Finishing touches at Dugay

Good morning, Up early, before the alarm.  Doris says I make too much noise when I get up and everyone else is asleep.  I don't, but will try to be quieter anyway.  Cool and cloudy, with a light mist - it is a beautiful morning.

Day 1713 - Living "MNTY" one day at a time.  Today, I will remember that God is never in a hurry and He is never late.  I am always in a hurry and always early.  I have spent way to much time waiting to leave only to get there early.

Today I am off.  After MMM I am going to the SSA in Ft Pierce to get a new card and then to the Licenses Branch here in Stuart to get a new drivers licenses.  Then we want to go to Bass Pro Shop in PSL.  We also will go by the Store and look at a lift chair to see if it might be right for Ray on our way to BPS.

Need to mow the yard and clean up the back patio too.  Doris want to cook our Sunday.  I will to the patio but the mowing will problably have to wait.  The roofers have not been back - they are stil waiting on the metal and and probable the weather too.

Yesterday was a good day.  Did what I was asked an a little more at work.  After work I went to Snake Road and signed the title and got a check for the Expo.  I bought the car for $300., drove it for over three years, and sold it for $300.  But I am back where I was with no car.  The Lord knows, and I know He has a plan!  And His plans are always for my good and His glory!!!

Tomorrow Is Saturday.  I will try to get some work done in the morning.  We are going on a river cruise in the early afternoon on the St. Lucie and Indian Rivers.  And then out to eat, probably at the Twisted Tuna.  I will try to get in a trip to the gym too - went Tuesday and Thursday this week.  Met Pastor Phillip and his wife there.

Sunday I am going to Joe and Arlene's for their "winter party" for the store staff and volunteers.  Doris doens not want to leave Jean and Marv, so I will just go and leave as soon as I can.

MY RUDDER AND ANCHOR!

Psalm 71:14 - But I will hope cotinually, and will praise You yet more and more.

Proverbs 16:4 - The Lord has made all for Himself, yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.

The Word is Alive in 1 - 5  (Reading Genesis 46 - 48)  Christian are to forgive, regardless of circumstances.

From "Knowing God" by J. I. Packer:  Evidence of Knowing God - When people know God, losses and crosses cease to matter so much.

MMM - just some thoughts:  (1) Live Life!  (2) Step 3 - tomorrow.  (3) What do I need to change - everything?  (4) Hitting bottom?, remember, every bottom has a trap door!

Saved by Grace . . . Living by Faith,
Mike
