Resolutions Are A Blessing To Be Alive

Book 153



Hebrews 12:2 - 2. Looking into Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of GOD.

 


My family and I are about to celebrate New Year's Day, I'm still not about resolutions into the future, because you never know what the future will hold. I'm into saying, "If GOD spare all of our lives through into the next year", because we all don't know if another day is promised. So...I take one day at a time, and pray for another day; an extra day of life to come. I think about what my family and I are going to do for the New Year. No plans are in the making, if GOD spare all of our lives, only living for today.

There is no resolution for today, or any other day in which GOD has given to us. I do believe my family and I will do a little feast...a family tradition that is still in effect today. I don't know why our tradition is made for making a pot of black eye peas and greens, or what it will bring to the New Year, or what it means, but it's our tradition. And it will continue until there is no one else to continue it's tradition.

This post was dated back in December. I never got chance to publish right away, because of my family's set backs, and moving into my niece Octavia's home has left us with complete homelessness. We didn't ask to be homeless, but...I thank GOD and his son JESUS for life, health and strength. Nothing more can be a blessing, but...to have my niece to give her immediate family a place to stay, and we're thankful for it.

A New Year Blessing

Book 110






Ezekiel 34:26 - 26. And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.




What a blessing it is to see another year. Just like I stated in a recent post, I don't make New Year's resolutions, I live day by day. Only GOD and his son JESUS provide you and bless you with days on your life. And I'm very thankful to see this day of celebration. Happy New Year's!

I'm up with my sister Sherri, my son Zachary (since he's out of school for the holidays) at 1:56 am watching a Friday the 13th marathon. Yes...I love horror films of curse. My son does too. I guess I like 'creepy' comedy before bedtime. No nightmares intended for my son and I, because nothing seem to scare us on a regular basis.

We watch episodes of Friday the 13th until we couldn't watch them anymore. Sherri, Zachary and I went to bed. It was six hours in the early morning. I went to get my mother Ruth from her home at The Avenue and brought her back to my home. We arrived at my home shortly after I had stopped to the store to get gas and other things I need to get. We didn't do much but sat around watching Cold Case and making conversation...maybe ate a little and that's it.

All and all it was a great day. I took my mother home hours after her visit with us (Sherri, Lorenzo, Zachary and myself) and then I had to go to Walmart to the customer service desk to set up my car payment and credit card payment account. Afterwards...Sherri, Zachary, my great nephew Christian and I were on our way back home, until we got this call out of the ordinary. Sherri received a call from one of her niece's about another niece that was in trouble. She had just gotten thrown out of a home that her mother placed her in where she was a stranger to everyone in the home.

Sherri's niece Kristal...who lived in a home with this woman (who was unknown to her and to us) and her six son's. "Six son's!" Kristal was the only girl in the house full of boys, and her mother placed with all these boys was totally unfounded. She called and let us (Sherri and I) know that she got thrown out, because one or more of the boys touched her she claimed. Sherri and I didn't waste time going to pick her up from the location where she said she was, which was the Circle K.

We retrievced Kristal and took her to her sister Alexis over in the City of Tampa. She had been very worried about the whereabouts of her sister Kristal, because of their so called mother had placed Kristal in that home with this woman and her six son's, so that her and Alexis wouldn't have contact with each other ever again. Some kind of nasty situation isn't it? This was how Kristal and Alexis biological mother was. Neglectful, abusive, digusting, and pathetic. I know Sherri and I did the right thing when we went and picked up Kristal and took her to her sister, Alexis, because all and all, Social Services gave full custody of her sister Kristal to Alexis.

That was the most amazing thing that happened, and it was all within a hour, when the two sisters was reunited after months and months of not knowing where one another were. I was thankful Sherri and I had something to do with reuniting the two sisters together. "January 1, 2019." That will always be the day Sherri and I did a super awesome deed for two sisters, a New Year's blessing. We will never forget it!

Our New Year's Eve Bash

Book 109












Lamentations 3:40 - 40. Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD




It's New Year's Eve, and I'm getting ready to bring it in with a bang. But...a bang isn't what it amount to be with an explosion. I woke up this morning with a mild pain in my right side. I didn't know what to expect, but...I've decided not to think no more of it. At least for now.

My brother-in-law Lorenzo decided to start barbecuing for the start of our New Years Eve bash, because he had to work for the New Year. He had a lot of food to be prepared and to place on the grill: Chicken, hot dogs and hamburger. I love the smell of the grill burning. It reminded me of my FATHER when he was grilling in his front yard. I really miss him very much.

Sherri, our mother Ruth and I sat and watched "In The Heat Of The Night" to pass time while we waited on Lorenzo to put the food on the grill to cook. We loved that show very much. Lots of big things happen in a small imaginary town of Sparta, Mississippi. The moments were peaceful as we sat very quietly on the couch and watched our favorite television sit com. Even my puppy dog Sheba sat quietly without a sound.

I would took a moment out of my time during this post and of the New Year's Eve bash to talk about something that came to mind while I'm sitting with my sister and mother Ruth watching In The Heat Of The Night. Something I thought of that happened 13 years prior before my FATHER died. I remembered a time when I was in my first apartment, I had this dream. It was so weird, I had to tell it in order to ease my conscience about what happened and how it came to pass. I dreamed of my FATHER laying in a casket in this place that was unknown to me.

I didn't know where it was, or how I got there to be exact. This place had so many rooms in it. One of the rooms (this one room in particular) I found my FATHER in the casket. In one of the other rooms, I found this choir singing. I didn't know, or quit comprehend what they were singing, but...they were all lined up in this one room just singing up a storm. This one room I was totally focused on where my FATHER was lying in his casket.

I started walking into this room to see and view my FATHER in his casket. I couldn't believe or place into terms of my FATHER dying! I looked around in this room and I could not find my FATHER. I thought, "That's odd!" I'm in tears, and I'm wondering, 'where is he?'

I was traveling from room to room to room trying to find my FATHER, but I couldn't find him anywhere, like he disappeared into thin air. And then...I came back to the room where the choir were singing their praises. I was crying so hard! Here's how the dream ended. I got up out of my bed and I was looking around for my FATHER in my apartment and I couldn't find him anywhere.

My face was flooded in tears. I looked around as I started back to my bedroom and found that my pillow was soaking wet with my tears. Then...I looked around while I was in my bed out into the living room, wondering where my FATHER was in the equation. I found myself in a catatonic like state for just a brief moment.

Then I came to my senses. I had been up all night with that dream on my mind. I got ready for work. I remembered at work telling a woman who was into the LORD about my dream, and she said, "I dreamed of a wedding, not a funeral." I told myself, "How can that be when I dreamed of my FATHER in a casket?" From that point...I might dreamed of my FATHER'S death and I didn't know it come to pass 13 years to the date. In The Heat Of The Night just ended it's episode. Lorenzo had just finished a round of chicken, butt pork steaks, hamburger and hot dogs, I decided to get started on the baked beans and put the macaroni on for my sister Sherri, because she had just taken our mother for her dialysis treatments. She will then make the cheese for the macaroni when she got back from taking our mother Ruth for her dialysis treatments.

Wow! I really enjoy time with my family at our New Year's Eve barbecue bash. I'm very thankful for the time we share together. Sherri returned to make the cheese for the macaroni, I stood and watched,  while the rest of my immediate family stood around outside talking and laughing about everything that was mentioned, while my brother-in-law Lorenzo finished cooking on the grill. Still...the thought of my FATHER cooking on his grill brought back a lot of wonderful memories. Memories that would last a lifetime.

I finished up the baked beans; Sherri had just finished the cheese for the macaroni. She placed two long pans of macaroni and cheese in the oven. She then put a pot of Italian green beans.We waited until everything were ready to eat. Sherri and I couldn't wait until the real celebration for our barbecue bash began so that we as a immediate family can really began sharing time together and enjoying the barbecue (chicken, butt pork, hamburgers and hot dogs) macaroni and cheese, baked beans and real Italian green beans.

Wow...I can't wait until then! And to end it all...my family and I were to attend watch night services (church) to bring the New Year in the name of GOD and his son JESUS. Wow! I pray that my family and I make it to see the New Year 2019 come in. I will be truly a blessing indeed.

Living In Peace And In Love

Book 79














Ephesians 4:31 - 32 - 31. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking be put away from you with all malice.  32. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as GOD for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. 

John 13:34 - 34. A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another

James 4:11 -12 - 11. Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12. There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

Galatians 5:16 - 26 - 16. This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, Fornication, Uncleanness, Lasciviousness, 20. Idolatry, Witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, Wrath, Strife, Seditions, heresies. 21. Envying, Murders, Drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall no inherit the Kingdom of GOD. 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, Long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. 










I guess time will tell as I began to pray every single day for peace in my life.  It hasn't been easy for me and my immediate family after the death of my FATHER, but...I'm very determined to make the best of what I have in front of me. Of course...GOD and his son JESUS, my son Zachary, and the rest of my immediate family.  I can say I'm very happy as I write this post.  GOD and his son JESUS is with me every minute of every micro second.

What else can I do, but live life to the fullest?  There is nothing more I want, but to live by GOD and his son JESUS word.  I want to make a difference for me first, before I can teach Zachary how to live by GOD and his son JESUS so he can live a better and calmer life for himself.  I don't want to be angry anymore than I've been for the past year, one month and almost two weeks. My FATHER is gone to HEAVEN and he has his wings.

I feel in my heart my FATHER was my reality check to straighten my life and live life to the fullest with my immediate family. Wow! What a circle of love I have with my immediate family.  I'm very thankful to GOD and his son JESUS.  But I will leave this thought with everyone I post to worldwide, "Minnie Lou will still continue reap and suffer the consequences of GOD and his son JESUS vengeance for what she did to my FATHER and my immediate family.

I'm going to still vent about her, but I'm going to let my animosity go about her, because I'm tired.  She will always be my enemy!  I will keep her closer to me and love her...even though.  What she did to my FATHER and immediate family was totally wrong and her daughters Sherese and Lousondra and her husband Sam should always take heed to her wrong doing. So with that said...enough about Minnie Lou until my feelings are mutual.

Let us all (immediate family) move on to bigger and better things in our lives. We've all talked about it over and over for this year 2018.  I don't want to carry baggage anymore. No more burdens down in my soul and in my heart.  It's warring my down.

I'm confessing my heart to GOD and his son JESUS for repentance, guidance, joy, faith, love, belief and total comfort.  I will never get over my FATHER being gone, but I just want peace and happiness right, so that I can start living again.

Building On A New Years Family Tree 2017

Book 23 - Special Edition - This Is Personal For The Sake Of My Father



Wesley Jr. & The Late Wesley Brunson Sr.
Copyright 2016  All Rights Reserved.


Romans 8 - Entire Chapter (1-39) - Free From Indwelling Sin - From Suffering To Glory

1. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.  2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  3. For what the law could not do, in that was weak through the flesh, GOD sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin condemned sin in the flesh.  4. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  5. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.  6. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  7. Because the canal mind is enmity against GOD: for it is not subject to the law of GOD, neither indeed can be.  8. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please GOD.  9. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of GOD dwell in you.  Now if any man have not Spirit of Christ, he is none of this.  10. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.  11. But if the Spirit  of him that is raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.  12. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.  13. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.  14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of GOD, they are the sons of GOD.  15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Ab-ab Father.  16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of GOD.  17. And if children, then heirs; heirs of GOD, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.  18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.  19. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of GOD.  20. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope.  21. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of GOD.  22. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.  23. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption to wit the redemption of our body.  24. For we are saved by hope; but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?  25. But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.  26. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we knoe not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  27. And he that searcheth the hearts  knoweth what is the mind of the Spiri, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of GOD.  28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to his purpose.  29. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.  30. Moreover whom he did predestinate them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified; and whom he justified them he also glorified.  31. What shall we then say to these things? If GOD be for us, who can be against us?  32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?  33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of GOD's elect?  It us GOD that justifieth.  34. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of GOD, who also maketh intercession for us.  35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  36. As it is written, FOR THY SAKE WE ARE KILLED ALL THE DAY LONG; WE ARE ACCOUNTED AS SHEEP FOR THE SLAUGHTER.  37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.  38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come.  39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of GOD, which is Christ Jesus our LORD.




This one is for you, "Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather RIP Wesley Brunson Sr."

"I don't know!" I can't help the way I feel about how things went in 2016,  What a hellish year it was for my immediate family.  GOD and his son JESUS know I hated to say the word "hellish" in one sentence, but look at the concept in which conspiracy reared it's ugly head.    You know the saying when the devil works night and day to bring sorrow, unhappiness, hurt, grief to those who are his main targets of his evil works?  Let me answer that.  GOD and his son JESUS is good all the time! 2017 belongs in the eyes of the beholders in this madness.  My pilots are masters of fighting wars that are hard to win mortally.  There is nothing my family and I would do to get in the way of our pilots works.  Nothing!  We're so tired of being "bamboozled" into thinking that someones power means something in the year of 2017.  What ever is and was back then is no more!  "Get it!"  GOD is still fighting this "old cold war" that ended back in 2016.  Its time for my family and I to move on with life and leave those "old clothes" behind; healing old wounds, so that we can start building on our new family tree of 2017.  I'm letting it known worldwide that GOD and his son JESUS will be the starting those beautiful "righteous" leaves, strengthening the stem and branches with joy for our new family tree.  "Our new family tree leaves will be greener than ever!" It will be filled with life, love, laughter, comfort, hope, faith, purity, strength, perseverance, prayer, peace and the future for my family and I to move on with a new life to look forward to in the eyes of the beholder.  "Dad will also be that heavenly stem and branches that helps uphold our new family tree together mortally."  No more yellow leaves fallen by the way side on our new family tree!  Nothing evil will surpass it's beauty my family and I are building on with the help of GOD and his son JESUS.  By saying that it brings me to think in the matter of building my family's new tree that time is way too short to keep moving on like we have all the time in the world to keep sparking up surprises to throw back at someone in order to bring more pain, anguish and grief to those who want to have good hearts, minds, bodies and souls through out the New Year, if all lives are spared by our pilots.  Doing wrong unto others will never get anyone anywhere, but unto the direction of Hades.   From my immediate family and I..to our extended family who gave love, happiness, and support:  To those who are my immediate family's new leaves on our family tree, "We will not forget you and the support you gave our throughout the entire time my family and I were in despair, grief, pain, hurt, tears, heartbreak and unhappiness during the patriarch's of our family illness and unto his untimely death."  We thank you for everything you all have done for my immediate family and more and then some.  Your blessings GOD and his son JESUS will come in bushel baskets and tons for your great works and support for our family.  We will never for get you all for that.  Ever!  GOD and your son JESUS...I thank you for my new family tree and my new family still growing with the new arrival...maybe this month, or next month...adding that extra new leaf to my family's new family tree.   To our FATHER: Your immediate family hope an pray that you can finally RIP Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather Wesley Brunson Sr. after this old cold war is fought and won from our pilots (GOD and his son JESUS).


Our Family is asking everyone for prayer (whomever see this post) worldwide.  We will appreciate everyone and we will acknowledge everyone prayers to the family in heart, mind, body and soul."
