IT'S....................#EncoreWednesday!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Well Loves, Y'all KNOW what Day It Is! So Let's Get Right Into It.........

For Today's **Featured Message** for #EncoreWednesday!, we get a helping hand from a Family Member in Mexico who's taking us back to *Holy Week 2015* (Oh Yeah! "3" Years Ago!! Those who checked in last Wednesday to see what "thus saith the Lord" will get the meaning of "3" years ago - LOL!!) 😇

Anywho, staying focused......Gracias Juan Carlos for suggesting this #Repost of THANK YOU!!!!! #BeGrateful!! from Wednesday April 1, 2015.   As we're in the middle of Walking Out *Holy Week 2018*, this Word from Holy Spirit is Right On Time and Still Rings True! 


**Remember**: Email me at wincty@aol.com or Post in Comments below or DM me on  Twitter @MonaGirlNYC to have your Fave Mona Girl Blog re-posted the last Wednesday of the month for #EncoreWednesday! 

THANK YOU!!!!! #BeGrateful!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Today's Mona Girl Blog is about two words that span from the standard reply that is polite and proper etiquette to meaning the World to someone when they hear it from you.......these two words are THANK YOU!!

No matter what language you use to say these two words: Gracias, Grazie, Merci, Arigatou, Danke, Thank You......these two words express your Gratitude, they show you are Grateful, they convey that you Appreciate what someone has done for you.  I feel that THANK YOU are two words we should express on a regular basis.......that we should say THANK YOU more often to others.

I find myself a tad irritated when I hold a door for someone, hand someone an item, do someone a favor, let someone cut in traffic, say "Bless You" when someone sneezes, etc. and I don't receive the standard THANK YOU reply. But I've realized that some folks just don't feel it is necessary.....that it's not part of their etiquette makeup :) But no matter what other folks do, Mona will continue to give the polite two word reply when appropriate and necessary.

NOW, let's look at these same two words and how much Power they hold when you say THANK YOU to someone who has gone above and beyond to do something for you, to Bless you in a mighty way, to step in and comfort and support you in a time of need or crisis.  Yeah......that's when saying THANK YOU comes from the deepest part of your heart, that's when saying THANK YOU not only overwhelms the person receiving your gratitude but it takes your depth of gratefulness to a whole different level!! That's when THANK YOU is steeped in Love and Humility for what the other person has done for you. That's when THANK YOU is a genuine, sincere and compelling expression of Your Soul.

THANK YOU in this manner is said to family, friends, colleagues and sometimes to awesome strangers (who I know are Angels sent from Heaven).  And THANK YOU at this level is also what is (or should be) expressed to Our Lord.......Our Heavenly Father, on a regular basis.  And as we walk out this 2015 Holy Week leading up to Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday (aka Easter).........*THANK YOU JESUS* should be in our hearts and minds.....*THANK YOU LORD* should be prevalent in our thoughts, in our words and deeds and spoken to Him directly!!

You all know me, and I ALWAYS have the Mighty Word of God in my heart and a few of my Fave *THANK YOU LORD....I AM GRATEFUL* Scriptures are:

"Give Thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV)

"I always Thank my God, as I remember you in my prayers." (Philemon 1:4, NIV)

"Though the cherry trees don't blossom and the strawberries don't ripen, Though the apples are worm-eaten and the wheat fields stunted, Though the sheep pens are sheepless and the cattle barns empty, I'm singing joyful Praise to God. I'm turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God. Counting on God's rule to prevail, I take heart and gain strength.  I run like a deer.  I feel like I'm king of the mountain!" (Habakkuk 3:17-18, MSG)

"So I will not be silent; I will sing praise to you.  Lord, you are my God; I will give you Thanks forever." (Psalm 30:12, GNT)

Yeah!! When you say THANK YOU LORD......and you Really, Really mean it, your heart can't help but be full of Love and Joy!!  You can't help but walk with your head held high and a smile on your face!  Your confidence and assurance in Him is at an all time high! When you think about ALL Our Heavenly Father has done, is doing, and will do for us........Whewee!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! is such an Awesome and Powerful expression of Love and Gratitude!

And don't let me get started on what happens when you begin to THANK HIM on a regular basis....when you say THANK YOU LORD for the big stuff and the small stuff.........Oh Yeah!!!!  That's when Our Heavenly Father shows up and shows out in your life.  Just like You and Me, He longs to hear a THANK YOU LORD! every once in awhile......Gracias, Dios!  Danke, Gott! Merci, mon Dieu!  Grazie, Dio! 

So Family, as I close today's Mona Girl Blog, let's remember to say THANK YOU to folks when they do the standard etiquette stuff and when they go above and beyond in our lives!!  Let's remember to say THANK YOU to Our Lord and Savior for ALLLLLL the Amazing and Marvelous and Awesome things He continues to do in our lives........and as we walk out Holy Week, let's especially remember to say THANK YOU for the indescribable gift and over the top sacrifice Our Lord Jesus made for You and for Me so we could be healed mind, body and soul; live life; and live it Abundantly throughout ALL Eternity!!!

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16, NIV)  

Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!

Metsies Winning Season - Scripture #7:

YOU WANNA PLAY?

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Well Loves, Today I've got something interesting and fun for Us to try. I received *It* via email from my "Big Sister" (Hey Paula!) and thought We should give it a whirl.......So YOU WANNA PLAY?

Fab!! Here We Go...........

"Lexophile" is a word used to describe those that have a love for words, such as "you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish", or "to write with a broken pencil is pointless." 

A competition to see who can come up with the best lexophiles is held every year in an undisclosed location. Here are this year's winning submissions:

. . . When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.

... A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.

... When the smog lifts in Los Angeles, U.C.L.A.

... The batteries were given out free of charge.

... A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.

.... A will is a dead giveaway.

... With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.                 

... A boiled egg is hard to beat..

.. When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall.

..... Police were summoned to a daycare center where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

... Did you hear about the fellow whose entire left side was cut off? He's all right now.

 .... A bicycle can't stand alone; it's just two tired.

 ... When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds. 

 .... The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine is now fully recovered. 

 ... He had a photographic memory which was never developed.

.... When she saw her first strands of grey hair she thought she'd dye.

... Acupuncture is a jab well done. That's the point of it.

                    And finally:

 ... Those who get too big for their britches will be totally exposed in the end.

OK Family. *NOW IT'S YOUR TURN*........OK. OK! I'll Go First.......Here's My Try at a Lexophile:

I signed up for a Culinary Class called "Cooking Fish 101". I'm excited to learn cooking techniques that'll challenge me to sea food differently. 

LOL! What do you think? If there are any Lexophile's reading this, please let me know if I done good. 😊

So *NOW IT'S YOUR TURN*.........please share below in Comments OR if You're a tad shy, email me at wincty@aol.com


Thanks for Playing Loves! Can't help myself, *Just One More*.........LOL!!

Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!!

Metsies Winning Season - Scripture #6:

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.......#BeingTransparent!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Well Loves, hope I didn't Scurrr some of You off with the Title of Today's Mona Girl Blog LOL! But if You're still reading (My Sister Citra from Jakarta, Holy Spirit's Speaking to YOU!).....Here We Go........

For the last few days, Holy Spirit has had me in what I'm calling A PURE Mode.  And I've got to be honest with You (hmmm, come to think of it, when have I ever NOT been honest with You).....anyway, as I was saying, for the last 3 days, Holy Spirit's had me sitting in the first row, of the VIP Section, watching a Highlight Reel of the last 3 years and 3 months of my life. And BOY has it been a LOT to take in.

It's Required me to stay low and humble.  It's Required me to be uber transparent with myself/others.  It's Required me to Give Up My Rights to Be Right! (Right Prophet Carol?! Whewee! As a Control Freak in Recovery, this one's a Doozy!) It's Required me to Shout HALLELUJAH! Praise God & Thank You Jesus that I've NOT completely lost my mind (Ummm, no need to email me, I Said "Completely!") But MOST of all, It's Required that I TRUST our Father God like I've Never TRUSTED Him before!!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6, NKVJ)

Family, I'm sharing ALL this, #BeingTransparent like this, because from some of the Prayer Requests I've received, I KNOW some of YOU can totally relate! And for those I've not connected with but who are Still on this Bare-Your-Soul ride with Us, I say with all God-Fidence and with a Hi-Five from Holy Spirit...........DON'T GIVE UP!! DON'T YOU DARE QUIT!! YOU'RE AT THE END!! IT'S VICTORY LAP TIME!!

"And we know that ALL things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28, NKJV, emphasis mine)

Yeppers!! That Romans 8:28 Scripture right up there?! Holy Spirit's added It to His Divine Viewing and It's been playing on repeat in my head for last 3 days. Yeah! You caught that too, didn't 'cha? I've been using the #3 ALL UP in His Message to Us Today and just because We like to Go Deeeeep into stuff when we're together......the Biblical Meaning of the Number 3 is: Divine Completeness. Perfection. 

And what does that tell You about Today's Message? Why/How did We end up here with the symbolism of ALL the "3's"?! Because over the last 3 days, the last 3 weeks, the last 3 months, the last 3 years......whateva the last "3" time frame You've been personally Walking Out In Real Time....it's brought Us to *Our Lord's Time* of Divine Completion & Perfection! 

So My Courageous Warriors, refresh your popcorn, get a refill on your soda and Rest in the Fact that You're in *His Time*of Divine Completion & Perfection as you finish the job of sitting with Holy Spirit in viewing Your own Highlight Reel cuz: "WE'RE AT THE END!! IT'S VICTORY LAP TIME!!"

"But Thank God for letting our Lord Jesus Christ give us the Victory!" (1 Corinthians 15:57, CEV)

"You love Him even though you have never seen Him; though not seeing Him, you Trust Him; and even now you are happy with the inexpressible joy that comes from heaven itself.  And your further reward for Trusting Him will be the salvation of your souls." (1 Peter 1:8-9, TLB, emphasis mine)


Loves, in closing out our time together today, I want to leave you with this Awesome Prayer that popped up yesterday in my Facebook Memories from 3 YEARS AGO!!!! Amen!!!! Look At God!!!!!

May it bring an Excitement to Your Heart and Saturate Your Soul with a Soothing Balm of Peace...........


Dear Father, I need You. You are all I have, You are everything to me. Comfort me and make something beautiful from my life. I surrender all that I am into Your hands and I ask that You fill me with all of You. Whatever You have for me, I receive with open arms because I know it's from You and I trust You with my life. In Jesus' Name.  Amen.

Thanks Dannette!

Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!
