Tee shirt vendors got it wrong! God gave us a new day . . . let’s be hopeful . . . thankful even! Attitude matters!

I awakened to a quiet house.
It was very early
and the only noise was
the soft sound of my dog asleep nearby.
Sensing my gaze,
she stumbled out of bed and followed me.
I sit sipping my first cup of coffee
and breathe in the peaceful soft sounds of the new day.
I don’t know what the day brings
but I know who brought it.
That is sufficient.

I am a northeast girl living in the south and it has taught me much! I never met a Doppelgänger (that I know of) but moving here introduced me to lots of large and small scary looking potential ganger types anxious to make my acquaintence!
HELP!
ARE THESE Doppelgängers ?
DO THEY CONSIDER ME DINNER?

FEEDING TIME
When your life is a circus, do NOT forget to smile
and be sure to feed the animals!

Jeremiah 29:11
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Some Disciples Have Floppy Ears
The Lord has blessed my life with the most adorable disciple! Beany barked this morning and I assumed a neighbor kitty was in the yard, but no. He was sitting in our prayer chair wagging his tail!
