On closer inspection you can see a bit of the daisies in your photograph, too. It does look like the same spot though.

Do sleeping/night caps count for Hat Day?

'course they do - should anyway! I also liked Little House on the Prairie - watched it every week when it was on. :)

[Billie]

Great buy on Marissa's Christmas Tea Party dress! Know she will look like a doll in it, too! Glad you had a good day together.

Must say goodnight now. :)

“I Did Not Know It”

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Genesis 28:10-16

Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” —Genesis 28:16

As Jacob did in Genesis 28, I like to remind myself each morning when I awaken that God is here, “in this place,” present with me (v.16). As I spend time with Him each morning, reading His Word and responding in prayer, it reinforces my sense of His presence—that He is near. Although we do not see Him, Peter reminds us that we can love Him and rejoice in His love for us with “inexpressible,” glorious joy (1 Peter 1:8).

We take the Lord’s presence with us all through the day, blending work and play with prayer. He is our teacher, our philosopher, our companion—our gentle, kind, and very best friend.

God is with us wherever we go. He is in the commonplace, whether we know it or not. “Surely the Lord is in this place,” Jacob said of a most unlikely spot, “and I did not know it” (Gen. 28:16). We may not realize He is close by. We may feel lonely and sad. Our day may seem bleak and dreary without a visible ray of hope—yet He is present.

Amid all the clamor and din of this visible and audible world, listen carefully for God’s quiet voice. Listen to Him in the Bible. Talk to Him frequently in prayer. Look for Him in your circumstances. Seek Him. He is with you wherever you go!

Oh, how oft I wake and find
I have been forgetting Thee!
I am never from Thy mind;
Thou it is that wakest me. —MacDonald

Our greatest privilege is to enjoy God’s presence.

Bible in One Year: Psalms 131–133

Man’s Best Friend

A dog is truly a man’s best friend. If you don’t believe it, just try this experiment.

Put your dog and your wife in the trunk of the car for an hour. When you open the trunk, who is really happy to see you?

[Billie]

Regarding poppies, I only wish there were some way to cut them, and keep them blooming in the house!

Well, that would be nice! Would be nice if any cut flowers lasted longer than they do though. :) A friend of mine ALWAYS has fresh flowers in her house - either a single bloom (from her garden) or a colorful arrangement.

What a darling Good Night, Esmeralda! It’s so good to see you here. Hope you’ll be around often!
