I talk to him when I'm lonesome like;
And I'm sure he understands.
When he looks at me so attentively,
And gently licks my hands;
Then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes,
But I never say naught thereat.
For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes,
But never a friend like that.

I now have a new computer but it has been rough trying to get it up and running.

I preferred the old version of windows.

Hope everyone is staying well .... and Luvie is continuing to improve.

Take care of yourselves.

I hate getting a new operating system, it takes so long to relearn things

Hope you had a good day. I was at work. Praying for our country and our President, even while at work today. 🇺🇸

[TheConservativeParty]

Hello! I hope you are feeling better. 🌸🌼🌺

Me too.

I had a long ride to work, and listened to Rush on the car radio.

He talked a lot about prayer today, saying how much he appreciates our prayers for him, even if he does not always express it.

President Trump has said similar things.

Prayer is never wasted.

Baby steps and lots of oxygen and breathing treatments to go....

Oh my, doesn’t sound fun. Hang in there.

I found a funny YouTube channel yesterday. I watched a bunch of videos after seeing the first one.

Dogs are the stars of the videos. One very adorable puppy too.

If you are up to it, search YT for this title, and there are many other fun videos on that channel....

“Dog reviews food with baby puppy Tucker Taste Test 20”

Heart warming cuteness and comedy

😊

Its been one of the least favorite “adventures” of my life. LOL! Just remember, if you get it, there IS a stealth pneumonia that can cause great damage if you don’t get x-rayed and diagnosed properly. Then they put you on the “good” stuff.

Enjoy your doggie videos. :)

[TheConservativeParty]

Good to have you here!

[TheConservativeParty]

Unbreakable Faith

Bible in a Year:

• Genesis 46–48
• Matthew 13:1–30

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Isaiah 26:3 After doctors diagnosed their first-born son with autism, Diane Dokko Kim and her husband grieved facing a lifetime of caring for a cognitively disabled child. In her book Unbroken Faith, she admits to struggling with adjusting their dreams and expectations for their beloved son’s future. Yet through this painful process, they learned that God can handle their anger, doubts, and fears. Now, with their son reaching adulthood, Diane uses her experiences to encourage parents of children with special needs. She tells others about God’s unbreakable promises, limitless power, and loving faithfulness. She assures people that He gives us permission to grieve when we experience the death of a dream, an expectation, a way or a season of life.

In Isaiah 26, the prophet declares that God’s people can trust in the Lord forever, “for the Lord . . . is the Rock eternal” (v. 4). He’s able to sustain us with supernatural peace in every situation (v. 12). Focusing on His unchanging character and crying out to Him during troublesome times revitalizes our hope (v. 15).

When we face any loss, disappointment, or difficult circumstance, God invites us to be honest with Him. He can handle our ever-changing emotions and our questions. He remains with us and refreshes our spirits with enduring hope. Even when we feel like our lives are falling apart, God can make our faith unbreakable.

Reflect & Pray

Have you ever struggled with being honest with God when life feels overwhelming? How has God helped you deal with the death of a dream or expectation?

Loving God, please help me believe You can always be trusted with my honest emotions.
