Noah's Ark

Good morning to all, Does anyone LOVE the cooler temps as much as I do? I ate dinner outside with my fam tonight - grilled meat - cool temps - NO BUGS - and lots of love. I am such as family girl. My daughter and grand daughters come every week for dinner. I always try to fix their favorites. It's our family dinner event where we talk about "whatever." I LOVE it! Do you have times with your family on a regular basis? I know the importance of feeling loved and laughing hard. All these endorphins stirring up make for a happy evening. As I was reading about Noah this morning I was reminded that God has always longed for a deep relationship with his people. Even though the Earth was filled with wickedness, to the point of destruction, God made a plan of escape for Noah and his family because Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. But Noah was an obedient man and some felt a non-rational man. Isn't it funny how the world can see us one way and God sees another? I am certain those standing around thought Noah had been smoking something funny or had lost his mind when he started crafting a vessel for something they'd never seen - RAIN. But Noah had heard God and followed closely what he knew was the truth. The longer each of us walks in health, the easier our "peace" comes. Sometimes! However, choosing to remain constant in difficult situations is not easy sometimes. Is it? The storm "of the holidays" sits in front of us with 9 million candy choices and full, family dinners. Noah had a plan and he followed the plan in the midst of the storm. We can too. I would encourage you to start now making a plan, building your boat, and letting truth settle in your heart that in January we will emerge from the ark confident and healthy. As we spoke Sunday night, the holidays are always the most difficult challenge in our yearly journey. If you have any recipes to share that would help us all, send them. I will forward to the family. We're all in this together. I encourage you to start gathering your healthy recipes, almond flour, xylitol, etc..... we are 10 weeks from Christmas. Can you believe it? Have a great Tuesday! PK
