Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))

Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.
More sun for fun adventures for you and Tippy?
I’m hoping the snow is finally done here after the last 2 days of it..
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...and Shavua Tov and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Good to hear you are flying again. Stay away from moving metal things.
Bible in a Year :
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
According to research, people who are intentionally grateful for what they have report better sleep, fewer symptoms of illness, and more happiness. Those are impressive benefits. Psychologists even suggest keeping a “gratitude journal” to improve our well-being, writing down five things we’re grateful for each week.
Scripture has long promoted the practice of gratitude. From meals and marriage (1 Timothy 4:3-5) to the beauties of creation (Psalm 104), the Bible has called us to see such things as gifts and to thank the Giver for them. Psalm 107 lists five things Israel could be especially grateful for: their rescue from the desert (vv. 4-9), their release from captivity (vv. 10-16), healing from disease (vv. 18-22), safety at sea (vv. 23-32), and their flourishing in a barren land (vv. 33-42). “Give thanks to the Lord,” the psalm repeats, for these are all signs of God’s “unfailing love” (vv. 8, 15, 21, 31).
Do you have a notepad handy? Why not write down five good things you’re grateful for now? It might be the meal you just enjoyed, your marriage or, like Israel, God’s rescue points in your life to date. Give thanks for the birds singing outside, the smells from your kitchen, the comfort of your chair, the murmurs of loved ones. Each is a gift and a sign of God’s unfailing love. .
Reflect & Pray
Why do you think Scripture so often calls us to be thankful? What five good things are you grateful for today?
Father God, I’m grateful for every good thing You’ve brought into my life. And most of all, I’m grateful for You.
Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way.
A blessed Second Sunday of Easter (Western)/Sunday of the Cross† (Orthodox) to all!
†Orthodox Pascha (Easter) is on May 5.
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
Good evening, Mooch...did you feel the earthquake? Everything stay on your walls?
Howdy, Kathy.
It was looking a bit dry on pavement up there earlier and there were even patches of blue sky from time to time. Now it’s gray and wet again. :-(
Were you able to get to and from the office without any headaches today?
Nope...Rain Rain Rain. Grrrrrrr
Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
No snow today! And the roads were pretty much dry on my way to the office. Right now the sky seems to lightening up...maybe some sun in a bit?
Hope your winds have settled down and you and Champ enjoyed your day.
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
And a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Enjoy your weekend! Hoping no more snow for you.
