January 1, 2023 frohes neues Jahr!

Die Güte des HERRN ist's, daß wir nicht gar aus sind; seine Barmherzigkeit hat noch kein Ende, sondern sie ist alle Morgen neu, und deine Treue ist groß.  

Klagelider 3:22-23

The Amplified version states it like this:  "It is because of the Lord’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, Because His [tender] compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22-23)

New! EVERY! Morning!  Now that's the way to start of this New Year.  May you walk and rest and sleep and live in His lovingkindnesses in 2023.  God bless you all

December 25, 2022 Quickshot: O Tannenbaum

 

Merry Christmas everyone! “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isa.9:6

Thank you for all the prayers.  It was a beautiful day, a lovely family-milestone.  Congratulations J&L.  

December 15, 2022 Cleared for Takeoff

 

"Cleared for takeoff," has to be one of the most underappreciate phrases in the English language.  A winter storm hit our little town this week so we watched for alerts on our flights with bated breath.  More wintery precip was forecast to hit at precisely the time we were supposed to leave the flat for the airport, 4am.  We bundled up and headed to the garage, one of us, whose name will go unmentioned, slipped and fell on their backside before reaching the car.  Unharmed we set off, carefully navigating the usually short, simple route to the airport with care but thankfully without issues.  Baggage checked, boarding passes in-hand, we watched the little display for any changes to our flight. Nothing!  Finally we boarded and heard that beautiful phrase, "Cabin crew cross check and take your seas, we have been cleared for takeoff."  Woohoo,  America here we come.  

December 11, 2022 Quickshot: Like wool

 

Woke up to a wonderful suprise this morning.  This Psalm comes to mind.  "He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes." (Psa.147:6)

December 1, 2022 Twofold blessing and a potential problem.

 

First the twofold blessing:  We are so excited for #J's wedding in just sixteen days, AND we're so excited that we will actually get to be there in-person!  Now, the problem:  Do we change our site name to 16 Beautiful Feet?  Hmmm, something to consider anyway.
