Looks like the troops have been busy lately. Lots of work and training.
7 degrees here last night. I can’t wait till I am complaining it is too hot.

December 17Leave a Little Behind
Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you.
Leviticus 23:22 Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and occasionally a half-dollar. That’s what you’d find on the nightstand beside his bed. He’d empty his pockets each evening and leave the contents there, for he knew eventually they’d come to visit—
they being his grandchildren. Over the years the kids learned to visit his nightstand as soon as they arrived. He could have put all that spare change in a coin bank or even stored it away in a savings account. But he didn’t. He delighted in leaving it there for the little ones, the precious guests in his home.
A similar mindset is what’s expressed in Leviticus 23 when it comes to bringing in the harvest from the land. God, via Moses, told the people something quite counterintuitive: not to “reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest” (v. 22). Essentially, He said, “Leave a little behind.” This instruction reminded the people that God was behind the harvest in the first place, and that He used His people to provide for those of little account (the strangers in the land).
Such thinking is definitely not the norm in our world. But it’s exactly the kind of mindset that will characterize the grateful sons and daughters of God. He delights in a generous heart. And that often comes through you and me.
Reflect & Pray
What’s your first reaction to the thought of “leaving a little behind”? What’s one way you could practice such thankful generosity toward the poor or the strangers in your life?
Loving God, thank You for Your provision in my life. Give me eyes to see ways in which I can share with others, especially those poor and in need.

Our weather has been cold but we're in for a warming spell.
We usually have a White Christmas but it doesn't look like it'll happen this year.
You still have lots of the white stuff?

Everything is still white...about 4” in the last 24 hours. I need to shovel my deck in a bit.

Howdy, Kathy.
Those extra blankets might come in handy the next couple of days. LOL Thankfully the cold air came in behind the rain this afternoon so we were spared snow, but it’s going to be plenty cold tonight through tomorrow night.
How much snow did you get yesterday?

Yes! GIANT spikies!! Are yours ready if needed?
I had to get mine out a month ago...freeze, thaw, freeze cycle, and my deck was ice, as was the path to my mailbox.

Howdy, Mayor.
It looks like you’re going to be lucky this round, missing out on the brunt of the storm up there. Bet you’re happy about that! What a mess.
