2023, A Quick Hello, Giving Thanks

Lassoed

Leave a comment

Just a Sunday morning hello 34713ef48dc4c42c53ae0edf1e4121e7written on Saturday night. 

I lassoed some time to catch up with my beautiful niece this evening and in the course of conversing, we expressed gratitude for the same blessing. A HOT SHOWER.

Just give it a few minutes of thought and you will see what we mean. It’s one of the greatest blessings we have in this opulent America.

Yes, a hot shower means we have a place, an abode with running water, not just running water but HOT running water; which means we have a power source to heat the water and faucets and pipes to conduct that water to us and if we have the strength and ability to get in and out of that shower without assistance we have reason to be doubly grateful. And don’t forget the towel and wash cloth and soap and the bath mat to step out on.  And the floor! Tile, wood, vinyl, concrete — whichever it may be. Sheer opulence, my Friends. Sheer Opulence. 

Let us give Thanks. 

This is not a blanket endorsement for the song or singer, it just fits well today, I think. :)

Take care, my Friends, Kathie

What to do today? July 4.
America’s birthday, they say. I am thankful, and grateful to live here. I am grateful and give thanks today for every Real Follower of JESUS who lives here in this Country – the few, very few there may be.

There is opulence and luxury here but now in these winter years how rich is this Country, really? It doesn’t seem rich to me in what matters. In what matters She seems a pauper to me. Poor in all that is eternal. Pompous and arrogant, flaunting sin like it is good. Even CHURCHED people are raucous in sin and unbelief. So quick to be entertained and distracted and indulgent in the same attractions as the world (pagans if you please). And if not participating, applauding or at the least closing eyes and mouths.

Freedom!
A people FREE TO SIN.
Where is the freedom FROM sin?
That Freedom attained only by the BLOOD of The LORD YESHUA (JESUS the CHRIST) BOUGHT for us with His SINLESS Life, HIS Death, and HIS RESURRECTION!
Where’s the allegiance to that Freedom? Where are the fireworks to celebrate the freedom to overcome sin, shame, selfishness, and idolatry? Who is celebrating this FREEDOM today? I know some of you are and for you, I am celebrating! 470858_480p_posters17

AND I’m not raining on cook-outs with family and friends, or giving thanks for the voluminous opportunities afforded to every person walking the sod we call America. I’m not begrudging happy faces and full tummies. Like I began this piece, I am grateful to have been born here, to live here, but these days I wonder if the blessings of America have become Her Curse.

Freedom!
It’s vital.
It’s waning.

Seek JESUS.
Press in Christians. Press into Your Savior and LIVE FREE!

Galatians 5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.  source   Read the whole chapter, it will do you good.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

The bird is roasting, the potatoes are baking; so is the dressing, the green beans will be in the pan soon and the cranberry sauce is chilling. 
It’s been a laid-back morning so the meal is a little later than normal; but, hey, we are giving many thanks. And we hope you all are as well. 

With JESUS love and kindest regards to you all,
JT and Kathie
