Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Hi Kathy, thanks for honoring tonight’s Hero!
Thank you for keeping their memory and heroism before us!
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you get some ice melting today?
You and Tippy be really careful when you venture out.
Mostly sun and blue sky today...what a change.
Bible in a Year:
All the widows stood around [Peter], crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made.
In the last few days of my dad’s life, one of the nurses dropped by his room and asked me if she could give him a shave. As Rachel gently pulled the razor across his face, she explained, “Older men of his generation like to have a neat shave every day.” Rachel had seen a need and acted on her instinct to show kindness, dignity, and respect to someone. The tender care she provided reminded me of my friend Julie who still paints her elderly mother’s nails because it’s important to her mom that she “look pretty.”
Acts 9 tells us about a disciple named Dorcas (also known as Tabitha) who showed kindness by providing handmade clothing for the poor (vv. 36, 39). When she died, her room was filled with friends who tearfully mourned this kind woman who loved helping others.
But Dorcas’ story didn’t end there. When Peter was brought to where her body lay, he knelt and prayed. In God’s power, he called her by name, saying, “Tabitha, get up” (v. 40). Amazingly, Dorcas opened her eyes and rose to her feet. When her friends realized she was alive, word spread quickly through the town and “many people believed in the Lord” (v. 42).
And how did Dorcas spend the next day of her life? Probably exactly as she had before—seeing the needs of people and filling them.
Reflect & Pray
Whom do you know that always seems to find ways to help others? What can you do to become more aware of others’ needs?
Father, open my eyes each day to see the hurting and needy people around me. Open my heart to do what I can to show them what God’s love looks like.
It’s still very cold, but the sunshine melted most of the ice.
February isn’t even over yet...and we still have to get through Match.

Thanks for, Pro...any warm up for you.
We’ve had sun most all day...what a change.
It’s still winter weather here but sunny which makes it bearable. You have lots of snow?
Good evening, lightman...so important that they be remembered. Their sacrifice for our America was enormous!
We had SUN today!
The pile in the middle of the cul-de-sac is at least 20' tall. The city has no place left to take it.
Hiya, Janey...((HUGS))...enjoying being home? Nice weather finally arrived, or still stormy?
Flights upcoming?
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Hope you got some good rest and are ready to take on the new week.
OK...that was funny, even if the Admiral didn’t approve. Thanks, K.
Good evening, radu...hope you got some drying time today before more rain shows up.
We had a sunny day and I’m betting Rondy goers had a great day. Now it’s headed to below zero.
