Good Morning! What a lovely last couple of days we have had.  Cool mornings, mild afternoons, it is great.  Carol, Mo, and I have been trying to enjoy with an evening walk, last night was perfect.  I am finishing the trim around the rooms with the new floor.  I hope to sand and caulk tonight, then paint.  It will look wonderful, I hope you will stop by and take a peek.  Enjoy the day, God bless!

“Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you.”.   Genesis 12:1

This might not seem like much for Abraham to do, but think about it.  I know folks that have not attended college because they couldn’t leave their home town.  This is a major move, they don’t know where they are going or if they will ever return.  It really isn’t about the move either, it is about trust.  Trust in God will ask us to do what we may not be able to see or understand.  Last Sunday many United Methodist Church congregations welcomed a new pastor.  These pastors went from settled in one place days before to moved in and preaching in a new place days later.  It isn’t about the move, it is about faithfulness to God’s call.  What is God calling you to do?   A message for today!

Yesterday’s question: What Israelite woman lived in Moab but returned to Israel after her husband’s death?   Naomi   Many guessed Ruth, but no winner today!
