"September 17, 2019" 

"Prompt: By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer's best of weather And autumn's best of cheer. Helen Hunt Jackson
What do you think summer's best weather is. What is autumn's best cheer?"

Helen Hunt was always one of my favorite actresses. I watched "Twister" at least a dozen times and watch it every time its on, not because I like reruns but because I like Helen Hunt. I think she is a beautiful woman and a spectacular actress. I agree with her about September. It is one of my favorite months of the year because the weather is usually nice and the trees are still green. I love green. I think it is so mch prettier than the drab colors of winter. I also cant think of anything as ugly as a tree without leaves. We will soon be seeing trees with no leaves though. The leaves will change here around the second or third week of October and be gone by the middle of November.

"Prompt: Can you think of three or more things that almost always make you feel better right away when you are sick, upset, or needing help in some way? Do you know or can you guess how and why those things succeed?"

I don't need two or three things, I only need one: prayer. Prayer works because the Holy Spirit answers prayer. Faith can move mountains. I was praying recently to get a good job. I really don't need the money, though that is nice to have. I need something to do with my time. I wanted to go to work for my church, the Salvation Army. We have a new facility opening in October called "Pathways of Hope". It will be a church based community center. I wanted to go to work there. I asked God to open the doors for me. Then I went and bought four uniforms to go with the uniform I already had. The other day I told my commander that I had five uniforms now and hoped she would give me the opportunity to use them by hiring me to work Pathways of Hope. She said she was glad to hear me say that because she wanted me on staff of the new facility as a case manager! God answered my prayer. Sometimes He wants us to show our faith by taking action, which I did by buying uniforms before I actually needed them!
