Sounds like a plan. I need a new turntable so I can play all my ancient vinyl!

[TheConservativeParty]

Beautiful quilt!
🙂

[luvie]

Thank you. They’re very warm, too! No need for any electric blankets with these babies!

The snow squall is in progress right now.

A lot of stores are carrying turntables now. Some are entire systems, others just components.

Only one question——does Peaches get affected by the public adulation? Or still unspoiled?

[luvie]

Oh, he was spoiled long before he was a media star. LOL!

Thanks for “Sweet Beulah Land”!

Wish I knew how to save it in my music files.

[luvie]

If you have a music folder on your computer hard drive, you can right click on the link and “save file to...” and choose that folder to save it to. Clear as mud? Best I can do to try to explain it.

Leaning into God

Read: 1 Thessalonians 5:12–24

Pray continually. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Harriet Tubman couldn’t read or write. As an adolescent, she suffered a head injury at the hands of a cruel slave master. That injury caused her to have seizures and lapses of consciousness for the rest of her life. But once she escaped slavery, God used her to rescue as many as three hundred others.

Nicknamed “Moses” by those she freed, Harriet bravely made nineteen trips back to the pre-Civil War South to rescue others. She continued even when there was a price on her head and her life was in constant danger. A devoted believer in Jesus, she carried a hymnal and a Bible on every trip and had others read her verses, which she committed to memory and quoted often. “I prayed all the time,” she said, “about my work, everywhere; I was always talking to the Lord.” She also gave God credit for the smallest successes. Her life was a powerful expression of the apostle Paul’s instruction to the earliest Christians: “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18).

When we lean into God in the moment and live dependently in prayer, praising Him despite our difficulties, He gives us the strength to accomplish even the most challenging tasks. Our Savior is greater than anything we face, and He will lead us as we look to Him. — James Banks

How does spending time in God’s presence make you stronger? In what ways will you “lean into Him” today?

Loving and Almighty God, please help me to live every moment with You today and to receive the strength You alone can give.

I noticed that it is an MP3 file, did try to do a copy/paste (control+c / control+v) into a music folder but it didn’t work. The right-click copy/paste method might do the job. Will give it a try. Thanks. I’m a keyboard person; avoid mouse whenever possible.

Have a Blessed Sunday
😇

Thanks...I have been in bed all day with a migraine...except for the part when I crawled under my sister’s trailer to turn off the wter main when her water heater burst.

I know...that happened to me last summer, so I knew what to do.

Now I am catching up on my threads and will go to bed after walking the dog.

I hate migraines.

[TheConservativeParty]

Oh no, sorry to read you have a migraine. Horrible.

It is nice outside today, 40. Was only 20 yesterday. Supposedly there is snow coming the next 2 days.

Feel better soon
🌷🌷🌷

[left that other site]

Thanks.

((((HUGS))))

[luvie]

I hope you got it to work. And it’s right click and the SAVE file to….and then choose whichever folder you want that’s part of the computer system…like you do photos you keep on the computer.

[MayflowerMadam]

Actually, I was making it more difficult than it needed to be. While playing, there’s the three-dot menu thingie. Clicking on that there’s the option to “download”, so I saved it that way. (Our choir sang that song this morning in church. So pretty.)

[luvie]

Yay! Success!

It’s one of my favorite songs, too.

Never Say “Can’t”

Read: Exodus 3:7–10; 4:10–15

Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say. Exodus 4:12

Jen was born without legs and abandoned at the hospital. Yet she says being put up for adoption was a blessing. “I am here because of the people who poured into me.” Her adoptive family helped her to see she was “born like this for a reason.” They raised her to “never say ‘can’t’ ” and encouraged her in all her pursuits—including becoming an accomplished acrobat and aerialist! She meets challenges with an attitude of “How can I tackle this?” and motivates others to do the same.

The Bible tells the stories of many people God used who seemed incapable or unsuited for their calling—but God used them anyway. Moses is a classic example. When God called him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, he balked (Exodus 3:11; 4:1) and protested, “I am slow of speech and tongue.” God replied, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? . . . Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say” (4:10–12). When Moses still protested, God provided Aaron to speak for him and assured him He would help them (vv. 13–15).

Like Jen and like Moses, all of us are here for a reason—and God graciously helps us along the way. He supplies people to help us and provides what we need to live for Him. — Alyson Kieda

When have you felt incapable or ill-equipped for a task or role you felt God calling you to fill? How did God help you?

God, I’m so glad you didn’t leave me here on this earth to do it all on my own. Thank You for Your love and guidance and the people You’ve placed in my life.
