How did the ice storm affect you?

We Lost our Power for 6 Hours on the Night of the Storm's Arrival, but I'm So Thankful we had Installed a Propane Stove Several Years Ago, so were Able to Keep Warm with it.
The Ice is still Bad Here, so we're Staying Indoors until it Clears Out.
My Heart is Grateful our Amy's Place FRiends are Safe and Well through All this.

Thank you to Everyone for the Daily Pings, Links, and Posts!

(((((Goodnight, and God Bless)))))

The Good And The Bad

December 9, 2013

Read: Jonah 4

The Lord God prepared a plant [for] shade . . . [and] a worm, and it so damaged the plant that it withered. —Jonah 4:6-7
Bible in a Year:
Daniel 11-12; Jude

The story of the rebellious prophet Jonah shows us how God desires to use both blessings and trials to challenge us and change us for the better. Five times in the book of Jonah it says that the Lord prepared circumstances for him—both good and bad.

In Jonah 1:4 we read that the Lord sent a storm. It says He “sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea.” After the mariners discovered that Jonah was the reason for this storm, they threw him overboard (1:15). Then God “prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah” to save him from drowning (1:17).

Later in the book we read that “the Lord God prepared a plant” to shade Jonah (4:6). Then we see that God prepared a worm to kill the vine as well as a scorching wind and sun to beat down upon him (4:7-9). These circumstances were used to reveal Jonah’s rebellious attitude. Only after that revelation could God directly confront Jonah’s heart problem.

As we face different situations, we should remember that God is sovereign over both the blessings and the troubles that come our way. He desires to use everything to build our character (James 1:1-5). He uses both good and bad to transform us and guide us on our journey.

The Maker of the universe
Knows every need of man,
And made provision for that need
According to His plan. —Crane
The Lord gives and takes away. Blessed be the Lord.

Thank you, Mayor, for our beautiful lesson in God’s Word!

If we would just remember not only to call on Him in times of trouble but to also thank Him when things are good.

Graphic by MamaBear

Christmastime Is Friendship Time

At Christmastime our hearts reach out
To friends we think of dearly
And checking through our friendship lists,
As all of us do yearly,

We stop awhile to reminisce
And to pleasantly review
Happy little happenings
And things we used to do,

And though we've been too busy
To keep in touch all year,
We send a Christmas greeting
At this season of good cheer.

So Christmas is a lovely link
Between old years and new
That keeps the bond of friendship
Forever unbroken and true.

~ Helen Steiner Rice ~
