Thank you for your posts and pings!

All is well here. Another nice day near 32 degrees.

I started painting the interior of my house yesterday. Got one closet done and it looks great. We are planning on selling and moving this year (or whenever the right place comes on the market for us to buy). I need to paint most of the interior of the house, and touch up the exterior.

I honed my rusty painting skills on the closet and now can paint where my work can be seen. LOL.

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday!

LOL to your pic of the chubby puppy. We’ve all had days like that.

Sending a 'fuzzy, warm doggy' to wish everyone a big HI. I've been gone again so long that I can't catch up on all the lovely messages and wishes I've been pinged to.

I often need long breaks but it's so nice to come back to all of your thoughtful pings. Big (HUGS) to everyone.

The Well-Watered Life

February 12, 2015

Read: Jeremiah 17:1-8 | Bible in a Year: Leviticus 13; Matthew 26:26-50

I have a friend who lives on a ranch in the wide-open spaces of Montana. The road to his home is a long trail that winds through the parched and barren landscape of the wilderness. As you drive toward his home, you can’t help but notice the contrasting strip of green trees and vibrant vegetation meandering through the ranch. One of the finest trout rivers in North America cuts through the property, and anything that grows near its banks gets the benefit of an unending source of vital water.

This is the picture Jeremiah paints when he says that those who trust in the Lord are “like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river” (Jer. 17:8). Many may choose the wilting heat and choking drought of life apart from God, but those who trust in God will be vibrant and fruitful. Depending on Him is like putting our roots into the refreshing water of His goodness. We are strengthened with the confidence that His steadfast love for us will never fail.

God will ultimately make all things right. Trusting that He will turn our pain to gain and use suffering to mature us empowers us to become fruit-bearers in a dry and thirsty land.

Lord, thank You for not leaving me alone
in the withering heat of life. I will put the
roots of my trust into the river of Your
unfailing promises and steadfast love!

Put your roots down by the river of God’s goodness.

INSIGHT: The words of Jeremiah 17:7-8 echo those of Psalm 1:2-3: Blessed are those who “delight in the law of the Lord . . . . They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do” (nlt)
