Happy Sunday to you, Three....hope you are having a wonderful summer.
First we are without any rain, then off and on, and then HOT weather, for us....70s to low 80s. Can’t make up its mind.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you and Penny get to hike today? Blue get to stretch her legs?
Overcast here all day...they say 100% chance of rain this evening. I will believe it when I see it.

We are still in the midst of a horrible heat wave, and Penny, with her very thin coat, is very uncomfortable. She is in the bedroom right now and the A/C is on.
I’ve been riding nearly every day but the last two have been threatening rain, so I’ve not ridden in two days.
penny and I haven’t hiked in over a month. It’s just too hot for her, poor thing.
I, however, did a bit of yard work today. Ungh. I am already in my nighty.

The Joy of Giving
August 6, 2018
Encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
1 Thessalonians 5:14
It was a dreary week. I had been feeling lethargic and listless, although I couldnt figure out why.
Near the end of the week, I found out that an aunt had kidney failure. I knew I had to visit herbut to be honest, I felt like postponing the visit. Still, I made my way to her place, where we had dinner, chatted, and prayed together. An hour later, I left her home feeling upbeat for the first time in days. Focusing on someone else rather than myself had somehow improved my mood.
Psychologists have found that the act of giving can produce satisfaction, which comes when the giver sees the recipients gratitude. Some experts even believe that humans are wired to be generous!
Perhaps thats why Paul, when encouraging the church in Thessalonica to build up their faith community, urged them to help the weak (1 Thessalonians 5:14). Earlier, he had also cited Jesuss words, It is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). While this was said in the context of giving financially, it applies as well to the giving of time and effort.
When we give, we get an insight into how God feels. We understand why Hes so delighted to give us His love, and we share in His joy and the satisfaction of blessing others. I think Ill be visiting my aunt again soon.
Father, You have made me to give to others just as You have given to me. Teach me to give so that I can truly reflect Your character and be more like You today.
The giver is the greatest recipient.
Do you ever feel that youre always on the giving end? Or do you feel youre always taking and receivingwith nothing to offer others but your own neediness? Take another look at Pauls words to the Thessalonians. See if you can hear the wisdom of someone who knows theres a time to give and a time to receive.
If you sense that youre receiving more than your fair share of help, does Paul give you any idea about what you have to give even while receiving? Can you see that in acknowledging graciously the hard work of those who are caring for you, God can actually use you to encourage them?
If you seem to be giving to the point of exhaustion, see if you can hear any gentle wisdom here for yourself.

I’m good.
But it must be going to be heavy, based on the number of does and fawns I’ve seen heading for the woods across the street.

Remember...Massachusetts is a TINY state compared to Alaska, so, although we didn’t get an actual twister in our area, we had some crazy downpours that were probably connected to the same supercell.

I hope you have better luck getting rain than we’ve had. It seems to have rained everywhere BUT here today. It’s been hot and very steamy as a result.
Won’t say I’m rested up from yesterday but I’m still resting. LOL! Been a low-key day. The last load of laundry is in the dryer so at least something was accomplished.
Still digging into this uniform stuff in hopes of being of some help at the museum. It’s astounding how many different uniforms there have been over the years. I’ve run across some I recognize that I’ve cleaned and hung upstairs.
