This Too Shall Pass

 It is that time of year when the unexpected happens or is headed your way.  The winter wonders have arrived with force and widespread.  We have been through storms before with ice, freezing rain, and mounds of snow.  In some areas we receiving some form of ice or snow almost every 6 to 7 days.  If you remember the snowy season in 2009-2010, we had heavy snow with 7+ inches of it staying for days and then another storm behind it. We survived and did what we had to do.  Stay calm and prepare as best you can. 

Check-in on the sick and shut-in, elderly, and single residents.  The east coast has seen some bad storms.  But God always sees us through.  Stay encouraged, safe and use wisdom.  Watch your local news to stay informed. Please follow your emergency guidelines when your city or state has posted advisories.  You need to be safe but the safety of others who must be out working is important too.  Pray for those in horrific situations and help when you can. God is still in the mist — trust, believe and hope.

Sharing Valentine's Day!

 Hello Beautiful People,

It is Valentine’s weekend coming up and many of us will be thinking of that special someone or persons in our lives.  While we celebrate our husbands, wives, daughters, sisters, etc. pause to share a little of your heart with someone.  Many not be in a good place or have no one to share the 14^th with this year. We have so many who are now living alone or are now single due to death, tragedy or simple breakups.  A little love and kindness can make a difference in simply saying — I care.  Join me in making an attempt to reach someone and spread the LOVE this weekend.  

Paul prayed that the Lord increase and overflow the people in love for one another and to all we encounter.  Read:1  Thess. 3:12

Give them a call, leave a note/card (I think homemade are the best.), send a zoom or google meet invite, share a virtual cup of coffee. Use what you have at home. You remember those paper cards and decorated valentines from your childhood. We are creative people, brainstorm and share. If your family is doing well, then try a neighbor who may need a smile.  It cost nothing to chat or knock on the door to say a few kind words.
