LOOKING FOR THAT BLESSED HOPE - Lilaclady Junebug2

                   

                     

LOOKING FOR THAT 
BLESSED HOPE 

Lilaclady Junebug2  


Titus 2.13

"Looking for that blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing 
of the great GOD AND
OUR SAVIOUR 
JESUS CHRIST." 

YORK BEACH MAINE 19110 - BREWER RESIDENCE
(BROWN/BREWER FAMILY)


MY LIGHTHOUSE BY THE SEA
Paintng from years ago  
which I used for my Blog.   


It was in 2015 that I moved here

to Blaine, WA from Ellensburg, WA.

In 2012 Henry went on to glory

and it has been almost 10 years 

this year in the month of June.



                               As the birds migrate in their

season, so too, we find ourselves

thrust forth into another year.

My focus is upon the 

PROMISE 

that our Lord Jesus Christ 

gave to us before

He ascended up to Heaven.

Matthew 28. 18 - 20 

18. And Jesus came and spake

unto them, saying, 

All power is given unto me 

in heaven and in earth.

19. Go ye therefore, and teach

all nations,  baptizing them

in the name of the Father,

and of the Son,

and of the Holy Ghost:

20/ Teaching them to observe all

things whatsoever I have 

commanded you: 

and, lo, 

I am with you alway,

even to the end of the world.


When I came to Jesus as a young
woman of ten years of age, I was 
called to tell others just as 
Jesus said.   He gave that 
great commission 
because He 
wants us to be 
a part of the 
plan 

HIS LOVE FOR US 
WAS WITHOUT MEASURE
AND HOW
CAN WE GIVE 
LESS
THAN
GIVE 
OUR  LIVES
TO HIM.


When I was a little girl in Adams, Massachusetts,
I knew that I had a special purpose 
and that I wanted to know
just what 
that 
purpose was.

My mother told me,
when I was only three years old,
"When you grow up, I want you to tell me 
so the I can believe also.
and here in this photo I was all of five 
years, so I was FOCUSED 
ON FINDING OUT 
THE PURPOSE 
OF GOD IN MY LIFE.

and now here I am
in Whatcom County, WASHINGTON STATE
right near the border of British Columbia
CANADA, 
and at the edge of 
DRAYTON HARBOR 
which is situated
just at THE PORTAL OF THE 
SAN JUAN ISLANDS

And I am blessed indeed.
MY JOURNEY has taken
me from the East Coast of the 
United States to 
the very opposite 
corner here in
Blaine.
BIRCH BAY 
CUSTER 
LYNDEN
FERNDALE
SUMAS 
ALL GREET HOSTS OF 
PEOPLE WHO VISIT
FROM ALL
OVER THE WORLD.

Even in this time of Covid 
restrictions, I 
invite you to 
COME JOURNEY WITH ME 
ON MY BLOG.

www.biblebuffjournal-mybibleproject99.com
is my website,
and I intend to keep it up
as long as I am able.

KNOWING THAT 
GOD has brought me thus far,
I intend to keep on 
blogging 
unless the LORD JESUS 
SHOULD COME TO TAKE ME 
HOME TO BE WITH HIM.

Now, you must know 
that I am 88 going on 89
years this next six months.
Time may be running out for me,
but it does not matter.
He IS COMING 
IN THE CLOUDS 
TO TAKE US HOME
All those who believe
in the Lord Jesus Christ
and who
have received 
Him personally into
their heart and life
will go
INSTANTLY 
AT THE BLINK OF AN EYE 
and ONLY THOSE
will see it happen.

Jesus said in John chapter 14.
verses 1 - 3 

Let not your heart be 
troubled: ye believe in God,
believe also in me.
In my Father's house are 
many mansions; 
if it were not so, I would
have told you. 
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare 
a place for you,
I will come again,
and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, 
there ye may be also. 


He is coming in the clouds 
Every time I look up 
I remember what He said
that HE IS COMING 


My great grandfather Luther W. Brewer 
lived in Exeter N H when they 
raised their daughter Lillias May Brewer.
My grandfather Forrest Raymond 
Carpenter of Cheshire, MA, USA 
met and married her in 1914.
The house you see at the 
beginning of this post is the 
home they had on
the shore of 
YORK BEACH, MAINE
where it still exists today.
It is a RENTAL now, and 
some added features have been
made to it, but it is still there.



\Here they were - playing croquet 
at their place in York Beach, Maine
together.    
We called them  "May-mie"  (Mamie) and 
"Bampy"  
Their real names were 
Luther Wilbur Brewer and Vida May (Ingalls)
It was 1910 - 1914 that 
this photo was taken.

This was the photo taken when
my Mother Vida May was only 3 days old.
It was 1915.  
The whole world was at war, 
but my Grandmotherr
and Grandfather 
BELIEVED GOD
WAS WITH THEM
AND THEY WERE
RAISING THEIR FAMILY.

TODAY we 
still have the challenge
to do the same.
WE ARE TO LIVE IN 
THE LIGHT OF 
CHRIST'S SOON 
COMING
YET WE ARE 
TO KEEP ON 
DOING 
AND 
BEING 
AND 
LOVING
AS MUCH AS
WE CAN DO,
GOD HELPING
US.



Here was Grandfather 
my Grandmother 
Forrest Raymond Carpenter
and 
Lillias May Brewer
who
are holding their daughter
their First born
My Mother 
Vida May Carpenter

In this photo Mother was five years.

So here am I as a 
five year old 
in Adams MA back 
in the year of 1938  


You see I was a happy
little lass.

My mother 
My grandmother
loved on me a lot. 

I was a little Redhead
with long hair 
and wavy. 

I remember just how much
my aunties 
and uncles doted on me.
Mother had 4 sisters
and so they 
really were 
like BIG SISTERS 
to me. 


My father is here with Mother
and Grandmother, and my 
beloved Aunties.
Granddad - 
Proud to be my Grandfather
is on back row.
F R Carpenter 
wrote a book 
 GENERATIONS PAST - A CARPENTER 
GENEOLOGY
  It is in the archives of 
Pittsfield, MA in the Historical Society's files.
I have a copy
of this 
and of his other 
book 
The Life and Ancestry of Lilias May Brewer
GENERATIONS PAST - A CARPENTER GENEOLOGY
SO 
WITH THESE TWO BOOKS
and 
with my husband's 
calendars
my mother's memoirs
my husband's sermons
and my 
own writings,
poems,
pictures
and 
paintings
I WILL BE BLOGGING 
AND CONTINUE TO DO SO.
Using my family photos 
as well as the
