Hi Meg, pretty hot and humid here in WI. Do not like. Trying to pull weeds and plant flowers, but it’s not very nice out there. Came in for lunch and the AC.

Cheers

So pretty, M. AND....my favorite color. :)

[MEG33]

Thank you! I'm glad, Teenie..I am grateful for the beautiful buttterflies I have seen this year.
Love your graphic.

Absolutely! I remember when I was a little girl and we had no air conditioner and didn’t mind it as we had never had it. Life and new inventions are wonderful. Just think, we go crazy if something happens to the AC for a few minutes and especially 2 or 3 hours. I give thanks for all the good things we enjoy in our lives in this day and time. GOD IS SO GOOD.

It also reminds me not to forget those less fortunate than we all are. I wish everyone had comfortable things like some of us do.

[left that other site]

Yes.
I grew up without A/C as well.
Summers can get quite hot in Boston.

[oldteen]

You're most welcome.

That's a lovely one as well!

[oldteen]

Ahhh....yes. I think most of us over the age of...well...you know...survived childhood without A/C. And guess what? WE SURVIVED and thought nothing about it, but, it sure is nice to have! :)

We survived without smart phones too.

[oldteen]

LOL....I’m STILL surviving without one.

Her Worst Day Ever
June 26, 2013

In May 2011, a young woman took cover in a bathtub during a tornado that devastated her city of Joplin, Missouri. Her husband covered her body with his and took the blows from flying debris. He died, and she survived because of his heroism. She naturally wrestles with the question, “Why?” But a year after the tornado, she said that she finds comfort because even on her worst day ever, she was loved.

When I think about “worst days ever,” I think of Job right away. A man who loved God, he lost his animals, his servants, and his 10 children in one day! (Job 1:13-19). Job mourned deeply, and he also asked the “Why?” questions. He cried out, “Have I sinned? What have I done to You . . . ? Why have You set me as Your target?” (7:20). Job’s friends accused him of sinning and thought he deserved his difficulties, but God said of his friends: “You have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has” (42:7). God did not give him the reasons for his suffering, but He listened to Job and did not fault him for his questions. God assured him of His control over everything, and Job trusted Him (42:1-6).

The Lord may not give us the reasons for our trials. But, thankfully, even on our worst day ever, we can know for sure we are loved by Him (Rom. 8:35-39).

We’re grateful, Father, that You know our hearts
with our pain and joy. Thank You that You never
leave us nor forsake us, as Your Word tells us.
Please hold us close during our trials.

God’s love does not keep us from trials, but sees us through them.

Read: Job 7:11-21

I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. —Job 7:11

Bible in a Year:
Job 5-7; Acts 8:1-25

Amen
