Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

Good evening, radu...have you been storm chasing all day? Still on your bucket list?

Milton has landed....many prayers for so many. Our friend has LOTS OF WIND AND RAN, but only flickers for power so far. One good thing is she is on the same grid as the police station and hospital.

Hey there, Kathy.

Yes, my eyes have been on FL since I woke up this afternoon.
Yes, still on my bucket list - LOL - but that list will never get checked off. I’m pretty much stuck at home with all these furry critters.

Just sat down with supper and was going to email you to ask about our friend. Glad to hear she’s ok. Whew! I knew she wouldn’t catch the brunt of the storm but there were so many tornados this afternoon!

It’s quite wild down there right now. I feel so bad for all the people in this mess today. A lot hadn’t finished cleaning up from Helene’s thrashing and now this. :-(

Hi Kathy, our Fall weather has continued warm but do need a bit of heat in the morning hours.

Thanks again!

Evening, Kathy! Thanks again for the army pics!

Love beyond Boundaries

Bible in a Year :

• Isaiah 34-36
• Colossians 2

So great is his love for those who fear him.

Psalm 103:11

“God has been so good to us! I want to thank Him for our anniversary.” Terry’s voice was steady, and the tears in her eyes showed her sincerity. Those in our small group were deeply moved. We knew what past years had held for Terry and her husband. Though a believer, Robert suffered from the sudden onset of severe mental illness and had taken the life of their four-year-old daughter. He would be institutionalized for decades, but Terry visited him, and God did a beautiful healing work, helping her forgive. Despite profound heartache, their love for each other grew.

Love and forgiveness like that could only come from one source. David writes about God this way, “He does not treat us as our sins deserve . . . . As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:10, 12).

The mercy God shows us comes through His expansive love: “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love” for us (v. 11). Love so profound compelled Him to go to the depths of the cross and grave to take away our sins so that He could bring all who “receive him” (John 1:12) home to Himself.

Terry was right. “God has been so good to us!” His love and forgiveness reach beyond unthinkable boundaries and offer us life that never ends.

Reflect & Pray

How has God shown you mercy for wrong things you’ve done? How can you respond to His mercy and love today?

Merciful God, please help me to revel in Your love and to grow in it. Love through me, that others may know Your perfect love too!

ALWAYS remember our troops
...because they sacrifice it all for us!

Good evening, spel...thanks for the tunes. Easy listening, but toe tapping, too. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Made it, but just barely...spent more than half the day rounding up paperwork that required signatures from 1 EE without a printer. He’s been calling me for days because he didn’t get his check. Said his address of record does not receive mail. Well,,,duh!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how is your Florida area faring?

And chance for time with Blue this week?

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

How’d your day go?

It was a stay-in-da-house day here. Still trying to clear my sinuses and lungs of dust from the past three days.

[radu]

Just can’t get shed of EEs who cause problems, can you?
Why did this one give an address that doesn’t receive mail? sheesh!

[luvie]

Hey there, radu.

It was a good day here except for the no-nap-on-Wednesdays scenario. I’m getting sleepy already.

I don’t blame you for not wanting to get out in all that dust. Ack!
