What a different and cute graphic!! I can see kitty now ripping the paper to shreds. LOL!

You will deserve to go to bed, when they are down for the night! Kids like to stay awake all night when they’re visiting. Don’t know how you do it, guess the Lord gives you the strength to do it all.

We have been lucky in my area so far, although we will get some worse weather along the way. Lots of folks are really seeing it tough. We had 80 yesterday and it was beautiful. I even got to sit down about 30 minutes on the patio...was so nice! I’ve had a busy several days and it continues...LOL!

Recession Proof
All that is in heaven and in earth is Yours. —1 Chronicles 29:11

In his sermon titled “What Is the Recession For?” pastor John Piper suggests that when the economy plummets, God has His own purposes. Some of them might be:

1. To expose hidden sin and so bring us to repentance and cleansing.

2. To wake us up to the constant and desperate condition of the developing world, where there is always and only recession of the worst kind.

3. To relocate the roots of our joy in His grace rather than in our goods, in His mercy rather than in our money, in His worth rather than in our wealth.

4. To advance His saving mission in the world—the spread of the gospel and the growth of His church—precisely at a time when human resources are least able to support it.

5. To bring His church to care for its hurting members and to grow in the gift of love.

What else does God want to teach us in difficult times? That nothing is impossible with Him (Luke 1:37). That He who owns “the cattle on a thousand hills” (Ps. 50:10) is not limited by an economic downturn. That God hasn’t placed a moratorium on the Great Commission nor abandoned us (Matt. 28:20). Let’s not put our hopes on worldly prosperity, but on the One who owns it all!

When difficulties come our way,
God uses them to show
That when we put our trust in Him
His goodness we will know. —Sper

When all you have is God, you have all you need.

Bible in One Year: 1 Kings 12-13; Luke 22:1-20

Lovely, jaycee..Amen! Wonderful message!
I had to go to my gas/ convenience store to retreive my lost billfold..What was lost has been found..God is good.
I did not know it was missing for over a day..but assumed I had left it on the counter..I was told they would call if found..no call..I called again yesterday...seems the manager would finally return this morning and could look..It was in one of her desk drawers..I’ve been singing Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

My heart overflows with gratitude...I had a very trying time ahead of new Drivers license, credit card cancellations, etc, etc.
I had literally torn up the house and searched every nook and cranny in the car in case my memory was faulty or it had fallen out of my purse somehow..

Over The Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

One day I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why oh why can’t i

Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can’t i

Something wonderful happened after something so awful!! I hate to lose ANYTHING but especially a wallet with all our important things in it. So happy you found it but I know the worry you must have gone through. Replacing driver's license, plus all other i.d., including our credit cards is so frightening and trouble replacing it all.

Back during the bitter cold weather, I lost a pair of grey driving gloves. I knew where I probably lost them and it was my grocery store. I went back two days later and 2 of the girls in there said "oh, yes, those gloves are here...I will go to the office and get them for you."

I saw several girls over there looking and chatting for a few minutes and one came back and said "we couldn't find them but I remember seeing those very gloves." One of the girls walked over to the door with me and told me that someone probably wore them home because it was so cold. MADE ME SO MAD! I meant to report it to the manager but didn't! Everyone isn't honest!! I loved those gloves.
