"Giving thanks to God for both His temporal and spiritual blessings in our lives is not just a nice thing to do - it is the moral will of God. Failure to give Him the thanks due Him is sin." ~ Jerry Bridges


Good morning. It is Thursday, January 7, 2021, and I bid you a hearty hello. Today is another special day in our family. It is the 11th birthday of our very first great-grand, Madelyn Joy, (Madi-girl). She is a very special young lady and we thank God for her. May He continue to lead, guide, and direct her life. Happy Birthday. Amen. ....Our love, great-grands, MiMi and Poppy



With Christmas Day falling on a Friday and New Years Day falling on the following Friday, the trash pick-up has been upside down, (pun intended), here in our area. They finally picked up our Tuesday trash this morning. We have a Facebook page devoted to residents in our area and they have been having a field day with the ongoing saga of trash pickup or the lack thereof. One lady posted last evening if anyone knew what was going on with all the spotlights in the neighborhood. A fellow responded by saying he thought it was the cops looking for the missing trash pickup people and they were getting ready to also put out an Amber-Alert. Of course, by leaving the trash out for three days we had the typical knocked-over containers due to animal interference along with a huge rain. I started to say YUGE rain but I guess since Biden is soon to be sworn in, Trumpisms will no longer be part of our vocabulary. But, the postings have been interesting. I happened to be out on the driveway when they came by this morning. The workers obviously have nothing to do with the messed up schedule. They waved at me and I waved at them. One of them actually returned my trashcan to me personally. I suppose having someone to come by and get the lined up stuff we had out there is still a pretty good deal when thinking about how it works in less fortunate areas of the world. I know. That sounds a lot like the proverbial 'eat your food because children are starving in _______ fill in the blank country', but, there is some truth there. Somewhere.


Have a great rest of the day and may our great God add His blessings. Amen. .....More later.
