Dentist appointment wasn't pleasant, but necessary. At least, thank goodness, I don't have a phobia....I'd just rather be somewhere, anywhere, else. LOL.

Yes, it rained here some this afternoon and evening. There is sure to be fog tomorrow AM. I hate it too!

Hi Polly, I ran all day yesterday and didn't get to answer mail and have Red Hat Luncheon today, so I will get around to it sooner or later.....Life is so fast, isn't it?

Hugs~~

Hi Jaycee :)



How are you? Are you getting this awful weather too? I'm kind of ok with it. So long as all stay safe. I just want to be a bit lazy today. :)

God Bless Our Military!

The sun is coming through but I have so much outside like cleaning out the old flowers, etc. and seems I can’t get time on a real warm day. Have a Red Hat Luncheon today and I’ve been playing on the computer...LOL! But I will have to get busy after this!

Have a terrific day!

[GodBlessUSA]

I can totally relate. I have all that to do too. I still have perennials to cut down. There are a lot of leaves to rake. It looks endless. LOL

Have a great time at your luncheon!

No Deal!

READ: Luke 4:1-13

It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” —Luke 4:4

We’ve all seen and heard advertisements that entice us to take shortcuts to happiness. Buy our product and make no payments for one year! Instant gratification!

When the devil tempted Jesus (Luke 4:1-13), he offered a shortcut to “satisfaction.” He tried to tempt Jesus to take matters into His own hands rather than trust His Father.

When Jesus was hungry from 40 days of fasting (v.2), Satan suggested that He use His power to turn stones into bread. Had the Lord done so, He would have been using His powers for His own benefit, but He refused.

Why didn’t Jesus accept the devil’s offer of ruling all the kingdoms of the world right away? (vv.5-7). He could have avoided the cross. But that would have gone against God’s plan for Him—to give His life on the cross, to be resurrected, and to sit at the Father’s right hand in His kingdom. Satan’s offer of a shortcut was no deal at all.

Beware of enticements that seem to cost little for the present. Satan hopes to get you to do things his way. And he doesn’t give up easily. Even after Jesus overcame a third temptation, Satan left only “until an opportune time” (v.13).

Whenever you are offered a shortcut to happiness, watch out to see who’s behind the cashier’s counter!

Lord, help me see the devil’s offers for what they are—enticements to sin. Help me to keep my eyes focused on You and Your Word, and my ears attentive to You in prayer. Amen.

The best way to escape temptation is to run to God.

Ahhhhh Good Morning to you dear Jaycee!! What a busy woman you are! Pooh, as usual is so sweet!

Heard from my daughter yesterday afternoon that granddaughter Shelby’s transition into the group home went fairly smooth.
It’s this grandma that isn’t making the transition as well!

Have a great day! Enjoy your Red Hat Luncheon. Where are you dining?

[jaycee]

I made the reservations so I hope its good. I do know its a pretty new restaurant in town called Macado’s. They are located in Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and West Virginia and maybe more that I’m unaware of. Its a beautiful little brick place with outside dining in good weather, etc.

They have lots of fancy sandwiches and a big variety of other things such as Quesedillas (sp.), lots of salads and side dishes. I also noticed they have several things such as Lasagna with salad and delicious bread, also Chicken Parmesan with same salad, etc....they have enough variety that everyone should be able to find something they like. Frankly, I am easy pleased and like most everything.

Signing off now this time for sure....LOL!

[jaycee]

Thank you, Mr. Mayor, for the lovely devotion today, as always!! I always am blessed by these daily blessings.
