We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...hope you are enjoying your spring.
The snow in my front yard will be gone in days, and the only snow left in the back is the PILE shoveled off the roof.
Good evening, Pro...our troops are multi-talented.
Hai Kathy! (((HUGS))) Snow? Still? Wow. It was 76f here today and will be almost 90 by this weekend, then it’ll slow down.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...has Blue been able to stretch her legs yet? What does Tippy think of her?
Tippy isn’t afraid of Blue, but has no use for a motorcycle.
The weather is gorgeous, and i have to get an inspection sticker, so tomorrow might be a nice morning for a ride. :-)
Bible in a Year:
Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
Sometimes, living with chronic pain and fatigue leads to being isolated at home and feeling alone. I’ve often felt unseen by God and others. During an early morning prayer-walk with my service dog, I struggled with these feelings. I noticed a hot-air balloon in the distance. The people in its basket could enjoy a bird’s-eye view of our quiet neighborhood, but they couldn’t really see me. As I continued walking past my neighbors’ houses, I sighed. How many people behind those closed doors feel unseen and insignificant? As I finished my walk, I asked God to give me opportunities to let my neighbors know that I see them and care for them, and so does He.
God determined the exact number of stars that He spoke into existence. He identified each star with a name (Psalm 147:4), an intimate act that demonstrates His attention to the smallest details. His strength—insight, discernment, and knowledge—have “no limit” in the past, present, or future (v. 5).
God hears each desperate cry and sees each silent tear as clearly as He notices each sigh of contentment and belly laugh. He sees when we’re stumbling and when we’re standing in triumph. He understands our deepest fears, our innermost thoughts, and our wildest dreams. He knows where we’ve been and where we’re going. As God helps us see, hear, and love our neighbors, we can trust Him to see, understand, and care for us.
Reflect & Pray
How have your neighbors loved you? How can you love others today?
God, please help me see, hear, and love others in practical ways.

Stay cool! We had a HUGE amount of snow this year....and it melts slowly. LOL!
Sounds like a good plan...a nice morning ride to get an inspection sticker. Enjoy!
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
It’s hump day! We made it!!
Wow! First time in a long time. Thank you Kathy!😇
