If you could meet ONE PERSON...

IN HISTORY!!!

(Not Biblical)

.

Most people name someone like George Washington or Hellen Keller or Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison or Martin Luther King, 

buuuuuuuuuuut 

lets be REAL, 

I'm NOT MOST PEOPLE!!!

WHO WOULD I PICK???

Nothing is wrong….

What's wrong WITH ME??? Have you ever wondered WHY your not getting that ONE THING you really, really, really want???? We all have hopes, dreams and desires. All of us have at least one thing we really really want and for whateverrrr reason, God has chosen to allow us to NOT have it. 

.

I've been thinking about the blind man God healed in the Bible, the disciples asked Jesus, Who sinned, this man or his parents? and Jesus said to them, Neither, but that God would be made manifest! It got me to thinking, Everyone wants THE MIRACLE, buuuuuuuut nobody wants to be blind!!!

.

Everyone wants THE MIRACLE, 

buuuuuuuuuuuut nobody wants to be the BARREN WOMAN!

.

Everyone wants THE MIRACLE,

 buuuuuuuuuuuuuut NOBODY wants THE SICKNESS!!!!

.

Everyone wants THE MIRACLE,

 buuuuuuuuuuuut NOBODY wants to be BROKE!!!!

.

Everyone wants THE MIRACLE,

 buuuuuuuuuuuut NOBODY wants to LOSE THEIR JOB!!!!

.

Everyone wants THE MIRACLE, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut NOBODY wants THE HURT!!!!

EVERYONE wants THE MIRACLE, 

buuuuuuuuuuuut NOBODY wants THE DISAPOINTMENT!!!

EVERYONE wants THE MIRACLE, buuuuuuuuuut NOBODY wants THE LOSS!!!

.

EVERYONE wants THE MIRACLE buuuuuuuuut NOBODY wants to be the SINGLE 40-year-old!!!

.

Buuuuuuuuuuut there would be NO miracle without the blind man, the barren woman, the sickness, the poor, the loss of a job, the hurt, the disappointment, the loss, the singleness. 

Why??? Why? Why? Why? WHY??? What's wrong with me? 

.

NOTHING IS WRONG.

God WANTS TO BE MADE MANIFEST IN YOUR LIFE!!!

.

I don't want to be poor, buuuuuuuuut I still remember soooooo vividly as a 9-year-old girl, my mom had figured out all our bills and she put the money in the bank, then she realized she had calculated wrong and she was $10 short. That meant the account would bounce, there would be fees and we would be out even more money that we didn't have. My mom prayed "God you have to help me somehow get $10." We were at a red light at tatum and shea and my mom saw something green blowing back and forth in the intersection as cars drove by. "THAT'S MONEY!" My mom yelled out! I'll get it I yelled, I ran out, got it, jumped back in the van, it's $10 dollars I SCREAMED!!! We did a U-turn and my mom deposited that $10 right into the bank!!! I'll never FORGET THAT MOMENT!!! I don’t WANT to be poor, buuuuuutGod was manifested to a 9-year-old little girl!!! 

.

I have a Non-believing, Jewish friend that told me a while ago she wants me to get married sooooo bad! She’s told me she’s basically just no religious preference at this point in her life. I was like, well if you want me to get married ENOUGH to PRAY to Jesus for me! And she told me just the other day that she STILL prays every day, to JESUS for me to get married and have lots of kids!!! Her whole entire prayer life is based on my singleness!! If ONE SOUL is saved from my looooooooong wait to get married, it’s WORTH IT!!! That's God being made manifest in my life!!!

.

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

.

ARE YOU WILLING TO BE BLIND, 

SO THAT SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT SEE JESUS???

Mary’s Random History lesson!!!

1. Sit back my lil children, MARY, is about to teach:

THE HISTORY OF MAYONAISE!!!

 

♥

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise (Now more commonly known a Best Foods) was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York . This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is, of course, known as...

♥

Sinko de Mayo

AKA: CINCO DE MAYO!!!

 .

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm like, literally soooooo FUNNY!!! If NO ONE else laughs, it's ok, BECAUSE I DID!!! Cracks me up EVERY YEAR!!! Hope Everyone has a good Cinco de Mayo!!!

Branson Trip 2025!!!

I regret wearing this on the trip because i had a wardrobe issue and had to change before we even left and then the sweat-skirt suit took up soooo much space in duffel bag… that is WHY i ran out of space on the way home- NOT BECAUSE I DID TO MUCH SHOPPING 🛍️ in Branson!! ;)

Getting ready for take off!!!

Honestly, i had been sooooo looking forward to eating here again buuuuuuut it just wasn’t as good as the first time we went in 2023!!!

Milkshakes!!

The kids in jacuzzi time!!!!

You know you’re in in the Bible belt when this is on display 

at safeway!!!! Buuuuuuut IT SHOULD BE THE NORM!!!

Promise Land Zoo!!! It’s pretty cool if you have kids because they make it fun 🤩 but otherwise not really something i would just go too!!!
https://yelp.to/Eu_cuUo-Od

Odie mom moment!!!

Sooooooo we’re in Branson and O decides he really, really, REALLY WANTS TO GO ZIPLINING!!! 

.

So he is as his mom ashe says ok we’ll see!!! And he’s like well mom i have my money at home and i’ll pay you back and she’s like it’s ok and he’s like well mom i really do NOT want to to steal your money 💰!!!!

.

Then he pauses and says,

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT…

You basically exist

TO PAY FOR ME!!!!

.

We started laughing soooooo hard!!!! I was like weeeeeelllllll that’s pretty much what you sign up for when you choose to have kids!!!! You exist FOR THEM!!!! 

♥Mary Frances :)

Biggest Childhood disappointment!!!

When the song leader said let’s get behind Brother Abbott today when he preaches!!! As a 5 or 6 year old, you have NO idea how fun 🤩 that sounded!!! I was like WOW the preaching is ACTUALLY going to be interesting today!!! 

.

And Bishop Abbott preached and preached and i kept waiting for us to get behind him and i was trying to figure out how we’d all fit behind him, because even though the church ⛪️ congregation on Pima road was very small, so was the platform!

.

And the whole time he’s preaching, i’m just trying to figure out how we’re all gonna stand behind him!!! I have no clue what he preached about but he preached and preached and preached and i was just waiting in anticipation for the moment WE ALL STOOD BEHIND HIM!!! Much to my utter and complete disappointment, WE NEVER GOT BEHIND THE PREACHER THAT DAY!!!

.

From time to time i’d hear the song leader say that again before it was time for the preaching, LETS ALL GET BEHIND THE PREACHER TODAY!!! And every time i’d wait to get behind him and we NEVERRRRR DID!!!  I was like WHY do they always say this and everyone claps and the. they all just sit there and never get behind him???

.

You would think that the song leader would at least LEAD EVERYONE BEHIND THE PREACHER SINCE HE’S THE ONE THAT KEEPS SAYING IT!!!!

.

buuuuuuuut alas, WE NEVERRRRR GOT BEHIND THE PREACHER… 

NOT EVEN ONCE!!!

Gradually, I began to understand the meaning as i got older, (like a year ago!!!;)

Happy Sunday!!!

There is no greater than hate the hate of the devil 😈 to destroy your soul and keep you from your savior and yet, no greater love than the love of a God willing to die for the redemption of your soul from an eternity in hell, to be with Him forever in heaven!!! 💕

.

When I saw these at Safeway, amidst my healthyISH grocery shopping, i kneeeeeeeeew I HAD TO TAKE THE TEST

GRAPE 🍇 OR STRAWBERRY 🍓 ???

🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓🍇🍓

MY FINAL DECISION….

I can’t decide because…

THEY BOTH NEED MORE JELLY!!!

. 

A very thin layer of jelly that is very much over powered by the rest the peanut butter in the reese’s cup!!! it definitely needed 2x the amount of jelly to really get a taste 👅 for an actual PBJ reeses!!!! Come on reese’s, if you’re gonna do a PBJ do it RIGHT!!! Jelly should be oozing out!!!

♥Mary Frances :)
