How beautiful today’s opening is! “When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin’ along....” Used to seeing the robin in beautiful snow scenes, but just as lovely among the fruit tree blossoms! (apple? pear?)

[MEG33]

It's late lunchtime and maybe nap time.
I will see you later!

[Billie]

Thank you, Amy. You know I enjoy it! I also enjoy seeing all your pretty frames around all your neat graphics! (and the “JA” in the lower right corner, too!) I know you’re having fun with all the neat frames and tubes and stuff and it’s a treat for us, too. :)

[MEG33]

;o)
Thank you, Billie..It’s a Cardinal..a favorite resident in my yard.

[Billie]

Hey, good to see you back today! Know you had a great, wonderful time with your family and all the graduation celebrating!

[Billie]

Oh, Yikes! I knew that! The cardinal is the one I'm used to seeing posted in the snow in so many beautiful graphics here!

The red robin ditty was going through my mind though!

[MEG33]

LOL..I know how that is
Thank you for your compliments..I am not sure...but think
that is a pear tree.
Wishing you a lovely Lord's Day

[Victoria Delsoul]

Lord,
You come to us in neighbors we do not know
and are unlikely to meet.
You come to us when people’s needs are measured in statistics,
Argued about in political programs,
Or estimated in development plans.
Give us the grace to see past numbers to the real lives behind them.
So that we might, with you, build your kingdom.
Amen.

From Prayer in Action

[MEG33]

Your prayers are so wonderful, Victoria.
Thank you for it and the sweet graphic.
Hope you are having a lovely Sunday.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thank you kindly, Meg!

That's a lovely graphic.

I'm having a good day, hope you are too! :-)

[MEG33]

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Sgt. Raul Moncada, KIA 13APR2009

God Of Our Fathers



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

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!

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!
