Thank you, Kitty.
I have been blessed by seeing your graphics, reading your sweet Words, and by knowing YOU as a Loving, Christian friend.
Or on second thought, maybe we all could tag along with those friends of yours on any trip they choose. LOL! ANY island would be fine with me. LOL, again!!!! I’ve been to Hawaii,twice. It is WONDERFUL! Great place to visit!!!
What deep colored yellow flowers! How beautiful!!! Thanks!
Stay warm on Tuesday, Meg! I hope you don’t lose power!
Hi Yorkie, that was just hystercial! Wish we could have heard the music of the harmonica kitty!!! Thanks!
AWESOME!
If we could hear the kitty playing that harmonica - Here is what he would be playing!
How sweet...”God Bless America”. Loved this.
Thanks for all the pings last night ‘after I went to bed’...And yorkie, the sweetpeas with the kitty are so pretty.
And tiapam, I’m ready for that trip to Hawaii at any time!!
During a trip to the Far East, I visited an unusual shrine made up of hundreds of statues. According to our guide, worshipers would pick the statue that looked the most like an ancestor and pray to it.
A few years ago, I read about a student named Le Thai. An ancestor worshiper, he found great comfort in praying to his deceased grandmother. Because he was praying to someone he knew and loved, he found this to be personal and intimate.
But when he came from Vietnam to the US to study, Le Thai was introduced to Christianity. It sounded like a fairy tale based on American thinking. To him, it was the worship of a foreign God (see Acts 17:18).
Then a Christian friend invited him to visit his home on Christmas. He saw a Christian family in action and heard again the story of Jesus. Le Thai listened. He read John 3 about being “born again” and asked questions. He began to feel the pull of the Holy Spirit. Finally, he realized that Christianity was true. He trusted Jesus as his personal Savior.
When friends see Christianity as foreign worship, we need to respect their heritage while sharing the gospel graciously and giving them time to explore Christianity. And then trust the Spirit to do His work.
Wonderful, yorkie. That is some goooood music. Loved the little bearded black man with his wash board. People from all over the world singing and playing together. Great presentation.
Sweet sweet message of Le Thai trusting Jesus as his personal Savior. AMEN! Thanks, Rus.
Thank you, Yorkie. It was good to be able to spend some time here yesterday.
It was a day that I could play and just have a goof-off day.
That is Grandpa Elliot, from New Orleans, JC. He is also blind. Here he is singing God Bless America, last July at the Dodger Stadium. Get ready for ‘goose-bumps’:

Oh my, that really gets to you. He has a beautiful voice and singing “God Bless America” with such emotion was just the best. Yes, goosebumps!
Is he totally blind?
I don’t think he is ‘totally blind’, because he wears glasses. But, WHAT a voice!
I will post today's opening in just a few minutes (as soon as I find a rerun to post!) :)
AMY, loved those kitties Saturday. Your framing and presentations are always fun to check out - you are GOOD! :)
MEG, I wanted to say how pretty your Sunday openings always are, but love how you've been cropping a part of the bigger picture and adding as a little thumbnail to the end of your openings. Nice!
LORI, am really enjoying all your new openings. Yesterday's ivy trailing on top of the vignette, and the lightly transparent repeat of the door as background for the poem - loved it! :)
Wanted to tell you that I loved your bluejay from the other day with the snow falling on it. It is just gorgeous, as was Monday’s yellow flower - one of the prettiest flower graphics I’ve ever seen. :)
