I am grateful that, a mere three days after spraining my ankle, I am able to go back to work (albeit hobbling with a cane).

Praise the Lord...I really thought it was going to be a long haul, as I am not getting any younger.

Thank you for another wonderful ODB, Rus.

Hi Meg! It was wonderful to have some 70*, sunny days after all the cold. My Yorkie went out and plopped down in the sunshine, lol.

[potlatch]

I’m behind, as usual, and just read about your sprained ankle. Hope it heals fast, you are so active it’s hard to keep you down, lol.

[potlatch]

Thank you Amy, I missed some posts - again. Spent some time working on SCOTUS images today and forgot to put your name in my political thread ping!!! I’m always forgetting someone anymore. Hope all’s well.

A belated Happy Birthday and sending prayers for you too Dave.

Pointing To God

January 21, 2015

Read: Deuteronomy 8:11-18 | Bible in a Year: Exodus 1-3; Matthew 14:1-21

“God bless our homeland, Ghana” is the first line of Ghana’s national anthem. Other African anthems include: “O Uganda, may God uphold thee,” “Lord, bless our nation” (South Africa), and “O God of creation, direct our noble cause” (Nigeria). Using the anthems as prayers, founding fathers called on God to bless their land and its people. Many national anthems in Africa and others from around the world point to God as Creator and Provider. Other lines of anthems call for reconciliation, transformation, and hope for a people often divided along ethnic, political, and social lines.

Yet today, many national leaders and citizens tend to forget God and do not live by these statements—especially when life is going well. But why wait until war, disease, storms, terrorist attacks, or election violence occurs before we remember to seek God? Moses warned the ancient Israelites not to forget God and not to stop following His ways when life was good (Deut. 8:11). Ecclesiastes 12:1 urges us to “remember now your Creator . . . before the difficult days come.”

Getting close to God while we are strong and healthy prepares us to lean on Him for support and hope when those “difficult days” in life come.

Father, I always need You. Forgive me for
thinking I am sufficient in myself. Help me to
follow You and Your ways whether life is easy
or difficult. Thank You for caring for me.

Remembering our Creator can be our personal anthem.

INSIGHT: Deuteronomy records a significant moment in Old Testament history. At the end of Israel’s wilderness wanderings, Moses reaffirmed the laws of God. A generation had died in the wilderness and the new generation needed these lessons to prepare them for entry into the land of promise. The challenges that awaited them in Canaan made it important to remind the people of both God’s provisions and God’s instructions.

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday
To Amy's Place

I had forgotten how thrilling a snow day is
until my son started school,
and as much as he loves it, he swoons
at the idea of a free day arriving unexpectedly,
laid out like a gift.
