I pray that you and I recognize the God-given beauty that is all around us, my friend and brother-in-Christ TSgt Joe C. and sister-in-Christ Christine C Cullinan.
I pray LORD that we each recognize that everything YOU created has a purpose: including all vegetation including weeds, bacteria, pets and farm animals, marine life, wild animals and birds and each human being.
Open our eyes to the uses and benefits of the life YOU have created and YOU sustain. Open the eyes of people to the value of each human life and to respect each person.
I pray LORD that we each are a blessing to everyone we come into contact.
Enable each of us dear God to encourage others to be mindful of blessings especially to those who are grieving loss of any type. YOU work all to good for those called according to YOUR purposes.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

I sure did my best today to kill a couple acres of virtue-less weeds. However, I left many more acres of weeds to virtuously attempt to cover rocks on the mtn. :)

PUT ON YOUR PERSPECTACLES...“In desperate times, much more than anything else, folks need perspective. For perspective brings calm. Calm leads to clear thinking. Clear thinking yields new ideas. And ideas produce the bloom...of an answer. Keep your head and heart clear. Perspective can just as easily be lost as it can be found.” — Andy Andrews
“The grass is always greener where you water it”...or when it rains!
Good day RP Friends.
