Lord Jesus, Help me Not To Mess This Up

The rear brakes have been squealing for sometime.  The new pads have been sitting on the work bench for... well... sometime.  Today I propped up the motorcycle and took off the rear wheel, fearing that this would be over my head.  You know the prayer, "Lord Jesus, help me not to mess this up."  I prayed this at least twice.  As everything was getting back together I noticed I had forgotten to replace the cotter pins that hold the brake pads in place.  So I received extra practice in removing and disassembling  the rear wheel and brakes.

After putting everything together again for the second time it all worked.  So, Thank you Lord.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ESV)
 

Thankful for the Farmer Style

Beautiful Evening in the West

Perfect temperatures and a beautiful sunset. 

Here it is, the beginning of June and God is giving us March, all over again.  

Thank You God.

Give Thanks

First of all, then,
I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and thanksgivings be made for all people,
for kings and all who are in high positions,
that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life,
godly and dignified in every way.
This is good,
and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,
who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus,
who gave himself as a ransom for all,
which is the testimony given at the proper time.

(1 Timothy 2:1-6)

I grew up in a thankful house. This picture hung on the wall by the dinner table. At Thanksgiving, I remember everyone sitting at the table talking, catching up on each others lives and eating, but mostly I remember this picture and the normal, everyday meals.
