I hope everyone had a cozy and gracious day at Thanksgiving, I was in awe of the love and care of the people around me,specially at the firehouse as I was not feeling well, and I felt their compassion that drives in them to be a firefighter, like my husband. Truly, the best of the holidays is to see the reflection of the spirit and the hearts of people, who are made in God's image. 

Well, now, here is more of Ezekiel:

• "This is what the Sovereign Lord says: This is an illustration of what will happen to Jerusalem. I place her at the center of the nations, but she has rebelled against my regulations and decrees and has been even more wicked than the surrounding nations."5:5-6
• "But I will let a few of my people escape destruction, and they will scattered among the nations of the world. Then when they are exiled among the nations, they will remember me. They will recognize how hurt I am by their unfaithful hearts and lustful eyes that long for their idols. Then at last they will hate themselves for all their detestable sins."6:8-9
• "Go in, he said and see the wicked and detestable sins they are committing in there! So I went in and saw the walls engraved with all kinds of crawling animals and detestable creatures. I also saw the various idols worshiped by the people of Israel."8:9-10
• "Then he brought me into the inner courtyard of the Lord's temple. At the entrance to the sanctuary, between the entry room and the bronze altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs to the sanctuary of the Lord. They were facing east, bowing low to the ground, worshipping the sun!" 8:16

Before I go to continue baking sugar cookies here is one of my favorite quotes lately:
