A Warmer Day!

 A Warmer Day!

 

So glad to have warmer temps and less wind! The kitchen drain thawed out and my attitude improved remarkedly. Even the hens seemed to have a better attitude! Still no grass, but it takes rain to make fresh grass. Maybe soon.

 

Have thought about Petrolia and our old home place today. So glad that someone has bought the place and will enjoy living there. The city needs some basic help with water works, but many small towns have that problem. In fact, many towns much larger than Petrolia have much worse problems with water sources. But then, this is Texas.

 

Thompson stood in the kitchen door and “talked” to me this afternoon. He indicated that no fresh food had been placed on their kibble. For shame! Mom is falling down on her job! So they got a good chunk of chicken in each bowl, and they looked at it and walked away. They KNEW they had smelled beef cooking today! Well, they will get beef tomorrow. Sylvia had a couple of bites of pizza crust, but she was not really all that happy with that small offering. Oh well.

 

Spent some time reading again in the study guide for Revelation written by Lehman Straus. Went back to read about the Nicolaitans who devised the system of laymen and what we would consider priests or ministers like bishops and such. God did not intend for that system to ever be used in His church. But it is in nearly every church today—well, maybe not in the Baptist church. Not sure about the Quakers either. Not too familiar with their organization. But it is obvious that God wants the individuals to seek Him and not some office or title. Sometimes, especially when thinking about my children and the grands, it makes me hope that my example will not be taken in the wrong way. Only God can call a person, but it would not seem to be a mistake to pray for our children and their response to God’s calling. We know that He knocks, but the latch is on the INSIDE of the door. May God the Father lead all our children to Him through His son, Jesus Christ!

 

Wishing for rain and spring to come soon. The ground is so very dry and the grass won’t grow until it gets real rain. Let us pray for rain and growth of the spring season. Meanwhile, may God bless those who have lost everything in whatever major upset we have in our world—floods, fires, earthquakes, and tidal waves! May our nation and its leaders be led in the way that God would direct them.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
