A Beautiful GratiTuesday Evening To All

[TheConservativeParty]

Happy Gratituesday.
We’ve had rain, sun, warmth and enough cold to wear a jacket today. Strange weather.

In the last week, I painted the north exterior of my house. This is the side I couldn’t finish a few years ago. Well, we ordered new windows for the house recently and I knew it was time to finish painting the house.

I’d like to say to ZeroBama...

“Yes, I did paint that.”

There, got that off my chest.

LOL

Lol, Hugs! I was just Reading Some Threads about the Obamanation, and I will be So Glad when he is Defeated and Out of the White House!!

I Worked Outside Most of the Day Today, Pruning Shrubs and Doing Other Yard Work.
It was Nice and Felt Like Autumn Weather, but it's Supposed to be Hot Again in a Couple of Days.

(((((Goodnight, Dear FRiends. Our Lord Grant us All a Peaceful and Restful Night)))))

Standing In The Fire
September 19, 2012

Wrapped in blankets in my grandparents’ pickup, I watched as fire consumed our home. My father says I slept soundly as he carried my brother and me and our puppies out to safety. When I woke up and saw the huge blaze, I was already safe. I was too curious and too young to be scared.

I remember several things from that night. Even inside the truck, the heat was intense and the fire was mesmerizing. I remember too the fear on the faces of everyone else, checking and re-checking to see if loved ones were safe. Later I learned that in the chaos my father raced into the fire to look for my grandfather, which prompted my grandfather (who was not inside the house) to race in to get my father. Their courage affected all who saw it that night.

I’m reminded of that fire every time I read the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. When challenged with the decree to bow to the king or face execution (Dan. 3:10-12), these three bravely faced the fire for the One they loved (vv.16-18). And the Lord stood with them in the flames (v.25).

When life’s “flames” test us, may those who observe our choices recognize our love for each other and for our God.

For Further Thought
Read more of Daniel and his friends in Daniel 1–3.
How do their lives encourage you to stand firm for God?
Ask the Lord to help you make courageous choices today.

Trials are the soil in which faith grows.

Read: Daniel 3:10-25

Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace. —Daniel 3:17

Bible in a Year:
Daniel 1-3

Aw! That is so warm and fuzzy!

Winter chill in the air lately. One day it’s summer, next it’s winter. That’s Wisconsin for ya.

The house got down to 63 degrees this morning. Not turning on the furnace this soon in fall. Just adding warmer clothes so far. Hope and change, can’t be usin’ the furnace! Back to Jimma Carter, “just wear a sweater!”.

Cheers

[jaycee]

Thank you so much, teenie! I hadn’t thought about it until I saw your post. Can’t believe its been so many years here!!
Thanks again, my friend! (((((HUGS)))))

(((((It's SO Good to See you, Dear Jaycee!!)))))
I've been Worrying, because we haven't Seen you Post in Quite Awhile.

[oldteen]

You're welcome. So many b'days and anniversaries have been missed here lately.

SO, my apologies to anyone who was not honored on their special day!

[oldteen]

We haven't had anything near a winter chill yet but I sure am enjoying the cool evenings around here. I'm a Fall kinda person. Love it when I can do yard work and not worry about it getting too hot! lol

Like you, I too use the 'add some layers'. No need for using heat unless absolutely necessary.
