Have A Blessed Sunday

[Lady Jag]

Yes, it is a beautiful Sunday!

The sun is shining through red and orange leaves and the air is dry. Birds are singing like it’s spring.

Have a wonderful day.

~Rural Resurrection~

Along a cottonwood tree lined road
dusty from the breeze so soft
where the cattails climb to loft
their tips of pollen weighted load

A tricolor black bird sings its song
in a voice as clear as the early dawn
another answers from the miller’s lawn
in a sweet voiced tune that echoes long

The covered bridge creaks in the passing
in counterpoint to the stream below
and in that moment of connection I know
all the feelings in my heart massing

A whisper of the zephyr touches my soul
a caress, soft as watered silk in the night
and I’m transfixed by a beam of morning light
washed by a peace that leaves me gently whole

[Lady Jag]

Amen!

[jaycee]

Very lovely, L.J.!

*Time For Lunch*

In less than 48 hours, the polls will open - and I hope we all will remember where our Trust lies; it is not with politicians, polls, governments, who will win or lose.

No matter the outcome - we are grounded in something much more powerful; the knowledge that He is watching over us, in all things.

Matt. 10:31 Fear not, therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

Dear God, who suffered
torment, agony and death upon the Cross
to free our souls from the chains of iniquity;
protect and defend our troops.
Guide them in the performance of
their Duty.
Strengthen them to endure hardship,
danger, and deprivation in
Your service.
Let their efforts free the people
of Iraq from the chains of terror
and slavery, foster a lasting peace
in the region, and bring all to a
greater share in Your mercy.
Amen.

[MEG33]

Thank you, yorkie..God loves us and Our Trust and Faith are in Him.
Thank you for the important message and beautiful song.

[MEG33]

Amen, Conor,Thank you for the beautiful
Prayer For Our Troops

[jaycee]

Thank you for your words, yorkie! I have watched several McCain rallies today and I have been more inspired than ever. His crowds have become louder and louder and for the first time, I truly think we can pull this thing out! WE CAN!
