God Remembers

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Genesis 8:1-17

God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. —Genesis 8:1

A Chinese festival called Qing Ming is a time to express grief for lost relatives. Customs include grooming gravesites and taking walks with loved ones in the countryside. Legend has it that it began when a youth’s rude and foolish behavior resulted in the death of his mother. So he decided that henceforth he would visit her grave every year to remember what she had done for him. Sadly, it was only after her death that he remembered her.

How differently God deals with us! In Genesis, we read how the flood destroyed the world. Only those who were with Noah in the ark remained alive. But God remembered them (8:1) and sent a wind to dry the waters so that they could leave the ark.

God also remembered Hannah when she prayed for a son (1 Sam. 1:19). He gave her a child, Samuel.

Jesus remembered the dying thief who said, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” Jesus replied, “Today You will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:42-43).

God remembers us wherever we are. Our concerns are His concerns. Our pain is His pain. Commit your challenges and difficulties to Him. He is the all-seeing God who remembers us as a mother remembers her children, and He waits to meet our needs.

There is an Arm that never tires
When human strength gives way;
There is a Love that never fails
When earthly loves decay. —Wallace

To know that God sees us brings both conviction and comfort.

Bible in One Year: 1 Samuel 25-26; Luke 12:32-59

The second picture down, the picture of the warning sign. I was in Goldfield last year visiting in-laws. The test range runs right up to highway 95 there at Goldfield and the folks took me to take a gander. I thought it might be a good idea to jump the barbwire fence and run the 25 yards out to the warming sign, have them take my pic, and run back. They were adamant that the Esmerelda county sheriff would have been there to greet me by the time I returned from my excursion.

Good evening, lauren!
Good evening, all!

Many thanks to BIGLOOK for tonight’s thread!

On our way back from Arizona last year, Violet and I stopped in LV for a couple days. We toured the Atomic Reasearch Museum an the internal tour of Hoover Dam.

On our journey north, we passed by Nellis AFB, spooky place!

[luvie]

Oooooo....this thread sounds spooky! “Area 51” sounds so
mysterious.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Aloha Lauren!

A Movie Connected With Area 51:

Nifty thread lauren. Hugs.

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our AWESOME military, our allies, and their families

Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

Sorry to be so late but I've been doing a little bit of work and complaining to the airlines about some of their new fare structures. If you haven't flown lately and you usually book online be sure to check out the new restrictions on some of the economy classes....such as baggage limit and seat reservations.

Area 51!

Home...home...home......we're visiting our home.

Now for our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today....RAIN

~Tonight....RAIN

Eighty percent of all people hit by lightning are men.

U.S. Army doctor D.W. Bliss had the unique role of attending to two U.S. presidents after they were shot by assassins. In 1865, he was one of 16 doctors who tried to save Abraham Lincoln; in 1881, Bliss supervised the care of James Garfield.

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. And, remember – I’ll be watching!

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
