Good evening, Lori.

Thank you for those kind words.

Thank you for taking care of the hostess duties yesterday and again today. Now about tomorrow ...... (*grin*)

I will stop by as often as possible tomorrow but this is my first tea party so I may be busy. :)

I hope to get a couple of pictures to post. Marissa-lissa is excited about having this tea.

[JustAmy]

LOL

I doubt that the Chamber or the Farm Bureau will ever hire either of us.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Hey, I love grapes; it is just the dried variety that does not appeal to me. I don't like figs either; dried or fresh.

Marissa-lissa is excited about having this tea.

I bet she is. And I just know she is going to be a perfect little hostess.

Amy will be taking pictures, I hope.

Yep, same with me.

[JustAmy]

I hope to get a couple of good pictures. If so, I will post them tomorrow night.

I doubt that the Chamber or the Farm Bureau will ever hire either of us.

Well, maybe there is hope for us in cotton or milk promotion. LOL. I like both of those things.

[Mama_Bear]

I hope to get a couple of good pictures.

Okay, I look forward to them. I am off to bed. Good night, Amy.

[tuliptree76]

I'ts my bed time. Good night!

[JustAmy]

Good night, Lori. Pleasant dreams.

See you tomorrow.

[JustAmy]

Good night, Tulip. Sweet dreams.

Hope to see you tomorrow night.

[JustAmy]

We will be spending Easter Weekend on our new thread. Hope you come see us this weekend.

Thanks very much for the Limerick about Toffy.

CAT HAIKU

Gliding silently
through the night. Prey cannot hide
from the Hunter's sight.

Bath Day is the worst!
Stuck in the tub. Shower door closed.
No way to escape!

Dust motes everywhere.
Why, yes. I had to attack
the vacuum cleaner!

Paws sliding over
luscious paper. So, that's a
Playboy Centerfold!

Flexing and pulling
my claws. Paper shredding. What's
a Form 1040?

I've never been able to write Haiku. Its poetic touch escapes me ;-(

King Of Our Lives

Read:
John 19:16-22

I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. -1 Corinthians 15:3

Bible In One Year: Ruth 1-4

More than 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem, Pontius Pilate commanded that a placard be placed on the cross that read: "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." Perhaps Pilate sought to induce fear among the people and discourage them from crowning their own king.

King of the Jews. Was it an original thought at the time? Perhaps it had been introduced when the wise men asked, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?" (Matthew 2:2). They had sought the fulfillment of this promise: "For unto us a Child is born . . . ; the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). They believed Jesus was this Child.

Later, when Christ was crucified, some jeered, "If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross" (Matthew 27:40). They wanted to see if Jesus really was King. But Jesus did not come down. The true meaning of the cross is that "Christ died for our sins" (1 Corinthians 15:3). He who paid the penalty of our sins has made God's forgiveness possible.

Those who accept God's forgiveness and ask Jesus Christ to be their Savior and Lord can have only one appropriate response-to serve Him. He is King of our lives. -Albert Lee

King of my life I crown Thee now-
Thine shall the glory be;
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary. -Hussey

Jesus is King of our lives, so we must serve Him all of our lives.
