Happy Thankful Thursday!
We are expecting a high of 87 degrees today.
Looks great from inside the house!
Ha ha.
Will go out anyway....can’t be that bad.
😅
Got to ride my bike today.
Gassed up and rode around several wealthy New England neighborhoods.
Counted 21 TRUMP signs, 2 Harris signs, and two weasel signs:
one said “MADAME PRESIDENT”
and the other had too many self-righteous virtue-signaling platitudes to read, so I suppose it was implying Harris.
This is in MASSACHUSETTS.
Enjoy it. It will give you good memories when there are 2 feet of snow on the ground. LOL!
I am seeing a lot of Trump signs in the country around here!
Very good to see!
Not too bad in the shade here, got a start on cleaning up the hosta garden
Taking a break, heading back out in a while.
Got a whole wheel barrow of weeds, old oak leaves and tired hosta leaves.
😅

Whooffff...you’ve been a busy gal!
Bible in a Year :
Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
The factories of Victorian England were dark places. Fatalities were high, and workers often lived in poverty. “How can the working man cultivate ideals,” George Cadbury asked, “when his home is a slum?” And so he built a new kind of factory for his expanding chocolate business, one that benefited his workers.
The result was Bournville, a village of more than three hundred homes with sports fields, playgrounds, schools, and churches for Cadbury’s workers and their families. They were paid good wages and offered medical care, all because of Cadbury’s faith in Christ.
Jesus teaches us to pray for God’s will to be done “on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). This prayer can help us imagine, as Cadbury did, what our workplaces would be like under God’s rule, where our “daily bread” is earned and our “debtors” forgiven (vv. 11-12). As employees, it means working with “all your heart . . . for the Lord” (Colossians 3:23). As employers, it means giving staff what’s “right and fair” (4:1). Whatever our role, whether paid or voluntary, it means tending to the well-being of those we serve with.
Like George Cadbury, let’s imagine how things could be different if God were in charge of our neighborhoods and workplaces. Because when He is, people flourish..
Reflect & Pray
What would your workplace or neighborhood look like under God’s rule? How could you pray and work toward this vision?
Loving God, please help me to see what my workplace or neighborhood would look like under Your rule, and empower me to bring change where I can.
