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!

Good morning, Billie.

This is a true story.

After my Mother passed away right after I turned 7, after about 6 months, my father with 4 children at home started dating.
He would bring his dates home to meet his children.
We vetoed the first few.
My future Step Mother brought over her dog, a small white Spitz.
It was her dog but when it saw me, it adopted me.
It was the best mannered house dog I have ever seen.
It never had an accident in the house.
The dog loved me and I doted on it.
My step mother also was great.

a warm/fuzzy good morning from colorful & cool Ohio.. Going to be sparce the next few days ..have some major computer projects to work on.. (part of them are hardware projects, softwarchanges, and some graphics work) IF & WHEN I get the baby put back together & going. Have use of a friend's' computer (at his house) for emergencies, but wont be doing much chatting for a bit.

Here is my contribution to warm fuzzy w/update on Chance. He is doing much better. Thank you all for the prayers. 1000 dollars later & lots of worry & prayer & meds & TLC...

Had an outing with him over weekend & having one today. He still lacks some of the energy/speed but he is a happy pup to be out & about

[DollyCali]

God Put You In My Way

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Luke 10:30-37

He, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" —Luke 10:29 In the movie The Four Feathers, Harry Faversham left England in the 1880s to search for his friends in the King's army in the Sudan. In his quest, Harry got lost and was near death in the vast deserts of Africa. Then, as his life was ebbing away, he was rescued by an African, Abou Fatma, who cared for him.

Stunned by the man's kindness to a stranger, Harry asked why his new friend had done so much for him. Fatma's response was direct: "God put you in my way!"

In the parable of the Good Samaritan, a priest and a religious scholar, whose calling was to help the downtrodden, ignored the need of a fallen traveler who had been left to die on the Jericho Road. A hated Samaritan, however, gave his time and resources to help the hurting man, displaying Christ's compassion. He bandaged his wounds, brought him to an inn, "and took care of him" (Luke 10:34). The ravaged man had been put in the way of all three travelers, but only the Samaritan responded.

As we move through life, we are challenged to respond to the needs of people. We will either show them Christ's love or be indifferent. How will we respond to those God chooses to put in our way? —Bill Crowder

Lord, I need Your help even to see the needs of people
around me and then to know how to care for them.
Give me a heart of compassion like Yours and
opportunities to express Your love.

Compassion never goes out of fashion.

Bible in One Year: Bible in One Year:   Isaiah 53-55; 2 Thessalonians 1

Morning, lysie.

I love the golden retriever..little girl pic.

Thank you. I've had the graphic for a long time (below) and just loved the sweet little girl, but thought it would make a sweet pledge graphic with a few changes. :)

[Billie]

I love your story - it sounds like you did indeed get a wonderful new *mother*, with a bonus best friend in the Spitz!

[Billie]

Good morning, Dolly. Happy to hear that Chance is getting better and getting back to doing the things that he loves.

Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you with computer projects - but nothing new there, huh? :)

[Billie]

Morning, Rus - how's the eye doing?
