MONSOON 2015 TAMIL NADU

My Life in India

Praise God the Monsoon finally rested upon Tamil Nadu, India.  It has been a long drought which caused all rivers, lakes, ponds, and brooks to literally dry up and become pasture land for livestock.  Then there was the stealing of the sand from the riverbeds for the corrupt “Sand Mafia” while lining the pockets of many who look the other way.  The drought chased away the bird migration to the sanctuaries making them close down for over a year.  The water began reseeding in 2012 with full drought in play by the beginning of 2014 to present day. 

I made a conscience commitment to pray for the end of the drought at the beginning of 2015 daily and for every drop of water that fell from the heavens I PRAISED GOD even if the rain lasted for a few minutes.  I prayed prayers of thanksgiving.  I will admit I was disappointed in the long wait between rains and the lengths but I was not giving up for I trust Our Lord was hearing my prayers and they would be answered.  Finally by summers end my prayers intensified and I stop short of asking for 40 days and nights of rain.  I pleaded for the opening of the heavens and Our Lord to just cry on the land so parched and lifeless.

My prayers are answered for two weeks starting at the end of October rain was coming a little more often but was not soaking the land but the vegetation started perking up.  Then finally this week it has been raining almost all day every day and throughout the night.  It is glorious to see the birds coming back slowly around the house and the Kingfisher is waking me up again around 6 a.m.  The vegetation is lush and full with different shades of green dotted with colorful flowers of the season. THE WATERING HOLES ARE FILLING UP SOME TO THE BRIM.

Sure there is a few inconveniences that rainy/damp weather can bring but I cannot stop smiling for Papa God the Creator gave a gift of love/mercy to the people of Tamil Nadu especially the farmers who suffered from the drought…HE RAINED DOWN HIS BLESSINGS…WOW!!! I for one am so thankful…

RAPE

The horrific violation of one’s person is the action of rape. It is without a doubt the single action that not only effects the body but the heart and soul of the one being violated. It is difficult even now to understand the actions, mind set and the heart of one whom commits the heinous act of violating another’s body. Although these persons are human one cannot see them but as animals dark in nature without redemption and yet we are mandated from our Lord to forgive…MARK 11:25 “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” However, it well to note here we are forgiven by our Lord when we ask for forgiveness with a repentant and contrite heart as should the rapist seek this same road of forgiveness towards those whom have been violated. Rape is not an easy course of securing justice for the violator. Often times the history of the life of the violated is so scrutinized it leaves one to wo

RETURNING

  It has been at least four years since I have written anything.  My mission life came to a halt in 2018 when I became very ill while in India.  I spent two and half months in a hospital in India with a 5% chance of survival from my surgery and a 5% chance of surviving Critical Care.  I received amazing care. I was sent back to the states for further treatment especially since I lost my ability to walk.  It was physiological.  It took 9 months before I could walk but walk I did.  The surgery left me with a Colostomy which was troublesome, to say the least.  However, in June of this year, I had a colostomy reversal which was a success and all is back to normal.  I am in a Nursing Home with other medical issues.  It took me until now to accept my life here.  I am in a private room which allows me my quiet, prayer time, crocheting and interacting with friends in the home.   I decided this morning to go back to writing...I hope you will take this journey with me.   Linda Mary Liotino
