Well, the wind is blowing hard enough that the sky has turned brown from the dirt being picked up, so don’t feel to jealous. :)

It is raining “cats and dogs” here in southern Wisconsin, which is way better than snowing “to beat the band” in central and northern WI.
Next week we are supposed to be near 60! Yippee!
To: luvie
I hope you are nowhere near the tornado warnings.

I want to adopt a puppy every time I see a picture of one. 🥰 So far I am holding out, and only have one (Moose). So many nice dogs on the local rescue website we got Moose from. Someday I will get another one. 🐶🐶

No, we’re in west Texas. All we’re having is high wind. The tornadoes are in AR, IL, KY and TN

I’m glad you aren’t having all the snow and I hope you are enjoying the rain. I sure would be!

We had 2 dogs at a time for 20 years. Now I am not sure I would like that anymore. Very easy with just one. Been 4 years with only one. Moose would love to have a brother. 🐶🐶 He watches dogs on TV with great interest.

December 11, 2021Caring for Those in Need
I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land. Deuteronomy 15:11
Elvis Summers answered the door to find Smokey, a frail woman who stopped by regularly to ask for empty cans to return for cash. This money was her primary source of income. Elvis got an idea. “Could you show me where you sleep?” he asked. Smokey led him to a narrow patch of dirt about two feet wide next to a house. Moved by compassion, Summers built her a “tiny house”—a simple shelter that provided space for her to sleep safely. Summers ran with the idea. He started a GoFundMe page and teamed with local churches to provide land to build more shelters for others who were homeless.
Throughout the Bible, God’s people are reminded to care for those in need. When God spoke through Moses to prepare the Israelites to enter the promised land, He encouraged them to “be openhanded and freely lend [to the poor] whatever they need” (Deuteronomy 15:8). This passage also noted that “there will always be poor people in the land” (v. 11). We don’t have to go far to see this is true. As God compassionately called the Israelites “to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites” (v. 11), we too can find ways to help those in need.
Everyone needs food, shelter, and water. Even if we don’t have much, may God guide us to use what we do have to help others. Whether it’s sharing a sandwich or a warm winter coat, small things can make a big difference! — Julie Schwab
Who do you know or have seen that may be in need of help today? What can you do to help?
Jesus, help me to find ways I can help those around me. Please give me a generous heart.
