also and be rid of the demonic idiots that have caused her so much grief!! 

So as of 6:00 p.m. this evening my mother is on the road to recovery at TALLAHASSEE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL and our family has started a reconciliation of biblical proportions!! Now you can say it with me: GLORY TO GOD FOR HIS MERCY AND HIS GRACE AND HIS MASTERFUL HAND making whole so much that had been broken for so long!! 

I am now to the portion of this status update that I need if you have gotten nothing else from this I need you to get: GOD is in control whether you believe that or not he is in control, if you don’t know JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and personal SAVIOR you have no idea what GOD can do for you and your life!! I beg even if there is one out there please head these words and come to JESUS!! I would love to talk with you personally if you would let me, we can go to GODS word and I can walk the ROMAN  road with you and show you each step to being saved but not just for the miracles that you can see worked in your life, but for your eternal home in heaven with our LORD!! I LOVE y’all so much it has been a day of unforgettable renewal for this Ol Hillbilly and I praise GOD for all things!! Help me give him glory for these miracles!! 

Below are the fantastic five of this branch of the Hays tree: Nathan Hays, Sarah Hays, Ol Hillbilly, Erin Hays Mccowen( Erin it wouldn’t tag you and I know I spelled your last name wrong tell Joel I’m sorry), and Ol Ed or lil Jack Hays!! This is a mighty pretty bunch of folks whom I am so proud to call my brothers and sisters!!

And then.........

I have for quite some time been under the misconception that I had it all figured out!! Well LOL, and even LMBO, I hadn’t even been close. GOD is the captain of our ship and if he isn’t given full control we are destined to run aground or hit an iceberg. 

I have come to the place that if I don’t relinquish control to him I know beyond a shadow of a doubt the SS HILLBILLY is gonna sink soon!! I thank GOD for his grace and mercy to allow me to see this before catastrophic things take place. Praise GOD for all things including my life which he bought with the price of his son JESUS. 

I am giving a call out to all those reading this who are in the same place I am.......and are ready for a lifelong captain change before it’s too late. Ask forgiveness, Believe he is king, and live for him and allow him full control!

I love y’all, until next time, see ya on the porch for a glass of Tea and good conversation.

Loose lips sink ships....

I praise GOD for this opportunity to visit with you here on the porch. I been thinking how as time goes on and people and places in our lives change we have so many different ways we all deal with our daily races. There are those who go through our routines basically do anything and everything we are asked or told to do blindly and telling all of our intentions and plans and goals to the world in general. I have started rethinking this approach. I have come to the decision that we don’t need to openly tell all to all. The world has an uncanny way of slowing or stopping anything that they become envious of or they want to do harm to. Work hard to achieve all that GOD is leading you to do but be very selective of whom you tell your plans to everyone who inquires is not on your team they may be looking to bring glory to the enemy and we want no part of that.
