Good evening Kathy and all troops and veterans. Thank you for your service.

AZ.....my desk almost looked like that, but this past weekend I actually cleaned it up and you can now see the top of the desk. d:o)

[luvie]

LOL! You guys did it so differently that it was wonderful to have them both!

I don't make resolutions, but you sure gave us plenty of choices if one needed them.

The reason why I don't is that way back when I did....I never kept them. It was like I lied to myself! LOL! So.....

Our Dwelling Place

READ: Genesis 12:1-8

By faith Abraham obeyed . . . . And he went out, not knowing where he was going. —Hebrews 11:8

When Abraham was 75 years old, God called him to leave the land of his father. And so, advanced in years, he departed for the land of Canaan. He was rootless, homeless, "not knowing where he was going" (Heb. 11:8). That was the story of Abraham’s life.

Age brings change and uncertainty. It means transition from a familiar past to an uncertain future. It can mean movement from a family home to a smaller place, to a daughter’s home, to a retirement village, to a nursing home—the "final resort." Like Abraham, some of us make our way from one location to another, always traveling and not knowing where we’re going.

Yet we can be at home in any dwelling, for our safekeeping lies not in the place where we live but in God Himself. We can dwell "in the secret place of the Most High" and "abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Ps. 91:1). There, in His presence, under His wings, we find refuge (v.4). The eternal God becomes our dwelling place (v.9).

Though our dwelling place here on earth may be uncertain, God will be our companion and friend until our traveling days are over and we reach our heart’s true home—heaven. Until that day, let’s shed the light of God’s lovingkindness on other travelers. 

Someday my earthly house will fall—
I cannot tell how soon ’twill be;
But this I know—my All in All
Has now a place in heaven for me. —Crosby

For the Christian, heaven is spelled H-O-M-E.

Bible in One Year:  Genesis 10-12; Matthew 4

I resolve to make all my resolutions as firm and steadfast, as fair and unbiased, as noble as those of the United Nations!

I guess that let's me off the hook.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And good evening to you too, Aeronaut. Hope you've gotten some rest. And thanks to you for your service to our country.
