We got a couple inches of much needed rain this weekend. I planted some trees on Saturday before the rain, and the soil was dry as far down as I dug the holes. That was some tough digging. 😅

OHh I miss having a pet to cuddle...our sweet dogs passed on about 6 years ago.

Tippy cuddled on the couch with me all the way through JEOPARDY!. She is so sqirmy and frisky that this is a new record for her. :-)

We love them so much, but their lives are so much shorter than ours. (sigh)

A House Undivided
Read: Ephesians 2:17–22

Every city or household divided against itself will not stand. Matthew 12:25

On June 16, 1858, as the newly nominated Republican candidate for the US Senate from Illinois, Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous “House Divided” speech, which highlighted the tensions between various factions in America regarding slavery. It caused a stir among Lincoln’s friends and foes. Lincoln felt it was important to use the “house divided” figure of speech which Jesus used in Matthew 12:25 because it was widely known and simply expressed. He used this metaphor “so it would strike home to the minds of men in order to rouse them to the peril of the times.”

While a divided house can’t stand, the implied opposite can—an undivided house stands unified. In principle, that’s what the household of God is designed to be (Ephesians 2:19). Though made up of people from various backgrounds, together we’ve been reconciled to God (and each other) through Jesus’ death on the cross (vv. 14–16). In view of this truth (see Ephesians 3), Paul offers this instruction to believers in Jesus: “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” (4:3).

Today, when heightened tensions threaten to divide people who are otherwise united, such as our families and fellow believers, God can give the wisdom and strength needed to keep unity with one another through the help of the Spirit. This will cause us to be light in a dark, divided world.Arthur Jackson

How could God use you to be a “family peacemaker”? What Scripture passages could help you counter relational tension and fracture? 

Jesus, please grant me wisdom, courage, and strength to live in ways that demonstrate reconciliation with all people. 

Bible in a year: Proverbs 19–21; 2 Corinthians 7

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday!

I took a long drive to see my aunt today, 2.5 hours each way. 😅

Road construction slowed me down. Lots of restricted highway lanes.

Anywho, got home around 9pm.

Geepers it gets dark early and fast these days. I do not like driving in the dark.

See ya on Thankful Thursday!

Good evening to all!

I don’t like driving at night either. Glad you got home safely and that you had a good visit with your aunt. I know she must have been happy to see you.

Was nice to see her. She is 91, and I am grateful she is still here. We talk a couple times a week via phone, but a real visit is nice. 🙂

Thankful you got home safely.
I can no longer drive at night.
Even dusk hours are bad for me.
I guess we need to thank the Lord we can still drive. ....
