Dearest Yorkie, Thank God, Thank God you are Allright, and His Grace Kept you Safe! My Heart just Keeps Thanking our God; I'm So Grateful for His Merciful Love!

I'm about to have my Bedtime Prayers, and I'll Continue my Thanksgiving in them, and Catch Up on the Thread Tomorrow. Goodnight, Sweet Yorkie, Amy, and All at Amy's Place.

[yorkie]

Yes, two lanes are threatening - but this is a dichotomy - it is probably one of the most beautiful drives in the US. And, one of the most dangerous.

[JustAmy]

Good night, Kitty Mittens. Sweet dreams.

Seems that I am missing most of the thread lately .... well, I read it but cannot get a reply to everyone.

I think I’ll just need to accept it for the summer months.

[HiJinx]

I have to wonder why such beauty is also so dangerous.

We have several stretches like that - Heber to Payson coming down off the Mogollon Rim is one - beautiful, and deadly.

[yorkie]

Kitty, thank you! I realized today - that everything I have from that moment on, is something to be thankful for!

[JustAmy]

Hey HiJinx, good to see you. Welcome to Amy's Place.

So true. Some places it is impossible to enjoy the beauty because of the treacherous roads.

[yorkie]

Jinxy - in a way, isn't that how life is? When I think about it, really think about it - life is full of beauty and then, something else - right around the corner.......

Your graphic is a beautiful vision , Billie. Your poetry, Bob,
touches my heart.
Thank you, Amy, for this lovely thread.

Its early for me to be thinking straight but I just read the horrifying event you just experienced and it gave me chills. No, it wasn't your time....God was by your side for sure I think.

None of us know when our time is near. None are sure of the next breath. I heard a doctor say recently on t.v. that it didn't matter how old you were, etc. that anyone could have a heart attack that could kill them instantly.

And we know that no matter how careful we drive our cars, there are so many cars on the road, going in all directions, we never know what that other driver might do. No one ever leaves my house that I don't say "Be careful." Always when my kids leave, I say, "I love you, be careful". They sometimes jokingly say..."ah, Mom, can't I go 100 miles an hour?" They love to tease their worrisome Mom.

God Bless you, yorkie! We are glad things turned out well and there was a dozen angels surrounding you! I'm glad you're here!

[MEG33]

(((yorkie)))I am grateful to God that you are safe and He
delivered a way to escape the truck... Each day is a gift.
Let us rejoice we have this day.

[MEG33]

Looks like a fun time! Thank you for your beautiful presentations.

[gardengirl]

You’re so right, yorkie. We get busy, and we forget, with all the day to day things that we have to do, just how short and precious this life is, and how easily and quickly it can be snuffed out. So very glad you and your friend are safe. Hugs back.

Fire Mountain

READ: Matthew 24:36-44

Be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. —Matthew 24:44

Rising 2,900 meters (9,600 ft.) above the rainforest in Indonesia’s southern Java, Mount Merapi (the Fire Mountain) is one of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes.

As the Fire Mountain showed signs of renewed activity, authorities tried to evacuate local residents. Then, on May 13, 2006, Merapi spewed a gray plume of sulfurous smoke that resembled a flock of sheep leaving the crater. Amazingly, villagers ignored the signs and returned to tending their livestock, apparently forgetting that in 1994 Merapi had killed 60 people. It’s our human tendency to ignore signs.

When Jesus left the temple at Jerusalem for the last time, His disciples asked what would signal His return to earth (Matt. 24:3). He told them many things to watch for, but warned that people would still be unprepared.

The apostle Peter told us that in the last days scoffers would say of Jesus’ return: “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation” (2 Peter 3:4).

Scoffers are with us today, just as Peter warned. Are you among them? Or are you ready for the Lord Jesus to return? Ignoring these signs is even more dangerous than living in the shadow of the Fire Mountain.

Signs of His coming multiply,
Morning light breaks in eastern sky;
Watch, for the time is drawing nigh—
What if it were today? —Morris

To ignore the Bible is to invite disaster.
