[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...finally, America is back.

So unhappy that our troops had such a hard time voting. I hope President Trump makes some heads roll.

[Kathy in Alaska]

THANK GOODNESS!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

[PROCON]

Hiya radu!

Yeah, I went to bed around 9:30 not really knowing the final results and of course was pleased this morning!

I haven't done much this week, now my back is out of joint, sucks getting old.

I hope all is well your way!

[radu]

Yes, it is and I am so grateful!

But like you, I’m PO’d about what they did to the troops ....... again. I’m tired of it.

Other People’s Business

Bible in a Year :

• Jeremiah 40-42
• Hebrews 4

I plead with Euodia and . . . Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

Philippians 4:2

Four of our grandkids were playing with a miniature train set, and the younger two were arguing over an engine. When our eight-year-old grandson began to intervene, his six-year-old sister stated, “Don’t worry about their business.” Wise words for us all—usually. But when the argument turned to tears, Grandma stepped in, separated, and comforted the squabbling children.

It’s good to stay out of others’ business when doing so could make matters worse. But sometimes we need to prayerfully get involved. In his letter to the Philippians, the apostle Paul provides an example of when to do so. Here he urges two women, Euodia and Syntyche, “to be of the same mind in the Lord” (4:2). Apparently, their disagreement had become so intense that the apostle felt compelled to intervene (v. 3), even though he was imprisoned (1:7).

Paul knew the women’s argument was causing disunity and taking focus away from the gospel. So, he gently spoke the truth while reminding them that their names were written “in the book of life” (4:3). Paul wanted these women and everyone in the church to live as God’s people in thought and actions (vv. 4-9).  

When you’re unsure if you should get involved, pray, trusting that “the God of peace will be with you” (v. 9; see v. 7).

Reflect & Pray

When have you recently stepped into an argument or disagreement, and what was the result? How does seeking God’s leading affect how you handle conflict?  

Dear God, please give me the wisdom to know when to get involved and provide me with the words to say to bring healing and unity.

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[radu]

It was pretty hard to stay on top of it last night. At least it isn’t a pay week but it still does need to get done. Good luck!

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy!

I’m still giddy over Election Night.

Now I can celebrate my B-day (Thursday) with a new President!

[radu]

Another hour or so and you would have been able to go to bed with a smile on your face. Of course, no one knew when to expect the good news to come out.

I didn’t hit the pillows until 6 this morning. Got home from a watch party around 2:30 and hopped on the computer for more fun. And the fun’s gone on all day today. LOL

Bummer about your back. I sympathize fully. It ruins everything when it goes out of whack.

Things are going pretty well here. Da kittehs are all doing well and are still driving me up the walls at times with their antics.

[luvie]

And speaking of the troops...
Our President LOVES the troops so much

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Great pic of Trump and Melania with some of our troops. Look at all the happy faces.

[Kathy in Alaska]

What a birthday present! Just a few more hours.

Happy Birthday, Mooch!!
