It was a chilly walk outside this morning but did feel invigorating! After breakfast I started taking everything out of my bedroom – took the switch plates off and everything off the wall and took the hooks down. Nate is going to paint for me and I wanted to get a head start. I washed everything and wiped down all the cords and furniture and pictures, and even rinsed off the silk flowers. It will be nice to have it fresh and bright. Of course I chose purple – a different shade than it already is.
Yesterday Chrissy took some pictures of the trees covered with snow. She loves taking nature and weather pictures so I am sharing a few.
Today I will share Rod’s message – All things are possible. People respond to expressions of love and sharing far more than church attendance and doctrine. They notice a quiet, sincere reverence that we have toward God and how we handle life and love for others. We need to honor his name – even angels worship and honor God. We need to have a clean heart – We can’t do that on our own but Jesus can. We should live a life of reverence and love until He comes again – when will he come? This year? This month? This week? How will you live your life? Love others and love God, and let others see that reverence in you.
On this day in 1838 Samuel Morse demonstrated his telegraph machine in New Jersey, and in 1929 Mother Teresa arrived in Calcutta to begin her work there. Elvis made his last appearance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1957, and Ted Turner purchased the Atlanta Braves in 1976. John Smith – leader of the Virginia Colony (Jamestown) was born in 1580, and Loretta Young in 1913. Louis Braille died at age 43 from TB in 1852 and Theodore Roosevelt (26h President) died at age 60 in 1919. In 1759 our first president George Washington married Martha Custis, and in 1945 George H W Bush (who would be our 41st president) married Barbara Pierce.
TOMORROW January 7 is:
Have a safe, warm, and happy day – and live love! God bless – – –
