Accomplishment

Jesus replied, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.  This is the first and greatest commandment.  A second is equally important:  Love your neighbor as yourself.”  Matthew 22:37-39  October 21, 2024

“When we understand that Matthew 22:37-39 is our life’s mission, we measure accomplishment by God’s standard - by investing in people and relationships in our homes, our neighborhoods, our communities.  We become world changers right where God has planted us, living ordinary, extraordinary lives.”  ~Julie Fisk, One Good Word a Day

Assistance

Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.  If one person falls, the other can reach out and help.  But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.  Ecclesiastes 4:9, 10  October 22, 2024

Credits:

She's All That by Fiddlette Designs


Honor

We ask God to give you…spiritual wisdom and understanding.  Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit.  Colossians 1:9, 10  October 23, 2024

Provision

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.  Psalm 23:1  October 24, 2024

Farm Girl AddOn Kit by Lynne Anzelc


Relinquish

For who can know the Lord’s thoughts?  Who knows enough to give Him advice?  Romans 11:34  October 25, 2024

Sometimes I think, without really meaning to, that I try to control God by praying for “things” without asking, “Thy will be done.”  I need to always remember to relinquish my control to His sovereign control.  After all, the God Who created the universe all things and is watching over all His creation knows what is best for me!

Direction

The Lord directs the steps of the godly.  He delights in every detail of their lives.  Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.  Psalm 37:23, 24  October 26, 2024

"We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly, but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey, or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way. " - Gloria Gaither

Pause

Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions.  Proverbs 18:2  October 27, 2024

“Lord, remind us to prayerfully pause when invited to be outraged, especially by political parties or those with an agenda.  Give us discernment, remembering to be centered in Christ.  Amen.” ~Julie Fisk

Left

We left the house at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 17th.  Since I-40 was closed from the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene in September we had to find a new route to take.  We decided to take I-85 south to the bypass around Atlanta, I-285, hoping to miss Atlanta traffic.  Unfortunately, that didn’t help at all!  So, on the way home on the 21st we traveled 411 to 20 to I-85 north near Lavonia, GA.  It didn’t really save us any time, but it certainly saved on the stress level.

We arrived at Michael and Jessica’s at 5:42 CST (6:42 EST).  That would be an 8 3/4 hours trip, including stops for gas and food and bathrooms.  We stayed in for the evening.

On Friday, we went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel and then headed to Guntersville Dam to take pictures.  There was a nice park next to the water.  While taking pictures and walking through the park, I tripped on a tree root and fell.  I thought I had broken my right wrist so we went to Marshall Medical Center for X-rays.  No broken bones, but I was very sore in my ribs and arm on the left side plus my right wrist.  I iced it throughout the week- end.

Friday evening we went to Fire by the Lake restaurant where we met Jessica’s mom, Joann and Caleb, her grandson. 

On Saturday afternoon we took the dogs for their afternoon walk.

Right

Sunday we all stayed home and listened to Bobby’s message and then met Joann at Julia’s Mexican Restaurant for lunch.

In the afternoon Michael and I walked the dogs.  Mark had to lay down with a headache.

We played lots of Rummikub in the afternoon and evenings.

On Monday we got up early to begin the trip back home.  Jessica had to take Caleb to day care, so we didn’t get a farewell picture with her.  We were on the road by 7:15 (8:15 our time).  We arrived home at almost 5:30.

Another great trip and time spent with Michael and Jessica!

Acknowledge

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.  Colossians 3:12  October 4, 2024

When we see someone who need encouragement or help in some way, we need to acknowledge that need and take the opportunity to show the love of Christ to that person because “we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”  Ephesians 2:10

Those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again.  It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.  John 4:14  October 5, 2024

Surrender

Whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.  What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.  I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ.  Philippians 3:7-8  October 6, 2024

Fame, fortune, prestige, honor…..none of these is worth having if it means not having Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior!

Indulge

Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.  Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.  Philippians 4:8  October 9, 2024

I consider when you “fix” your thoughts…..its like focusing in on something with your camera to keep your subject in the viewing frame.   Definition:  in·dulge /inˈdÉ™lj/ verb - allow oneself to enjoy the pleasure of.

Advocate

When we sin, we have an Advocate who pleads our case before the Father.  He is Jesus Christ, the One who is truly righteous.  He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins - and not only our sins but the sins of the world.  1 John 2:1-2  October 10, 2024
