The Freeper Canteen Wishes Everyone

NEW YEAR WISHES

May peace fill all the empty spaces around you
And in you, may contentment answer all your wishes.

May comfort be yours, warm and soft like a sigh.
And may the coming year
show you that every day is really a first day,
a new year.

Let abundance be your constant companion,
so that you have much to share.

May mirth be near you always,
like a lamp shining brightly
on the many paths you travel.

Hi Connie,

We are staying home tonight!

Too many drunk drivers out there according to MADD!

RIGHT!

[RockerMom2MyHero]

Hi there, Kathy. A Happy New Year to you!

[Radix]

On New Years Eve, 1980 (or does that count as 1979?) I was living in a small village in Germany.

 

Prost Neu Jahr was the salute that was made everywhere. Where I lived it was pronounced "Prose Ny Yur." I am not sure if that was a local accent thing.

 

The Germans love their fireworks all year long and actually for some reason that particular night the displays were most amazing from my vantage.

 

That year 1980 was a big one for me. The future 2nd LT Radix Jr was born and I returned to the USA and was discharged from the Army.

 

I hope that the Canteen flourishes this year, and I wish all good things to all FReepers but most especially Canteeners.

[RDTF]

Happy Happy New Year!

2008 wasn’t great but 2009 will be just fine!

Live It!

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Ezekiel 33:30-33

You are to them as a very lovely song . . . they hear your words, but they do not do them. —Ezekiel 33:32

Each year, one of my goals is to read the entire Bible. While listing it among my New Year’s resolutions, I noticed a bookmark on my desk. On one side was a brief appeal for people to take in foster children. On the other side were these words referring to that appeal: “Don’t read it. Live it. Real children. Real stories. Real life.” The people who produced the bookmark knew how easily we absorb information without acting on it. They wanted people to respond.

Regular intake of God’s Word is a worthy practice, but it’s not an end in itself. The prophet Ezekiel spoke to an audience who loved to listen but refused to act. The Lord said to Ezekiel: “Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them” (33:32).

Jesus said: “Whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matt. 7:24).

How will each of us read the Bible this year? Will we read it quickly to achieve the goal of getting through it? Or will we read it with the aim of doing what it says?

Don’t just read it. Live it!

The Bible gives us all we need
To live our lives for God each day;
But it won’t help if we don’t read
Then follow what its pages say. —Sper

The value of the Bible consists not only in knowing it but obeying it.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 1–3; Proverbs 1:1-7

To our Armed Forces and their families, both domestic and abroad...we salute you and wish you the very best of new years.

Hi Kathy and All,

Happy New Year! I notice your tag line recognizing a Coast Guradsman and I’d like to salute my 87 year-old Coast Guard Dad with whom we’ve been blessed to have another year. He has ALzheimer’s now, but in the pleasant, happy, cheerful kind of way that is so much less painful than some who get belligerent. Mom tells me that he asked one of the ladies who comes in each day to help with him, “Does your husband know you come over here every day like this?” Great sense of humor after a life of dedicated service. God is good.

[stockpirate]

God bless all od our troops where ever they may be.

How our country finds such brave men and women is beyond me.
