~Happy November Everyone~

Gathering For Winter

I found so many acorns
Under the falling leaves
I’ll gather some quickly
And take them home with me

I have no mate or offspring
No friends or family near
So, I don’t need too many
I’ll just leave some of them here

Autumn will soon be in the past
That is clear to see
But I’ll have plenty of acorns
And I won’t go hungry

I’ll stay warm and fed
And just enjoy my Winter life
But, I’ll be back again next year
Perhaps, with a wife!

Staying Clean
November 1, 2011

During a business trip to Philadelphia, I walked down Broad Street toward City Hall each morning to catch the subway. Each day I passed a long line of people waiting for something. They were a cross-section of humanity in age, ethnic origin, and appearance. After wondering about it for 3 days, I asked a man on the sidewalk why all those people were standing in line. He told me that they were on probation or parole after breaking the law and had to take a daily drug test to show that they were staying clean.

This struck me as a vivid illustration of my need to stay spiritually clean before God. When the psalmist pondered how he could live a pure life, he concluded that the key was to consider and obey God’s teaching. “Your Word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes. . . . I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your Word” (Ps. 119:11-12,16).

In the light of God’s Word, we see our sin, but we also see God’s love in Christ. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

By His grace . . . staying clean.

Lord, grant that we may hear You speak
As truth within Your Word we seek;
And may it show us all our sin
And make us clean without, within. —D. De Haan

Read the Bible to be wise, believe it to be safe,
practice it to be holy.

Read: Psalm 119:9-16

Your Word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. —Psalm 119:11

Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 24-26; Titus 2

Beautiful opening for November, gals and guy!

I miss summer....
But, then...
If you promise to hold me close to your heart...
And keep me warm...
We will venture outdoors...
And, I'll welcome the new season with you

To you also! I can’t believe it’s November...

And my throat is hoarse from all the cackling I did last night, I’d better put lemon and honey in my tea. Have a great day, I’ll check in later!
