Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?
A positive example of when I felt loved is when my cousin and his wife came and got me and took me to Idaho from Texas. It was during Covid and they didn’t hesitate to come anyways. It’s been going on 4 years since that happened. So many people were praying for me! I haven’t had someone do that for me before. There have been many other examples of how my family has shown their love for me since then but that was one of the greatest.
As I write to you we are getting more snow – I’m having trouble keeping up with it! I feel so week trying to shovel. I rescheduled my appts to next week in hopes the snow will let up and the roads will be better. It’s crazy out there!
1 Corinthians 13New International Version
13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faiththat can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poorand give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Yesterday the snow just didn’t let up and so we are snowed in. I didn’t go to church this morning as my car was buried and they don’t plow the side roads. My neighbor came and helped me excavate my car. I have an appointment on Tuesday so hopefully we don’t get more snow by then!
Acts 2:42-47New International Version
The Fellowship of the Believers
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their numberdaily those who were being saved.
We got more snow – I’m over it lol. Had a good dream with my Dad last night. It had to do with coin collecting which was one of his favorite things to do.
As far as snacks I would eat right now I like dipping bread or potato chips into sour cream. I love sour cream! Love a Daisy dollop! That’s the brand of sour cream I buy.
Exodus 16:31New International Version
31 The people of Israel called the bread manna.[a] It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.
Links paths in the snow this morning trying to find a spot to do his business
This morning we woke up to snow that fell over night. We got quite a bit! I’ll probably need to go out and shovel it in a bit as I don’t think it will melt on its own.
Psalm 51:7New International Version
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Last night I had a vivid dream like I haven’t had in a long time. I dreamt of falling asleep in a dark room and then all the sudden the light coming on. The light switch had been flipped on and no one but me was in the room. I went and told my mom Dianne about it in the dream. I startled awake from this dream as it was so vivid! I couldn’t really fall back asleep.
Genesis 40:8New International Version
8 “We both had dreams,” they answered, “but there is no one to interpret them.”
Then Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?
Playtime is not something I think about much anymore. I used to play during time in the kitchen – I would dance and sing. Ever since I hurt my back last winter I haven’t been able to dance and even walking has been difficult. I have become a very serious person with all that has been going on in my life the past few years. My family wants me to get my back checked so I probably will need to get that done through the VA soon.
Ecclesiastes 3:1New International Version
A Time for Everything
3 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
Blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Madman, drummers, bummers Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat In the dumps with the mumps As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin’ kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round With this very unpleasin’, sneezin’ and wheezin’ The calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground!
But she was blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister Told me I got what it takes She said, “I’ll turn you on sonny to something strong Play the song with the funky break” And go-kart Mozart was checkin’ out the weather chart To see if it was safe outside And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly And asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride!
But she was blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light
She got down, but she never got tired She’s gonna make it through the night She’s gonna make it through the night
But, mama, that’s where the fun is
But mama, that’s where the fun is Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun But mama, that’s where the fun is
Some brimstone, baritone, anticyclone, rolling stone Preacher from the East Says, “Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone That’s where they expect it least And some new-mown chaperone standin’ in the corner Watchin’ the young girls dance And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin’ with his frozen zone Remind him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground!
But she was blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
blinded by the light (Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat) revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night (In the dumps with the mumps) blinded by the light (As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat) revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
blinded by the light (I tripped the merry-go-round) revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night (With this very unpleasin’, sneezin’ and wheezin’) blinded by the light (The calliope crashed to the ground) revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
blinded by the light (And throws his lover in the sand) revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night (And some bloodshot, forget-me-not said daddy’s within earshot) blinded by the light (Save the buckshot, turn up the band) revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
blinded by the light (Told me I got what it takes) revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night (She said, “I’ll turn you on, son, into something strong”)
She got down but she never got tired She’s gonna make it through the night
I have been a Democrat for quite some time but would like to change to an Independent because I don’t like either Republicans or Democrats! I use to be in alignment with Democrats but not any more. I haven’t been following politics much at all these days because I’m just disgusted with it all.
Matthew 22:15-22New International Version
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar
15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians.“Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a] to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.”They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.
Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
I would have to say my all time favorite car is the Sting Ray Corvette. One of my favorite memories is my Dads best friend David letting me drive his. I sat so low in it! I can’t remember the color I think it was green.
Psalm 16:11New International Version
11 You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
The biggest thing I know about the year I was born was the death of Martin Luther King on 4 April 1968 and Robert F . Kennedy on June 6 1968. I can only imagine how this must have affected my family who were avid supporters of equal rights. The year I was born was a tumultuous time!
Philippians 4:6-8New International Version
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
