“Our places will be empty soon. Cheer the aged, console the desponding, help the poor, for they will soon be beyond your reach.” - Charles Spurgeon

It’s great to be back from Alaska and Washington! The Lord certainly displayed His handiwork to us in a wonderful way.
Psalm 104
Praise the LORD, O my soul.
O LORD my God, you are very great;you are clothed with splendor and majesty. 2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment;he stretches out the heavens like a tent 3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. 4 He makes winds his messengers,flames of fire his servants.
5 He set the earth on its foundations;it can never be moved. 6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment;the waters stood above the mountains. 7 But at your rebuke the waters fled,at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; 8 they flowed over the mountains,they went down into the valleys,to the place you assigned for them. 9 You set a boundary they cannot cross;never again will they cover the earth.
10 He makes springs pour water into the ravines;it flows between the mountains. 11 They give water to all the beasts of the field;the wild donkeys quench their thirst. 12 The birds of the air nest by the waters;they sing among the branches. 13 He waters the mountains from his upper chambers;the earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work. 14 He makes grass grow for the cattle,and plants for man to cultivate–bringing forth food from the earth: 15 wine that gladdens the heart of man,oil to make his face shine,and bread that sustains his heart. 16 The trees of the LORD are well watered,the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. 17 There the birds make their nests;the stork has its home in the pine trees. 18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats;the crags are a refuge for the coneys.
19 The moon marks off the seasons,and the sun knows when to go down. 20 You bring darkness, it becomes night,and all the beasts of the forest prowl. 21 The lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God. 22 The sun rises, and they steal away;they return and lie down in their dens. 23 Then man goes out to his work,to his labor until evening.
24 How many are your works, O LORD!In wisdom you made them all;the earth is full of your creatures. 25 There is the sea, vast and spacious,teeming with creatures beyond number–living things both large and small. 26 There the ships go to and fro,and the leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.
27 These all look to you to give them their food at the proper time. 28 When you give it to them,they gather it up;when you open your hand,they are satisfied with good things. 29 When you hide your face,they are terrified;when you take away their breath,they die and return to the dust. 30 When you send your Spirit,they are created,and you renew the face of the earth.
31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever;may the LORD rejoice in his works– 32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the LORD all my life;I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. 34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,as I rejoice in the LORD. 35 But may sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more.
Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Praise the LORD.

We’re having a great time out on the farm. The weather has been cool though they are in much need of rain for the crops. Today Kathryn and Dorothy go to “Crazy Days” in Slayton, MN. This is a “side-walk” sale and I’m sure everyone from the area will be there.
It’s beautiful out here. We are in farm country and you can see for miles.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Everybody,
We’re in Wisconsin now. We made it around Chicago in almost record time! We had a few hair-raising epispodes with Chicago driving, but all-in-all, a good trip.
Today we leave for Minnesota. Just and Joc went to Bible School at Grandma’s this AM. We have a 5 1/2 hour trip this afternoon, but if it is anything like yesterday’s trip, it will be quite enjoyable.
Have a great day!

Thanks to Jonalyn Chagaris, I have acquired the ability to hyperlink Bible texts. If you are reading one of my daily devotions and you come to a Bible Reference that is a different color font than the rest of the text, simply click on the reference and you will be transported to BibleGateway.com. This will display the verses that I have highlighted in the document. Once you are finished reading the verse, click your “back” to get back to my post.
Isn’t technology grand?
Thanks Jonalyn
