Happy Monday!

Sunny and pretty nice for winter here.

We are going to miss out on most of the big snowstorm that will go just south of Wisconsin this week.

Weather channels are featuring the storm predictions.

Glad we will probably be spared from shoveling.

woot
😅

Good Monday afternoon! Great that y’all will miss this next round of crazy. I think we’re the ones in the bullseye this time. LOL! Not AS bad as it would be up there, but a high of 30 on Thursday is a far cry from the 65 we have today. LOL! I have the heater off and the doors open to air the house out after it being closed up for so long. Feels good to breathe “real” air!

[luvie]

Yiiiiiiikes! Now that’s some snow right there! Hope you’re beginning to warm up a bit so that mass of snow will melt. Penny will be happy. LOL!

[TheConservativeParty]

Wow! That is a mess.

I have relatives who live in Boxford, MA.
I just looked it up and it is north of Boston.

Hang in there!

I have been told that there will be an even bigger storm at the end of the week.

I am getting a wee bit discouraged.

[TheConservativeParty]

I heard the weather channel saying that today.
They also interviewed a woman whose house in on the seashore.
Her house survived but they had a scary night during the storm.

[left that other site]

A student of mine lives in a house right on the seashore that was hardest hit. I am supposed to go there tomorrow to teach a lesson at 1:00PM. I just left word on her phone asking if it was still OK to come. I hope she calls me tonight so I won’t worry all night about it.

[luvie]

I can certainly understand that discouragement. It gets old! FAST!

Got my Innovo Pulse Oximeter today! It is awesome. My level was 99% and hubby was 94%.

That is Good News! I've Learned a Lot about how to Treat the China Virus from Reading your Posts.
Will Check Out the Innovo Pulse Oxymeters at Amazon.

Thank you to All FRiends for the Daily Pics & Pings.
(((((Love to Everyone, and God Bless)))))

[TheConservativeParty]

It is an Innovo model number iP900AP was about $36 with free shipping if you can get through all the tricks Amazon has to not give you free standard shipping. First they try to get you to join Amazon Prime, then some student thing with free shipping, then you have to find the shipping options and click on the free standard shipping. Then check your summary to be sure they have deducted the shipping. They make it a challenge to get the free shipping. 🙄 It saves $7 on this item to get free shipping. This item is way better than the junk they have at Walgreens.

Good night Kitty!

Love Wherever We Go

Read: Matthew 25:31–40

Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25:40

I sat on the pier during a vacation, reading my Bible and watching my husband fish. A young man approached us, suggesting we use different bait. He glanced at me as he fidgeted from one foot to another and said, “I’ve been in jail.” He pointed to my Bible and sighed, “Do you think God really cares about people like me?”

Opening to Matthew 25, I read aloud that Jesus talked about His followers visiting those in prison.

“It says that? About being in prison?” Tears brimmed his eyes when I shared how God considers kindness toward His children a personal act of love toward Himself (vv. 31–40).

“I wish my parents would forgive me too.” He lowered his head. “I’ll be right back.” He returned and handed me his tattered Bible. “Would you show me where to find those words?”

I nodded. My husband and I hugged him as we prayed for him and his parents. We exchanged contact information and have continued praying for him.

At one point or another, we’ll feel unloved, unwelcomed, in need, and even physically or emotionally imprisoned (vv. 35–36). We’ll need reminders of God’s loving compassion and forgiveness. We’ll also have opportunities to support others who struggle with these feelings. We can be a part of God’s redeeming plan as we spread His truth and love wherever we go. — Xochitl Dixon

How can you love God by showing love to others today? In what ways has He showed you love through others?

Father, thank You for loving me, forgiving me, and giving me opportunities to share Your truth as I love You by loving others.

Discover what real love is.

Bible in a year: Exodus 27–28; Matthew 21:1–22

Happy GratiTuesday!

Hi there, had a busy day. Went to ride horsie this morning and then worked a few hours, then a trip to Sam’s Club with my mother who is a member of Sam’s Club.

Was 45 degrees today! Colder the rest of the week though.

Have a good night!

Today was a meltie day, but more snow is expected to come this weekend.

I’m still sore from shoveling the last pile!

[TheConservativeParty]

I hope there is much less snowfall for you this next time.
Around here, the forecast is unclear because the big storm might go a bit south of us, but they are not sure yet.

We had some melting today. We are back to days under 20 after today.
45 degrees felt like 65.

[left that other site]

45 would be good enough! :-)

A Humble Posture

Read: Psalm 16

I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.” Psalm 16:2

“Keep your hands behind your back. You’ll be fine.” That’s the loving admonition Jan’s husband always gave before she ventured off to speak to a group. When she found herself trying to impress people or seeking to control a situation, she’d adopt this posture because it put her in a teachable, listening frame of mind. She used it to remind herself to love those before her and to be humble and available to the Holy Spirit.

Jan’s understanding of humility is rooted in King David’s observation that everything comes from God. David said to God, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing” (Psalm 16:2). He learned to trust God and seek His counsel: “Even at night my heart instructs me” (v. 7). He knew that with God next to him, he’d not be shaken (v. 8). He didn’t need to puff himself up because he trusted in the mighty God who loved him.

As we look to God each day, asking Him to help us when we feel frustrated or to give us words to speak when we feel tongue-tied, we’ll see Him at work in our lives. We’ll “partner with God,” as Jan says; and we’ll realize that if we’ve done well, it’s because God has helped us flourish.

We can look at others with love, our hands clasped behind our backs in a posture of humility to remind us that everything we have comes from God. — Amy Boucher Pye

How do you feel when you place yourself in a humble posture before someone else? How could you depend on God to help you with the tasks before you today?

Creator God, You’ve created the world and all that’s within it, and yet You love me and want to use me for Your glory. Help me to look to You for help and strength.
