Happy Sunday
Standing on my front porch this afternoon.
This is what greeted me this morning at the end of my driveway when I left to go to town for my walk.
Coming home she was still there.
She eventually found her way back home which is just behind her.

At church this morning a few people told me how much they enjoyed the little devotional I gave on Thursday at Blankets for Babies.
Thought you might find it fun too.
I’m sure we’ve all heard
When God closes a door he opens a window.
I thought that statement would be a good one for our time now because it seems
the door for us bringing blankets to the hospital has closed
but now we have a window open bringing the blankets directly to the doctors offices.
Tried to find where it said it in the Bible but discovered it doesn’t come from the Bible at all but from a movie.
Anyone know which one?
The Sound of Music where Maria says, When the Lord closes a door, somewhere he opens a window.
I think it is still true though.
4 years before moving here I had just found a church and started going again after many years.
I didn’t want to move at first because I didn’t want to leave my church.
A door closing.
I told Pastor Simpson that and he said,
If God is moving you, He will find another good church for you.
And that is exactly what happened and here I am.
A window was opened.
I thought it would be fun this month to take a few phrases that a lot of people say and maybe not realize that they come from the Bible.
A Little Bird Told Me.
We get that from Ecclesiastes 10:20
Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
Laughter Is The Best Medicine
Proverbs 17:22
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
I Am Sick at Heart
Proverbs 13:12
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
Saved By The Skin Of My Teeth
Job19:20
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
Like Mother, Like Daughter
Ezekiel 16:44
Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
A drop in the bucket
Isaiah 40:15
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
I'll end with this one, my favorite.
Isaiah 60;1
Rise and Shine
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

A Blessed Sunday to all.

...don't fence her in!
Such pretty color! Glad the cow made her way home!
Your devotional is very good.
Beautiful colors. Beautiful words. Have a lovely Sunday, my friend.
Karen, your devotional is such a blessing! Thank you for sharing it with us today.
Oh...and on our way to church this morning, we also saw a calf outside the fence of the field where it belonged. It was gone when we came home.
wow, these sayings are so awesome, I really enjoyed them! I even think I will save them, because I don't think I knew the ones that really come from the bible. your first photo of the beautiful orange leaves and brilliant blue sky is gorgeous! I'm going to quiz my husband, he is a bible scholar.
Beautiful colours and great sayings. Maybe the cow is interested offering its services for neighborhood security. :)
I really enjoyed your devotional.
That poor cow - I’m glad she found her way home. I have a soft heart for 🐄 cows!
Boy the fall colors are sure showing off! They’re beautiful
I enjoyed your devotional and all the quotes and their biblical origins. :)
Wonderful Bible sayings.
God bless.
Beautiful fall colors. It is funny seeing the cow on your driveway, I am glad it found its way home. Have a great day and a happy week ahead.
That view from your porch is beautiful. The fall colors look amazing against that blue sky.
I had no idea all those sayings could be found in the bible.
Beautiful autumn colors! And a great devotional!
God is always providing opportunities.
Glad that brought you to a new church and one where you seem to really be enjoying as well as find ways to serve. I enjoyed your devotional as well. I knew about the line from Sound of Music but was surprised by several of those...did not realize they were from the Bible. I know you enjoy scripture assembly as well. You mentioned on my blog the other day. We had a great time this past week...and had Brother Hummel preach on Sunday which was a blessing. It was a great weekend!!
Your fall colors are so pretty. We are just getting started around here.
How funny that the cow was standing there the whole time. It's almost like she was waiting for you.
Your devotional was very encouraging.
Such a good post, many thanks.
All the best Jan
