Good evening ASOC!

Howdy, lauren. *Hugz*

Did you have a chance to have a little fun while you were off to work that big event?

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I see you’ve gotten more snow today. Looks like the plow guys are going to stay busy a while longer. Nice that you don’t have to get out to dodge the crazies in that mess.

[laurenmarlowe]

Slid right into the next one, LOL!

Christmas Parade in two weeks, and it will be great fun. A long horse show for three weeks, and then off mid December for a whole month. YAY!

I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Hope you have a great week.

[luvie]

Great Road Trip, lauren.
We need those winter coats, though!🥶

[laurenmarlowe]

Howdy howdy luvie!

Yep, winter coats a must.

Not quite like here where we are in shorts and flip-flops, LOL!

Destruction Destroyed

Bible in a Year:

• Jeremiah 40–42
• Hebrews 4

The Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

Genesis 3:9

“The baby birds will fly tomorrow!” My wife, Cari, was elated about the progress a family of wrens was making in a hanging basket on our front porch. She’d watched them daily, taking pictures as the mother brought food to the nest.

Cari got up early the next morning to look in on them. She moved some of the greenery aside covering the nest but instead of seeing baby birds, the narrow eyes of a serpent met hers. The snake had scaled a vertical wall, slithered into the nest, and devoured them all.

Cari was heartbroken and angry. I was out of town, so she called a friend to remove the snake. But the damage was done.

Scripture tells of another serpent who left destruction in his path. The serpent in the garden of Eden deceived Eve about the tree God had warned her against eating from: “You will not certainly die,” he lied, “for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:4–5).

Sin and death entered the world as a result of Eve and Adam’s disobedience to God, and the deception wrought by “that ancient serpent, who is the devil” continues (Revelation 20:2). But Jesus came “to destroy the devil’s work” (1 John 3:8), and through Him we’re restored to relationship with God. One day, He’ll make “everything new” (Revelation 21:5). .

Reflect & Pray

How has Jesus destroyed the devil’s work in your heart and life? What do you look forward to in Him?

Please deliver me, Jesus, from the devil’s deception. Saving God, give me grace to live for You!

[luvie]

Hey lauren! I still think we need to make this road trip...coat and all. LOL!

I’m not amused at the nearly 90-degree weather we’re having this week. It ain’t natural! LOL!

You have a great week, too....and don’t work TOO hard! (((hugs)))

Some things never change. LOL

A Christmas parade in two weeks? That’s a little early, isn’t it?

Mid-December isn’t far off, especially the way time flies. Yay for a month off!
