You May Not Know

Finally, Master said, "What's wrong? You look so bad, like you are having a bad day or something?" Then the waitress said in a very tired voice that she had been told to work a double shift, even though it was a holiday. Master then announced to the disciples in the restaurant, "Nobody should give this lady any trouble. She's having a bad day and has to work a double shift!" Next, She took the waitress' hand and kissed it. The waitress kept looking at the floor, but then she couldn't help breaking out in a big smile. So Master said, "Wow! You look so beautiful when you smile!" and started to say many loving things to the waitress, who turned bright red and ran behind the counter, covering her face with her hat. Master had won her over with love and kisses!

Above all, however, Master was concerned about us, Her disciples. From the day She came to Florida, She tried to find a place for disciples to come see Her, and so we could have a comfortable place for retreats. Every day for many weeks, She drove all across Florida to look for land, sometimes returning late at night. Many times She was disappointed, because someone had given Her false advertising, or changed the price, and She had to sort through all kinds of conflicting information about permits, regulations, etc. She said that maybe God just wanted her to run around Florida because of the drought problem. Indeed, from the time Master came to the area, it had rained almost every day, so much so that the local newspapers were at a loss to explain it. All of our fruit trees, which had been dead to the root for many months, suddenly sprouted green leaves.

During this time, there was a lot of pressure on Master. Many disciples were hoping to see Her, especially on Her birthday, and Master was sometimes brought to tears. On Her birthday, She was still working. We had prepared a barbecue that evening to celebrate, and Master came to join us. She told jokes, sang songs, and shared Her food with everyone.
