A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Dolly's Warm Fuzzies

Mom Eleanor & Granddaughter Summer.
July 2004

.

This is the last time I have seen my grandchildren & son Jeff & his family. It was a joint celebration of my mom & granddaughter’s birthday .. They are born ONE day apart (plus 70+ years).

My mom, I believe, looks very, VERY good for a woman in her late 80s.. Most people think she is 20 years younger. No wrinkles to speak of & a warm smile & pleasant disposition combined with a good mind still. It is just her body that has broken down.

Granddaughter Summer(isn’t that a pretty name?) here is 10. She & her family live in NC & she is a very bright girl & as you can see a doll baby! She will be a heartbreaker in years ahead I predict.

Well, these are two of my warm fuzzies & Thank you GeeBee for the thread!..

below is a picture again of Summer & her brother Jayce.

Turning Pain Into Praise

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: 2 Corinthians 1:7-11

As you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation. —2 Corinthians 1:7

After years of a remarkable and  fruitful ministry in India, Amy Carmichael became a bedridden sufferer. As the courageous founder and dynamic heart of the Dohnavur Fellowship, she had been instrumental in rescuing hundreds of girls and boys from a terrible life of sexual servitude.

While she carried on her rescue operation of bringing young people into spiritual freedom through faith in Jesus Christ, she wrote books and poems that are still blessing readers around the world.

Then arthritis made Amy a pain-wracked invalid. Did she bemoan her affliction or question God? No. Amy was still the guiding inspiration of Dohnavur, and she still kept on writing. Her meditations, letters, and poems are filled with praise to God and encouragement to her fellow pilgrims.

When affliction strikes us, how do we react? Are we embittered, or do we trustfully appropriate God’s sustaining grace? (2 Cor. 12:9). And do we prayerfully encourage those around us by our Spirit-enabled cheerfulness, our courage, and our confidence in God?

When we rely on the Lord, He will help us turn pain into praise. —Vernon C Grounds

Can God trust you with sorrow,
With anguish, and with pain,
Or would your faith soon falter
And faint beneath the strain?  —Nicholson

Praise is the song of a soul set free.

Bible in One Year: Bible in One Year;   Ecclesiastes 4-6; 2 Corinthians 12
