Janet:

QuoteJane, I have been thinking of your wood stove, and about how nice it would be to sit before a wood fire and share a cup of something hot with you.  Sounds so inviting!

Janet ... I've had a cozy fire going all day today ... come on over and we'll have a great time visiting and sipping a hot cuppa (whatever you want) ... Let's invite JENNY too, okay!  This will be fun! 

Yes, with this election in the USA being so very important, let's ALL pray that our Heavenly Father will be in control--as He will be.

I did see a post on another site where they were discussing this and it was as follows:

Quote

Whoever wins, the King is still on the throne. And He knows all that is going on and needs to be done. Hallelujah!

That was a lovely devotional Pat.  Thanks.  I always get such a nice feeling after reading one of your husband's sermons.

This has been a cold, rain & wind swept day.  I went to the Mall when Wendy went for her accupunture and got really chillled.  Had to get Misty a new collar and bell.  This time a colllar that does not break away.  What a scam that one is!!!!  Then returned books and went to the grocery store.  Not terribly exciting!!!  Oh, we also stopped at the Sallly Anne store.  I found a stove top convection oven for a big $4.00 that will save using my big oven for little projects.  Not like the one in your link Pat.....but works for me

Thanks Janet, not as bad today and that is good.  You are right about being able to relate to discomfort in others.  It occured to me that may be why I have had all this discomfort for so many years.....so could relate to what Wendy is going thro'.  There always seems to be a reason for things that happen....big and small.

Let me know how the Tai Chi goes, please Marilyn.  I am looking into a class that may start in January.  Understand it is very helpful.  The Sr. Centre doesn't have anything but it is at another Sr. facility.  Someone mentioned Rieka....looked it up on the net and it sounds like something New Age.  ?

Angels are an interesting subject.  Here is a little poem:

What do Angels Look Like
Author Unknown

Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes light up the world, when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you the wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered to share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you that it really is all possible, if only you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along, when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart, when you didn't think you had one.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes, all ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples, some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies teachers, students, lovers and fools.
They don't take life too seriously, they travel light.
They leave no forwarding address, they ask nothing in return.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed, but when you choose to see, they are everywhere you look.
So, open you eyes and count all your Angels -- for you are truly blessed!


Pleasant dreams all and God Bless.

Well, I'm saying Night Night a little early tonight.  I must take advantage of these times when others do the New Every Morning for us.

So, talk to you all tomorrow!

Love you.

Pat great devotional today.   Yes I to am collecting some of the Avon Angels

Hello to everyone out there, and as for the snow you folk can keep it all - snow is beautiful but with it comes all of the bad roads etc. etc. I will say that as a child I loved the winter but now that the years are catching up to me I do not enjoy the feeling of being trapped if you all know what I am trying to say.

Stephen thanks for the personal greeting. I needed it very much today God does know when to send his messengers.


Time for me to shut the computer down

Ruth

Revelation 14:14
There before me was a white cloud,
and seated on the cloud was one
"like a son of man" with a crown of gold in his head.


                                      BEHOLD OUR SAVIOUR

                                            Behold the Man -
                                      our Substitute, our Sacrifice,
                                                 our Saviour...
                                              Behold the Son -
                                              Prince of Peace,
                                       King of Kings, Lord of lords.

Bye love Ria 


                                     

Good Morning Jenny and Ria  

I too pray that America is safe from any evil today.

I do hope that people will get out and vote. It is rainey here now with just a cool breeze blowing, feels really good after the heat and humidity we have had lately. I am glad I did vote early, the lines just for early voting were really long, and it looks like rain throughout the day.

Well have a great day everyone and don't forget to pray our leaders!

A BIG good morning to all and for us in America it is a special day as we go to vote.  I am going to vote before I go to work as the polls open at 7 and stay open until 7 tonight.  I pray that nothing will interfere with this election and that things will go smoother than last time.  There have been many improvements in the voting process and many more have decided to register...especially in Florida where everything was topsy turvy last time.

My SS lesson this week is "GOD is AWESOME"  and Psalm 104 is our passage.  I love these praises to our Father in heaven. 
Ria,   you seem to have a busy day ahead.  Enjoy !

Jenny, I am coming with you to have the tea with Jane & Janet.  We'll have a wonderful time just chatting away

Good morning from Oregon.  It's 4:30 am, but I've been up for about an hour.  I just couldin't sleep much last night.  A beautiful thing.....everytime I awoke I was singing "Great Is Thy Faithfulness"  in my head.It happened 3 or 4 times.  I'd smile, knowing my spirit was with Jesus and worshipping.   That used to happen a lot, but not lately.  It's a very good feeling........to know even in sleep, deep inside, where Christ abides, active fellowship never ceases.

We are in Him, He is us.  One Spirit.  Hallelujah.   

In Oregon we have "vote by mail".   I pray this election goes smoothly and we don't have to get into all the legal stuff......stuff the lawyers are waiting for.

I'm concerned for my grandson who is staying with me. (18)  I know he is going through depression.  He is so quiet......just stays in his room watching tv unless it's homework on the computer or if I call him to eat.  He's a senior in highschool, gets a  4. average.  I try to talk to him, but he won't tell me much.  I'm praying for him fervently.  My daughter, living in Arizona, said that she read a thing in a parents magazine, re depression and suicide in teenagers.  He fit every single warning.    Today I'm going up to his room, while he's in school, and just pray. He was living with his dad and step mom and things were going so bad between he and his dad.  He asked about staying here "awhile" and I said yes.  I don't think he'll go back home at all. How sad, but I'm glad he came to me.  He talks to his mom a lot, she calls.

All this talk of freezing weather and snow and wind.  We sure aren't seeing that here.   Yep, I love the Oregon coast.

ok...gotta run and get another cup of coffee, and see if Amy(dog)wants to go out again.

Have a blessed day everyone.   Nita

Good morning, I think we should name this discussion "November 1 & 2."

I was grateful to be able to go to cast my vote a couple of weeks ago. I really appreciate itthat our state allows early voting for then I can go when my legs feel like standing in line, and often the lines aren't so long at early voting (except on the last day!).

Pat, I like the quote you found.

Nita, I'll be praying for your grandson. And for many others on my daily prayer list, as well.

Y'all have a good day.

Ruth Ann

Whatever happens, whoever wins this election - we stay the same and I know after living through some real duds as presidents of this country.  We all know who is really in charge of our lives.

Soni:  Just a trace of snow at our house - the wind was a real awakening to wintertime. 

Etta Sue:  44 - that is a really big baby!

Jenny:  If I read in bed, it only lasts a few minutes and puts me right to sleep. 

Hi Suzanne! 

Pat:  I looked at only three sites as two did not load all the way.  I hope you are getting enough of us to take the time to check out the ads. 

Just found out that two of our grands are "free" for the entire week of Thanksgiving.  Am considering having them here - we also have the tribe coming so I don't really know if that is much help or hinderance.  It can be both.  The other boy we want to visit us more will probably be with his parents in the mountains and they just miss so many family gatherings.  I have to keep remembering that he has a close relationship with his parents.  Thank you Lord for the opportunities we have in visiting with our grandchildren.  (I have a good friend who is estranged from son and three grands - her only grands).

Jenny:  It is very cold and I am concerned about the ones who insisit on sleeping outside but they want to be left alone - not trusting of anyone.  We could use better and long term mental healthcare in this nation. 

Carol

6:40 California time: Good Morning. Pat I don't know what happened to whomever was supposed to close las night and open today. But that is OK we will just go on from here. I hope no one comes and locks the door before I get this post done.

Jane, Jenny, Kathy and Ruthann and Janet, I am ready tocome and join you all for that hot cuppa whatever.

Not a big day  planned for today, no plans at all I will take it as it comes. I do have to go to the PT gym to work out for about 30 minutes on a couple of the machines. Work on PSP lessons and whatever else come along.

So  TTYL

Good Morning...

We'll figure it out in a minute, Marilyn...

I'll be back.  Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy it.

Hope you've all voted!  (You who live in the USA)

Pat

It's all fixed now!

Let's continue our discussion in our NEM for Nov. 2...
