For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
(Romans 11:25)

So, wo-
(feeling tired)
oh- yes, toxic people around me,
oh- feeling better, much better, Papa in Heaven,
great, energising or re-energising, and marvellous
are Your deeds, Almighty One.

Anna, a very old woman,
a señorita
(a saying from the Chinese language: '
the old ginger is the spicy ginger, the ginger
that has sufficient kick to taste-buds'
ha-ha-ha-ha (laughing))
señorita, señor, senile, derived from the word
(Latin maybe) 'sen', which means 'old'. related
note, this is, since G!D has given me such an
argument - of course, this is a supposition,
a claim, which may or may not be true - false knowledge,
as valid an argument nonetheless as the argument that
follows: 'the moon is blue'
there is book titled 'everything is an argument' if you
are interested, but beginning godless chatter- so-
Anna, señorita, seventy-eight years
and eighty-seven days old, widowed, who did
nothing except fasting and praying to G!D, and praising
G!D of course, in temple, took the new-born
(the Anointed One, that is) into her arms, with
the permission of those were holding him,
and thanked G!D, and sang praises to G!D.
And returned the Anointed One, new-born,
to the arms of those who had held him.
And Joseph (the man) and Mary, mother of
the Anointed One, who had conceived with help of
G!D, and help of no man, returned with the Anointed
One to their home-town.
Ruler of the Universe, hallowed is thy name.
(so grateful)
To the Compassionate and Most Merciful One be glory for-ever and ever.

'They overcame the temptations of the tempter, and
the beast, with the sacrifice of the Lamb, and their confessions
of their wrong-doings' (book of Revelations, maybe)
blessed art thou, Father in Heaven
Ruler of the Universe,
who causes harvest
in suitable time
and His Higher ways
and drought
in suitable time
and His Higher ways (thank You, Papa, for loving me,
even me)
Thank You, Papa, for G!D sends guidance:
'Do not worship me. Just like you,
I am a servant of G!D. Worship G!D,
who has not a being attached or associated
to G!D'
Glory be to G!D (Amen)
Through Christ Jesus
'husbands with wife, concern is on affairs
of the world; interest is divided. how to please
wife? he think to himself.
wives with husbands, concerned with affairs
of the world - how to please her husband?
she thinks to herself, 'how to keep him happy?'
man or woman, un-married, concern is on
affairs of the LORD G!D, who cherishes and sustains
the worlds, the One and Only Judge on the Day
of Judgment, and how to devote themselves
in body and spirit and mind and what-have-you
to the LORD.
So, man with wife, concerns- his focus is divided.
woman with husband, her focus is divided.
man, woman, unmarried, focus is on pleasing the LORD G!D,
who, as writ, says 'I the LORD G!D am a jealous G!D. Thou
shalt not take for worship any before the LORD G!D (who has
no beings attached.'
Further, in the book of Revelations, it is written,
'They overcome the beast with the confessions of their
wrong-doings or faults, and with the sacrifice of the Lamb.'
(or something like that)
Hm...
Still, it is written in Scriptures: 'Who am I to say what he or
she ought to do? He has his gift from G!D. She has her gift from
G!D. Why would I want to put a load upon them, with my words,
that I cannot help to ease one atom-wiggle at all?'
Praise be to G!D
(i'm so grateful)
Thank You, Daddy who is greater than I, Most High LORD
who loves justice and detests wickedness, and cherishes
and sustains the worlds: the Compassionate and Most Merciful
One, the Accepting of repentance, oft-forgiving, oft-returning and kind
to the wicked and ungrateful, the numbers of whom
I count myself into
The role of the faithkeeper, who is
occupying an acknowledged role
among the people of her tribe,
respectable position in her society, that is,
is to put people (back) into a position
of ease, (true) peace (that is not troubling at all on heart),
and no un-necessary fear, in times of great
distress, or earthquakes, or unexpected events,
or disease, or the Man-made view of the world
as a 'fight-or-flee' place - ah, yes, stress.
A related idea that coming to mind is
the 'wounded healer'. 'shaman', if you want
to narrow your search, if you want to use or
explore a - what they call it - a marvel of
steel, plastic, glass, minerals, so-called
'fossils' - for without G!D, nothing that is
made is made, hm, you'll know
when G!D lets you know. And I am not above G!D,
whom I fear greatly in awe; He is greater than I,
for sure!
(story of faithkeeper came from a book that G!D
brought me before: 'Mister Everit... what I learnt
from the richest man in the world' or title such like.)
so, the richest man in the world learnt how to do business
from a book that he had read. the book was titled
'Good lemonade'. Fine, yes, I'll tell you the story
in the book that is in a book. 'Good lemonade'.
Once upon a time, a boy wanted many times,
things that he laid his eyes upon, as was usual
with people. It's lovely in a way, how people have
desires, definitely not to judge, nor to condemn people
for having desires like that. (who doesn't?)
And then, he discovered one day that he had lemonade-material,
so he wanted to buy a comic book. He thought, to himself, humming,
drumming his fingers on a block of plastic, 'Ah, if I sell lemonade,
I will be in possession, if I am lucky, of enough honey, which I can
use to buy a comic book as my heart wishes, like picking a Tarot
card, you know.' For the people of the village that he lived in valued honey
very much, and made gestures of appreciation in units of honey. (he may or may not be
a bear, and the people of that village may or may not be a bear)
So, he set up a stall, which ah- airily he did, with materials that
he had from his possessions, and made lemonade from the
lemonade-material that he had discovered, and waited.
And waited. One or two people came to his stall, then more,
and more. And he had more honey than he ever had in his life.
So he got his comic book, giving honey-units in exchange
for it.
Then he realised something. (for he wanted to have more
honey-units. What's the saying, or cultural myth: 'a plant
that has tasted blood grows blood-thirsty - can be a little scary,
yes - begins to hunger and thirst for regular drops of blood instead of
water that it had been fed on') so, aw, he wanted honey-units,
when he got comic-book - had comic-book. Then, yes, he realised
something, the people who had visited his lemonade stall did not return.
They bought from him once, but never returned.
He ah- could only wonder why.
Then the news came to him that there ah-
ow, how infuriating for him - there was another lemonade
seller in the same village as he.
And exasperatingly, in a way that turned him green
with envy, he unhappily observed that people returned
to the new stall for seconds, and thirds, after their first
visit.
He had had enough! He went to the new lemonade stall,
and queued up himself, and tried the lemonade that people
returned to the new stall for. Then he saw that the lemonade
was good. Very good. Very very good. So good, that he wanted
to return for seconds. (and thirds)
Oh, then he remembered his stall, and he went back to it.
Then he added sugar and spice to his lemonade - and sometimes served it
with
a stick of cinnamon on the side, too. Sugar, spice, and everything nice that he had.
And when he opened his stall again, he saw that people
returned for seconds and thirds and fourths even, wow,
they kept returning so often, he stopped counting sometimes.
Returning to buy his lemonade after they already had one.
This is the story of 'Good lemonade', which is based
off a story that appeared in a book entitled something like
'Mister Everit: what I learnt from the richest man in the world'
