Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
LEST WE FORGET
Bible in a Year :
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Weeds aren’t something we intentionally nourish. But as I thought about it, I realized that sometimes we do water the “weeds” in our spiritual lives, feeding desires that strangle our growth.
Paul writes about this in Galatians 5:13–26, where he contrasts living by the flesh with living by the Spirit. He says trying to follow the rules alone won’t establish the kind of “weed-free” life we long for. Instead, to avoid watering the weeds, he instructs us to “walk by the Spirit.” He adds that being in regular step with God is what frees us from the impulse to “gratify the desires of the flesh” (v. 16).
It’s a lifelong process to fully understand Paul’s teaching. But I love the simplicity of his guidance: instead of growing something unwanted by nourishing our own self-focused desires, when we’re cultivating our relationship with God, we grow fruit and reap the harvest of a godly life (vv. 22–25).
Reflect & Pray
What areas of your spiritual life need some “weeding”? How can you surrender to God and walk with Him?
Father, sometimes I water the weeds in my life. Help me to instead experience being in step with You as You produce spiritual fruit in my life.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...have you and Tippy been able to hike and see the sunrise again?
Sunny most of the day here and it’s 50 now...lots of melting going on, thank goodness. I’m tired of snow.
Hi Kathy, thanks for honoring our allies on their ANZAC DAY!
Good evening, radu...hope you had a nice, sunny day.
Clouds are coming in now, but it’s been mostly sunny and warm.
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Hope you made it safely through hmp day. I barely made it. LOL!
I did not understand why Australia and New Zealand would celebrate Anzac day. I was told that the campaign ( and loss) in Turkey made them realize that they were actually sovereign nations and not part of England.
Howdy, Kathy.
It was fairly sunny today and pretty warm at 75. Nice little breeze instead of blustery wind, and that was nice.
The sunshine up there is really doing a number on the lake ice. There’s water at the edge of the lake now! Not all the way around but in several spots. The mountains of plowed snow at the edges of parking lots are hills now.
Starting to look like spring up there at last.

Thanks, Pro...our allies are important.
Evening, Kathy!
Wow, I ate with an Australian friend over Passover. I should have asked her about this holiday.
At last!! And I have a path from the garage to “the” bush out in the back yard.
Still waiting for my garage door rapair man. But he will be here.
Only 4 or 5 male ducks, and new ones, scared to come up. I figure the rest are paired up and starting their nests. Time will tell.
Howdy, luvie.
Hope your day was a good one. I reckon it was an AC day. It was here! LOL
