It was a super cold and windy day. I ran out to get a few groceries and was chilled just buzzing from the car to the stores. I was finally able to find a big, soft perfect pillow for my downstairs couch to match the little ones. Daddy and babies! Long overdue – the old ones were about 15 years old and felt like you were laying on bricks…
I was inspired by the weather to make soup. Diane gave me some potatoes so I made cream of potato soup – Gen’s fabulous recipe! – and I’m really looking forward to having a bowl of that when I finish this post.
Without sounding rude – when a vehicle has a PD plate on the back, does that mean they are unable to use TURN SIGNALS???? Just asking —
One of my afternoon tasks was to get a few spots of white paint from the red bedroom carpet. I tramped them in there from a drip, I guess. I used this amazing product called ‘Home made simple’ – Lavender scent. All the spots came right out – even the one from 2 years ago when we painted that room! I highly recommend it. It’s a multi-purpose cleaner available about anywhere. Give it a try! (Commercial over…)
Today I will share Greg’s message from Vanderbilt (Jan 10). Walking on Water. No matter what happens, we have to keep moving. Don’t stop. When you stand still it’s spiritual death. With everything going on around us in this country, remember that nothing has changed in the kingdom of God. Throw everything that entangles us off and run the race; fix your eyes on Jesus. 1) Run your race! Run with all of your soul, mind, heart and strength. 2) Learn from Peter – if you are afraid remember that God is on the throne. He is the great I AM and He’s got you! 3) Learn from Paul – He fought the good fight, finished the race, kept the faith. 4) Learn from Joshua. Fear the Lord and serve him with faithfulness. Choose this day whom you will serve. As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. Don’t add anything to your race. Fear God, Keep His commandments, (10 commandments and beatitudes) 5) Learn from Jesus. The greatest commandment is Love the Lord your God and Love your neighbor as yourself. MOVE TO THE GOAL!
And just a word from last week’s message from Tim Jones – Touch is very important; vital to our health and attitudes. In these days of restrictions, remember that our only hope is in the touch of Jesus – we all need it. Jesus touched to heal and He can still touch us and make us whole!
On this day in 1938 Thornton Wilder’s OUR TOWN premiered; in 1901 Queen Victoria died at age 81, and Lyndon B. Johnson (36th President) died in 1973 at age 64. Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy died in 1995 at age 104. In 2005 Donald Trump (45th President) married Melania Knauss. In 1561 Francis Bacon was born, and in 1645 William Kidd (Pirate) was born. Lord Byron in 1788 and Bill Bixby in 1934. And today my step-brother Dick Graves is celebrating a birthday. Happy birthday Dick – many, many more, and enjoy your day!
