One of the things I miss from back east is the Italian festival.
One thing from the festival that I miss is how I would see everyone I knew, even people who had moved away would return just for those festivals.
Those festivals would celebrate some saint and for about a week or so there would be music, games and food. Lots and lots of food. One that I love is called a zeppole. It’s just a big ball of dough that’s deep fried then covered in powdered sugar. When you get the bag with either 6 or 13(bakers dozen) you would have to shake it to make sure the sugar coated each and every piece and you had to make sure it happened while the zeppole was still hot so it can stick or you would just end up with a big lump of greasy tasting sugar. 😂
The bag would get that greasy look to it, powdered sugar would get all over your face and clothes but you didn’t mind because when you took one bite of that hot fried dough ball covered in sugar, you were in pure bliss even if just for a minute. You didn’t even care if you happened to burn your lips or tongue on some of the hot grease that happened to ooze out when you bit it.
The only thing that was best with having a zeppole is enjoying it while in the company of friends or family.
And water, plenary of water. 😂
The festival of St. Ann’s had the best zeppoles anywhere. I don’t know what those women put into that batter but whatever it was made them taste great!!!
Yeah, that’s one of the things I miss from back home.
So, If you’re ever in the east coast and happen upon an Italian festival make sure to get yourself some zeppoles.
You won’t regret it.

Just thought I’d share this with you.

Translation:

The last day of the year 2023 and in my heart there is only gratitude to God.
I went through difficult times but also through many, many, good times full of blessings and God has always been by my side showing his faithfulness.
Thank you God for keeping your promises.

1 Thessalonians 5:18,
give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Happy New Year 2024!
I pray and ask Jesus to cover everyone who reads this with his blood and grace and make 2024 a good year for us all.
In his name, amen 🙏🏽

So this is me in the hospital again because of diabetic foot issues. Another toe has been amputated and even though I was sad about it, thinking about all my Nike’s, shoes and socks that I have to wear and how am I going to sport them being I’m losing parts of my feet I was reminded of Job in the Bible and this verse where he says:
“Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.”
Job 1:21 which then reminded me of Philippians 4:6-7 which says,
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
You see, I was stressing about how am I now going to do things with my kids, around the house, how was I going to drive or just even walk. I was stressing about how i, at 49 am still young because I still feel like I’m 24 and now how was I supposed to be there for my family. I don’t want to have to depend on them or rather, have to put this burden on them to have to constantly do things for me.
This is when God, through the Holy Spirit used the internet to show me I shouldn’t be stressing about it because if he blessed Job, Paul and many others because of their faith in him, he could and is going to bless me because of my unwavering faith in him. And I know he will because I have many stories of how God has saved me from death, illness’ and has blessed me with so much.
So I’m here to serve as a testimony to and for you. That when you think things are going bad, when you think it’s the end or the worst, when you think things can’t and won’t get better, just look at me, my life and what I’ve had to endure but have come out victorious because of my God and his promise to always keep us safe and blessed as long as we remain faithful to him.
Just keep looking at him. Keep seeking him. Keep reading the Bible and talk to those who have Jesus in their heart and the Holy Spirit around them at all times and you will see how things will get better for you as well.
God bless you.
