~Happy Sunday To Amy's Place~

Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth.
~Martin Luther

*A BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY*
Dear Amy

*Hope You Had A Wonderful Day*

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Meg.

I had a great day doing nothing.
After the stress of the Holidays, it was great to just relax.

Son cooked dinner and he did a great job.
I am blessed.

Hey there! No snow here. The little we had melted.

Had a great day seeing my nephew on his 25th birthday. Great “kid”. I made him his favorite dish , german potato salad, picked up some cupcakes for “cake”. Those Hostess cupcakes are pretty good. I told him they took me hours to make!

Cheers!

Very pretty winter scene!
No snow here in southern WI.
So far we all like it that way!

Oh, our snow is gone too. Now it’s just cold cold cold.

Mysterious Helpers

Bible in a Year:

• Genesis 16–17
• Matthew 5:27–48

Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

Hebrews 13:2

Louise suffers from muscular dystrophy. While trying to exit a train station one day, she found herself facing a large flight of stairs without an elevator or escalator. On the verge of tears, Louise saw a man suddenly appear, pick up her bag, and gently help her up the stairs. When she turned to thank him, he was gone.

Michael was late for a meeting. Already stressed from a relationship breakdown, he started battling London’s traffic only to get a flat tire. As he stood helplessly in the rain, a man stepped out of the crowd, opened the boot (trunk), jacked up the car, and changed the wheel. When Michael turned to thank him, he was gone.

Who were these mysterious helpers? Kind strangers, or something more?

The popular image we have of angels as radiant or winged creatures is only half true. While some appear this way (Isaiah 6:2; Matthew 28:3), others come with dusty feet, ready for a meal (Genesis 18:1­–5) and are easily mistaken for everyday people (Judges 13:16). The writer of Hebrews says that by showing hospitality to strangers, we can entertain angels without realizing it (13:2).

We don’t know if Louise and Michael’s helpers were angels. But according to Scripture, they could have been. Angels are at work right now, helping God’s people (Hebrews 1:14). And they can appear as ordinary as a person on the street.

Reflect & Pray

What do you know about angels? Can you think of an instance when you may have encountered one without realizing it at the time?

Thank You, God, for the angels You send, meeting us in our time of need.

What a beauty. Reminds me of my son’s husky, Dakota, who was the best dog ever!

[TheConservativeParty]

Oooh that is a gorgeous dog! Such blue eyes.

Nice sunny day here in Wisconsin

Oh that’s a good one!
LOL

I don’t think my dog can do that.

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you.

[TheConservativeParty]

Love those yo-yos! 😄

[luvie]

Those EYES!

Dakota...he died several years ago.
He'd have loved living in Jackson Hole...all that snow!
