Y’all really need to move back to FL. I know, I know...can’t—but you’d sure be happier. Not to mention the difference in politics!

I am going to have a new addition to my garden next spring. I recently pre-ordered dahlia tubers. I am getting 7 different varieties. These are the large flowered dahlias. I got them at www.dahlias.com (Swan Island Dahlias in Oregon). They have beautiful pictures of the flowers there. I picked out 6 kinds and they threw in a free one. 😀

Sounds lovely! I’d love some peonies, but they don’t do well here in the desert. Not much does. 🌵LOL

December 14, 2021What Should I Say?
I prayed to the God of heaven, and I answered the king. Nehemiah 2:4–5
When I stopped to browse through a box of books marked “C. S. Lewis” at a used bookshop, the store owner appeared. As we chatted about the available titles, I wondered if he might be interested in the faith that inspired much of Lewis’ writing. I prayed silently for guidance. Information from a biography came to mind, and we began to discuss how C. S. Lewis’ character pointed to God. In the end, I was thankful that a quick prayer had reoriented our conversation to spiritual matters.
Nehemiah paused to pray before a pivotal moment in a conversation with King Artaxerxes in Persia. The king had asked how he could help Nehemiah, who was distraught over Jerusalem’s destruction. Nehemiah was the king’s servant and therefore in no position to ask for favors, but he needed one—a big one. He wanted to restore Jerusalem. So, he “prayed to the God of heaven” before asking to leave his job so he could reestablish the city (Nehemiah 2:4–5). The king consented and even agreed to help Nehemiah make travel arrangements and procure timber for the project.
The Bible encourages us to pray “on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests” (Ephesians 6:18). This includes moments when we need courage, self-control, or sensitivity. Praying before we speak helps us give God control of our attitude and our words.
How might He want to direct your words today? Ask Him and find out! — Jennifer Benson Schuldt
What patterns of speech do you need God’s help to change? What types of situations in your life could benefit most from prayer?
Dear God, I surrender my words to You. Use them for Your glory. Help them to inspire and encourage others.

Batten down. I had heard it might get rough, but I hope it's not too awful where you are. It was a nice day for a horseback ride and that's the main thing! 🐴

High winds are the worst. I’d rather have a lot of snow instead.

December 15, 2021I Am His Hands
The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” 1 Corinthians 12:21
Jia Haixia lost his sight in the year 2000. His friend Jia Wenqi lost his arms as a child. But they’ve found a way around their disabilities. “I am his hands and he is my eyes,” Haixia says. Together, they’re transforming their village in China.
Since 2002 the friends have been on a mission to regenerate a wasteland near their home. Each day Haixia climbs on Wenqi’s back to cross a river to the site. Wenqi then “hands” Haixia a shovel with his foot, before Haixia places a pail on a pole between Wenqi’s cheek and shoulder. And as one digs and the other waters, the two plant trees—more than 10,000 so far. “Working together, we don’t feel disabled at all,” Haixia says. “We’re a team.”
The apostle Paul likens the church to a body, each part needing the other to function. If the church were all eyes, there’d be no hearing; if all ears, there’d be no sense of smell (1 Corinthians 12:14–17). “The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don’t need you!’ ” Paul says (v. 21). Each of us plays a role in the church based on our spiritual gifts (vv. 7–11, 18). Like Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi, when we combine our strengths, we can bring change to the world.
Two men combining their abilities to regenerate a wasteland. What a picture of the church in action! — Sheridan Voysey
Based on your spiritual gifts, what part do you play in the body of Christ? How are you joining with others to fulfill His mission?
Holy Spirit, thank You for giving me spiritual gifts and arranging me in a body where I’m needed.

The wind is cranking up here.
Scary.

Be safe. I’m watching AgendaFreeTV and he’s showing the line of storms just now entering Wisconsin. I hope it passes soon with no really bad stuff.

Been watching weather channels all night. Will be glad when this is over. Looks like the line of storms will be here in the next hour. They keep saying the wind will still be bad after that. Oh goodie. It is howling out there in the trees. 😬
To: TheConservativeParty
Hope you don’t have any major wind damage. We always end up with small branches all over the yard. The other day it blew my patio table tablecloth off, but it was found wadded up in a corner near the gate. LOL!

We lucked out and the red line of storms broke up right before it got here!
Yay! We will still have “ hurricane low” winds all night from the tight isobars, but I am relieved we had no straight line winds or tornadoes.
cheers
