I love thrift stores! :-)
It was fun to look. Only spent $3. One store has 4 greeting cards for $1, so I always get 4. Then I found a new, in the factory packaging, Oneida turkey baster for $1.99. This will come in handy on Thanksgiving, or sooner.
I keep looking for cookie cooling racks and deep dish pie pans but never find them.
I’m glad you had a chance to get out...especially to go to the thrift stores. Fun indeed!
Good Morning!
Got some snow overnight. Just a nice covering over the grass.
Looks pretty.
😊
Have a nice Sunday

Bible in a Year:
He reached down from on high and took hold of me.
In a recent post, blogger Bonnie Gray recounted the moment when overwhelming sadness began to creep into her heart. “Out of the blue,” she stated, “during the happiest chapter in my life, . . . I suddenly started experiencing panic attacks and depression.” Gray tried to find different ways to address her pain, but she soon realized that she wasn’t strong enough to handle it alone. “I hadn’t wanted anyone to question my faith, so I kept quiet and prayed that my depression would go away. But God wants to heal us, not shame us or make us hide from our pain.” Gray found healing in the solace of His presence; He was her anchor amid the waves that threatened to overwhelm her.
When we’re in a low place and filled with despair, God is there and will sustain us too. In Psalm 18, David praised God for delivering him from the low place he was in after nearly being defeated by his enemies. He proclaimed, “[God] reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters” (v. 16). Even in moments when despair seems to consume us like crashing waves in an ocean, God loves us so much that He’ll reach out to us and help us, bringing us into a “spacious place” of peace and security (v. 19). Let’s look to Him as our refuge when we feel overwhelmed by the challenges of life.
We are watching a football game, and it is snowing a lot in Buffalo NY.
Big flakes.
❄️❄️❄️
Big flakes, hopefully, will mean light, fluffy snow....
I hope, I hope, I hope.
Good Night, Friends
💫⭐️🌟🌙✨
Good night. Sleep well!
Bible in a Year:
Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.
“They call me ‘the ringmaster.’ So far this year I’ve found 167 lost rings.”
During a walk on the beach with my wife, Cari, we struck up a conversation with an older man who was using a metal detector to scan an area just below the surf line. “Sometimes rings have names on them,” he explained, “and I love seeing their owners’ faces when I return them. I post online and check to see if anyone contacted lost and found. I’ve found rings missing for years.” When we mentioned that I enjoy metal detecting as well but didn’t do it frequently, his parting words were, “You never know unless you go!”
We find another kind of “search and rescue” in Luke 15. Jesus was criticized for caring about people who were far from God (vv. 1–2). In reply, He told three stories about things that were lost and then found—a sheep, a coin, and a son. The man who finds the lost sheep “joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me’ ” (vv. 5–6). All the stories are ultimately about finding lost people for Christ, and the joy that comes as they’re found in Him.
Jesus came “to seek and to save the lost” (19:10), and He calls us to follow Him in loving people back to God (see Matthew 28:19). The joy of seeing others turn to Him awaits. We’ll never know unless we go.

Ha ha! We had a doberman that could do that. So funny.
😅
It’s quite a funny trick! I’ll bet he was a clown! Did you ever find a new pup that you and your hubby could agree on?
I didn’t even notice a typo.
That was a funny one though!
Back before I turned off “auto-correct” on my phone, it would often change letters or whole words in my texts. I had to proof read a few times before sending.
The last straw was when I was texting my pastor, and auto-correct changed some words. I caught the mistake in time.
That was when I turned off auto-correct.
