February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in. I finally purchased a new monthly focus board. We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good! My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy! My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
I am reading this as part of my devotional and couldn't help but chuckle! We have reaped a harvest of flooding from the storm Debbie. Seems she has left but flooding is still happening in some area's. I have prayed for rain for so long as our county and especially for our homestead because it has been so dry. I got my prayers answered with a little kick to it! I am not complaining but just couldn't help but laugh at the Lord's sense of humor this morning. I walked outside on my porch to see the road in front of my home under water. Half of front yard is flooded. My pond is running over into the yard. We had two leaks in our home yesterday in the midst of the storm that had to be fixed, alternate routes had to be taken to go anywhere within a 20 miles radius of us, my fatherinlaw's porch was flooded, and this morning I read, "This is the day the Lord has made,let us be glad and rejoice in it!
This indeed is a brand new day that God has given us to Praise Him and to thank Him!
Praying that no matter what is going on in your life that you too realize that this is the day the Lord has made and be glad and rejoice!

Good morning, Cindy. I must confess that I have been complaining that it has been so hot and extreeeeemely humid here, but then was very thankful because that high pressure kept that terrible storm from coming here. Then I'm not sure how I feel about that because now you are flooded, so the Lord's Word is a good reminder that the "day" (any day)no matter the situation, is the Lord's and we should rejoice in it. I send up many prayers for you and your family and neighbors. I suppose we need to look for the blessings in the hard times.
ReplyDeleteI also checked out your previous posts that I missed. LOVE THE YARD SALE ITEMS! Can't wait to see what you do with the chandelier. The other posts are just GREAT! You find so many creative people with so many wonderful ideas.
You are the best! Stay dry...
Hugs,
Brenda
Prayers going up for you!
Yes Indeed Miss Cindy....This is the day the Lord has made and I am trying real hard to REJOICE! Thanks for the reminder. Nita B
ReplyDeletePraying for you, Ms. Cindy....and for all those in Colorado experiencing the fires. It's supposed to be 100 degrees here this weekend...I do believe our GOD is trying desperately to get the attention of HIS people!
ReplyDeleteAmen! Preach it sister!
ReplyDeleteYes - I'm wondering about the balance of the weather and acts of God this week - the waters you're inundated with might be more useful in Colorado just now!
ReplyDeleteGod is in control - even in this!!
Joy!

Hi CIndy, sorry about the floodings. My son in FL just called and said that a lot of the roads are flooded there too. I am thankful that none of my kids' are flooded. Take care!...Christine

ReplyDeleteLove hanging out on your blog... many insightful and helpful posts!
