Try this one, the photos are on the last 2 or 3 pages of the thread.
Thank you, Ar.Granny! I bookmarked and thought I had done that before! I have so many bookmarks, I have a hard time finding what I want. I need to clean up the computer but I never get around to it, it seems.
Hope you are having a beautiful morning!
A friend told me recently of a young mother who was trying to explain her father’s death to her 4-year-old. The girl wondered where Grandpa was. “I’m sure he’s in heaven,” the mother answered, “because he was very good.” The girl replied sadly, “I guess I won’t be in heaven.” “Why not?” her mother asked in surprise. “’Cause I’m not very good.”
The story saddened me, as I’m saddened when I hear of others who believe they must be very good to get into heaven, especially since we all know deep down in our hearts that we’re not very good at all.
Perhaps like this little girl you’re thinking about your sins and asking, “What must I do to get to heaven?” The answer has already been given: Jesus, by His death, has paid in full the price of your sins, no matter how sordid, tawdry, or shameful they may be. Your salvation is free.
God promises, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isa. 1:18). John Donne writes:
Or wash thee in Christ’s blood, which hath this might,
That being red, it dyes red souls to white.
No one is good enough to get into heaven. Eternal life is a gift. Receive Jesus by faith.

That is so darling, yorkie! Couldn’t believe the bytes, could you? Great to see ya! Hope your Saturday will be a good one. I’ve got the ‘can’t help its’ again. But I must keep trying~~LOL~~
I think the second one is even bigger! They were both so big that they crashed the optimizer site! LOL!
(You could copy the links, tho, and send them to your sister!)
Bless its little heart! I wouldn’t like it either. Its squeezing him too much!
Wow, I did check the bytes...boy they can fool a person for sure. I have probably done some of those when I didn’t always check. I will save those! Thanks a lot~~~
