Yo, luvie...I don’t hardly cook at all and I used radu’s instructions and it was magnificent!!! 😎

[luvie]

We didn’t dine out today. Our favorite go-to cafeteria is closed forever. Sigh. Did you eat out? We had a ham, mac’n’cheese and green beans. Some friends brought by some of their yummy dressing and deviled eggs. The snow sounds lovely, but I think I want you to keep it. LOL! Hope you’re resting and relaxing!

[luvie]

Well, that gives me hope! LOL!

[luvie]

That looks delish! We were going to have sweet taters but they were bad so we had the mac’n’cheese instead. Way easier. LOL!

Mighty Warrior

Read: Judges 6:11–16

The Lord is with you, mighty warrior. Judges 6:12

Diet Eman was an ordinary, shy young woman in the Netherlands—in love, working, and enjoying time with family and friends—when the Germans invaded in 1940. As Diet (pronounced Deet) later wrote, “When there is danger on your doorstep, you want to act almost like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.” Yet Diet felt God calling her to resist the German oppressors, which included risking her life to find hiding places for Jews and other pursued people. This unassuming young woman became a warrior for God.

We find many stories in the Bible similar to Diet’s, stories of God using seemingly unlikely characters to serve Him. For instance, when the angel of the Lord approached Gideon, he proclaimed, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior” (Judges 6:12). Yet Gideon seemed anything but mighty. He’d been secretly threshing wheat away from the prying eyes of the Midianites, who oppressively controlled Israel at the time (vv. 1–6, 11). He was from the weakest clan of Israel (Manasseh) and the “least” in his family (v. 15). He didn’t feel up to God’s calling and even requested several signs. Yet God used him to defeat the cruel Midianites (see ch. 7).

God saw Gideon as “mighty.” And just as God was with and equipped Gideon, so He’s with us, His “dearly loved children” (Ephesians 5:1)—supplying all we need to live for and serve Him in little and big ways. — Alyson Kieda

Who are some other Bible characters God used despite their weakness to accomplish much for Him? How has God moved you outside your comfort zone to serve Him?

God, I’m so thankful You don’t see me as I see myself. Help me to see myself as Your dearly loved child capable of doing big and small things in service to You.

Bible in a year: Ezekiel 27–29; 1 Peter 3

It IS easy, isn’t it?
Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

[radu]

Your snow IS pretty to watch ..... online from many, many miles away. LOL

I hope it stops by tomorrow night. They’ll light up the Mountain Star sometime tomorrow. The Aviation Museum already has their Christmas tree set up and lit outside the restoration hangar. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas up there.

Did a lot of ducks drop by for Thanksgiving dinner this evening?

[luvie]

I’m gaining incentive to try it. LOL! What’s not to like. Coke is my drink of choice, and who doesn’t like a good pot roast!

[radu]

Try it! You’ll LIKE it! LOL

It’s one of Hubby’s favorites. Just did one a few days ago.

[Kathy in Alaska]
