Military Kids Planting Trees!

Event-goers stop for a group photo April 30, 2021, during the installation Arbor Day ceremony and tree planting on the cantonment area at Fort McCoy, Wis. According to history.com, the origins of Arbor Day dates back to the early 1870s in Nebraska City, Neb. A journalist by the name of Julius Sterling Morton moved to the state with his wife, Caroline, in 1854. On Jan. 7, 1872, Morton proposed a day that would encourage all Nebraskans to plant trees in their community. An agriculture board agreed, and Arbor Day was born. The first Arbor Day was held April 10, 1872. (Photo by Deana Caswell/U.S. Army Reserve Pay Office)

Really Alive

Read: Revelation 21:1–7

There will be no more death. Revelation 21:4

Since it was the week after Easter, our five-year-old son, Wyatt, had heard plenty of resurrection talk. He always had questions—usually real stumpers. I was driving, and he was buckled into his seat behind me. Wyatt peered out the window, deep in thought. “Daddy,” he said, pausing and preparing to ask me a tough one. “When Jesus brings us back to life, are we going to be really alive—or just alive in our heads?”

This is the question so many of us carry, whether or not we have the courage to speak it aloud. Is God really going to heal us? Is He really going to raise us from the dead? Is He really going to keep all His promises?

The apostle John describes our certain future as “a new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1). In that holy city, “God himself will be with [us] and be [our] God” (v. 3). Because of Christ’s victory, we’re promised a future where there’s no more tears, no evil arrayed against God and His people. In this good future, “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” (v. 4).

In other words, in the future God promises, we’ll be really alive. We’ll be so alive that our life now will seem a mere shadow. — Winn Collier

Where do you experience death in your life? If God promises that death is doomed and we’re going to really live, how does this renew your hope?

God, You said death will meet its end and You promise me genuine life. Thank You.

Bible in a year: 2 Samuel 12–13; Luke 16

What a Week!

[Kathy in Alaska]

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

We made it through hump day!! I need a nap.

Is your mixer gonna make it to the done projects this week?

Packed for your trip?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[luvie]

Always remember them
and THANK them for what they do
to keep us safe and free!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Ready for a good night’s sleep tonight?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...hope your hangin’ days are all filled with nice weather.

The sun is finally coming out today here.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Got the AC crankin’? I reckon you haven’t spent any time sitting on the patio with the kitties this evening.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman...are you ready for Easter services?

Is your church back to full services and congregation?

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

Oh, heck no I’m not out there. It’s still 84 degrees and feels hotter on the patio because the evening sun heated up the bricks on the house...just like an outdoor oven. LOL!

How’re things there? Were you able to breathe today?

[lightman]

Very full...this week has looked like 2019 redux....maybe even fuller.

Forced absence made the heart grow fonder.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...has planting started? Do you know what crop is going in?

The sun only came out here about an hour ago.

[radu]

Ugh! Your current temp is about what our high will be Friday and Saturday and that’s plenty toasty.

Not too bad today other than it was too windy. Pollen flying everywhere plus Hubby mowed. Breathe today? LOL

Just got off the phone with Boss Man’s mom who called to tell me I need to be at the museum an hour early Friday. Boss Man wants her and me there so he can take us through to show us the new things and explain what they are. We need to know so we can do our jobs. I WILL have fresh batteries in the camera so I can video to play back later to study. I won’t remember a thing he says as tired as I’ll be. LOL

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOOHOO!!! Congratulations, Tippy, on your new home and new Mom!!

And Blue is home, too? Hot time at your place tonight!! ((HUGS))
