How many babies?

Raccoon families are visiting us daily as well. I got pitchas in my camera.

[MEG33]

3...and I had a really good look last night. They are SO cute. Post yer pitchas!

[MEG33]

PS..Making it dark in the house makes it so they can’t see me moving..and makes the patio light better for me to see them..That’s why I turned off the inside lights.

[Lady Jag]

Thanks, SJ. Sunday’s SJ is full of grace. Are you going to be graceful today?

[Lady Jag]

My guys have two babies about the same size as yours.

I'll download the photos soon. It's been hectic lately, especially since losing 4+ days to a computer emergency last week.

Today I may take a dip in the pool which we haven't had any use of due to a rainy 6 weeks and low temperatures.

[Lady Jag]

I wasn’t aware the cool weather was getting all the way down to you.

You’ll hear me describe our cool weather but not complaining about it. I love these temps and dry air! It’s a dream come true for moi.

[MEG33]

Good Sunday Morning,

Thank you for the lovely Patriotic Sunday blessings and
graphic, Lady Jag..
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day..

[jaycee]

Yeah, we have enjoyed 2 cool days! But the rain you all had outdid everything! When it warms back up here, it will be too hot to sit outside! Glad you are enjoying your weather!

[MEG33]

Any day would be a good day for me to see your babies..I had only seen 2 babies until last night ..triplets were a nice surprise.
I am glad the rain has gone so you can enjoy...have a nice pool time.

[MEG33]

Going to fix an early lunch and have a nap..
I stayed up way too late watching for the baby raccoons.

[Lady Jag]

A Blessed Sunday to you!

Are you trying to be good? It's very hard to do, according to James 1:2.

[Lady Jag]

Oh, only 2 days. I don't why I thought it was more; where did that come from?

Ten gorgeous days doesn't make up for nine months of horrid weather we just had but it sure does help! This is the coolest, driest July yet.

[Lady Jag]

Beautiful graphic again, MEG. Pleasant dreams.

[Kitty Mittens]

Meg, your Lord's Day Post is Beautiful,
And I Love your Hummingbird 'Thank You's!'

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!

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24(KJV)

Have a Blessed Lord’s Day!

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

1st Lt. Derwin I. Williams, USA, KIA 6JUL2009

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

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!
