I haven’t been around much on FR, I had a bout of Sciatica , hurt like the dickens!
Here’s some uplifting music that I love, not from the musicians but from a movie because it tickles me with their dancing moves. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Are you sure????????

What a lovely photo of your Mom. Framing isn’t bad, either! LOL!

[jaycee]

Absolutely! The only thing I’m not sure of is exactly what date it will be....LOL! It was a little springy here today!

“Hurts like the dickens” Haven’t heard that in years. Do hope you’ll be feeling better soon! Enjoyed the video! Thanks!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Tiapam.

I decided for my Genealogy Book, the framing was not good. I think it looks best with a black frame. Since most of my pictures are in black and white, the color seemed to detract.

I need to get more photo paper so I can work more pictures into the book. The book is going to be in a 3-ring binder so it will be easy to add or replace pages.

Parked For Now

READ: Numbers 9:19-23

I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. —Psalm 40:1

Parking my car has been a lifelong problem for me. It really wasn’t a high priority with my driving instructor, so I never learned to back up into a parking space until many years later. He also skipped the parallel parking lesson, and I still avoid that unless there’s enough space for two or three cars.

I’ve also struggled to understand a statement I heard when I was a young Christian: “God can’t steer a parked car.” I took that as a challenge to shift my life into motion, and along the way God would guide me in the right direction. It’s an interesting thought, but it’s not always the way God works. Occasionally, God does want us to “stay parked” for a while.

At times, when Moses was in the wilderness, God kept the Israelites in one place. He led them by a cloud, and when it stayed still for many days, “the children of Israel . . . did not journey” (Num. 9:19). Waiting isn’t always easy, but sometimes God wants us to stay right where He has put us. The psalmist reminds us, “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart” (27:14).

You may feel that you’re stuck and just spinning your wheels in your service for God. But keep your heart open to God’s leading. Then you’ll be ready to shift gears when you hear God say, “Let’s go this way.”

Praying, resting, waiting, trusting—
These are words that tell a story;
As we wait for God to lead us,
He responds, “Just seek My glory.” —Hess

God orders our stops as well as our steps.
