good morning from my neck of the woods. we had been busy getting ready for what was coming in the form of snow. we got just about 3 inches, I'm thankful it wasn't any more. we've had about 10 inches of rain in the last week and a half and now snow. I'm not one for getting out in the snow anymore, so I kinda had to plan ahead for meals and make sure I had whatever I may need in the house and not in the garage. this would be the perfect time to have an attached garage. hahaha but I guess I got everything we'll need for a day or two anyway. we'll see if I got enough. if I need anything, I'll don my garb and boots and make the trek to the garage. we worked just about all day yesterday getting a big piece of machinery boxed back up and ready to ship back to the company after it being a big honking dud. we had to strap it back down to the pallet that it was on and that pallet was ready for the junk hole, long before it made it to our house. but we got it done and ready for it to be gone and ready to get our money back. that's the dangers of ordering something. it was supposed to be free delivery, but we had to go out town and get it put in the bed of our truck and then we had to get it out of the truck. it was a fun and funny sight for 2 old people wrestling with this piece of machinery and then another fun and funny episode for these same 2 old people getting it boxed back up. we're tired to the bone. we're too old for this kind of work. hahaha but we got and it's strapped to the pallet and waiting to be picked up on Monday. would have been sooner, but with snow, that's not happening. maybe we can get our garage back. I'll be putting some of my baby plants out in my little grow house in the garage in a week or two. all 12 of my tomatoes have come up and they're about 3 to 4 inches tall now. I also have 5 of my pepper plants up. I'm thinking I may have to reseed some of the peppers. I'll give it enough time, but I really ought to be soaking some seeds right now getting ready because they all should have been up by now. anyway, that's in the near future. for today, I'll have my bread machine out and gonna make about 4 batches of bread to get put in my freezer, ready to bake as needed. that's one of my favorite things to do.
------------------
let's have our "giggle for the day", ok:
How do you make an egg roll?
You push it!
😅😅😅
yeah, it's corny, but I'll bet you smiled a little bit.
--------------------
today we start in the book of Job. I don't know how I'll do this. I'll let you all read it and I'll just share what I get from it. I had started early on going almost chapter by chapter, but that's too much like teaching a class and that's not what this is. this is just me sharing what I glean from the Word of God while reading it. so, we'll see what this gonna look like.
Job is portrayed right out of the gate as being an upright man. Job was a wealthy man of upright standing in his community. satan sticks his nose in and says that Job is only upright because of God's goodness to him and he wants to strip Job of everything that matters to him. his children and his wealth. God allows him to do whatever he wants to do to Job, he just can't take his life.
you know what, satan is still in that same business today. do you ever feel under the attack of satan? sure, you probably do and I know I do. so far, God hasn't allowed satan to attack me any more than can I can deal with, with God's help. satan figured that God would see Job's true nature if he had to suffer. I pray that if I ever have suffer as Job suffered, that I can pass the test of remaining an upright person who trusts God. God knew Job well enough to know that Job would continue to live a faith filled life. would I? would you?
why would God allow a good person suffer. there are a lot of questions. I don't know if we'll answer them all or not. I don't know what God is going to show me thru this study. I don't know what He'll show you. one thing up front to remember is that good things happen to to bad people and bad things happen to good people. we've all seen this, we see it every day. that doesn't make God unjust at all. absolutely nothing happens without Him knowing it and permitting it to happen, for whatever reason. I think we will see that Job was a man seeking the heart of God in all things. I pray that in all things, I will be a woman seeking the heart of God.
we will pick up back up in Job again next time.
----------------------------
well, that's about it for this morning. I pray that we all have a great day and that we will continue to seek after the heart of God in all we do. if we do that, it will be a near perfect day. blessings of grace and mercy be ours today. hugs and love, patty
