How are you all doing with less sunlight setting in? I cannot urge you too much to buy a Vitamin D supplement and take it daily. It's the only way I've found to live this far North and not be depressed for half of the year.
I've been coming here hoping that inspiration would drop on me from above. There not being any of that happening, I waited. Now it has. lol
I don't know if any of you have found this fellow or not. It's the first time I've heard him speak--I mean really heard him. It was interesting as his life is much like my own. Decades of warning folks about dangers all around us in the air, water, and soil.
I'm going to share the video I just listened to as it seems like a good way to introduce you to this fellow who has shouted from the rooftops about all the ways we are being attacked. Then I'll share the video I just found on his site about the dangers of blue lighting at night. Neither Robert nor I have slept as well since he bought an alarm with blue lighting. Could this be why?
So this is an introduction. I'm a little nervous as I haven't spent hours and hours checking him out before I recommend him to my readers. However, the feeling I got as I listened to his video today is that he is a man of truth in a world of lies.
I give you "The Fullerton Informer!"
Here's the blue light video. I have no idea how long these will be available. You may want to write down other places you can find his videos as he shares them in the top video.
May God use and bless ALL of His children who speak the truth to a world starving for the truth!
From my childhood years (and on) Summer has always been my favorite season. There's no school. Gardens are growing. As a girl, we lived right by the lake in Eureka where happy children splashed and laughed under the hot sun all day! Summer is FUN!!!
As a young mom I still loved Summer best! My children loved splashing in the creek behind the barn. All 3 of them had their own little gardens in my garden. I can remember them joyfully eating fresh peas right out of the pod as they pulled weeds? NOTHING BETTER!
As the MS in my body progressed, I began to notice that cold weather made me hurt even more. Summer, on the other hand, warms my limbs and brings new strength. So yes, Summer is GREAT!
I can recall going into deep depressions as my precious Summers waned. It's much better now that I take a Vitamin D supplement but I still am not shouting out today to the world, "Yay, Summer is over!"
It is important to me today, then, to be careful not to fall into negative thinking! I realize that I need to choose a good attitude at the start of Autumn. I decided to go in search of some Fall poetry. Christian poetry always fills me with a calm gratitude for life as it is. Even though it is hard to say "Goodbye" to my wonderful Summer, life is good in Autumn, too, when God is walking through it with me!!
I pray that this poem blesses your day. Life with the Lord IS filled with blessings all year long! Some days it's harder to see, but with the Lord walking beside me, life is GOOD no matter what the season it is!! Amen?
I don't know what you think about the idea that prophets of God are living today. I used to think that all stopped at the cross. The prophets of Old Testament times told about Jesus's coming and He came. They told about His death and He died. They told He would rise from the dead and He rose from the dead.
The end! What more needs to be said?
I didn't know any prophets so they must not exist. What would God need prophets for today anyway? I really had no interest in this topic until one day I became a prophet. True, I only told one person what God had said but God told me to say it and it happened.
About half a year before my mother died, Father told me that she would die soon. I told my best friend that God had said my mother would die soon. She calmly said, like she always does, "OK." She knows of my walk with the Lord for decades and she, too, knew no prophets. I'm sure she had her doubts about my "Hearing from the Lord" but she very kindly kept them to herself.
Then my mother died. She worked all day; felt a little off at suppertime; kept feeling worse so my dad took her to the clinic she went to. At 8:13 PM she slumped over dead! I won't get into her cause of death but I probably need to do that sometime as it concerns me greatly.
So the prophecy of my mother's unexpected death woke something in me. I started to wonder if God was telling other of His children about the future too. You must imagine my delight when I found THE ELIJAH LIST which I've shared here numerous times. Yes, God DOES speak to His children in our lifetime!
This particular prophecy is hard to share. I hesitate to share it due to the horrible images of child sacrifices. However it is a word that is desperately needed today as our Presidential election draws closer.
I can recall laughing with my best friend, back in 2015, about "That Donald Trump!" When he won the nomination, she said, "NOT DONALD TRUMP!" We were both so glum because we only saw what the mainstream media wanted us to see about him.
I remember starting to love Donald Trump during the debates. Hillary was her usual rich bitch self and oh, so, smug! I laughed for weeks over Trump's declaration, "I'll put you in jail." Today as I watched this video, I laughed when I saw that those words are included in this video.
This prophecy was made during the 2016 Presidential campaign. It was made by a man of God who had heard from God many times. It is an encouragement now, perhaps even more than at the time when it was shared, as our election draws closer.
Satan is stirring up divisions in our country like never before. I have been praying for some way to combat this. Perhaps this video is the tool to bring unity to the church of God?
Will you please join me in praying for our President? He is clearly chosen by God to lead us through this tumultuous time with COVID; all the rioting; and all of the election fraud attempts. When will people understand that they're not bigger than God?
So I share this prophecy with you from Kim Clement. May Father lead and guide you as you process this information. Please share it as He leads you to share. PLEASE pray for our President with greater confidence that he is chosen for such a time as this.
Today is my grandson, Timothy's 3rd birthday. I'm getting ready to wrap his birthday presents. It occurred to me that not all of my readers may have had the "Blessing" of "Getting" to wrap all of the presents for a family of 6 while growing up.
You know how I enjoy sharing the things that I know here. I also enjoy learning from the things I share with all of you. This article looks like it's full of good ideas. I hope that it blesses those of you who may find yourself in need of wrapping a present for someone special in your life.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIMOTHY!!!!!!! We all love you so much!
Wrapping a present is a kind gesture that can show someone how much you care. It's easy to wrap a present if you make all your folds and cuts carefully. When you're done with the basic wrapping, you can give the present a unique touch with bows and embellishments. When finished, you'll have a beautiful gift to present to a loved one.
Method1
Measuring the Paper
1
Remove all of the price tags. Leaving the price tag on a present is generally considered improper etiquette as the recipient doesn't need to know how much you spent. If you cannot remove the sticker, get a black pen and black out the price.
2
Place the gift in a box. It's much easier to wrap something that has a square or rectangular shape. In many cases, like with stuffed toys and clothing, this means placing the gift in a box. You can buy boxes for gifts in the same department store aisle where you buy wrapping paper. You can also use an old box, like a shoebox, you have lying around your home.
It's also a good idea to seal the top of the box with tape to prevent it from coming open during the wrapping process.
3
Unroll the wrapping paper. Work on a flat surface, like a hardwood floor or table. Unroll the wrapping paper across the table. Unroll enough wrapping paper that the paper is about twice the length of the box. Do not cut the wrapping paper from the roll yet.
4
Lay the box topside down over your wrapping paper. Place the box in the middle of the paper, with the top facing down. Place it about halfway between the edge of the wrapping paper and the roll of wrapping paper.[1]
5
Wrap the paper over the box. Take the edge of the wrapping paper and wrap it around the box so it covers about half the box. Then, roll the tube of the wrapping paper over the box all the way to the other end of the box. The box should now be completely covered in wrapping paper.[2]
6
Cut the paper so the wrapping paper overlaps. The wrapping paper should overlap just slightly on top of the box. Cut a straight line across the upper layer of wrapping paper so it overlaps the bottom layer by a few inches or centimeters.[3]
Method2
Wrapping a Box Shaped Present
1
Tape one side of the paper to the box. Once you’ve cut the paper to the right size, you can let go of it. Put the roll of paper aside and grab Scotch tape. Fold one end of the paper over the box and press it flat against the bottom of the box. Place a piece of scotch tape near the middle of the box to secure the paper.[4]
2
Fold over the other side of the paper and tape it down. Fold the other side of the paper over the top of box. Overlap this paper slightly with the paper you just taped down. Place a piece of tape on the center of the box, securing the top layer of paper to the bottom layer.[5]
This piece of paper will be the visible paper on the box. If you want a straighter edge, you can fold the end of the paper inward to create one before taping it down.
If you're wrapping a very big present, you may have to use several pieces of tape just to make sure everything stays in place.
3
Tuck in the paper on the corners of the box. Two sides of the box will still have unfolded paper sticking out. Starting on one side, push both ends of the paper inward so they hug the corners of the box.[6]
4
Crease the triangle-shaped folds. Once the ends are hugging the corners of the box, you will notice four triangle shape folds on each of the box's corners. Use your fingers to crease each fold to secure it.[7]
5
Fold the upper and lower flap together. At this point, on the top and bottom of the box, there should be two trapezoid-shaped flaps. Push the top flap down and crease the edge to secure it. Then, push the bottom flap upward so it overlaps with the top flap. Again, crease the edge to secure the fold.[8]
6
Secure the sides with tape. Take a piece of scotch tape. Tape the upper flap to the lower flap, placing the tape at the center of the box's side. This side of the box should now be fully concealed by wrapping paper.[9]
7
Repeat on the other side. Turn the box around and repeat the exact same process on the other side. Press the wrapping paper at the box's corners inward. Crease all four triangle shape folds. Push the upper flap down and then the lower flap upward. Conceal the folds with tape.[10]
Method3
Wrapping a Cylinder Shaped Gift
1
Measure your object. Measure the circumference of the object using a measuring tape. Add 4 inches (10 cm) to the circumference. Then, measure the rough length of the object from top to bottom and the diameter of the flat side.
To measure the circumference, wrap the measuring tape around the curve of the object.
To measure the diameter, measure the flat side of the object from one end to the other.
If an object has one flat side that's bigger than the other, measure the diameter of the bigger side.
2
Cut out your tissue paper. Cylinder objects should be wrapped in tissue paper instead of wrapping paper. Cut the tissue paper into the shape of a rectangle. The rectangle's width should be the object's circumference plus 4 inches (10 cm). Its height should be the diameter plus the length.
For example, say a circle's circumference was 5 inches (13 cm), its length was 8 inches (20 cm), and its diameter was 4 inches (10 cm). Your rectangle would be 9 inches (23 cm) by 12 inches (30 cm).
3
Place the object in the center of the paper. Spread your paper out on a flat surface. Place the object in the rough center point of the paper.
4
Wrap the paper around the round side. Wrap one side of the tissue paper at a time around the rounder side of the cylinder. One side of the paper should overlap the other side slightly. Tape the upper layer of tissue paper to the lower layer at the midpoint of the object.
5
Twist both ends to enclose the cylinder. The paper on the flat side of the cylinder should still be sticking out. Starting on one end, pinch the paper at the base of the object and twist it around two or three times. Then, wrap a piece of tape around the twist to secure it. Repeat on the other side.[11]
The wrapping job should resemble the wrapping of a piece of candy, like a Tootsie Roll.
Method4
Adding Embellishments
1
Flip over the box. When adding embellishments, you want to work on the top side of the box. Flip the box over, so the edges of the paper are not visible on top of the box.
2
Add a To/From tag. It's always a nice touch to add a To/From tag on a package to give it a personal touch. You can use store-bought tags, which you can find at most department stores. You can also make your own To/From tags by cutting cardboard paper into the shape of tags, covering them with decorative paper, and writing a personal message with a pen or pencil.[12]
3
Tie a bow around the gift. Use a thick ribbon, which you can purchase at a department store. Turn the present upside down, so the seams you taped earlier are facing upward. Tape down the end of the ribbon in the center of the box. Loop it around the package length-wise until the ribbon circles the package completely. Cut the ribbon and tape down the other end.
If desired, you can create a double bow. Repeat this process, but this time wrap the ribbon around the package width-wise.
4
Add stick-on bows. If you want to save some time, use stick-on bows instead. You can buy these at any department store. The bows should have a sticker on the bottom you press against a present to secure it to a gift.
5
Use fake berries or herbs as embellishments. You can buy fake berries and herbs at a local gift shop or craft store. You can glue these onto your presents as a fun, decorative embellishment. This works great for winter holidays, where things like red berries and holly are traditional decorations for the season.[13]
6
Tie bells around the ribbons. If you're going to tie a ribbon in place anyway, try adding some bells. String some bells through the ribbon before wrapping it around the present to add some flare. This is a great embellishment for the holiday season.
