Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how did The Blessing of the Bikes go? Lots of bikers? Did the soloist do well?
When our daughter and her fiancé began receiving wedding presents, it was a happy time. One gift they received was a bench cabinet that had to be assembledand I volunteered for the task because they already had so much to do to prepare for the wedding. Although it took a couple of hours, it was much easier than expected. All of the wooden pieces were precut and predrilled, and all the hardware for assembly was included. The instructions were virtually foolproof.
Unfortunately, most of life isnt that way. Life doesnt carry with it simple instructions, nor do we find all of the necessary parts in hand. We face situations with no clear idea of what were getting into or what it will take to pull it off. We can easily find ourselves overwhelmed with these difficult moments.
But we need not face our burdens alone. God wants us to bring them to Him: Be anxious for nothing, but . . . let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God . . . will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:6-7).
We have a Savior who understands and offers His peace in the midst of our struggles.
Hi Kathy
And a big Hello to One and All!!
:-)
I was faithful to arrive on my bike, and fully planned to go to the Blessing, as I was told it was at noon. Just enough time to get home in time for a lesson.
But then, I was told it would not be till 2:00PM which would have cut into my much needed lesson time(I haven’t worked in two weeks and am flat BROKE!)
So, I played the songs, which were fine, and then went home.
Riding a Harley with a guitar on one’s back is somewhat stressful due to reduced mobility and peripheral vision. I am glad it was only a few miles, and I beat the rain.
The lesson went well...A lovely, vivacious, Asian High School student auditioning for a wicked stepsister in Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella.
It was fun trying to coach this incredibly sweet, polite, gentle-spirited girl, to act like a you-know-what! Ha ha...Her Mom was in the room laughing her head off!

I can never get enough of stories of heroism like this.
When I was at risk during my service - well, I always did my duty, but I tried to stay as safe as I could. Putting yourself at risk ‘above and beyond the call of duty’ takes something very special indeed.
Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...ready for *shudder* Monday?
Will it be a Maddi Monday?
I am not dreading it so much as finally we have a full week.

Thanks, galz, for presenting us with another brave American hero to look up to. We know that all these heroes love their country....and would be devastated to see what has become of her in the last 6-7 years!
We thank you for your service to your country.
