Maybe you’ll get lucky and not run into too much road construction on the way there and back. No fun having an already long trip lengthened by having to slow down.
It’ll be really nice if the weather behaves.

Just have to see what the vet finds when he checks her out. I always hope for the best but am prepared for the worst with these situations.

Sleep well. I’m about to follow suit. Catch ya tomorrow.

[radu]

Hey there early bird. Caught me just in time. Your day begins and mine ends.

[radu]

LOL She did and it worked. I didn’t even notice.

WOOHOO, luvie, on the #50.

[beachn4fun]

Good night Vamp.

[beachn4fun]

She’s sneaky like that. hehe

[radu]

Have a good day! I don’t see any rain up your way so it looks like a good day for your walk.

[radu]

I’m heading that way now. The sun will be up shortly and I sure don’t want to turn to a pile of ash!

[beachn4fun]

no walk today.
Going to pet cemetery to arrange burial of our last two furbabies before we move.
Then, more errands.
Not much time for my walks until I get the packing done.

[left that other site]

I have a very busy weekend ahead, involving music. So Blue might have to rest a bit before Monday, when I will have the day off! Woo Hoo!

Joy in Giving

Bible in a Year :

• 2 Chronicles 28-29
• John 17

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Acts 20:35

When Keri’s young son was going through yet another surgery related to muscular dystrophy, she wanted to take her mind off her family’s situation by doing something for someone else. So she rounded up her son’s outgrown but gently used shoes and donated them to a ministry. Her giving prompted friends and family members and even neighbors to join in, and soon more than two hundred pairs of shoes were donated!

Although the shoe drive was meant to bless others, Keri feels her family was blessed more. “The whole experience really lifted our spirits and helped us to focus outward.”

Paul understood how important it was for followers of Jesus to give generously. On his way to Jerusalem, the apostle Paul stopped in Ephesus. He knew it would likely be his last visit with the people of the church he’d founded there. In his farewell address to the church elders, he reminded them how he’d worked diligently in service to God (Acts 20:17-20) and encouraged them to do the same. Then he concluded with Jesus’ words: “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (v. 35).

Jesus wants us to freely and humbly give of ourselves (Luke 6:38). When we trust Him to guide us, He’ll provide opportunities for us to do so. Like Keri’s family, we may be surprised by the joy we experience as a result.

Reflect & Pray

In what way might God be calling you to give of yourself to another? When have you been the beneficiary of someone’s generosity?

Dear Father, please help me to freely give of my time and resources to others.

[luvie]

You got this! :)

[luvie]

Right now, here, it’s 100 and feels like 97.
In Bryan, with their level of humidity, it’s 92 and feels like 103. Ungh😵‍💫

I think yours is more like theirs [maybe not as high] than ours. I feel for you if you have to get out.
