Thanks! It was temporary, just for 3 weeks. I think I will be asked to fill in at that job again. It was fun. I had a 4 week break (longest break in history) from painting the house. I seem unable to begin again. Hopefully inspiration will hit me, and I’ll get back at it. Perhaps some time viewing the DIY channel. That often inspires me to do home repair projects.
Cheers!

..."That, of course, is the lesson of this century, a lesson learned in the Sudetenland, in Poland, in Hungary, in Czechoslovakia, in Cambodia. If we really care about peace, we must stay strong. If we really care about peace, we must, through our strength, demonstrate our unwillingness to accept an ending of the peace. We must be strong enough to create peace where it does not exist and strong enough to protect it where it does. That's the lesson of this century and, I think, of this day. And that's all I wanted to say. The rest of my contribution is to leave this great place to its peace, a peace it has earned.
Thank all of you, and God bless you, and have a day full of memories.

Stuck In The Mud May 23, 2015
He . . . brought me up out of . . . the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock.
Psalm 40:2
We were absolutely stuck! While I was laying the wreath in place on my parents grave, my husband eased the car off the road to allow another car to pass. It had rained for weeks and the parking area was sodden. When we were ready to leave, we discovered that the car was stuck. The wheels spun, sinking further and further into the mud.
We werent going anywhere without a push, but my husband had a damaged shoulder, and I had just come out of the hospital. We needed help! At a distance I saw two young men, and they responded cheerfully to my frantic waves and shouts. Thankfully, their combined strength pushed the car back onto the roadway.
Psalm 40 recounts Gods faithfulness when David cried for help. I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he . . . heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire (vv.1-2 nlt). Whether this psalm refers to an actual pit or to challenging circumstances, David knew that he could always call on God for deliverance.
God will help us too when we call on Him. Sometimes He intervenes directly, but more often He works through other people. When we admit our need to Himand perhaps to otherswe can count on His faithfulness.
I praise You, heavenly Father, that You can rescue me from any pit, no matter how deep. Help me to accept the help of others and to be ready to offer it to those in need.
Hope comes with help from God and others.
: David wrote about his struggles to trust God during difficult times, but he persisted in praying for His help (vv. 11-17). Despite his prolonged and uncertain waiting (vv. 13,17), David testified that God hears and answers prayers (vv. 1-2) and is worthy of our trust (vv. 3-4). In response to Gods faithfulness, David committed himself to obeying Gods Word and doing His will (vv. 6-8), and he calls on all who seek and long for God to join him in praising God (v. 16).

Beautiful remembrance posts, all.
Deep Gratitude, indeed.
Have a wonderful day/weekend, all. Supposed to start raining, again, tonight. I am busy canning plum jam ~ while watching Midway on AMC’s War Hero Weekend. I’m up to my ears in plums...God is great...we have been blessed with a bountiful harvest, this year.

Thanks, Jane. :)
We’re expecting a low in the mid to high thirties tonight, so we’re going to have a fire in the fireplace.

I love that movie!
My Dad(RIP) loved it too, and in his last waning years he used to watch it over and over, along with “Tora, Tora, Tora”.
He was a WW2 and Korean War Vet, and instilled in me a love for America that has only gotten stronger with the years.
