           SUNDAY

Sunday eases gently into afternoon
the sun intense, I seek the cool of shade
the birds are practicing and all will sing in tune
to celebrate this day the Lord has made

Sunday is a good day to appease a friend
or share the many treasures you have stored
to be a little flexible and try to bend
and with the world to walk in one accord

yes, in the world and yet not really of
a little less than angels but we know
a Holy Spirit seals us in His lasting love
secure from mankind's wrath and evil woe

Sunday is a special day but we must try
to work a little harder and to seek
to spread the many blessings given from on high
distributing that love throughout the week.

All creation is an outstretched finger pointing toward God.

The treasures of the crystal snows,
And all the wonders nature shows,
Speak of a mighty Maker’s hand
That all in love and wisdom planned. —Bosch

Wishing Amy's Place A Blessed Lord's Day

Beautiful Dita! I have had tears listening to “Old Rugged Cross”. It was sung at my hubby’s funeral. He loved that song and had requested it years before.

See ya’ll later! I will try to do as your Bible verse said!

No Gripping

READ: Philippians 2:12-18

Do all things without complaining and disputing. —Philippians 2:14

During my first week of Bible college, we had several days of orientation in which we were given a rule book to study. Several days later, during a meeting to discuss those rules, one student stood up and asked, “What is ‘no gripping’? And why is it against the rules?”

He was referring to a statement in the rule book he had misread. Instead of “gripping,” it read “griping”—complaining or grumbling.

A rule against griping is perfectly understandable. The cancer of a complaining spirit can undermine the spiritual and emotional health of an individual and can infect an entire group. This can result in discontent, frustration, and even rebellion.

Moses heard griping among God’s people a mere 3 days after leading them from slavery into freedom (Ex. 15:24). Centuries later, Samuel felt the weight of griping as he sought to represent God to his generation (1 Sam. 8:4-9).

A complaining spirit can destroy the effectiveness of a church too. Paul wrote to the church at Philippi, “Do all things without complaining and disputing” (Phil. 2:14).

We need to avoid a complaining spirit when serving Christ. Instead, rejoice and thank God for all He has done! No griping allowed.

When things go wrong, I would not be a grumbler,
Complaining, seeing everything as grim;
For when I think of how the Lord has blessed me,
I cannot help but give my praise to Him. —Hess

When you feel like griping, start counting your blessings.

John 12:46 I am come a light into the world,
that whosoever Believeth on me should not abide in darkness

AN INVITATION

Come my friends out of the night
Believe in me and walk in light
Too many years the dark has reigned
Were nothing ventured nothing gained

The night has ended come the day
The light has come to show the way
Don’t build your house on shifting sand
Look up reach out and take my hand

Your burdens leave here at my feet
I’ll separate the chaff from wheat
I paid your fare, you journey free
In all you do abide in me

Forever revel in my love
Unto my mansions high above
Eternal bliss in one accord
Just trust in me I AM THE LORD.

Simply beautiful, Cardy. That brought tears to my eyes. The paintings, and one of my most favorite songs made such a wonderful presentation.

Good Morning, Conor.

We are having a Beautiful Lord's Day.
It is pretty hot but being in an agricultural area, this is what we need.

Hope you are having a Blessed Sunday.
