I hope all that melting stuff doesn’t create more problems with black ice. Sure don’t need that!

I like the minis because I can keep from eating too many of them. I like the peanut butter ones, too, but don’t find them much. I also used to like when they’d make the strawberry or cherry ones for holidays, but guess they don’t do that anymore either.

We really need a LIKE button. Love the bedspread.

[luvie]

I’ve been nagging JimRob about a like button for years, but thank you! I love quilts and my MIL made many, many of them and left them to us and hubby’s brother when she passed away.

My sympathies to your husband and yourself on your loss. I still mourn mother after almost 40 years.

One of my closest friends is a docent at a quilt museum, which I’ve visited. Absolutely an art form. She makes little thingies out of quilting pieces to sell in their shop. Makes being house bound more tolerable. The first quilt hanging she made won an award. It was based on a unique floor tiling design my husband made for our bathroom. The kind that looks like you can find the pattern but, in fact, there is none.

Thank you.

Ah, priorities in order!

His Amazing Help

Read: Psalm 147:8–17

[God] spreads the snow like wool. Psalm 147:16

The sheriff marveled at the prayers, estimating “hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of prayers” were lifted to God for help as the East Troublesome Fire raged through the mountains of Colorado in the fall of 2020. Living up to its name, the blaze consumed 100,000 acres in twelve hours, roaring through tinder-dry forests, burning three hundred homes to the ground, and threatening entire towns in its path. Then came “the Godsend,” as one meteorologist called it. No, not rain. A timely snowfall. It fell across the fire zone, arriving early for that time of year—dropping up to a foot or more of wet snow—slowing the fire and, in some places, stopping it.

Such merciful help seemed too amazing to explain. Does God hear our prayers for snow? And rain too?  The Bible records His many answers, including after Elijah’s hope for rain (1 Kings 18:41–46). A servant of great faith, Elijah understood God’s sovereignty, including over the weather. As Psalm 147 says of God, “He supplies the earth with rain” (v. 8). “He spreads the snow like wool . . . . Who can withstand his icy blast?” (vv. 16–17).

Elijah could hear “the sound of a heavy rain” before clouds even formed (1 Kings 18:41). Is our faith in His power that strong? God invites our trust, no matter His answer. We can look to Him for His amazing help. — Patricia Raybon

What amazing help have you seen God bring in a dire situation? How does His help encourage your faith?

Amazing God, I bow at Your feet, humbled by Your merciful help whenever it comes. Thank You for encouraging my faith with Your sovereign power throughout the earth.

Bible in a year: Leviticus 8–10; Matthew 25:31–46
