Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
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.
Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way.
A blessed Second Sunday after Pentecost aka Corpus Christi (western)/Sunday of the Samaritan Woman (Orthodox)† to all!
†Orthodox Pentecost is June 23.

And a blessed Second Sunday after Pentecost aka Corpus Christi (western)/Sunday of the Samaritan Woman (Orthodox)† to all!
Hope you are enjoying nice pre-summer weather. We are still waiting for rain.
We were blessed with a slighly above average May in both temperature and rainfall.
Friday morning’s low was 43 and today’s was 46...cool start to June.
Bible in a Year :
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely.
When my wife, Cari, and I finished our higher education, we had several thousand dollars in debt that we needed to consolidate through a lower interest rate. We applied for a loan at the local bank but were turned down because we hadn’t lived or worked in that city for long. A few days later, I shared what had happened with my friend Ming, who was an elder in our church. “I’d like to mention this to my wife,” he said on the way out the door.
A few hours later, the phone rang. It was Ming: “Ann and I would like to loan you the money you need, interest free,” he offered. I didn’t know what to say, so I responded, “I can’t ask that of you.” “You’re not asking!” Ming answered jovially. They kindly gave us the loan, and Cari and I paid them back as quickly as we could.
I believe Ming and Ann were generous because of their love for God. As Scripture tells us, “Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice” (Psalm 112:5). Those who trust in God can have “steadfast” hearts that “are secure” (vv. 7-8), understanding that He’s the source of everything good in their lives.
God has been generous with us, giving us life and forgiveness. Let’s be generous in sharing His love and our resources with those in need.
Reflect & Pray
How has God been generous to you? How can you share His kindness and generosity with someone in need today?
Thank You, loving Father, for giving me the gift of life and for providing for me every day. Help me to trust You and have a generous heart like Yours.
Howdy, Kathy.
Our skies have looked similar today. The difference is mine’s been leaking most of the day.
Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Did the rain arrive?
No rain and no sun here. *sigh* A few spots of blue sky can be seen.
Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...and Shavua Tov and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Looks like your new laptop is doing a fine job.
Any ubering coming up?
he rain arrived before I went to bed this morning and it’s been here most of the day. A drizzly rain, not heavy; It was windy and chilly too. Sure didn’t feel like June.
I can see the patches of blue sky over the mountains. None to be seen in any other direction though. It’s too bad you couldn’t get some rain with those clouds. They need to be useful if they’re going to hang around.
God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.
Thanks, unique.
Howdy, luvie.
Hope your day was a good one. Looks like t’s been cloudy there and that should make you happy. :-)
