Happy New Year, Amy.

Thanks for the birthday and new year greetings last year.

[JustAmy]

Happy New Year, DD.

Happy Birthday, again.

It must be time to hit the sack .... wasn’t sure I would make it to the new year tonight.

See you tomorrow ... errr later today.

[StarfireIV]

Six years ago
this very night
gave the ring
to the woman
who became
my wife

A quiet celebration
of the intimate sort
A kiss, three bottle rockets
and half a glass of port

A blessed new year to you all!

[Diver Dave]

Congratulations!

Best Holiday wishes to you and your bride.

New Years Eve will be forever a treasured time for both of you. This anniversary for you two is far more important than all the parties and fireworks. Just think that everyone is celebrating your engagement.

Again, Congratulations!!!

[pollywog]

A Blessed New Year to you all here at Amy’ Place.
A very Happy Birthday to you DD...

~Wishing You Blessings In The New Year~

May there always be work for your hands to do.
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine on your windowpane.
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

[MEG33]

QUESTIONS ...

It is always today ...
The moments we live now
One of the amazing realities is ...
We can make a new choice and turn ...
Our attention to important things ...

What is important? ...
Are we living for good or evil? ...
Do we know God? ...
Do we follow His instructions? ...
Do we love Him with our whole being? ...
Thoughts, mind, heart, love, soul, spirit? ...

Is all we do to please Him? ...
Are we salt and light in this world? ...
Do we tell His story to those who do not know? ...
Who told us, in the beginning? ...
What if we did not know Jesus? ...
Would we want someone to tell us about Jesus? ...

It their more for us? ...
Are we afraid to receive it? ...
"Greater things than these Ye shall do" ...
Are we afraid to believe this? ...

Then we would have no excuse for doing ...
Less than our best moment to moment ...
We cling to our selfish pride ...

"As for me and my house,
we will serve the LORD ..."
"This is the day the LORD has made ...
Let us rejoice and be glad it" ...
"

Happy New Year!

Hope you’re okay. I woke with a 101 fever (and the whole body pain that goes with it) yesterday. I may have been incubating it when I saw you, so wanted you to know in case you get it that Tylenol ES took away the pain quickly and after taking Tamiflu the fever broke in 4 hours. Still taking the Tamiflu.

I’ll FReepmail you on an update for prayers for the troops.

God bless you and your great niece in this brand new year.

[left that other site]

It was! We ate every bit!

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

I did absolutely NOTHING of value today!!!

Same here! (unless reading books on Patrick Henry and WWI count) It's kind of nice just to sit back and do nothing. :)

[JustAmy]

A Prayer for the New Year.

[left that other site]

You did more than I! LOL.
I am currently reading “Master and Commander”. While most of it is written in archaic nautical language, every once in a while the author engages in a metaphor of breathtaking beauty. I have to stop short, and read the description again!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Geologist.

Wishing you the Happiest New Year.

[JustAmy]

Hey dummie .... looks like you forgot < center >

[LUV W]

I didn’t do anything much either. I made veggie soup. Yum! :)

Yours sounds good, too! :)

Happy New Year!
