I am sorry I haven’t gotten back to all my pings.

Dave, Studley and my Lindy should get together (as friends, of course). She turned twelve last month, and he might consider her as the ‘grandmotherly type’ - LOL! He’s a very handsome yorkie. The photo of the water and trees is breathtaking! Thank you for sharing!

Kitty Mittens, you always post the sweetest graphics! (And, you never forget to thank your FRiends, here!) Hugs!

Majie - you always post the fun stuff! Always makes me smile!

Jaycee - I am so glad you are able to help Brenda’s husband - if for nothing else - just by being there, to share a hug, a shoulder, a tear, and good memories. (And kitchen goodies are always welcome!) Your stories and cartoons ALWAYS are more than welcome!!

Luvie; You are the computer GENIUS! Someday you might teach me a thing or two!

Lady Jag and Garden Girl; OK, girls - we need to have a wine tasting party. I’ll bring the Godiva Chocolate and strawberries!

Amy, Meg, Mamabear and Billie - your graphics and photographs are an inspiration, every day. Thank you all so much.

Hope y’all are having a nice evening. ~yorkie

Too funny. Your “time changes” hit the nail on the head!

[gardengirl]

**we need to have a wine tasting party. I’ll bring the Godiva Chocolate and strawberries!**

Sounds good to me! Don’t know that much about wine, but we have some local ones that are fairly tasty! Duplin County Wineries, made from muscadines/scuppernongs, the only grapes that will grow in the south.

The grapes make a mighty fine jelly too. :)

~Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place~

Matthew 6
25. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat (or drink), or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

26. Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they?

27. Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your lifespan?...

33. But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.

34. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.

READ: Psalm 119:129-136

The entrance of Your words gives light. —Psalm 119:130

As a high school teacher and college professor, I have observed that learning is a cooperative effort between the student and the instructor. That’s why educators try to get the student involved in class participation. The teacher does some work; the student does some work. Together progress is made. Education happens.

In Psalm 119, the writer suggests a similar pattern in verses 129-136. God is the teacher; we are the students.

Let’s look at God’s role in our education. He shows us mercy (v.132). He guides our steps (v.133). And He redeems us from outside trouble (v.134).

But first we must be eager students, ready to accept God’s teaching, guidance, and help. We should enter His classroom with anticipation: “The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. . . . I longed for Your commandments” (vv.130-131). In our role as students of God’s Word, we should fulfill three requirements: (1) examine God’s words for what they are teaching, (2) gain understanding from those words, and (3) obey His statutes.

It’s time to enter God’s classroom and listen and learn from Him. When we do, we’ll look at God with renewed love and at the world with renewed concern (v.136).

Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine,
And jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in its mighty depths
For every searcher there. —Hodder

Careful meditation on the Scriptures makes for a closer walk with the Savior.

Bible in One Year: Psalms 125–127

Thank you, Rus for today's and every day's Daily Bread
Have A Blessed Sunday

[jaycee]

I am going backwards on the thread.

Yes, I thought that was so funny! That is what I would like to do......the reports I am hearing this morning doesn’t sound good for our side but I am holding on to the hope that God will step in on this one! Good Sunday Morning to you, Kitty!

[jaycee]

We will put you in charge of that, Dave! That tickled me to death last night.
