Hello Nancy, we got a brief shower already this morning and my plants on the deck slurped it up. The sun came back out and we are steamy now. Have a good new week!
A very good day to you . Woke up to 83 degrees to start off this morning so going to get yard done as soon as the sun comes up . Glad I have a battery operated mower so I won't wake the neighbors up . Have a great weekend & don't forget to smile at someone to make their day . For a big laugh when you're at the store and ask if you found everything ask them why are you hiding something ? Take care.....George
It's been a beautiful day. Temp is just right with a nice cool breeze. Sat on the front porch a while until the sun started to creep in on me. Went to farmer's market this morning and our church's auction. I brought home a delicious home made cherry pie but must deliver some to friends. It's a huge pie and I don't think I need to eat it all! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Blessings, Nancy
I know that cherry pie was so good for you and your friends. I know they were happy shared it with them. Farmer's markets are so great and fun. Hoping you have another relaxing weekend and not too hot in your area. Big hugs and blessings, Jackie
Good Afternoon, we are having very cool weather. It is wonderful. Just perfect. How are you doing? Ican't believe we are in August already. Fall is almost here and I am not ready for it. I want more Summer. My kids have been over a lot these past few weeks and I haven't had much time to go to my sites and post. It has been wonderful to have my daughter as she lives out of state. I just don't get to see her enough. Our kids are so wonderful and so good to me and my hubby. I am truely blessed. I hope you have a wonderful day. God Bless you. Hugs, Shirley
A long time ago God had a great many burdens that He wished to have carried from one place to another on Earth. He asked the animals to lend a hand, but all of them had excuses for not helping: the elephant was too dignified; the lion, too proud; and so on...
Finally the birds came to God and said, "If you will tie the burdens into small bundles, we'll be glad to carry them for you. We are small, but we would like to help."
So God fastened upon the back of each bird a small bundle, and they all set out walking across the plain to their destination. They sang as they went, not minding the weight of their burdens at all. Every day the burdens seemed lighter and lighter, until the loads seemed to be lifting the birds, instead of the birds carrying the burdens.
When they arrived at their destination, they discovered that when they removed their loads, there were beautiful wings in their place. Wings that enabled them to fly to the tree tops and soar through the sky, closer and closer to God.
The burdens we carry for others, as well as ourselves, become wings of the spirit, lifting us to new places and bringing us closer and closer to God.
Hi Nancy, hope your weekend was nice. Ours was mostly quiet. Visited with family for a cookout on Saturdaay. It was good to catch up with those who live far away. Warm here but the humidity has been lower so that's been nice. Have a wonderful new week.
Isn't it wonderful that God never give up on and keep working and molding us for his glory and honor.
I am so glad he didn't throw the clay away and keeps molding us and making us into his likeness.
Jeremiah 18: The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
Oh Praise our most high God. He is so awesome. Have a blessed Sunday. Love you, Shirley oxoxox
