Very pretty, yorkie, and a little sad also. I love autumn but care little for winter. God gave us all these seasons for good reason so I will try not to complain too much. It was a beautiful day today. Barry came by and we sat outside for a while and enjoyed that.
Once again, your picture is beautiful!! And the cat and the bird are having no problems either! LOL!
Lovely, yorkie. I have a statue similar to that from Pat’s funeral. I put a solar light beside it in my (so-called) flower garden.

Some kids love to brag about their dads. If you eavesdrop on neighborhood conversations, youll hear children saying, My dad is bigger than your dad! or My dad is smarter than your dad! But the best brag of all is, My dad is stronger than your dad! This boast is usually in the context of a warning that if kids are threatening you, theyd better beware, because your dad can come and take them all down, including their dads!
Believing your dad is the strongest guy on the block inspires a lot of confidence in the face of danger. This is why I love the fact that God our Father is almighty. That means that no one can match His strength and power. Better still, it means that you and I abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Ps. 91:1). So, its no wonder the psalmist can confidently say that he will not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day (v.5).
Regardless of what today may bring or the trouble you are now going through, dont forget that your God is stronger than anything in your life. So, be confident! The shadow of His all-prevailing presence guarantees that His power can turn even the worst situation into something good.

You should have been there to see Bro David’s face when his wife of 40 years stuck that tweedy into the song, he just stared dumb founded and said I never knew she could do that.
She was a preacher’s daughter, learned one song at a time, and that is what the church sang until she learned the next one, then they had 2 and so on, now in her 70’s she can still play but her fingers are stiff so she does not play often.
Beautiful autumn graphic, Meg. I forgot if I had commented on it or not but it doesn’t matter, does it? It deserves 2 or 3 comments, which sometimes I might do! LOL!
Well, if Nikki doesn’t go to the hospital before tomorrow, they are putting her in the hospital and induce labor. I’ll be so happy to see our new little girl. I wonder what my darling Braelyn will think when she sees her little sister. I am sure they will sit Braelyn in a chair and let her hold the baby. Someone will come and get me but they know I can’t stay there too long, so they will get me and let me see the baby and bring me back home in a short time.
Since that hospital is so big for walking, I may wait until she gets home and they can take me for a short visit. I may be able to go to her house by myself because its not too terribly far. (I hope she goes on automatically today.) I remember the good old days when we didn’t know if it was a boy or girl. I loved it that way.....guess I’m an old granny Nana!
Thank you to Everyone for the Daily Pings, Pics, and Posts.
I'm having a Sleepy Afternoon at my House, Lol,
But Need to Go Out and Do A Little Yard Work Later.
I'll Try it Again Tonight, and Hopefully See it!

Awwww..So sweet
Not long ago my wife, Janet, and I bought a quantity of beef from a friend who raised cattle on a small farm. It was less expensive than meat from a grocery store, and we put it in the freezer to use throughout the coming months.
Then a terrible lightning storm cut power throughout our area. For the first 24 hours we were confident that the freezer would keep the meat frozen. But when the second day came with still no word of getting our power back, we began to be concerned.
We contacted Ted, a member of our Bible-study group, to see if he had any advice. He canceled an appointment he had and showed up at our doorstep with a generator to provide power for the freezer. We were thankful that Ted helped us, and we knew it was because of his love for Christ.
The old saying a friend in need is a friend indeed took on new meaning for us. John reminds us in 1 John 3:18, My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. Sometimes this means inconveniencing ourselves to care for the interests of others or receiving that help when we ourselves are in need. After all Christ has done for us, its a blessing to be His hands and feet in loving one another.
