Good evening, radu...hope day one of early voting went well.

Ours starts 10/21...I’ll go the 24th after my massage, or the 26th on my way home from work. Never have voted early, but these are trying times. My usual place to vote is the school behind my house.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sanity? What’s that...busy, busy day, but only one problem that didn’t take too long to solve. But I need a nap.

[luvie]

ALways remember our troops!
They are literally our guardian angels!

Good evening, Pro...we must remember them.

God’s Provision

Bible in a Year :

• Isaiah 50-52
• 1 Thessalonians 5

Moses said to them, “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat.”

Exodus 16:15

The world was amazed when four siblings ages one to thirteen were found alive in Colombia’s Amazon jungle in June 2023. The siblings had survived forty days in the jungle after a plane crash, which killed their mother. The children, who were familiar with the jungle’s harsh terrain, hid from wild animals in tree trunks, collected water from streams and rain in bottles, and ate food such as cassava flour from the wreckage. They also knew which wild fruits and seeds were safe to eat.

God sustained the siblings.

Their incredible story reminds me of how God miraculously sustained the Israelites in the desert for forty years, which is recorded in the books of Exodus and Numbers and mentioned throughout the Bible. He preserved their lives so that they would know He was their God.

God turned bitter spring water into drinkable water, provided water from a rock twice, and guided His people in a pillar of cloud by day and pillar of fire by night. He also provided manna for them. “Moses said to them, ‘It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat. This is what the Lord has commanded: Everyone is to gather as much as they need’ ” (Exodus 16:15-16).

The same God provides us with “our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11). We can trust Him to provide for our needs “according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). What a mighty God we serve!

Reflect & Pray

How have you experienced God’s provision? What are you currently trusting Him for?

Dear God, thank You for providing for my every need.

Hey there, Kathy.

Early voting started off with a bang. Not just here but across the state. Everyone’s anxious to cast their votes. The pace keeps up, there won’t be anyone but me voting on election day. LOL

Lucky you, with your usual voting place being basically in your back yard. I have to drive a few miles in the country to get to mine. It’s a pretty drive and I don’t mind at all.

Good evening, ETR...those flags are really cool!

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

[radu]

At least the problem didn’t take long to solve, for a change. That’s unusual.

Sounds like an early bedtime is in order tonight. Your weary brain needs a good rest.

Howdy, luvie.
Beautiful graphic. They ARE our guardian angels.

Did you get your nice cool weather today? Did the wind stick around?
It was chilly and windy again here but at least we had sunshine. The wind has finally died down but that means we’ll have frost tonight. The wind held it at bay last night.

Hey there, radu!

I’ve always loved that graphic. Thank you.

It WAS a lot cooler today....at least 20 degrees. It’s 62 right now. It’s been nice. I just put socks on for the first time. My feets got chilled going out barefoot to feed the kitties. THEY are very happy. :)

Our coolness is short-lived. Next Monday, 84. Tuesday, 86. Wed. 84 again before dipping back into the 70s. LOL! I can’t believe you are going to have frost tonight. It just seems so early to me! Stay warm! 🥶
