Oh yes indeed! We walked to our favorite spot on the bridge, then ventured into the the woods, up the hill to look out over the pond.

Then we walked back...about four miles altogethr.

Thankful for Monday

Read: Ecclesiastes 2:17–25

A person can do nothing better than to . . . find satisfaction in their own toil. Ecclesiastes 2:24

I used to dread Mondays. Sometimes, when I got off the train to head to a previous job, I’d sit at the station for a while, trying to delay reaching the building, if only for a few minutes. My heart would beat fast as I worried over meeting the deadlines and managing the moods of a temperamental boss.

For some of us, it can be especially difficult to start another dreary workweek. We may be feeling overwhelmed or underappreciated in our job. King Solomon described the toil of work when he wrote: “What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun? All their days their work is grief and pain” (Ecclesiastes 2:22–23).

While the wise king didn’t give us a cure-all for making work less stressful or more rewarding, he did offer us a change in perspective. No matter how difficult our work is, he encourages us to “find satisfaction” in it with God’s help (v. 24). Perhaps it will come as the Holy Spirit enables us to display Christlike character. Or as we hear from someone who’s been blessed through our service. Or as we remember the wisdom God provided to deal with a difficult situation. Though our work may be difficult, our faithful God is there with us. His presence and power can light up even gloomy days. With His help, we can be thankful for Monday. — Poh Fang Chia

What gives you the Monday blues? How will you lean on God’s help to find satisfaction in your work today?

Faithful God, help me to see the good You’re enabling me to accomplish through my work today!

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...any improvement in your weather?

I sure hope so.

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOW! You and Tippy are really hitting the trail. Have you ventured on any new trails?

[radu]

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

[Kathy in Alaska]

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

Got all your ducks in a row for the new week?

I’m working on it.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Cold, cold, cold up there today! A plus is the wind isn’t still roaring like it was yesterday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...all recovered from the weekend?

It was zero when I got up, has made it to 16 and is now on the way back down.

[radu]

Since I wasn’t busy with tours this weekend, the only recovery needed was from my schedule being flipped around. LOL

I figured it must have dropped to close to zero overnight because at 9:30 this morning, it was only 7 degrees. BRRRRRRR

We got up to the upper 60s this afternoon. Not too bad, especially with no wind. Very pleasant when I made a quick run to the store.

[Kathy in Alaska]

ML!!

3rd!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Nice...any chance for rain this week?

[radu]

I was surprised to see we got a tenth of an inch while I slept today and the next chance is Friday, though chances are small. That comes with a cold front that will make the weekend a little uncomfortable for the Veterans Day parades that are planned. Saturday and Sunday will be around 50, with wind Saturday and a stiff breeze Sunday. Some of the museum’s vehicles will be in the parades both days, carrying veterans. I’ll miss the Saturday parade since I’ll be working but am going to the one Sunday.
