Evening, Kathy!
Woohoo, am I in the Top 10?
👍🛩. Yup! Uncle flew before and after.
You did it again...1st! Did you have a wonderful Hanukkah?
We just had another 6” of snow overnight, temps today in the mid-30s, wind knocking all the flocking off the trees, and the melting will be ice by morning. Not a terrific weather day.
Thanks and Merry Christmas, Kathy and thanks for another great story about the Berlin Airlift!
Those pilots did something special.
He did. Of course “Army Air Corps” obviously then Air Force with my aunt also from AAC.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
The Berlin Airlift was an amazing accomplishment by the pilots and all involved in the mission. A major gift of giving.
Howdy, Kathy.
Did you get around to working on your path - AGAIN - to the mailbox yet? Darn that snow last night!

Good evening, Pro...and we wind up another year of remembering the Berlin Airlift.
Good evening, radu...an amazing accomplishment for sure. This needs to be done, and now. Plan it and execute. And THEY did!!
Hope you got some of that much needed rain.
Yes, we got some rain, finally, but I don’t know how much. I always bring the rain gauge in when it’s going to drop below freezing and I did that last weekend. Then I forgot to put it back out yesterday. *sigh* It was very light rain so my guess is between .1 and .2s.
I’ll put it out again later this week when it warms up so it’ll be in place for the rain they predict next weekend.
LOL! And my dad, our niece, our daughter, our grand daughter, me, brother in law, father in law. And kin back to the revolution and civil war. With the present (b)administration I wouldn’t encourage anyone now. Sad!
Oh yeah. Merry Christmas to all!
Bible in a Year :
The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but . . . present your requests to God.
For more than thirty years, Lourdes, a voice teacher in Manila, had taught students face to face. When she was asked to conduct classes online, she was anxious. “I’m not good with computers,” she recounted. “My laptop is old, and I’m not familiar with video conferencing platforms.”
While it may seem a small thing to some, it was a real stressor for her. “I live alone, so there is no one to help,” she said. “I’m concerned that my students will quit, and I need the income.”
Before each class, Lourdes would pray for her laptop to work properly. “Philippians 4:5–6 was the wallpaper on my screen,” she said. “How I clung to those words.”
Paul exhorts us to not be anxious about anything, because “the Lord is near” (Philippians 4:5). God’s promise of His presence is ours to hold on to. As we rest in His nearness and commit everything to Him in prayer—both big and small—His peace guards our “hearts and . . . minds in Christ Jesus” (v. 7).
“God led me to websites about fixing computer glitches,” Lourdes said. “He also gave me patient students who understood my technological limitations.” God’s presence, help, and peace are ours to enjoy as we seek to follow Him all the days of our life. We can say with confidence: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” (v. 4). .
Reflect & Pray
How can knowing that God is near change your reaction of worry to one of peace? What specific requests can you present to Him?
Dear God, thank You for being near me. Because of Your loving presence, help, and peace, I don’t have to be anxious.
Not yet. Shoveled another good 4” of snow off the deck this morning. Not so fluffy today. Then the temps went into the mid 30s and the wind started blowing. Haven’t looked out since. Been working at my own desk all day and am almost to the last layer. Major accomplishments...LOL! I still have to retrieve yesterday’s mail, so will work on my path then.
