We don’t get much leaf color here until November in Central Texas. It’s been summer weather here, too...Finally out of the 90s and should have highs in the 70s later this week.

Thanks for that. I’ve never been there! I just hope I can find the cottage. Those winding roads to the lake are confusing. LOL!

Good Luck!!!

CAT BATH

Banshee screams pierce air,
claws sharp, eyes wide and angry,
good luck with cat bath.

Jim Tidd

Hope you're having a happy Wednesday, everyone!

LOL!!!

Wouldn't try this!

The Joy of Your Presence

Oct 22, 2015

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. Psalm 96:4

“Man’s chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever,” says the Westminster Catechism. Much of Scripture calls for joyful gratitude and adoration of the living God. When we honor God, we celebrate Him as the Source from which all goodness flows.

When we praise God from our heart we find ourselves in that joyful state for which we were created. Just as a beautiful sunset or a peaceful pastoral scene points to the majesty of the Creator, so worship draws us into a close spiritual union with Him. The psalmist says, “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise . . . . The Lord is near to all who call on him” (Ps. 145:3,18).

God does not need our praise, but we need to praise God. By basking in His presence we drink in the joy of His infinite love and rejoice in the One who came to redeem and restore us. “In your presence there is fullness of joy,” the psalmist says. “At your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Ps. 16:11 esv).

Dear Lord, You are the great and mighty God, the Creator of the universe. I will praise Your name always. There is no God besides You.

Worship is a heart overflowing with praise to God.

Insight:

Psalm 145 is a declaration of David’s praise. While some psalms recall God’s past deliverances, this psalm focuses entirely on God’s help in the present. Bill Crowder

Thank you, Sweet Meg.

I’m slowing getting back but the going in slow. I don’t stay online for very long so am using this reply to thank everyone.

I want to thank everyone for your prayers. They were needed and appreciated. I’m blessed to have you as special friends.

Hugs to All.

Take care of yourself, Amy...I am just glad you are able to be home. The time in ICU indicates how very serious your condition was...It takes time to recover from such an ordeal.
God bless you and keep you in His care.

I have never tried to give a cat a bath. Sounds dangerous. Hee Hee.

Luckily, my current dog gets in the tub with no trouble and he stands nicely for the bath.

Good Early Morning To Amy's Place

We Wear Red On Friday To Support Our Troops

I Wish You A Great Weekend

Happy Friday!

In the coming week, I will be packing up my computer, and heading north. Pray for me...and keep the light on at Amy's...I'll be back!

For This I Have Jesus

Oct 23, 2015

The Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. Isaiah 49:13

There is rarely a problem-free season in our lives, but sometimes the onslaught is terrifying.

Rose saw her entire family, except for her two little daughters, slaughtered in the Rwandan Genocide of 1994. Now she is a widow among many widows with little money. But she refuses to be defeated. She has adopted two orphans and simply trusts God to provide for the food and school fees for her family of five. She translates Christian literature into the local language and organizes an annual conference for other widows. Rose wept as she told me her story. But for every problem in her life she has one simple remedy. “For this,” she said, “I have Jesus.”

God knows exactly what you are facing today. Isaiah reminds us that God’s knowledge of us is so intimate that it is as if our names were written on the palms of His hands (Isa. 49:16). We may sometimes neglect the needs of others, even those who are closest to us, but God is aware of every detail of our lives. And He has given us His Spirit to guide, to comfort, and to strengthen us.

Think of the challenges you face at this moment, and then write these words beside each one as a reminder of His faithfulness and care: “For this, I have Jesus.”

Thank You, Jesus, for being near to me right now. I’m grateful for Your faithfulness.

Life takes on perspective in the light of Christ.

Insight:

The book of Isaiah is a book of extremes. In chapters 1–2 Isaiah describes how far away from God the people of Israel have wandered. In chapter 3 he warns of the punishment and judgment that is coming because of their sin and disobedience. Later he discusses God’s provision to bring them back to Himself (ch. 4) and how much they will flourish despite the current and coming disasters (ch. 49). In God’s eyes there is always hope for redemption, restoration, and blessing. J.R. Hudberg

Amen, amen.

Thanks and blessings.

Thank you

Almost 6 inches of rain have fallen in Waco today...yes I said six!!!

My helper went to the store for me and got caught in it while at the grocery store..Lights went out in store for awhile before the generator came on and he had to drive VERY carefully to avoid flash flooding. He was drenched of course. He cancelled his other appointments!.

Interstate 35 was closed.
