Thanks for your Sunday posts! We are expecting 34 degrees here in southern Wisconsin tonight. I covered a few plants that I want to save from this round of cold. Warm weather is expected after this cold night. Have a nice Sunday evening 😊

Yikes! I want it to cool off, but that is just excessive. Stay warm and I hope your plants survive!

October 5Begin with the End
He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:6What do you want to be when you grow up? I was often asked that question as a child. And the answers changed like the wind. A doctor. A firefighter. A missionary. A worship leader. A physicistor actually, MacGyver (a favorite TV character)! Now, as a dad of four kids, I think of how difficult it must be for them to be asked that question. There are times when I want to say, I know what youll be great at! Parents can sometimes see more in their children than the children can see in themselves.
This resonates with what Paul saw in the Philippian believersthose he loved and prayed for (Philippians 1:3). He could see the end; he knew what theyd be when all was said and done. The Bible gives us a grand vision of the end of the storyresurrection and the renewal of all things (see 1 Corinthians 15 and Revelation 21). But it also tells us whos writing the story.
Paul, in the opening lines of a letter he wrote from prison, reminded the Philippian church that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6). Jesus started the work and Hell complete it. The word completion is particularly importantthe story doesnt just end, for God leaves nothing unfinished.
By: Glenn Packiam Reflect & Pray
Where are you in your story? How can you trust Jesus to take the pen from your hand and to bring your story to completion?
Dear Jesus, Youre in charge of my story. Its not up to me to make it happen. I surrender my life to You. Help me to trust You.

Good Military Monday to Amy's Place!
Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower Addresses Troops Of The 101st Airborne Division 5 June 1944, The Eve Of D-Day Normandy
The Soldiers Code
1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.
2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.
3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.
5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.
6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

October 6Youll See Her Again
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:22The room was dim and silent as I pulled a chair close to Jacquies bed. Before a three-year battle with cancer, my friend had been a vibrant person. I could still picture her laughingeyes full of life, her face lit with a smile. Now she was quiet and still, and I was visiting her in a special care facility.
Not knowing what to say, I decided to read some Scripture. I pulled my Bible out of my purse and turned to a reference in 1 Corinthians and began to read.
After the visit and an emotional time in the seclusion of my parked car, a thought came to mind that slowed my tears: Youll see her again. Caught up in sadness, I had forgotten that death is only temporary for believers (1 Corinthians 15:2122). I knew Id see Jacquie again because both of us had trusted in Jesus death and resurrection for the forgiveness of our sin (vv. 34). When Jesus came back to life after His crucifixion, death lost its ultimate power to separate believers from each other and from God. After we die, well live again in heaven with God and all of our spiritual brothers and sistersforever.
Because Jesus is alive today, believers in Him have hope in times of loss and sorrow. Death has been swallowed up in the victory of the cross (v. 54).
By: Jennifer Benson Schuldt Reflect & Pray
How has God comforted you in times of sorrow? How might He want to use you to comfort someone whos grieving today?
Dear Jesus, thank You for dying for my sin. I believe that Youre alive today because God raised You from the dead.
