The turtle winks and the monkey is just wide-eyed, like monkeys are, I guess.

I’ve had to be gone today. Had a hair appt. but when I got there, her power had just gone out....darn it. She said I could come at 2:30 tomorrow but I may wait until Tuesday. I’m sorta tired and the cleaning lady comes tomorrow. Too many things at once.

Hope you and everyone else had a terrific day. ((((HUGS))))

Guess our computers are different, JC! LOL!

Anyway, don’t you just get frustrated when things don’t go as you planned? I hate days like that.

And when the cleaning lady comes - it always takes hours to pick up before she gets here! ROTF!!!

I had a good day - and hope your day turned out better! (((HUGS)))

Rock Of Refuge
June 20, 2013

One year during my vacation, I walked along the shoreline of a large lake. As I approached a pile of boulders, I noticed a small alcove between the rocks and observed that a tiny plant had taken root there. The plant appeared to be absorbing the right amount of sunlight and water, and it was also getting something else: protection. No downpour or windstorm would ruffle its tender leaves.

The plant’s secure habitat reminded me of these familiar hymn lyrics: “Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee.” Those words express what many of us want when we encounter people with evil intentions—people characterized by pride, cruelty, and a lack of regard for God (Ps. 94:4-7). When we are the target of someone’s wrongdoing, we can remember the testimony of the psalmist: “The Lord has been my defense, and my God the rock of my refuge” (v.22).

As our rock, God is dependable and strong. As our refuge, He can provide safety until problems pass. The psalmist reminds us: “Under His wings you shall take refuge” (Ps. 91:4). With God as our defender, we don’t have to fear what others will do. We can trust that God will support us when trouble comes.

Thank You, God, for Your stable and unchanging
nature. Help us to hide ourselves in You
when trouble comes our way. Remind us that we
don’t have to fight our own battles.

Refuge can be found in the Rock of Ages.

Read: Psalm 94:3-23

The Lord has been my defense, and my God the rock of my refuge. —Psalm 94:22

Bible in a Year:
Esther 1-2; Acts 5:1-21

~Good Morning To Amy's Place~

Early Morning Song by Rachel Lyman Field

Nothing fairer than the light
On petals opening, gold and white,
To the morning, to the blue,
In a world of song and dew.

Nothing fairer than two eyes
That behold with shy surprise
The miracle that no man can stay
Darkness turning into day.


~Wishing You A Happy Thankful Thursday~

Good Morning, Meg!

Good Thursday morning to
my friends here at
Amy's Place! :)

[MEG33]

That flower says “sunshine”
Lovely, LUV.

[luvie]

Thank you! I love when they start blooming! The heat wasn’t
kind to them this year, though. There weren’t as many blooms.

Hope you’re having a good day!

[MEG33]

Thank you, LUV..Enjoy your day off.
May all our A/Cs work well!
