This was the weather that my parents went to school in! I used to walk to school in the snow uphill both ways
I learned to listen to my wife!
I learned that Texans have no business driving in snow and ice.
I learned that having toilet paper is no good if you don’t have a way to flush it.
Believe Punxsutawney Phil
Texans are not like Elsa - the cold never bothered me anyway
we are spoiled - we live such a life of convenience and lushness. We have all this stuff that makes life easier and allows us to be more productive. Everything is so easily and readily available. What about those who don’t have those things? Orphans and widows
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;
If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,
and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?
He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor Will also cry himself and not be answered.
do we really need all this stuff and is it ok that we have all this stuff and so many others don’t. Do we allow others to go with out because of our lack of compassion.
kids are resilient - I really don’t think all this stuff affected the kids as much as it did us. Whats really important? How much do I really need?
I miss the church
and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,
not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.
How well do we keep in touch with one another
do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?
Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.
If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.
We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
We take things for granted
Rejoice always;
pray without ceasing;
in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;
for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
We are entirely too busy
