SWORDS OF IRON. 354 DAYS OF WAR. & ARROWS OF THE NORTH.(1)

A New designation to the action in Lebanon: ARROWS OF THE NORTH. 

Pomegranate

NAHARIYA, ISRAEL. TUESDAY. 

Psalm 117 

Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!


For His merciful kindness is great toward us,
And the truth of the
Lord endures forever.

Praise the Lord!

During the night rockets hit our sky, no sirens, but it was noisy, 
but then it quieted down.  The young men came out of the 
synagouge after their midnight prayers and shofar blowing 
and started the shouting and letting off steam.  
Needless to say that we did not get much sleep.   
Morning was welcomed by a siren, which usually does not 
sound in Nahariya. 
Since than, the border is full of booming, shooting small arms, 
and overhead flying army plans.
  
I am drinking my healthy shake and praying for peace.

Years ago while in Canada, we had our home business, 
a Cottage Industry. I learned at that time to treat my home 
like an office and my time as a valuable commodity. 
After all, we were the CEO and the President of our business.  
I am reminded to do that today. 
The house is in order, all dishes are done and put away, 
the bed is made and while Willie went shopping, again, 
I showered and dressed and am ready for the day. 
This is the only 24.09.2024 that I have and whatever God 
wants me to do today, I am now ready for it. 
Being prepared that way, gives a person a boost. It makes one 
wants to live, to experience, to create.  
The barrage of the noises and fear can easily cause 
depression. I don't want to waste my time being depressed. 
I chose to live this day and to be a happy child of God, 
busy with His tasks for me today.  

During WW1 soldiers called on the battle field, 
“Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition”. 
I second that for me. 
God, I am ready for the day, 

pass the ammunitions
and please be with me in the battle .

I was so pleased to get your email today and know that all the reports I am seeing of all the carnage in Israel is mostly leaving you and Willie alone. I pray for you both often. ... Thank you so much for posting your encouragement today. I needed it today. Blessings and prayers from Victoria.
