Hello, Kathy,
I just sent you a private reply I said I would post. A memory recalled because of last night’s song about those who also serve. It’ll give you a chuckle.

The Love of God
Great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Psalm 57:10
In 1917, Frederick Lehman, a California businessman beset by financial setbacks, wrote the lyrics to the hymn, “The Love of God.” His inspiration led him quickly to pen the first two stanzas, but he got stuck on the third. He recalled a poem that had been discovered years earlier, written on the walls of a prison. A prisoner had scratched it there into the stone, expressing a deep awareness of God’s love. The poem happened to be in the same meter as Lehman’s hymn. He made it his third stanza.
There are times when we face difficult setbacks as did Lehman and the poet in the prison cell. In times of despair, we do well to echo the psalmist David’s words and “take refuge in the shadow of [God’s] wings” (Psalm 57:1). It’s okay to “cry out to God” with our troubles (v. 2), to speak to Him of our current ordeal and the fears we have when “in the midst of lions” (v. 4). We’re soon reminded of the reality of God’s provision in times past, and join David who says, “I will sing and make music. . . . I will awaken the dawn” (vv. 7–8).
“The love of God is greater far,” this hymn proclaims, adding “it goes beyond the highest star.” It’s precisely in our time of greatest need when we’re to embrace how great God’s love really is—indeed “reaching to the heavens” (v. 10). — Kenneth Petersen
What are the difficulties you face today? How has God provided for you in times past?
Loving God, I am facing difficult matters, but I am reminded of Your love for me and Your provision throughout my life. Thank You.

It’s been rainy, so we are just doing our three miles and heading home without too much rxploring.
It is starting to feel like November now, after a few really nice balmy weeks.

Howdy, Kathy.
What a difference 24 hours makes. Almost all the snow is gone up there. Amazing what a little rain will do. Now everything is just sloppy wet.

Hey there, radu!
He sure was a brave hero. Of course, he fought for the wrong “team”. LOL! Just kidding. But I am a southron!
It was a good day, but reeeeally hard to get up this morning. Although I got up before the alarm it’s because I was shocked that it was daylight and thought I had slept through it. LOL! Turns out it was early AND I’d forgotten to even set the alarm. Ugh. But I had a great nap this afternoon.
Hope things are good there. Still pretty cold I’m seeing! Actually colder than Anchorage right now. Yikes!
