Things I hope we have in the Era of Peace I was thinking about this today. It came to me that we might not have Dairy Queen Blizzards in the Era of Peace. I know that is shallow. Its just that I have just recently discovered them. Choco cherry chunk actually came out for Valentines day and I tried one late one evening with one of my kids in the car. We had just taken their friend home and it was 'alone with mom time'. I detest McDonalds and all their ingredients, especially their Seattle Best coffee, which I used to drink a lot of. It now has aborted baby fetal kidney cells lines in it. Yuck. I refuse to do business with them, even for their dollar sundae. So, as I was eating one of these blizzards with my kids I thought to myself that this had to be one of the top ten best things to put in your mouth. I actually said a prayer for God to please allow this to be in the Era of Peace. The agrarian society that we will have might include an ice cream machine and electricity. If Dairy Queen plays its cards right and stays on the narrow road instead of the road to Hell, like McDonalds and Nestles and Lipton Tea, Pepsi and a whole host of other companies; I'll even buy stock in Dairy Queen! (like THAT'S gonna be around in the Era of peace! lol) Other things I was thinking of were toilet paper, ice and the thought of going bra-less was more than agreeable with me. I especially like electric tools. I do not want to try and build a house, barn or whatever without a nail gun and an electric screwdriver. I love my printer to make copies. I remember as a kid helping the teacher make copies with one of those barrel hand cranked carbon copiers. It wasn't as nifty as my printer, and Lord knows I love the written word and would love to make copies all day long to give it to others! It will be great however to be the 'old wise one' when it comes to talking to my grandchildren. I can hear them now. You know what a blender is? There actually were stairs that moved? But the question I long to hear and will especially love to talk about to my grandchildren is,"Grandma, you actually believed even though you did not see Jesus in the Holy Eucharist? " Because during the Era of Peace, we will indeed see Him who is the Bread of Life, as the Eucharistic Lord and Savior of the World. That will be better than a Choco Cherry Chunk blizzard and worth the wait and the pain that we will have to endure until then. theheavenlygaze.blogspot.com
I have to be quite honest I try not to dwell too much on a what I have prayerfully seen because frankly it upsets me and can cause me some fear. I think what Jesus said about trusting God and not worrying about tomorrow is so true. We get the grace of the moment. We don't get the grace we need tomorrow today, if you see what I mean. When the doors of grace need opening they will be opened. However if we go through the doors of tommorow today by worrying, we go through them without the graces we will get then, if you see what I mean. I take a lot of reassurance from reading about Mother Teresa of Calcutta when she left the convent and the fear she felt , the insecurity , I think if a great saint like that could feel such pain its not so bad what I often feel as regards the Tribulation. ..of which the words of Jesus ,suggesting we flee to the mountains comes to mind. I feel a really huge compassion for folks who will meet this future without prayer , may God and His Mother lead them. “I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much.”
That is so, so true. Because the future is like a tree. The trunk is the present, the roots the past. The tree limbs are the future and the many 'possiblities' that can come out of the future. As you look at it, it is not a clear path and its way out there and hard to see.There are many paths that are available. Paths can open up, close off because of neglect or prayer and paths can change and be mitigated. Prophesy is not perfect, God is. That is why God shows us clearly that we must TRUST 100% IN HIM. But, prophesy is a gift of the Holy Spirit and we need great discernment when we use it.

MS7, I just wanted to say that your 11/4/12 entry in The Heavenly Gaze was a real gem. Great research. I'm glad that the popes who side-stepped the direct consecration of Russia were not condemned- just a attitude of confused incredulity on the speaker's part. This is why I remain committed to the First Saturdays! Our Lady's Immaculate Heart shall triumph! Safe in the Refuge of the Immaculate Heart!
