The other day I had to have a fasting blood draw for some tests. When I came out of the lab, I was humming a praise song as I walked through the lobby. “Your promise still stands…great is your faithfulness, your faithfulness.”
The woman in front of me turned around and gave me a huge smile and said, “You must be really happy! I’m a singer, too. I’m always walking around singing.”
I smiled back. “Well, Jesus is always with me and we love to sing together.”
She stopped and looked at me and said, “That’s a really good thing. I like that!”
Yesterday was a busy day. We had our class picnic in the afternoon. Then, Mr. FixIt went to help someone with a move and I went home and mowed five acres. Then I cleaned the pool. When I mow the lawn, I use a pair of ear protectors that have Bluetooth speakers in them so I can listen to the music on my phone. I crank up my worship music and once in a while I have to laugh when I catch myself driving with one hand and praising with the other!
Mr. FixIt came home when I was just finishing cleaning the pool. He was kind enough to deal with back flushing the pump for me so I didn’t have to keep getting out of the pool to do it. There is a decided turn in the temperatures that have put the unmistakable tinge of fall in the air. Mr. FixIt said the temp was 54 yesterday morning and very foggy when he left to work on the porch he’s building with a friend.
And today is church day…my favorite day of every single week! See you this evening for Sunday Evening Prayer Circle!

“Yet we hear that some of you are living idle lives, refusing to work and meddling in other people’s business. We command such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and work to earn their own living. As for the rest of you, dear brothers and sisters, never get tired of doing good.”
2 Thessalonians 3:11-13 NLT
Ha! I planted two of those ornamental pear trees many years ago. One turned out to be fruit bearing & it’s the best pears ever! They’re so sweet & juicy but the last few years when the tree is loaded, the deer must climb the tree & get absolutely every last one! I planted two of these trees in our front yard…one was the ornamental but was destroyed by high winds last year. I didn’t really care about having a real pear tree in my front yard because they’re not very pretty but so be it! It’s been there about 30 years now!
