the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Bible in a Year :
Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
When my mom was in hospice and nearing her last days on earth, I was touched by the genuine kindness of a nursing home caregiver. After gently lifting my frail mother from her chair and tucking her into bed, the nursing assistant caressed Mom’s head while leaning over her to say, “You are so sweet.” Then she asked how I was doing. Her kindness moved me to tears then and still does today.
Hers was a simple act of kindness, but it was just what I needed in that moment. It helped me to cope, knowing that in this woman’s eyes my mom wasn’t just a patient. She cared for and saw her as a person of great worth.
When Naomi and Ruth were bereft after the loss of their husbands, Boaz showed kindness to Ruth by allowing her to glean leftover grain behind the harvesters. He even ordered the male harvesters to leave her alone (Ruth 2:8-9). His kindness was prompted by Ruth’s care for Naomi: “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband” (v. 11). He saw her not as a foreigner or widow but as a woman in need.
God wants us to “clothe [ourselves] with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience” (Colossians 3:12). As God helps us, our simple acts of kindness can cheer hearts, bring hope, and inspire kindness in others.
Reflect & Pray
Where are you finding your social support? Who can you support with your friendship?
Thank You, Father, for those You’ve placed in my life who’ve kept the mountains in perspective.
Howdy, Kathy.
I hope you’re making good progress today getting everything lined up for tomorrow.
Looks like the clouds are trying to break up today.
The Victoria Cross is awarded to military men and women of the Commonwealth nations...Britain,Canada,Australia,New Zealand and others. It’s the highest honor a military man/woman can be awarded...equivalent to our Medal of Honor.
Howdy, PRO.
Have a good weekend? Any plans for another trip to the shooting range in the near future?
Pretty quiet here. The calm before the storm. LOL Gonna be a busy couple of weeks ahead.
Good evening, radu...hope some of the crud floating in your air is settling and you can breathe.
Good evening, Mooch...he is for sure a New Zealand hero. And one we should remember as well.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...prayers continue for your BIL and family.
Is your weather holding up?
Heya, Kathy.
Nope, the air is still full of dust and will be until we get some rain. I looked out just before sunset this evening and the layer of dirt in the air was quite visible. Blue sky overhead but a thick brown line all along the horizon.
Gonna be a rough time at the Republican women’s tent for early voting.
Well, I certainly hope you don't get snow too early this Fall!
Very lazy weekend my way, the weather has been beautiful but I won't have to use my A/C for too much longer as the real Fall weather approaches.
Son and I are headed back out to the range this upcoming week so that'll be fun and good practice time!
Are the precious kittehs behavin' themselves?
