Meg, thank you for all the colorful fall graphics today!
May your dreams be full of the crunchy sound of leaves underfoot,
As you walk through the beauty of Autumn, and smell the crisp, cool air!

Am I the only one whose FR “clock” is about 5 hours fast?

Mine is Always Off, too, Lonestar, by 2 or 3 Hours. There May be a Way to Synchronize it; I'm not Sure.

Thank you, Meg, Jaycee, and Dixie Sass, for your Kind Compliments on my Lord's Day Post this Morning!

Fewz, I Love your #788; it Put a Smile on my Face. : )

Thank you to Everyone for the Pings and Posts. Goodnight, Dear FRiends, and God Bless!

What a beautiful scene. Wouldn’t that make a delightful puzzle of oh, say 1500 pieces?

Night Meg and since you’ll see this in the morning - Morning Meggie!

READ: Philemon 1:4-16

In everything give thanks. —1 Thessalonians 5:18

Details make a difference. Ask the man from Germany who planned to visit his fiancée for Christmas but ended up in snowy Sidney, Montana, instead of sunny Sydney, Australia.

Prepositions in our language seem like insignificant details, but they can make a big difference. The words “in” and “for” are an example.

The apostle Paul wrote, “In everything give thanks” (1 Thess. 5:18). That doesn’t mean we have to be thankful for everything. We need not be thankful for the bad choices someone makes, but we can be thankful in the circumstances because the Lord can use the resulting difficulties for good.

The letter to Philemon illustrates this idea. Paul was imprisoned with Onesimus, a runaway slave. He certainly didn’t have to give thanks for his bad situation. Yet his letter is full of gratitude because he knew that God was using it for good. Onesimus had become something more than a slave; he was now a beloved brother in the Lord (v.16).

Knowing that God can use all things for good is more than enough reason to give thanks in everything. Giving thanks in difficult circumstances is a small detail that makes a big difference.

Father, thank You that in every trial, challenge, and difficulty, You are behind the scenes working things out for our good. Help us to see Your hand in everything. Amen.

God has not promised to keep us from life’s storms, but He will keep us through them.

Bible in One Year: Isaiah 39-40; Colossians 4

“God has not promised to keep us from life’s storms, but He will keep us through them.”

Amen, Mayor..Thank you for starting my day off right.
