Veteran's Day
Time to Honor---Time to Pray
LORD, as we honor all the brave men and women who have served our country, we think of those who are no longer with us. We pray that their families, whose sacrifice was so great, would know the depth of our gratitude and find comfort in you. For the veterans still with us, Lord, we pray for your hand of blessing and provision to be upon them. We ask for healing of their memories too painful to speak and that your love would be real in their lives. May your divine protection be upon our active troops and your wisdom be with those in authority over them to make decisions according to your perfect will. In Jesus' Name we pray, amen.
Yesterday, was lovely...with nice temperatures! Soon our afternoon skies turned to looking like this. Later, the night skies fell dark, and soon I saw lightening streaking across the skies... There was thunder and rain...lots of rain... Something, we haven't seen, heard or smelled for a long..long... time... smile.... I think we ended up with almost an inch of much needed rain.
When we woke this morning..our temperatures were really cold, for us. And as you can see the leaves are all gone from our trees. As much as I hate to say it, I think *winter* is on it's way... sad...
I looked out the door mid morning and saw these deer resting in our neighbors yard. Finally they both laid down, one facing toward our house, the other facing the opposite direction. Isn't it amazing how animals just know how to protect themselves?? Instinct I guess.. (This is a God thing isn't it??)
Thought I'd share with you, how busy we've been! Yesterday, even though it was a nice day, Tom made chili (it was so good!) and I baked a cake. Today he made Mushroom Orzo soup... (it was really good too...). Do you ever use orzo?? I love it so much more than rice. After lunch we made some banana bread!!! Our house smelled so good!!! Did you have a good SONday?? I hope it was restful and enjoyable...
