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.

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

Welcome to Warm Fuzzy Wednesday at the Finest. For those who start counting the days on Monday until the weekend, we're halfway there! So we're here to banish those doldrums and make you smile inside! Please feel free to post sweet graphics and/or little stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy - or just come by and give us a smile. Only two more days 'til the weekend!

Good morning, Dolly! Happy Warm and Fuzzy Wednesday!

[DollyCali]

Good Morning Conor!

you beat the ping which wasn’t too hard this morning as I am having one of my “where the heck did I put it” times finding the graphic I wanted to use for the ping..

so.. I guess I will just use one of the other ones! Bright & sunny here in NE Ohio. Must finish mowing (push, electric on over acre lawn) and weeding before doggie excursion today & then Chiropractor & then Bible Study.

The Adventure

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Esther 4:13-17

Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this? —Esther 4:14

When I was about 7, I was in the car with my mom and two sisters when my mother pulled over to the side of the road to study the map. “Are we lost, Mom?” I was worried.

“Oh, no,” she replied cheerfully, quickly folding up the map. “We’re on an adventure.” My sisters and I exchanged doubtful glances as one of them whispered knowingly, “We’re lost.”

Adventures can be fun—and scary. They usually involve a bit of the unknown. As we walk in fellowship with God, it’s likely that our lives will have many unique adventures—opportunities to serve Him. If we’re reluctant or scared and we turn down an opportunity, we miss out. Will God still get the job done? Of course. But someone else will receive the blessing.

In Esther 4, Mordecai encouraged the young queen Esther to help rescue her people. He cautioned: “If you remain completely silent . . . deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (v.14).

Esther was naturally frightened to take this assignment. But God used her courage and faith to deliver her people. Trust God to show you the way. Adventure ahead! 

For life’s adventure, Lord, I ask
Courage and faith for every task;
A heart kept clean by high desire,
A conscience purged by holy fire. —McDermand

Courage is fear that has said its prayers.

Bible in One Year:   2 Kings 4-6; Luke 24:36-53

[DollyCali]

okay,.. I will post some pix of my pets sometime today or tomorrow..

I enjoy them too.. I like the fun professional ones but my favs are when people post pix of their own pets...

[DollyCali]

Well, I normally post pix of Cali(doing very well PTL), Toby & Josy.

Today I thought I would let you know I AM A PROUD GRANDMA.. here is Granddaugter Summer who will be 13 in July. A grouping I did a few months ago

[Biggirl]

Thanks for posting back, and God Bless both our armed forces people and the wonderful people of FR.

Good Morning Everyone
Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday To The Finest

[ConorMacNessa]

Chained to the desk here. Weather is about 65 but cloudy. I’ll have to get to the lawn and garden over the weekend.

[ConorMacNessa]

Amen, Brother.

[ConorMacNessa]

Great lesson, Mayor - thanks very much!

[Shyla]

She is so pretty Dolly. You must be one proud Gramma!!

[stopem]

Good morning!

Wake up it’s WFW and it will make you smile all day.

[MEG33]

Summer is so beautiful, Dolly. I love her red hair!

[DollyCali]

Had a dogie outing a few days ago w/friend John, his two pups & my two pups. Here are a few shots... the snake is prolly NOT a warm fuzzy to most of you but it is one of the things you frequently encounter when you go in the rough & wild to hike etc. This was a big boy & was pretty assertive.

Josy is the one jumping & with me/stick. He is about a year & half old & a rescue German mix. Note in the pix of the jump the rock above his head. He could do this & swim for sticks for hours

[DollyCali]

Hi Shyla!!! so good to see you here.. why don’t you post a pix or two of your “kids”.. your’s are pretty “rare”

There is a meeting in Lake County Thur night (Heritage REpublican club) but I am involved in Bible study. Can send you details if you are interested

[MEG33]

It’s always a fun thread..I look forward to it,too!

[DollyCali]

Josy is Josephine and a SHE not a HE as I posted.

sorry

[MEG33]

Amen!

[DollyCali]

thanks Meg. she has a thick head of gorgeous hair! The pix I had to work with were NOT good.. they were ones she sent me & had busy backgrounds or were very dark. My photo editing skills are not as good as Billies or Mama_bears but I wanted to do something with them. I wish I could see her more Meg. Not close geographically & now with the separation of my son /dil, things are even more crazy.

Both have younger (MUCH YOUNGER) honeys & other kids. It is a complicated mess & all I can do is pray for them all at this point

Summer is a very intelligent girl but it saddens me to see that the emphais her mom is putting is on cheerleading (and she is good, won national title last month) but NOT the academic as much. She is in AT classes & all A’s at this point

I have nightmares of her turning into a Paris Hilton (horrors) but a poor one

[Shyla]

Here is one for you Dolly -

[MEG33]

That’s a bit of a stretch! I doubt you have to be worried about her! I am so sorry your son’s marriage did not survive.. I know that is a heartache..

[DollyCali]

Courage is fear that has said its prayers.

thanks for the daily bread rus.. good one. It is always a nice break to read your offerings each day.

New look I have noted also.

got that cement truck all ready ? (I was one that hoped you would keep the distinctive color)

[DollyCali]

oh GORGEOUS.. is that one “shyla” as a pup?

(for everyone’s info these are wolves - pets)

[GodBlessUSA]

This is warm and fuzzy....all but the last picture ;)
Actually it’s a great photo (((Dolly)))

[GodBlessUSA]

She’s a gorgeous young Lady Dolly. :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning The Mayor
This is terrific... Courage is fear that has said its prayers. Thanks :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning (((Meg)))
Cute picture! :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning Stopem :)
It's a beautiful day. I'm off to the garden center. I hope you have a great day!

[MEG33]

Some Warm Fuzzy
Puppies For You

[MEG33]

;0) Have fun at the garden center!

[LUV W]

How much fun it looked like you guys were having. I still really like your new hair-do! It’s so bouncy and cute!

[MEG33]

I love your outing pictures..I MUST get off the computer now!

[Feiny]

I even liked the snake photo
Great Shot
looks ready to strike

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

Good morning, All. Oops, good afternoon.

The sun is shining and I put out my tropicals. Thanks for your expert advice, DollyCali. I think they all survived winter indoors, but the lemon tree is looking "not quite pretty" at this stage.

[DollyCali]

My tropical have been outdoors for a few weeks and ALL look bad, scrawny & beaten up. It takes over a month for them to look decent & fill out.. then they have a few months to thrive outside before the frost & dragging them into the house again for winter.

I keep thinking I want a greenhouse in next home(had a BIG one in NC).. but now rather think I would prefer to live in tropics & just skip the in/out stuff.

Have a good day. I need to get lunch for mom & me & leave for dog hike w/friend.

[Majie Purple]

Sheesh! I just realized I put my starter W F W pings over on the Mil. Mon Thead! I need a break I guss BBL to continue but next time on thr right day...LOL!

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

I would prefer to live in tropics ....

Sounds good. One big greenhouse.

Kitten With a Mirror

There is a Cat in the Glass and its looking right at me. I hiss at it and try to look behind but its just never there. I stand high up to match his paws. That cat must surely see how very important that finding him can be. He sort of looks familiar and always seems to change. That kitten in the mirror is such a pest to me. Joyce N.Santos

[Kitty Mittens]

I just Went and Looked at your Profile Page, (I'd Only Seen it Once a Few Months Ago) and you have One of the Best Ones I've Ever Seen! I Need to Gather Up the Wonderful Gifs my FRiends have Given me over the Last Few Years and Put them on my Page; they are Sprinkled through my Email Folders and on my Laptop Hard Drives.

So Glad you are Back, Sweet (((((Purple)))))!

[Badeye]

Those pictures could have been taken on our property here in Southern Ohio...and you’d find my wife with the dogs playing in similiar manner come to think of it.

[LUV W]

That is the most adorable picture I have ever seen!

[Kitty Mittens]

LOL, that's Adorable, (((((Lady Jag)))))!

[Majie Purple]

Thanks ever so for Your beyond the Threads Friendship and for Your constant cheery comments & pic pings Caring Kitty! Thanks also for the compliment re: my P P.

[Majie Purple]

Oh and...HUGS in return!
