Lovely greeting for April 10, Amy!
Precious graphics, Amy, have a good (Friday) now!
On Friday, my day of rest as a pastor, the Holy Spirit prompted me to call a young single mother in our faith community to see if her car had been repaired. I had some reservations about making the call, but I obeyed.
Little did I know that my obedience would help save her life. She said later: "Friday at work I was planning on taking my life; but in a time of need, I believe God was there for me. He had Pastor Williams call me, and just by listening to his voice, I knew that God loved me."
The apostle Paul must have had reservations when the Holy Spirit prompted him and his team not to go into the provinces of Asia and Bithynia. Instead, they felt the Spirit's call to go into Macedonia to preach the good news. In each situation, they obeyed the Spirit's promptings. As a result, Paul and his team were instrumental in giving birth to a new faith community in Philippi (Acts 16:11-15).
As believers in Christ who are indwelt by the Holy Spirit (Eph. 2:22), our desire should be to please Him. May we not grieve the Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:30) by ignoring His gentle promptings. When we obey Him, we might be used by God to lead someone to Christ, to disciple new believers—or even to help save somebody's life.
Bless Mama Jay’s heart...doing her loving duty!
Its unusual to see three hawks at once, isn’t it? I know the food chain, etc.etc. but it kills me to see them get a bird. I have only witnessed it once in my yard and hubby was here then. I was so upset and he went into the food chain bit! LOL...didn’t make me feel better!
Hi Dita, how cute of ya’ll talking about my bread! By the way, did you smell it? Turned out good...next time will be better though. I may not continue to make it...its so good and I love to eat it (always give some away too) but I just do not need the calories! I have mixed emotions about it!
Hey, I just read the last sentence of your post and my brother said the same thing.
I would say after it is perfectly cool and wrapped well in saran wrap and foil, it would mail perfectly, don’t you?
Nope, it wouldn't have consoled me either.
As far as the hawks go, it looked like two of them were involved in some kind aerial mating dance. The third hawk may have been a rival or a hopeful suitor waiting in the wings. LOL.
It's unusual to see hawks over our town, they stay mainly out in the country and over the foothills.
I am enjoying the unfolding episodes of my little jay family, but part of me wants the process hurried up so that the little ones aren't so vulnerable. I feel responsible for them and I will be very happy when I see they are able to take care of themselves.
Yorkie, mine is loaf pan shaped....that a scrumptious picture of homemade bread! I made the stuff for years when hubby was here. I got a start from a friend at church and just made the first batch. I am going to make a few batches but probably won’t make it long. Too good and too FATTENING!
I have never made the starter myself but I have seen recipes for it.
Now there’s tears down my cheeks also! I did see that a long time ago and it is one of the sweetest things....thanks!
Amen...Everything HE does is glorious, isn’t it? That is a beautiful site!
Good morning ladies
Hi Poetgal, hope you’re feeling better!
am a lil better, just Q is having a rough day, he got a shot yesterday, not sure if he is cutting more teeth or it is the result of the shot, he has just been really grumpy...He is down and sleeping now, an hour or so early before his nap...
So, am kinda frazzled....
Bless his heart...the shots can upset them sometimes. Since he had not been feeling well before the shot could have affected him more! Hope you all get straightened out soon!
Thanks and maybe so
I am just not in a good mood, I was jumped by some people on here last night and it really made me mad and upset, I almost didn’t wanna get back on here today
Upon a showery night and still,
Without a sound of warning,
A trooper band surprised the hill,
And held it in the morning.
We were not waked by bugle-notes,
No cheer our dreams invaded,
And yet, at dawn, their yellow coats
On the green slopes paraded.
We careless folk the deed forgot;
Till one day, idly walking,
We marked upon the self-same spot
A crowd of veterans talking.
They shook their trembling heads and gray
With pride and noiseless laughter;
When, well-a-day! they blew away,
And ne'er were heard of after!
