“I will prevent pests from devouring
your crops,
and the vines in your fields will not
cast their fruit.”
(Malachi 3:11 NIV)
After my
morning walk, my husband called me over to a tree in our garden. A large rat
snake had climbed into a bluebird house to keep warm on that chilly October
morning. We are quite fond of George – he helps to keep the rodent population
on our property under control.

“There is no fear in love. But perfect
love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears
is not made perfect in love.”
(1 John 4:18 NIV)
I recently
received an email from the committee of our upcoming 50th year high
school reunion. Instructions included a nudge to connect on Facebook for
updates. I slowly passed over that suggestion. Should I reactivate my
Facebook account?

“For just as the sufferings of Christ
flow over into our lives,
so also through Christ our comfort
overflows.”
(2 Corinthians 1:5 NIV)
“Look at
my bone!” I exclaimed when, as a toddler, I revealed the noticeable dent in my
chest.
“Pectus Excavatum
is a condition in which a person’s breastbone is sunken into his or her chest.
While the sunken breastbone is noticeable shortly after birth, the severity
typically worsens during the adolescent growth spurt.” (Mayo Clinic Family
Health Book)

“When we are judged by the Lord, we are
being disciplined
so that we will not be condemned with
the world.”
(1 Corinthians 11:32 NIV)
We found a
painter in April to paint our decks and doors. Promise after promise
disintegrated. Six months later the Lord suggested I contact the painters who
originally painted our new house. They came and did a wonderful job, not
perfect, but very good.
