Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...they say it’s going to start raining here again. No complaints...about 3” so far, but the first real rain since the snow melted.

Hope your weather has improved so you and Blue can get out and cruise.

Howdy, Kathy.

Looks like Mother Nature is being very kind to y’all after the dry summer you’ve had. It’s raining again.

We got a little this afternoon! Only 3/10 of an inch but it’s a start. The nice thing is it’s cooler at long last.

Comments below the video:

“This is absolutely awe inspiring. 98 years old. Battle of the Bulge. This man gave a better speech than Biden has in his entire life. God Bless Thank you for your service.”

“I served as a Marine in Afghanistan 2003 and 2004. I am in complete awe of this man, he’s lively and represents the best of what this country has to offer. What a treasure.”

“The patriotism in that arena is through the roof! MAGA! 🇺🇸”

Renewing Our Strength

Bible in a Year :

• Psalms 20-22
• Acts 21:1-17

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary.

Isaiah 40:31

A pair of eagles built a giant nest in a tree a few miles away from my house. Before long, the enormous birds had eaglets. They cared for their hatchlings together until one of the adult eagles was tragically struck and killed by a car. For several days, the surviving eagle flew up and down a nearby river, as if searching for the lost mate. Finally, the eagle returned to the nest and assumed the full responsibility of raising the offspring.

In any situation, single parenting can be challenging. The delight a child brings combined with possible financial and emotional pressure can create a broad range of experiences. But there’s hope for those who have this important role, and for anyone trying to manage a situation that feels overwhelming.

God is with us when we feel exhausted and discouraged. Because He’s omnipotent—all powerful—and doesn’t change, His strength won’t ever expire. We can trust what the Bible says: “Those who hope in [Him] will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31). Coming up against our own limits won’t determine what happens to us because we can depend on God to supernaturally recharge us. Hoping in Him allows us to walk and not faint, and to “soar on wings like eagles”  (v. 31).

Reflect & Pray

How have you seen God’s faithfulness in your life? How can you serve Him in this season?

Dear God, please help me to follow You all the days of my life.
