Single digits and windy here.

I tried to go out, but the windshield wiper fluid flash froze on my winshield into a glob of ice.

So I turned around and went home.

Oh my, going home is a good choice when that happens.
We will all be glad when spring gets here.

I LOVE Spring.

[TheConservativeParty]

I can hardly wait to see the bulbs I planted, bloom. Later in spring, I have a few dahlia tubers arriving from dahlias.com. I never had the bigger dahlias before. I have 7 ordered. If they do well I will no doubt go overboard with more colors the following year. 😅

I love bulbs...plant ‘em once, and they come back every year. That is, unless the squirrels EAT them. (The probably taste like garlic!)

[TheConservativeParty]

I am concerned about the deer munching the tulips, but hopefully the daffodils and hyacinths will live up to their reputation of being less than appealing. I found an ultrasonic motion detected device on Amazon (🙄) to (allegedly) deter critters, even deer. Am waiting to purchase until closer to spring because I don’t want to begin the one year warranty yet.

Wasn’t it great to hear from Yorkie again! 🙂

Yes. I have missed her so much.

Hearing Us from Heaven

Read: 1 Kings 8:37–45

Hear from heaven their prayer and their plea. 1 Kings 8:45

At eighteen months old, little Maison had never heard his mother’s voice. Then doctors fitted him with his first hearing aids and his mom, Lauryn, asked him, “Can you hear me?” The child’s eyes lit up. “Hi, Baby!” Lauryn added. A smiling Maison responded to his mother with soft coos. In tears, Lauryn knew she’d witnessed a miracle. She’d given birth to Maison prematurely after gunmen shot her three times during a random home invasion. Weighing just one pound, Maison spent 158 days in intensive care and wasn’t expected to survive, let alone be able to hear.

That heart-warming story reminds me of the God who hears us. King Solomon prayed fervently for God’s attuned ear, especially during troubling times. When “there is no rain” (1 Kings 8:35), during “famine or plague,” disaster or disease (v. 37), war (v. 44), and even sin, “hear from heaven their prayer and their plea,” Solomon prayed, “and uphold their cause” (v. 45).

In His goodness, God responded with a promise that still stirs our hearts. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14). Heaven may seem a long way off. Yet Jesus is with those who believe in Him. God hears our prayers, and He answers them. — Patricia Raybon

What troubling situation can you pray about today, believing God is hearing you from heaven? What help from God can you thank Him for because He hears your plea?

Heavenly Father, during my toughest struggles and troubles, I thank You for hearing my humble cry.

Bible in a year: Genesis 29–30; Matthew 9:1–17

Handsome Peaches Says...
Have a Warm & Fuzzy
Wednesday!

[mairdie]

Well done matching the exquisite border to a very handsome cat. The green of the eyes and the pink of the inside of the ear are amazingly matched. Quite impressive.

[luvie]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

He’s beautiful, Sis!
I’m having a warm and fuzzy Wednesday
here at home with Mr.B and Tigermaus!

The kitchen wood stove is crackling merrily along,
and I have the day off!
YAY!

[TheConservativeParty]

Hi Peaches! Lookin’ Good!

[TheConservativeParty]

Warm here too. Went on a long walk in the snow with Moose. Later, filled some bird feeders for a few minutes, without needing a coat! 🙂

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you.

[luvie]

Sounds like the perfect way to spend a day off on a cold winter day! How is Tigermaus doing? And Mr. B? Tell him hi for me, Sis!

[luvie]

Awwww...glad you weren’t quite in the deep freeze today!

Back to the deep freeze this weekend.

What happened to Global Warming? We could use some of that right now.
