Wow, can you believe it's September already? Seems impossible! I remember reading something lately about "HOW MANY THAT COMPLAINED DAILY ABOUT THE HEAT THIS SPRING AND SUMMER! ... truth is, It Was HOT! .... BUT IT WENT ON TO SAY NOW THAT FALL AND WINTER ARE COMING.. THE SAME ONES WILL STILL BE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE HEAT yet maybe for a little while, AND THEN ABOUT THE COLD!" You know, that is true, and I for one am guilty!! "sad to say" I am happier with a happy medium as far as weather is concerned!.. But even with something that occurs daily.. can you imagine how hard it would to be the ONE to decide the weather, you just could not please everyone, and in trying, you wouldn't please anyone...

 "MY GOD, HOW GREAT THOU ARE"

MERCY, PEACE, AND LOVE BE MULTIPLIED TO YOU. JUDE 1:2 NKJV

 THANK YOU LORD FOR SENDING YOUR SPIRIT TO GUIDE AND COMFORT US, AND HELP US TO BE CARING, THOUGHTFUL, KIND AND GENTLE TOWARDS OTHERS. maybe somehow they can see some of   YOUR LIGHT in our lives and be drawn closer to YOU.
