Thank you, jaycee..
I hope you are doing better at your house cleaning chores than I am..My ambition needs a jump start..like company coming to spur me on.
I may get that soon as my daughter and son in law are looking to buy a house nearer his main office in Dallas.
They want to come by and pick me up to go see a house they have bid on. then come back here and spend the night within the next month.Bidding is a slower process as a bank owns the house.
I changed the vacuum cleaner bag...showing good intentions?
LOL

Freep mail me to be on or off the Daily Bread ping list

A Much Greater Plan

READ: Luke 5:1-11

Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” —Luke 5:10

Recently our family was in Erie, Pennsylvania, visiting a relative. While there, we had a chance to swim in the community swimming pool. It was fun, but our host wanted to take us to Lake Erie to enjoy the sandy beaches, the cresting waves, and the beauty of the setting sun. My children protested because they wanted to swim in the pool. But I tried to get them to see that going to the beaches of Presque Isle would be a much greater plan.

I believe Jesus wanted Simon Peter to see He had something much greater in mind for him—he would “catch men” (Luke 5:10) instead of fish. Jesus told Peter to go to the deeper water and let down his nets for a catch (v.4). Peter had just returned from an unsuccessful night of fishing, but at Jesus’ command he obeyed and said, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net” (v.5). Humbled by the miraculous catch of fish, Peter bowed in awe before the Lord, who then told him that from that point on He wanted him to fish for men. Peter left everything and followed Him.

God’s greater plan for us may not be to leave our occupation. But it’s His plan that we use our time, resources, and careers to bring others into the kingdom.

Well, thank goodness the outside of the refrigerator was washed and rinsed today. Looks like a new one. I had cleaned it inside and threw away lots of things I couldn’t hardly recognize. This sure has been hard for me. Glad I started 2 weeks ago because I can only do so much and rest! A few more things to tie up....little last minute things.

I got up early and made my grocery order and had intended to get to the store early but I just didn’t feel that good. As soon as I empty my bucket and clean up that little mess, I will get ready to go to the store. I have to ride the cart at this time, but as I told my doctor yesterday(Orthopedist) that I pray this is temporary! He was so nice yesterday and acted like he was tired. He’s young and I asked him ‘had he had a hard day.’ And he drooped his shoulders and said ‘yes’. He is setting up the appointments for more shots.

See ya’ll when I can! Love your little ritzy yorkies. I miss yorkie too but she’s had a lot on her plate!
