All Fixed!

However, I waited all day, on a magnificent day for a ride.

I did ride Blue to work this morning, a distance of about 15 miles each way, but had to get home in time to wait for the plumber.

Ugh.

NOT all fixed.

Big job ahead.

[TheConservativeParty]

Oh no.😕
We had a $900 tractor repair this week.
Plumbers ain’t cheep 🐥 either. 🙄

I’m hoping fifty foot powered snake will rememdy the problim, but if not, it might mean tearing out walls. Ugh.

My friend will get the snake tomorrow, but now i have to miss a baptism of some new Church members. I wanted to be there, but I was just going to be a witness, not playing the music or anything.

[TheConservativeParty]

Hopefully the snake will get ‘er done. We don’t want to be tearing out walls.

Amen! Let it Be, Dear Lord, Let it Be.

[The Mayor]

Thanks Luvie for being here everyday!
Appreciate you very much.

[luvie]

Awww...thank you for your kind words, Rus. I admire and love your loyalty and dedication, too! ((((hugs))))

[JustAmy]

And I appreciate both of you!

[luvie]

Thank you, Amy! You’re a trooper keeping this room open for us who need the peace.

[The Mayor]

I know many of us need a place of peace these days.
It’s a crazy place right now. Newer members on FR are very
argumentative and use foul language we have always avoided.

I’m not here as often as I used to be but this is the best place
to post Our Daily Bread and continue on. Thank you both

[The Mayor]

Freep mail me to be on or off the Daily Bread ping list

God Carries Us

Bible in a Year:

• Psalms 35–36
• Acts 25

There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.

Deuteronomy 1:31

In 2019, Hurricane Dorian overwhelmed the islands of the Bahamas with intense rain, wind, and flooding—the worst natural disaster in the country’s history. As he sheltered at home with his adult son who has cerebral palsy, Brent knew they needed to leave. Even though Brent is blind, he had to save his son. Tenderly, he placed him over his shoulders and stepped into chin-deep water to carry him to safety.

If an earthly father facing a great obstacle is eager to help his son, think of how much more our heavenly Father is concerned about His children. In the Old Testament, Moses recalled how God carried His people even as they experienced the danger of faltering faith. He reminded the Israelites of how God had delivered them, providing food and water in the desert, fighting against their enemies, and guiding the Israelites with pillars of cloud and fire. Meditating on the many ways God acted on their behalf, Moses said, “There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son” (Deuteronomy 1:31).

The Israelites’ journey through the wilderness wasn’t easy, and their faith waned at times. But it was full of evidence of God’s protection and provision. The image of a father carrying a son—tenderly, courageously, confidently—is a wonderful picture of how God cared for Israel. Even when we face challenges that test our faith, we can remember that God’s there carrying us through them.

Reflect & Pray

In what ways have you seen God’s provision and protection in your life? How can you face difficulties knowing that God carries you tenderly and confidently?

Loving God, help me remember that You carry me, even when I don’t feel it. Thank You for Your strength and compassion.

(((((hugs))))) to you and Jul....y’all are that backbone of conservatism in WNY. I always look forward to seeing your beautiful lessons from God’s ♰ Word here and in other places.

[luvie]

Without context, I thought you had hired a real snake 🐍 to like maybe go into the walls and catch mice 🐭. LOL!

Happy Summer Saturday!

What a Gorgeous day! I managed to get a little bit riding in, but most of the day was spent with a plumbing problem. Ugh. The plumber is coming again tomorrow to work on it, after church.

(((HUGS)))

Well, that sux that you had plumber problems, but Yay that you got in a ride! Blow those cobwebs away. 🏍 vaaaa-ROOM!

[TheConservativeParty]

I wish the plumber was your friend, so he’d give you a good discount.
