Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[mountainlion]

Cats are quite a bit bigger here, Mountain lions and such. They do not like dogs so they tend to stay away which is a good thing.

Been warm so the snow is gone. According to the calendar the days will start getting shorter soon.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...was today a Penny and Blue Day?

Hiking and riding?

We have had mostly sun and blue sky today. I even sat out on the deck for 30 minutes between chores. It was loverly.

[left that other site]

Even though it was lovely out, we didn’t do too much. We did, however, go for a little ride in the car. Since March 15th, I have only gone 95 miles in my car. I used to do that every day!

I burned a whole tank of gas on Blue yesterday. Time to fill up again for another voyage to nowhere. LOL.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ETR, and thank you for this link...I started watching and will continue a little later.

Any openings starting in your area?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey…((HUGS))...hope things will start opening soon. Maybe you will be able to fly the parachute folks in the near future.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Blue must have been happy to stretch her tires.

And Penny got to go for a car ride.

I am having to make the effort to remember to start my car every couple days and to also take a drive just to keep her in shape. I’ve already had 2 dead batteries near the start of the mess because I forgot about driving.

The Gift of Peace

Bible in a Year:

• 1 Chronicles 4–6
• John 6:1–21

You may now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation.

Luke 2:29–30

“I believe in Jesus and He is my Savior, and I have no fear of death,” said Barbara Bush, the wife of former US President George H. W. Bush, to her son before she died. This incredible and confident statement suggests a strong and deep-rooted faith. She experienced God’s gift of peace that comes from knowing Jesus, even when faced with death.

Simeon, a resident of Jerusalem during the first century, also experienced profound peace because of Jesus. Moved by the Holy Spirit, Simeon went to the temple when Mary and Joseph brought baby Jesus to be circumcised as required by the law for a newborn boy. Although not much is known about Simeon, from Luke’s description one can tell he was a special man of God, just and devout, waiting faithfully for the coming Messiah, and “the Holy Spirit was on him” (Luke 2:25). Yet Simeon did not experience shalom (peace), a deep sense of completeness, until he saw Jesus.

While holding Jesus in his arms, Simeon broke into a song of praise, expressing full satisfaction in God: “You may now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all nations” (vv. 29–31). He had peace because he foresaw the future hope of the whole world.

As we celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the promised Savior, may we rejoice in God’s gift of peace.

Reflect & Pray

Have you experienced this deep sense of satisfaction and completeness that comes from knowing Jesus? How can you celebrate God’s gift of peace today?

Dear Father, thank You for Jesus, Your gift of peace.

Good evening, mountainlion….they would be wise to stay away from the dogs. Hope you are enjoying the sunshine.

Today was my first day to water the cleaned up yards. And I sat out of the deck for a bit in the sunshine.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Ready to take on the new week?

[SkyDancer]

Hai! (((HUGS))) Yeah, hopefully soon.
