Thought for Today: Monday November 14:
Let us try together to see things more and more from YHVH’s Perspective. Let the Light of His Presence so fully fill our minds that we view the world through Him. When little things do not go as we had hoped for, let us look to Him light-heartedly and say: [Oh well]. This simple discipline can protect us from being burdened with an accumulation of petty cares and frustrations. If we practise this diligently, we will make a life-changing discover: We will realize that most of the things that worries us are not really important. If we shrug them off immediately, and return our focus to YHVH, we will go through our days with lighter steps and more joyful hearts. When serious problems come our way, we will have more reserves for dealing with them. We will not have squandered our energy on petty problems. We may even reach the point where we can agree with the apostle Paul that all our troubles are light and momentarily, compared with the eternal Glory being achieved by them.
The seventh day is a Sabbath to YHWH your God...
Exodus 20:10
What does it mean to have a #sabbath to YHWH? Is it for his benefit? Is it a Sabbath from his perspective? No, it's a Sabbath in his honor. If you want to honor God, keep the Sabbath on the seventh day as he instructed. What God has made holy, let no man defile.

The Council of Laodicea in about 363 AD said "No others shall sing in the Church, save only the canonical singers, who go up into the ambo and sing from a book." They also said "It is not permitted to hold love feasts, as they are called, in the Lord's Houses, or Churches, nor to eat and to spread couches in the house of God."
LOL. Ok. Sorry, they completely lost me at Canon 15.
So when they said, "Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath...", I feel pretty safe in ignoring them.
Generosity is a prominent characteristic of God's favored people. Consider Abraham, Sarah, Lot, Rebekah, Jacob...
When Eliezer arrived at Laban's home in Haran, Laban recognized that the man was wealthy and welcomed him into his house, but didn't do anything for him. Eliezer had to care for his own camels and men.
Contrast Ephrom (who sold the cave to Abraham), Laban, and Rebekah. Ephrom feigned generosity in order to assimilate Abraham. Laban feigned generosity in order to get some reward from Eliezer and as long as it didn't cost him anything. Rebekah, on the other hand, was generous with no expectation of reward.
Genesis 24

In Genesis 24, Abraham sent his trusted servant, Eliezer, to find a bride for Isaac. Eliezer, who knew the heart of Abraham and of YHWH, asked God for a sign: "When I ask her for a drink of water, she will also offer to water my camels." Rebekah did exactly that in spectacular fashion, and she didn't stop there! This story reveals three important character traits of Rebekah, traits that God wants to see in ALL of his people.

I’ve started a 5 gallon bucket of “water glassing” eggs. Several friends have done it successfully so I decided to go for it. Freezing eggs last year was a bad idea. :-(
