Good morning, dear friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! And what a glorious morning it is! The cool wind is blowing, the sun is shining, and it is a great day to be alive!
Although it gets warm in the afternoon, still , for the most part, I can open some of the windows and let the cool air in. I look forward to October just for that reason. The birds were out in full force this morning, singing and flying about, Morning is a good time to see all the activity in the park, because animals and birds are out getting breakfast.
Well, I watched the Rays lose yesterday, but they should still be proud of the way they came back and got in the playoffs. I have decided that I like baseball better than football, except when the Gators play.
This morning I heard a helicopter hovering for a long time over the interstate and found out from TV that an accident had happened at 54th and the interstate. A good time to be careful going to work. But God is control and He is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Psalm 8
O Lord, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth!
Your glory is higher than the heavens.
You have taught children and nursing infants to give you praise.
They silence your enemies who were seeking revenge.
When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers--
the moon and the stars you have set in place.
What are mortals that you should think of us,
mere humans that you should care for us
For you made us only a little lower than God,
and you crowned us with glory and honor.
You put us in charge of everything you made,
giving us authority over all things.--
the sheep and the cattle
and all the wild animals,
the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.
O Lord, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth!
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs, Amaryllis

Still Cruisin' thru Corinthiians 12
Good morning, dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! We are still having nice, cool mornings, but the afternoons are starting to warm up again, so we will be back in the heat again soon. I turned on the A/C yesterday because the inside was stuffy.
I walked on the sidewalk at the park yesterday, keeping to the shade as much as possible, and using my gnarly walking stick. I watched an egret fishing and down below me, two ibises were standing on a large growth of weeds extending into the canal. Yellow butterflies were flitting all around me , and suddenly, I heard a hawk calling from the oak trees ahead. I looked and looked for him, but when I got to where I thought he was, he stopped calling, so I was unable to locate him.
I stood and watched the water pouring from the drain that leads from Arrow Lake, which means it is still very high from all the rain. Sometimes gators swim through and come out into the canal. It runs right under the sidewalk. I enjoyed the walk and the solitude, although I spoke to several people as they walked along. God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
1 Corinthians 12:18
But God made our bodies with many parts, and he has put each part just where he wants it. What a strange thing a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. The eye can never say to the hand, "I don't need you."
In fact, some of the parts that seem weakest and least important are really the most necessary. And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect from the eyes of others those parts that should not be seen, while other parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together in such a way that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity. This makes for harmony among the members so that all the members care for each other equally. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad.
Now all of you together are Christ's body, and each one of you is a separate and necessary part of it. ..
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
