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 Nations 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!

My prayers for you as you deal with this loss. How well I know that feeling. We are dealing with a sick Collie right now.
For today our news is better. Shallie seems some better.

Indeed it does - but there was no other option, unfortunately. He had a good, long run with us and we will remember him fondly.

Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place

~~Wishing Everyone a Blessed Sunday~~
Lovely Opening, Meg!
If I ever saw a
hummingbird like this one
I would probably faint!
Guess I will get busy
finishing up before
my company arrives tomorrow!

The Others
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. . . . Great is your reward in heaven. Matthew 5:11-12
When I was growing up, I often spent a week each summer with my grandparents. Many afternoons I would lie in the backyard hammock and read books I found in Grandpas bookcase. One was
Foxes Book of Martyrs. It was heavy reading for a young girl, but I was absorbed by the detailed accounts of Christian martyrs, believers who were told to deny their faith in Christ but refusedthus suffering horrific deaths.
Hebrews 11 tells similar stories. After listing the familiar names of those who demonstrated immense faith in God, the chapter tells of the torture and death of people referred to simply as others (vv.35-36). While their names are not mentioned, verse 38 pays them this tribute: The world was not worthy of them. They died boldly for their faith in Jesus.
Today, we hear of persecuted Christians around the world, yet many of us have not been tested to that extent. When I examine my own faith, I wonder how I would respond to the prospect of martyrdom. I hope I would have the attitude of Paul, who said that although chains and tribulations awaited him (Acts 20:23), he looked forward to finishing lifes race with joy (v.24). Are we facing life with that kind of trusting attitude?
When pressures mount because we walk
The path of truth and right,
We can rejoice to know that we
Are pleasing in Gods sight. D. De Haan

They that Trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion,
Which cannot be Removed, but Abideth Forever.
Just as the Mountains Surround and Protect Jerusalem,
So the Lord Surrounds and Protects His People.
