Thanks for the ping and the song Lori, good to ‘see’ you! I’m going to include a ‘hi’ to others because I know I missed some pings today.
Wishing all a Blessed Sunday tomorrow.
How cute, Lori..I’m enjoying the song you shared..
Wish I could share today’s weather with you!
I took advantage of the warmth and hosed off the patio and washed the clear plastic bell that hangs over my bird feeder..It keeps the feeder out of reach of the squirrels.
Meanwhile I made soup...Taste tasting now to see if it needs more seasoning..( I cooked somthing that takes time..a rare event...LOL)

(HUGS) back attcha!!
Such a DIGNIFIED Gent!
I'm with you 100% on Awaiting the Warm Weather and Beauty of Spring;
I was just Thinking of the Lovely Flowering Shrubs that will Soon be in Bloom!
The Sweet Lady that Owned this Property before us Planted Several Beautiful Bushes,
And my Favorite is a Huge Spectacular Flowering Shrub that's Really Several Different Ones that Grew Together into a Glorious One.
Here's a Few Seconds of Video I Made of it, a Couple of Years Ago:
It is So Beautiful! I can't Wait for it to Bloom Again!
(((((Hugs, Dear Potlatch! Have a Beautiful and Blessed Sunday)))))
(((((Goodnight, and God Bless)))))
In a fast-paced culture of eat and run, few people make time to enjoy a leisurely meal in the company of friends. Someone has even remarked that the only way to enjoy a seven-course meal today is to get it all between two pieces of bread!
After many of the Israelite exiles in Babylon returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple and the walls of the city, they gathered to hear Ezra read from the Book of the Law given by God through Moses (Neh. 8:1). They listened to Gods Word for hours, while teachers among them gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading (v.8).
When they wept because of their shortcomings, Ezra, along with Nehemiah the governor, told them this was not a time for sorrow but a time for rejoicing. The people were told to prepare a feast and share it with those who had nothing, for the joy of the Lord is your strength (v.10). Then all the people went their way to eat and drink, to send portions and rejoice greatly, because they understood the words that were declared to them (v.12).
The spiritual banquet God has prepared for us in His Word is a cause for great joy. It is worth taking time to savor.
Read: Nehemiah 8:1-12

Good Morning, Meg!
Amen to your opening!
Beautiful!
A Blessed Sunday to you too!
I must have hiccupped! It posted THREE times! (So I asked the kind mod to remove two of them!)
Thanks, for the kind words, ML!
I noticed that!
It’s not your fault. It happens to everyone with a ping list.
That is so beautiful, Meg. The ground looks like ours. We’ve had quite a snow and lots of cold. I slept down in the den last night for more comfort and warmth. The snow is beautiful but I hate being locked in the house for I don’t know how long. Hope it ends today. They scraped the roads but its still slick. Its thick on my driveway also. When you get to the end of my driveway, the car has a tendency to slide when you’re turning out backwards. SO I JUST STAY TUCKED INSIDE UNTIL ITS OVER!
