Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
Hi everybody!
(((HUGS)))
A rarity, for sure. LOL
Howdy, lauren.
How’s it goin’ over your way? It’s mighty soggy over here.
Happy Monday....enjoying the relative calm before the storm.
Ida passes just south of here Wednesday night.
Goin’ good here, thanks!
I can imagine you are getting alot of rain. Not a drop in sight here and none coming. Can’t wait for the Fall to get here!
Take care and stay safe radu!
Good evening lightman!
You take care and stay safe.
Thanks.
Historically the “I” named storms have been nasty for us, but this time we are on the 9 to 12 o’clock side meaning less wind and more rain.
With 18 months of rainfall deficit and a well every drop will be appreciated!
A stately sunflower stood on its own in the center of a lonely stretch of national highway, just a few feet from the fast lane. As I drove past, I wondered how it had grown there with no other sunflowers visible for miles. Only God could create a plant so hardy it could thrive so close to the roadway in the gray gravel lining the median. There it was, thriving, swaying gently in the breeze and cheerfully greeting travelers as they hurried by.
The Old Testament tells the story of a faithful king of Judah who also showed up unexpectedly. His father and grandfather had enthusiastically served other gods; but after Josiah had been in power for eight years, “while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David” (2 Chronicles 34:3). He sent workmen to “repair the temple of the Lord” (v. 8), and as they did they discovered the Book of the Law (the first five books of the Old Testament; v. 14). God then inspired Josiah to lead the entire nation of Judah to return to the faith of their ancestors, and they served the Lord “as long as [Josiah] lived” (v. 33).
Our God is the master of unanticipated mercies. He’s able to cause great good to spring up unexpectedly out of the hard gravel of life’s most unfavorable circumstances. Watch Him closely. He may do it again today.
Reflect & Pray
What mercies have you seen from God that you never anticipated? How does the thought that He’s able to bring about unexpected good give you hope today?
Heavenly Father, I praise You for never changing. Your mercies are “new every morning!” (Lamentations 3:23). Help me to look forward to what You have for me today.
Hope you get just what you need!
Know all about that appreciated drop of rain.
Good evening and thank you Mayor!
Good to hear things are going well.
Yes, it started raining this afternoon and won’t stop until Wed. morning, they say.
I think Ida sucked up all the moisture to dump over here. Sure wish we could share some of it!
