Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Nice hot day today. Tomorrow is Flag day if my assumptions are right. Soon the days will be getting shorter then it will be snowing again.
Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way!
NOOOOOOOOOOO...I’m not ready for snow again!
Good evening, mountainlion....the sun has come and gone all day with a good breeze. It’s chilly when the sun is hiding.
Glad you had a nice hot day. A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.
“I take care of him. When he’s happy, I’m happy,” says Stella. Merle replies, “I’m happy when she’s around.” Merle and Stella have been married for 79 years. When Merle was recently admitted to a nursing home, he was miserable—so Stella gladly brought him home. He’s 101, and she’s 95. Though she needs a walker to get around, she lovingly does what she can for her husband, such as preparing the food he likes. But she couldn’t do it on her own. Grandchildren and neighbors help with the things Stella can’t manage.
Stella and Merle’s life together is an example of Genesis 2, where God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him” (v. 18). None of the creatures God brought before Adam fit that description. Only in Eve, made from the rib of Adam, did Adam find a suitable helper and companion (vv. 19–24).
Eve was the perfect companion for Adam, and through them God instituted marriage. This wasn’t only for the mutual aid of individuals but also to begin a family and to care for creation, which includes other people (1:28). From that first family came a community so that, whether married or single, old or young, none of us would be alone. As a community, God has given us the privilege of sharing “each other’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2).
How is it helpful to know that no matter our marital status, as believers in Jesus we’re never alone? How have you seen the body of Christ in action?
Dear God, thank You for creating man and woman for each other and for instituting community so that none of us are truly alone.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners

If we can’t make assumptions, then what are our intel personnel supposed to do for a living?
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
