Heavy wind gusts keep turning my computer off. Comes right back on, but my posts are lost.
Here they come again....
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Howdy, Kathy.
I imagine you’re ready for a breather by now.
I also imagine you’re happy the wind has died down at last.
It came here! LOL
Thank those serving.
Honor those who served.
NEVER forget the fallen!
Evening, Kathy!
Bible in a Year :
Clothe yourselves with compassion.
What would it be like to walk in the shoes of royalty? Angela Kelly, the daughter of a dockworker and nurse, knows. She was also the official dresser for the late Queen Elizabeth for the last two decades of the monarch’s life. One of her responsibilities was to break-in the aging Queen’s new shoes by walking in them around the palace grounds. There was a reason for it: compassion for an elderly woman who sometimes was required to stand for extended periods at ceremonies. Because they wore the same shoe size, Kelly was able to save her some discomfort.
Kelly’s personal touch in her care for Queen Elizabeth makes me think of Paul’s warm encouragement to the church in Colossae (an area in modern Turkey): “clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience” (Colossians 3:12). When our lives are “built on” Jesus (2:7 nlt), we become “God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved” (3:12). He helps us take off our “old self” and “put on the new self” (vv. 9–10)—living out the identity of those who love and forgive others because God has loved and forgiven us (vv. 13–14).
All around us are those who need us to “walk in their shoes” and have compassion for them in the day-to-day challenges of life. When we do, we walk in the shoes (or the sandals) of a humble king—Jesus—who always has compassion for us. .
Reflect & Pray
How has God had compassion for you? Who can you show His love to today?
Thank You, Jesus, for Your forgiveness and love. Help me to receive it, and also to give it away.
There was a family having a picnic at Wichita Ridge yesterday (No surprise, the weather was really nice out there) but, we did nonetheless enjoy ourselves, especially Gizmo.
It was nice out there as I mentioned earlier.
Gizmo rested up after the visit.

How's everyone doing this morning?
