Hello to all from this little corner of the world. Sunday was partly cloudy with light blue skies and white clouds. It was slightly cool and 57 degrees. The weather forecast calls for temperatures to be mostly in the 70s until March 19, and then, we will have some upper 50s- and 60s-degree weather predicted.
My Easter cactus has a beautiful bloom. Easter is April 20. We have seen one Eastern bluebird and a couple of yellow finches.
We had a very good sermon Sunday morning at Friendship Baptist Church. The sermon was I Will Go. If God asked you to go somewhere, would you go? If you were at work and your boss asked you to go with him, would you go? Most would say yes, but what about God’s desire for you to go somewhere and do something He leads you to? Do you say no, ignore or struggle with the answer? We need the Lord every breath we breathe. I know friends right now that are struggling. They have lost spouses, face serious health issues or just do not know what the times ahead will be, but we must face each day as it comes. Look to the Lord and talk to Him. He knows but wants you to talk to Him. He is our Only true Hope. We must keep the faith. Nothing lasts forever except for death, and if you belong to Him, life continues on the other side. I will be praying for those hurting, struggling and lost. I am facing a couple of health issues now myself, but I know I must keep the faith and talk to God. He alone is our Hope and Faith. I pray you all have a good week and improvements come in whatever your needs are. God bless!
