strength for the day ...

i was listening to a sermon by david jeremiah (author of Slaying the Giants in your Life) ...  his message was the inspiration for the above poster ... 
the thought he left at the end of his message on worry was: “Don’t worry about anything, Pray about everything” ...

by God’s grace, we can try to do that daily ... especially since we serve the God who is “I AM” ... He’s not “I WAS” – tomorrow is finished ... or “I WILL BE” – that is the future – but I AM, as in the present – so He gives us the strength for today ...

winter has arrived

right after leo's doctors appointment - the arctic air descended!!  it turned bitterly cold ... so i dressed for the weather and went for a walk ....

i was completely warm enough - except for my sunglasses ... they fogged up ... then the fog froze and i had to take them off ... then my eyeballs wanted to freeze!!!  not a very  nice feeling ...  with windchill, it was -37C ... real manitoba weather ... and they promise some colder temps to come ...

leo and buddy played 'actively' (tongue in cheek) while i battled the elements ...

maybe they were the smart ones in our household!

first post of the new year

well look at that ... it's the 11th already and all my thinking of posting haven't made it onto my blog ... i guess i better just tap tap away to remedy that ...

it's been a wonderfully mild start to the year ... today is the actual first wintery day ... it's blowing 'n snowing and just plain COLD out there ... we were due!!! 

yesterday when leo and i went to his doctor's appointment, i was wearing a light fall jacket and just so thankful that leo didn't have to venture out in below zero temps ... then to top off our 'good feelings' - when we walked into our small town clinic, the doctor was already there waiting for us - early - with leo's chart under his arm ... can you get any better than that???  i think not!

i hope that the new year has had a good start in your world too ... blessings on ya!!!
