Good Morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will be glad and rejoice in it! It is good to see the sun after a couple days of overcast skies and rain most of yesterday afternoon. But we finally have winter, because the temps are down in the sixties and will climb to the seventies as the sun warms everything up.
I put my warm fleecy blanket on the bed for the first time this winter, and it felt so good and toasty! It will probably be on for a few more nights at least.
Well, the yard guys are here and wearing shorts, but one has long sleeves on his shirt, so that is a concession that it is cooler. They skipped last week, so they have a lot of catching up to do.
The weather has been so nice, that the Park has been extra busy with lots of visitors. I drove through there a couple times while it was so hot, and had to stop to let a young woman with her cell clamped to her ear so tightly, that she walked right in front of me. She was oblivious to anything around her. Sigh.
However, the squirrels don't let anything bother them...they race across in front of traffic and most times manage to escape harm. I saw an anhinga with wings spread wide perched on a large bush over the water. God is good!
From the Promise Bible NLT:
Psalm 139:17,18,23,24
How precious are your thoughts about me,
O God!
They are innumerable!
I can't even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up in the morning,
you are still with me!
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of
everlasting life.
I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!
Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
