Thanks Kathy!
81 degrees and light rain, nice day. Everything is green and not white.
Bible in a Year : Job 2021; Acts 10:2448
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? James 2:14
Thomas knew what he needed to do. Having been born to a poor family in India and adopted by Americans, upon a return trip to India he witnessed the dire needs of the children in his hometown. So he knew he had to help. He began making plans to return to the US, finish his education, save a lot of money, and come back in the future.
Then, after reading James 2:1418 in which James asks, What good is it . . . if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Thomas heard a little girl in his native country cry out to her mother: But Mommy, Im hungry now! He was reminded of the times he had been intensely hungry as a childsearching through trash cans for food. Thomas knew he couldnt wait years to help. He decided, Ill start now!
Today the orphanage he began houses fifty well-fed and cared-for children who are learning about Jesus and getting an educationall because one man didnt put off what he knew God was asking him to do.
Jamess message applies to us as well. Our faith in Jesus Christ provides us with great advantagesa relationship with Him, an abundant life, and a future hope. But what good is it doing anyone else if we dont reach out and help those in need? Can you hear the cry: Im hungry now?
What needs around you touch your heart? Whats one thing you can do to help otherseven if it seems insignificant?
Direct my steps, O God, toward the actions You want me to take to help someone in need. Thank You for allowing me to be a part of Your work on earth.

I hope the wind has shifted so y’all can have a break from the smoke. I keep checking the radar in hopes of seeing rain at the park but nothing significant so far. :-(

drop much needed rain on the homestead.
Of course, the old dog didn't care too much for it.
Today will be a bit cooler than the last week.

But I'm going to put him to work with honey-dos.
Gonna get ready for our day.
But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
