Waiting…

In the scriptures, the word wait means to hope, to anticipate, and to trust. To hope and trust in the Lord requires faith, patience, humility, meekness, long-suffering, keeping the commandments, and enduring to the end.

In the dictionary…

  • the action of staying where one is or delaying action until a particular time or until something else happens.”years of waiting”
  • official attendance at court.

Day #5 Intermittent Fast still need more water and walking… fairly soon, I will be able to float.  Surprisingly, this has not been a hard thing. But then there have been no results either.  Perhaps as long as I am fasting, I should do that for reparation. Something to consider.

Bible Study class tonight.

Happy birthday, Jessica.

Know you are prayed for.

Laundy… a must

Homework for Bible Study almost finished. This week spells out the borders of Israel, as stated in the Bible. It’s been interestingly insightful.

The News companies are not doing their jobs. Once again, they are trying to lead us away from knowing what the government would rather we didn’t talk about.

1) biden impeachment

2) h biden hearings

3) trump difficulties

4) rise in cost of living

5) cost of fuel for cars

6) lack of workers

7) rise in give-a-ways to people who won’t work

8) illegal alien free pass (our poor would like to live this well)

9) ridiculously high rent costs

10) Where’s the utility discount for going ulternitive… only seeing a raise in costs

Etc

Know you are prayed for.

Reading Exodus…

20:23. Do not make anything to rank with me; neither gods of silver nor gods of gold shall you make for yourself.

Did you know an ancient symbol of obedience was a pierced ear?

Hebrews 13:4-5a. Let marriage be honored among all, and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the immoral and adulterers. Let your life be free from love of money, but be content with what you have,

Fall rain

Rain drops

running down

the window pane

Water pooling

On roadways and

driveways

Dry fields

Soaking up moisture

Temps dropping into

The forties

Wind comes up

Sneaking its way

Through the sash

Leaving the chill behind

As it sucks the warmth

From the room

Woodstove

Cracking and popping

As it warms

From the newly lit

Wood chunks

Chopped last year

Bout this time

Rocker, shawl, hot cocoa

Warm the insides

Fallow time

Is coming.
