Our hot water in London has been on and off in spurts until we got a new boiler lately, and I"m just thinking about how out of sorts I was about that, when I should have been counting my blessings about so many gifts I have.

I've had a few stretches of them in my life, so I know that clinging to the Lord is the best possible preventative measure, as well as sustaining measure. <br /><br />When I watch the news & consider the Lord's word, I can't help but think about the day that is coming when everything we know & treasure will be threatened (if it isn't already). <br /><br />Preparedness begins in the heart, doesn't it?<br /><br />Great reminder.

Read your Bible and pray every day; put on the armor of God and be ready.<br />BTW, sheep are just like people; at least, my sheep are like people. Some are friendly, some distant, some sweet, some wild, some come when called while others flee.

However, when the insulation in our lives is taken away, the response we choose says much about our character.

Have everything they desire and want, WHEN they want it....and are surprised when that doesn't happen sometimes.

It is quite frightening to think how easily those comforts could be taken away and the fact we couldn't handle it.
