Hope the pain is less than yesterday’s.

That’s so pretty, jaycee. His paintings just almost come alive with the way he uses light. Look at the sunlight on the bottom of her dress!

[Billie]

Sorry I chose to post this lovely lady. Was going to do a floral but I liked this one! LOL!

LOL! I guess we'll just have to have the lovely lady deleted since you didn't follow procedures and post a floral. :)

I am glad to hear your first PT session went well and hope each one will make you feel better and better.

[Billie]

Goodnight, Friends. Sleep well

Land Of Eternal Spring

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Ecclesiastes 12:1-7

I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken. —Psalm 37:25

The former president of Columbia Bible College in South Carolina, J. Robertson McQuilkin, pointed out that God has a wise purpose in letting us grow old and weak:

“I think God has planned the strength and beauty of youth to be physical. But the strength and beauty of age is spiritual. We gradually lose the strength and beauty that is temporary so we’ll be sure to concentrate on the strength and beauty which is forever. And so we’ll be eager to leave the temporary, deteriorating part of us and be truly homesick for our eternal home. If we stayed young and strong and beautiful, we might never want to leave.”

When we are young, happily occupied with all our relationships and activities, we may not long for our celestial Home. But as time passes, we may find ourselves without family and friends, afflicted with dim vision and hearing difficulties, no longer able to relish food, or troubled by sleeplessness.

Here’s the advice I give myself: Be grateful that, as the apostle Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 6:17, “God . . . gives us richly all things to enjoy” in life’s summer and autumn. And rejoice too that with the onset of life’s winter we can anticipate that we’ll soon be living in the land of eternal spring.

There’s a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar;
For the Father waits over the way,
To prepare us a dwelling-place there. —Bennett

The promise of heaven is our eternal hope.
Bible in One Year: 2 Chronicles 34-36; John 19:1-22

Thanks Billie! I just loved that painting! Wish I would have had more time today. I enjoy threads like these because “we all learn so much”. All of us are familiar with Monet but don’t take the time to view a lot of the paintings and I find it interesting. And while we are looking we run into other artists and their work. (some I’ve never heard of).

The thing I didn’t understand about this painting...there was two of them and listed as ‘one facing right’ and the other ‘one facing left’. I didn’t get into further reading but plan to! Little strange tidbits! LOL!

[jaycee]

LOL! I laughed when I read this post of yours!

[jaycee]

Very pretty.

[jaycee]

Thank you, Kitty! I will have a ways to go on this therapy but I will do my best and hope and pray things will improve greatly with time.

I loved your sweet little ‘goodnight graphic’.

[jaycee]

Lovely devotion from ODB this morning, Mr. Mayor.

"The promise of heaven is our eternal hope." Amen!

Have a wonderful day today.

[jaycee]

Good Morning FRiends!

[SnarlinCubBear]

Good morning Jaycee and ALL ~

The Monet Lady is beautiful. Enjoy your Wednesday - Hump Day!

[The Mayor]

The ODB really puts things in perspective today for me.
I am not getting any younger physically but mentally and Spiritually I have grown immensely.

Beautiful sunny day here, enjoy it!

[pollywog]

Good Morning Mayor, and I say a resounding YES to ODB this morning! I am looking forward to that day when I will see Our Lord Jesus face to face.

Polly

[jaycee]

Good Morning to you too!

Thanks for the compliments! Wishing you a lovely day, SCB!

[jaycee]

Hi Polly, I have looked and looked for this post! Didn't get to answer yesterday! I was so happy about your daughter going to the Prom and having such a great time! Escort or no escort, it doesn't matter. It was 'her prom' and she found she was not alone! How sweet she must be! We would love to see pictures if you can post us one.

I told her that her escort was the King of Kings!! And how much more reassuring can that be? That is so sweet.

Its a bit cloudy here this morning although it was pretty just a little while ago...I took my coffee to the patio and watched the little creatures! God provides so much beauty for us and its free!

Have a wonderful day, Polly!

Good Morning Jaycee! ** waving from my kitchen in Los Angeles where the weather is typical "JUNE gloom"..** I will post several photos in a bit. Yes, I was more than proud of this girl who has made it against all odds!! To God be The Glory! Polly
