O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrows wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all. The crows above the forest call; Tomorrow they may form and go. O hushed October morning mild, Begin the hours of this day slow. Make the day seem to us less brief. Hearts not averse to being beguiled, Beguile us in the way you know. Release one leaf at break of day; At noon release another leaf; One from our trees, one far away. Retard the sun with gentle mist; Enchant the land with amethyst. Slow, slow! For the grapes sake, if they were all, Whose leaves already are burnt with frost, Whose clustered fruit must else be lost For the grapes sake along the wall.

Thank you, Amy for the beautiful fall opening...We were warmer then suddenly cooled to 75 as the rain completely passed us by.
There were big rains north and east of us.
Nice mornings ahead though we will heat up to the 90s later this week.,

Hi Jane!
Everybody have a good evening, I’m signing off for the night.
To: Jane Long; All
Good evening to all at Amy’s Place.
Friday we had to make a trip to Palo Alto VA Center. It’s a 2+ hour drive from here in Modesto, CA.
We met with two groups to advance the medical treatment needs for ASL treatment. We have another appointment on Oct 20th and October 21st. It’s a long process to touch bases with everyone. One meeting is to establish the measurements for a wheel chair and new electric scooter. The scooter I now have won’t be sufficient once I lose the muscle tone in my arms and hands which is advancing each day. Some days are good and some are quite depressing.
Today was a good day but the weekend wasn’t so good. I’m unable to walk without 1 or 2 canes.
Just wanted to give an update on how things are going.
Praise The LORD for His Excellent Greatness!!!

Fly The Flag
Oct 7, 2014
Read: Ephesians 5:1-13
Queen Elizabeth II has reigned over the British Empire for more than 60 years. Her monarchy has been characterized by grace and class. She has diligently given her life to serve her people well, and as a result she is deeply loved and highly revered. So, you can understand the importance of the flag flying above Buckingham Palace. When the flag is flying, it means that she is in residence in the heart of London. The flag is a public statement that the queen is present with her people.
As I was thinking about that, it occurred to me that our King Jesus is in residence in our hearts as our never leave you nor forsake you Monarch (Heb. 13:5). As wonderful as that is to us personally, I wonder if those around us would recognize that He is in residence based on the way we live? If He is within us, that will show on the outside. As Paul says, we are to be imitators of God and to walk in love, as Christ also has loved us (Eph. 5:1-2). As we do so, we will display joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal. 5:22-23).
So lets fly the flag of His presencethe flag of His grace, righteousness, and loveso that others may see Him through us.
Lord, remind me that Your presence in my heart
is intended to be a public reality. May I so value
all the blessings of Your presence that I am
willing to share them generously with others.
Fly the flag of Christs presence to show that the King is in residence in your life.
The church at Ephesus faced strong challenges to their faith, unity, and lifestyle. In his letter to them, Paul clearly stated what their response should be in verse 2 of todays text. They were to imitate the heart of self-sacrificial love that Christ Jesus displayed on the cross.

Im Nobody! Who are you?
***
Im nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there s a pair of usdont tell!
They d banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
~Emily Dickinson (183086). Complete Poems. 1924.

Happy Gratituesday, everyone.
We have nice sun-shiney day today.
It was rather wintery the last few days, so this is a welcome change for the better.

I like the Emily Dickinson poem. I must have read that in school, it seems familiar. Back from when you’d read such things in school, that is!
