Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.
Hope you got in a good ride today.
I did some riding yesterday, by the ocean. :-)

Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners

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, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Did you give your back the day off?
Busy work day today...LOTS of mail to handle, but the garn checks are now done. Late getting home because of addressing problems for 2 entities I’ve tried to get fixed for months now, and more to do this evening.
Howdy, Kathy.
I hoped it would be another pretty day there today but no such luck. The only ones enjoying today’s weather are the ducks. LOL
Another day of rain to the east and to the west but not here. *sigh*
Heck, my back’s had several days off. LOL Still waiting for Hubby’s cousin to take Champ to the “mower doctor” get fixed, so I can’t mow. I couldn’t have mowed the past few days anyway because of the wind. I’d have been covered with so much grass, it would have looked like I was wearing a Ghillie suit. LOL
Sounds like your day was “fun”. At least the garn checks are done and out of the way. I wish you luck getting everything done to be ready for Monday and MAYBE finding a little “you” time this weekend.
Bible in a Year :
If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
Johnny’s hope wasn’t simply in the fact that Jesus was resurrected on Easter Sunday morning; he believed that one day his own physical body would also be resurrected, and he’d rise again.
It’s an important truth to affirm because even in the days of the apostle Paul, people denied a future physical resurrection. Paul strongly critiqued their argument when he wrote, “If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith” (1 Corinthians 15:13-14).
Just as the grave couldn’t hold Jesus’ body, one day all those who have faith that He was resurrected “will be made alive” (v. 22). And in our resurrected bodies, we’ll enjoy all eternity with Him on a new earth. That’s reason to sing!
Reflect & Pray
What comfort does the hope of physical resurrection bring to you? How’s it an expression of faith?
Jesus, thank You for giving me the amazing hope of a future in heaven with You.
OMG!!!! I just had a front row seat for a hawk trying to get dinner. I was throwing out corn for about 30 ducks and all of a sudden heard something from the sky...no clue what it was. A warning cry from other ducks? The hawk? They all took off for the creek. I watched him, several times, try to get one. The only reason he did not was because of his wing span trying to navigate the trees.
My guess is his wing span was at least 5’...they looked HUGE!!! He sat on a tree stump at the edge of the creek, but finally flew away. How far? Who knows...the ducks are all siting on the bank under the trees and very nervous.
Wow! Glad the ducks all managed to escape the hawk! That was a close call.
Yes, hawks are quite large. There are a couple of red-tailed hawks that live here and hunt on the farm regularly. One was sitting on a telephone by the driveway when I got home this evening and it flew off as I drove in. Probably scoping out the front field for mice or rats scurrying through the corn stubble.
Poor ducks. Dinner was interrupted and they aren’t going to feel comfortable leaving the safety of the creek for a little while.
Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way.
A blessed Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost (Western)/Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost & Sunday after the Exaltation of the Cross (Orthodox) to all!
Howdy, luvie.
Was the weatherman correct about the temp dropping a little today?
The weatherfolks here sure blew the weekend forecast for us. NOAA too. They FINALLY cancelled our flood watch this afternoon after having it up since Thursday and us getting almost no rain. I finally got a few drops this evening.
