I did get to take a walk this morning, then started cleaning. As I always do, I took the throw rugs out to the deck. Then I clean the upstairs, run the sweeper and mop the floors. THEN I shake the rugs and put them back down. About 11:30am it started to storm, and I didn’t even realize what that meant as the windows were all closed. Suddenly it dawned on me that the rugs were outside in the POURING rain! I threw them in the dryer but the heavy ones didn’t get dry. I hung them in the garage as it may rain again.
After I finished cleaning, I picked Autmn up at work and had my delicious payment – a fresh taco! When I came home, I moved a few plants that weren’t working where they were. Dottie (my ambitious gardening neighbor) inspired me, as she has a small ‘nursery’ over there, planting and moving and landscaping every day! Some of the gardens around my house are full of beautiful blooms! So far, that has been my day!
I will share Micah’s message from Old Mahoning – Careful Considerations. God is faithful and expects us to be moral – don’t fall for temptations. He doesn’t play favorites – the ground is level at the foot of the cross. We have to learn from our own mistakes. 1) Examine our thinking – watch your pride (Devil’s tool). Our mind is a battlefield – concentrate on what you know is truth. You take God with you everywhere you go: Is He as happy as you are? 2) Escape temptations – temptations are blessings – Satan doesn’t tempt the ungodly. When you fail you’re not done – He forgives and cleanses. He will never say “NO” if we ask sincerely. 3) Endure the test. Satan exhausts us! Emotional stress is harder than physical. When you quit, you stop too soon. Press on! Put on the armor of God and STAND! It’s our own fault if we live a defeated life, because God gives us everything we need to press on and LIVE!

Grape was always my favorite popsicle! So glad it has its own day. I’m a mild-mannered fan of Cellophane tape, I guess. It sure can come in handy! Have a great day tomorrow – God bless!
