Good Afternoon, Mayor

What a God we have to worship!
What a Son we have to praise!
What a future lies before us—
Everlasting, love-filled days! —Maynard
Thank you for this beautiful message
Wishing you a blessed Sunday.

Hi Meg. We just got the internet back up, there was a huge problem all over the area.

I am glad you are up and running..I know you are here every day unless there is a big problem..Better it be the internet than illness!(((HUGS)))

[MEG33]

Thank you, (((yorkie)))..Be good to yourself..I know you are concerned.

Very pretty, yorkie! (ahem) Going to lay down. I think Meg and I are related...LOL! I have never heard you say that you are taking a nap! Of course, I have been up and running a long time now. I cleaned up everything but dishes and will do that later. Some for the dishwasher and some by hand. I am waiting now for a load of clothes to come out of the dryer before I lay down.

Hello L.J.!

[yorkie]

I have had maybe three naps in the past year. I just don’t get sleepy in the day.

I’m going to run to the store, and pick up a few sale items - and I’ll see y’all later.

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.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

You Meaner Beauties of the Night

You meaner beauties of the night,
That poorly satisfy our eyes
More by your number than your light;
You common people of the skies,
What are you when the sun shall rise?

You curious chanters of the wood,
That warble forth Dame Nature's lays,
Thinking your voices understood
By your weak accents; what's your praise
When Philomel her voice shall raise?

You violets that first appear,
By your pure purple mantles known,
Like the proud virgins of the year,
As if the spring were all your own;
What are you when the rose is blown?

So, when my mistress shall be seen
In form and beauty of her mind,
By virtue first, then choice, a queen,
Tell me, if she were not design'd
Th' eclipse and glory of her kind?

Sir Henery Wotton

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 Duties.
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.

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

Have a Blessed Lord’s Day!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Now THAT sounds like a plan!

[luvie]

Prayers that your DIL will be ok and will be well soon and that it is not that dangerous strain of flu!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Blessed Sunday to you all.

Almighty Father,
Who in your great mercy gladdened the disciples with the sight of the risen Lord:
Give us such knowledge of his presence with us,
That we may be strengthened and sustained by His risen life
And serve you continually in righteousness and truth;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Sunday Prayer

[yorkie]

Do they have it contained yet?
