Pray for Israel



This was sent to me today, and I ask you to please share it with others who stand with Israel.  

"On January 15th, representatives from 70 different countries will gather in Paris, France for an unprecedented global conference. The stated goal of this conference is to promote a "two-state solution" as the way that lasting peace will be brought to the Middle East.

In Israel, there is a tremendous amount of concern that whatever is agreed upon at this conference will immediately be used as the basis for a UN Security Council resolution that would permanently divide the land of Israel and create a Palestinian state.

The UN Security Council resolution that was passed on Friday was one of the most significant events that we have witnessed in decades. Resolution 2334 made all Israeli settlements in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem illegal, it set the 1967 ceasefire lines as the border between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and it granted every single inch of East Jerusalem to the Palestinians.

This move that is being pushed by John Kerry and the Obama administration needs to be hindered until after Trump's inauguration. Donald Trump and his administration would have the authority to oppose this move. If they push it through before then, he would not be able to reverse their move.

Prophecy is unfolding in front of us, we are closer to our Lord's return than you can imagine."

The Scripture states that G-d will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse her.  

Please pray, Gail-Friends.   Join me and others in asking G-d to intervene in this situation.  We have seen great answers to prayer for our country over the last year.  I've been excited to see how G-d has worked to defeat the devilish plans laid by the deluded leaders of our government.    He has done that many times through history, both for our country and for Israel. 

Stand firm, pray, and see what our L-rd will do.

Sabbath Music - Thank You Lord


We're expecting cold weather this weekend, so I'll be staying inside where it's warm.  We're expecting lows in the forties Saturday night, and I'll be sitting by my crackling fire DVD, with my warm socks and enjoying a restful Sabbath.  I'm a real wimp when it gets cold. My husband laughs because I don't go out of the house till the temperature hits seventy.

This is the kind of music I love on Shabbat.  Thank you L-rd, is piano with Scripture and  I hope you enjoy it.  You may want to subscribe to DappyTKey's channel.  I did, and I love it.

Have a blessed Sabbath, and stay warm, Gail-Friends.

Thankful Thursday - 2016





2016 was a very good year because it was a restful year.  I'm thankful for my year-long season of rest.  Lots of porch sitting, reading and journaling.  The four years before were a long season of stress, death, and grief.  My body, mind and spirit needed renewing.  

I'm thankful for my porch, my pond, and long rides in the country with my husband.  

Golden Pond








Hubby drives, and I take pictures of G-d's beautiful world.  There's so much.  I'm thankful for eyes to see that glory.


I'm thankful for family times around my table.  Actually, this is my mother's table.  Having it here reminds me of all the times we gathered at her table over the years.


I'm thankful for our synagogue family, and the wonderful times we've had together.  This photo was taken the day Rabbi Jem baptized five young people.  2016 was a blessing as we saw eight baptized, one Bar Mitzvah, one Bat Mitzvah, and four weddings.  Glory to Hashem!


Laughter!! I'm so thankful for laughter this year.  That little boy and his grandfather are a constant source of joy and laughs.  The first thing our grandson does when he gets to our house is take off his shoes, then his socks, and then his shirt.  He feels at home for sure.  And that box!  It's his favorite thing to play with.  He's amazingly creative with it, too.

My neighbor's cat has been a source of joy, too.  He comes over every day for a visit.  This is one of his favorite places to sit.


and then, there's this:


And if you know me, you know I'm thankful for the birds.  They always lift my spirits and teach me great lessons.

What are you thankful for in 2016?

Thankful Thursday is my day to focus on and be thankful for all the many blessings in my life.
