Sleep well, tired drywall worker! I have done 2 drywall projects and that is heavy work. We did our old farmhouse ( my folk’s house) and my sister’s new house. Heavy stuff and lots of holding it in place. Great excercise but I’ll probably never do that again. Kinda like baling hay. No thanks, been there done that! 😅
Have a good night!
Hope ya had a great Caturday/Dogurday!
😄
Good night dear Kitty!
Have a restful peaceful evening
💫⭐️🌟🌙
Really enjoyed the Trump rally tonight!
😊
I did too. I don’t know how he keeps going so long in that heat in a suit! LOL!
LOVED what he said about the “woke”. :)
I laughed when it looked like it was going to rain soon and he said if it rains he’d get to prove that all his (glorious) hair is real! 😁
Yes, that was one of those “real” moments. LOL!
He is the best. 😊
Bible in a Year:
[Saul said], “The Lord delivered me into your hands, but you did not kill me.”
The farmer climbed into his truck and began his morning inspection of the crops. On reaching the farthest edge of the property, his blood began to boil. Someone had used the farm’s seclusion to illegally dump their trash—again.
As he filled the truck with the bags of food scraps, the farmer found an envelope. On it was printed the offender’s address. Here was an opportunity too good to ignore. That night he drove to the offender’s house and filled his garden with not just the dumped trash but his own!
Revenge is sweet, some say, but is it right? In 1 Samuel 24, David and his men were hiding in a cave to escape a murderous King Saul. When Saul wandered into the same cave to relieve himself, David’s men saw a too-good-to-ignore opportunity for David to get revenge (vv. 3–4). But David went against this desire to get even. “The Lord forbid that I should do such a thing to my master,” he said (v. 6). When Saul discovered that David chose to spare his life, he was incredulous. “You are more righteous than I,” he exclaimed (vv. 17–18).
As we or our loved ones face injustice, opportunities to take revenge on offenders may well come. Will we give in to these desires, as the farmer did, or go against them, like David? Will we choose righteousness over revenge?
Reflect & Pray
When have you most felt like getting even with someone? How can David’s response guide you as you seek justice for yourself and others?
Jesus, lover of our enemies, may I seek justice Your way.

Bible in a Year:
You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria.
The Jews and Samaritans also shared a mutually irritating relationship. Being a people of mixed origin and worshiping their own gods, the Samaritans—in the eyes of the Jews—had spoiled the Jewish bloodline and faith, erecting a rival religion on Mount Gerizim (John 4:20). In fact, the Jews so despised Samaritans they would walk the long way around rather than take the direct route through their country.
Jesus revealed a better way. He brought salvation for all people, including Samaritans. So He ventured into the heart of Samaria to bring living water to a sinful woman and her town (vv. 4–42). His last words to His disciples were to follow His example. They must share His good news with everyone, beginning in Jerusalem and dispersing through Samaria until they reached “the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Samaria was more than the next geographical sequence. It was the most painful part of the mission. The disciples had to overcome lifetimes of prejudice to love people they didn’t like.
Does Jesus matter more to us than our grievances? There’s only one way to be sure. Love your “Samaritan.”
Reflect & Pray
How can you begin to show love to those who aren’t very loving? When have you been loving to a difficult person and then found them softening?
Father, may the waves of Your love crash over me, producing a torrent that streams to others through me.
It is raining cats and dogs this morning!
What happened to sunny and 90?
Weather forecast missed by a mile.
🙃
90 can still happen later I guess.
🙄
See y’all after work!
Were you hoping for rain, or is this just an annoyance?
It’s either too much or not enough.
Truly inspiring! Thank you.
Enjoy the rain and the day! Hope it doesn’t reach 90. It would be very steamy!
