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! So far no rain, although the sky is overcast and we will probably be getting showers later on, but meanwhile, it is good to see no rain for a little while.
Come to think of it, we had no rain yesterday, either!
I ran some errands yesterday, and on my way to various places, noted that the retention ponds were all full. We are a wet city! After I finished shopping, I drove into the park, and saw the canal was full almost to overflowing the weir. An anhinga was sitting on the edge with his toes almost in the water. The grass was freshly mowed and the ibis were enjoying the pecking. Also the squirrels were munching all over the grass for acorns newly visible.
The water was flowing swiftly under the first bridge and large groups of lilies were floating on down toward the third bridge, probably to pile up against it. But it is good to see the water so high. God always provides!
Well, the attack cardinal is gone! Yay! No appearance yesterday, and none today, so far. So I guess the next order of business is to get the dirty windows cleaned. But God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Psalm 119
Happy are people of integrity,
who follow the law of the Lord.
Happy are those who obey his decrees
and search for him with all their hearts.
They do not compromise with evil,
and they walk only in his paths.
You have charged us to keep your
commandments carefully.
Oh, that my actions would consistently
reflect your principles!
Then I will not be disgraced
when I compare my life with your commands.
When I learn your righteous laws,
I will thank you by living as I should!
I will obey your principles.
Please don't give up on me!
I always give thanks for you. remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving
joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
