A poem:

Oh, she was an acrobat’s daughter;
she swung by her teeth from a noose.
But, in one matinee,
her bridgework gave way,
and she flew through the air like a goose.

Conservative Party, I didn’t read your post until this morning. I wasn’t on the thread much at all yesterday. But I did read about your ‘special Aunt’ this morning. What a wonderful lady she must be. I will certainly keep her in my prayers for healing and I hope you will keep us updated on her condition. God Bless her and God Bless you for being so kind to your Aunt.

Yorkie and Kitty, Both your kitty graphics were so sweet. I cut my computer off early (as soon as I posted my Kitty Goodnight) so I just saw your posts.

And Jack, I always enjoy your kitty pictures and your poetry so much and thank you for them. We appreciate your talent!

Cute, cute!

The Choice

READ: Genesis 2:16-17; 3:1-8

Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat. —Genesis 2:16-17

I watched as a young mother tried to get her 2-year-old child to make a choice. “You can have fish or chicken,” she told him. She limited his choice to just two because he was too young to understand beyond that. Choice often allows a wider variety of options, and it also must allow the person to reject the choices.

Adam and Eve were in the best possible environment. God had given them freedom to eat of all the trees in Eden. He drew the boundary lines around only one tree! They had a choice, and it should have been a no-brainer to choose wisely. But their choice was tragic.

Some blame God for what they see as His restrictions. They may even accuse Him of trying to control their lives. But God gives us a choice, just as He did Adam and Eve.

Yes, God draws boundary lines, but they are for our protection. David understood this. He wrote, “You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies . . . . I understand more than the ancients, because I keep Your precepts. I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Your Word” (Ps. 119:98-101).

God cares so much about us that He gives us boundary lines so that we will choose what is right.

Lord, help us to obey Your Word,
To heed Your still, small voice;
And may we not be swayed by men,
But make Your will our choice. —D. De Haan

God’s commandments were given to fulfill us, not to frustrate us.
Bible in One Year: Job 22-24; Acts 11

Hi GeeBee, nice post this morning. You have mail! (((Hugs)))

[jaycee]

Thank you Dolly! Sounds like you’ve got a nice weekend ahead of you. I hope you have a wonderful time!!

I plan to go to my son’s. He has a big cookout with a terrific fireworks show. It gets bigger each year. Both of my guys love to do fireworks and inherited that from their Dad. He always did that and all the kids in the neighborhood would come here to see the show.

Now the torch is passed....LOL! Guess you’re gone now before you get my post......have loads of fun!

~~Have a Wonderful Day~~

One day a week, weathermen forecast a week of sun coming up and change it back to all rain for their next forecast.

I'll believe sun when I see it.

[Lady Jag]

Morning.

[jaycee]

A storm is starting here now!
Did you send it my way?
I couldn't blame you as
you have had more rain
than I can imagine!

[Lady Jag]

I'm trying to send this rain anywhere but here!

So are my friends!
