Exceedingly Better
October 26, 2017
He is the one who will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever.
1 Chronicles 17:12
My birthday is the day after my mothers. As an adolescent, I would scramble to think of a gift that delighted my mom yet fit in my budget. She always received my purchases with appreciation, and on the following day, my birthday, she would present her gift to me. Without fail, her gift vastly outshone mine. Her intention wasnt to diminish what Id given her; she simply gave generously from her resources, which far exceeded my own.
My desire to give to my mother reminds me of Davids wish to build a home for God. Struck by the contrast between his palace and the tent where God revealed Himself, David longed to build God a temple. Instead of granting Davids wish to give, God responded by giving David an exceedingly better gift. God promised that not only would one of Davids children (Solomon) build the temple (1 Chron. 17:11), but that He would build David a house, a dynasty. That promise began with Solomon but found its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, whose throne was indeed established forever (v. 12). David wanted to give from his finite resources, but God promised something infinite.
Like David, may we always be moved to give to God out of gratitude and love. And may we always see how much more abundantly He has given to us in Jesus.
Father God, I thank You for Your astounding gift to me in Jesus Christ. Your love overwhelms me.
Gods gift to us in Jesus Christ exceeds all gifts.

The items were collected by a gentleman over the past 50+ years and OMG, what a collection hes accumulated! Items from the Civil War up to almost present, from all branches of the military.
This evening, Ill be posting pix I took while we were there and if youre interested in seeing them, keep your eyes on the thread. :-)

Good evening, radu...I DID survive. 2 hard nights of homework, but made today not too bad, and I even finished corrections with a half hour to space. d:o)
Just waiting for rain to start.
Have you gotten any yet? Are the winter crops in and needing it?

Tomorrow will be my first day working on my own and it’ll be the long day, probably 9-10 hours but Wednesdays and Fridays will be fairly easy and much shorter. It’s a great job!

You were cookin’ with gas this week. All done with a half hour to spare is pretty darn good. Now you can relax a bit.
No rain the past couple of days but we’ll get some Fri. into Sat. morning. It’s just been right nippy.
Our crops are in and they planted either winter wheat or rye Sunday. There are still several fields in the area that haven’t been harvested yet.

You’ll be able to pull it off, no problem. But that’s a long day hauling heavy magazines and you’ll be more than ready to kick back in the recliner when you’re done.

This was my first view when I stood at the door of the building housing a large part of the military collection. The only reason there is clear flooring was because Hubby and the others had already been down there a few times and brought back several vehicles that were parked there.

There are still a few vehicles there that couldnt be seen from the door. All have many items piled on top of them. Here are a couple of them.
