It is a true yellow, for sure. It’s a cool little plant. We have 2 of them.

Sweet dreams! Hope spring has finally arrived. I noticed on webcams that northern MN was having a blizzard this afternoon. I was shocked!

We had a few snowflakes this morning and rain after that. More snow is in the forecast but it will be too warm to stick around long. 😅

April 8

Permanent Address

Bible in a Year:

One thing I ask from the Lord . . . that I may dwell in the house of the Lord.

Psalm 27:4

Not long ago we moved to a new home just a short distance from our old one. Despite the close proximity, we still needed to load all of our belongings onto a moving truck because of the timing of the financial transactions. Between the sale and purchase, our furnishings stayed on the truck and our family found temporary lodging. During that time, I was surprised to discover how “at home” I felt despite the displacement from our physical home—simply because I was with those I love most: my family.

For part of his life, David lacked a physical home. He lived life on the run from King Saul. As David was God’s appointed successor to the throne, Saul perceived him as a threat and sought to kill him. David fled his home and slept wherever he found shelter. Though he had companions with him, David’s most earnest desire was to “dwell in the house of the Lord”—to enjoy permanent fellowship with Him (Psalm 27:4).

Jesus is our constant companion, our sense of “home” no matter where we are. He’s with us in our present troubles and even prepares a place for us to live with Him forever (John 14:3). Despite the uncertainty and change we might experience as citizens of this earth, we can dwell permanently in our fellowship with Him every day and everywhere. Reflect & Pray

When have you felt most at home in God’s presence? How can you know that Jesus is your constant companion and that He’s always with you regardless of where you are and what you’re going through?

Loving God, I thank You for being my permanent address. Help me to recognize You as my most faithful companion who’s with me wherever I go.

Howdy! We had snow all day here! Just flurries, no accumulation, but cold and windy with pesky cold white stuff flying around all day. An impressive snow squall around 6pm. ❄️❄️❄️

Just checked the 7 day forecast, especially the night time lows, and might wait another week to start heating my hobby size greenhouse. Also looks cloudy and rainy all next week, not good for germinating seeds.

We had very little snow this winter, but frequent snow in March and April.
Go Figure. 🙃

Hope y’all had a good day, and have a good evening too.

🌙💫⭐️🌟✨
Nite Nite

What a crazy week this has been for you. I know you’re frustrated not to get to start gardening. Fingers crossed that next week is warmer.

I just want rain. And not getting any in forever [since last August!]

We sure have enough rain/snow to have good growing conditions this spring. My relatives in Arizona and Colorado always say they need rain.

They’re probably in the same drought conditions that we are. Our water bills are going to rival the national debt this year. LOL!

Chatty Bus
Read: Colossians 4:2–6

Let your conversation be always full of grace. Colossians 4:6

In 2019, the Oxford Bus Company launched the instantly popular “Chatty Bus,” a bus with designated people on board willing to talk with interested passengers. The route was initiated in response to government research which found that 30 percent of Britons go at least one day each week without a meaningful conversation.

Many of us have likely experienced the loneliness that comes from not having someone to talk to in a time of need. As I reflect on the value of important conversations in my life, I’m especially reminded of discussions that were full of grace. Those times brought me joy and encouragement, and they helped to cultivate deeper relationships.

At the end of his letter to the Colossian church, Paul encouraged his readers with principles of authentic living for believers in Jesus, including ways our conversations can exhibit love to everyone we encounter. The apostle wrote, “Let your conversation be always full of grace” (4:6), reminding his readers that it is not simply the presence of words but the quality of those words—“full of grace”—that would allow them to be a true encouragement to others.

The next time you have the opportunity to connect deeply in conversation—with a friend, co-worker, or even a stranger seated next to you on a bus or in a waiting room—look for ways your time together might bring blessing into both of your lives.Lisa M. Samra

When have you experienced the blessing of grace-filled words? How might you extend encouragement to someone today through what you say?

Heavenly Father, help me to be a blessing to everyone I speak with today, filling these conversations with Your grace.

Bible in a year: 1 Samuel 13–14; Luke 10:1–24
