They came early and the A/C worked..I had stayed up all night hosing down the compressor and cooling the house down to 73..
.It is acting up now..but it worked while they were here! I gave myself back pain taking everything off the floor of my walkin closet, of course..cancelled hair cut yesterday...Hoping to get in Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning..
It’s always something..LOL

Oh, Megs! This is a bad time for the a/c to go out here in
Texas! I know you’ll be so glad to have a new one. It will
make a big difference! You’ve been missed!

Salute to The Patriot Guard!
I’ve seen them escorting a few funeral processions in our area over the years.
To: LUV W
Thank you! I had replaced the fan and motor last fall and hoped it would give me another year..I thank God that I have been able to get it going again after a cooldown so the house has not become unbearable...

Meg - before tomorrow's Sunday thread
Perhaps you can make a quick visit
to the local water park and cool down!
To: yorkie
LOL..Right now the A/C is working..Thank Heavens..Just hope it can be kept alive until the new one is here to install.
It goes off..I let it rest and hose it down..house gets in the 80s before I can get the compressor to turn on again.
We broke a record today..It was 99. You can see why I am so thrilled I can get the A/C to turn on at all.
Your poem and the little girl in tap shoes yesterday touched my heart.

Oh, thank you Meg. Did you get to watch the clip on post 3003? It is so touching - and this Memorial Day weekend, we will honor them all.
I hope your air-conditioner holds out...today in Phoenix, a new AC was given (free) to the family that had the oldest AC! It was 50 years old. I wish I had known about that contest - mine is probably older. They have to put freon in it every year - but it still works. (Fingers crossed, here.)
To: yorkie
Yes and several more of funerals for the fallen..tears. Freedom isn’t free.
I have to go hose down the compressor again..Goodnight..see you tomorrow.

Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place
~Remembering Those Who Gave All For Our Freedoms~
The Mansions Of The Lord...click To fallen soldiers let us sing where no rockets fly nor bullets wing Our broken brothers let us bring to the mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding no more fight No prayers pleading through the night just divine embrace, eternal light in the mansions of the Lord
Where no mothers cry and no children weep We will stand and guard tho the angels sleep All through the ages safely keep the mansions of the Lord

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

What Does It Take?
Todays technology allows some people to work 24/7. We can bring our work home or take it on vacation. Work is ever-present with usexcept when the electricity goes off.
An ice storm last winter covered several states in a thick glasslike glaze. Trees and branches fell, blocking roads and keeping people home. Power lines fell, leaving people in cold darkness, unable to accomplish anything that required electricity.
Whenever something like this interrupts my life, I realize how important my own work is to me. Without it, I feel unimportant, unproductive, and useless. But God doesnt want work to be that important to us, and we shouldnt need a power outage to get us to stop. In the Old Testament, God had a plan for getting His people to stop and pay attention to Him. It was called Sabbath. On the seventh day of the week, they were to stop their work (Ex. 23:12).
Although New Testament believers arent required to keep this law, rest is still important. Practicing a day of rest can keep us from the faulty belief that our work is more important than Gods.
What does it take to make you stop and pay attention to God?
He gives me work that I may seek His rest,
He gives me strength to meet the hardest test;
And as I walk in providential grace,
I find that joy goes with me, at Gods pace. Gustafson
If we do not come apart and rest awhile, we may just plain come apart. Havner Read:
Genesis 2:1-7
Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest.
Exodus 23:12

Thank you, Rus, for our Daily Bread.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day.
