Do what you can,
where you are,
to whomever is there.
Make it a way of life to speak of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Recently was reading about an missionary ... whose approach was
“I am a believer of the most high God, does anyone here need prayer?”
It is a good opening.
Read the Bible ... God will meet you there.

When finding our self down and depressed ... read a song book of hymns. It lifts the heart to praise, worship, and peace as it fills our mind with God.
meant to post the lyrics
It IS Well With My Soul ...
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Refrain:
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
But, Lord, tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
Father help us in our day, in Jesus day, amen.
Not Me - I'm a good complainer when it comes to weather. I complain about the cold and I complain about the hot - I don't discriminate. :)
But most of all, I complain about the WIND! Like today, for instance: 25 - 30 mph with gusts up to 50. March comes in ferociously, and it usually goes out just about as mad. :)
Thank you, yorkie, for your compliment on the Friday opening. Also wanted to say how much I like the little girl in black and white with the red slippers. Your words under the graphic are so sweet.
Hey, Amy! Happy to see you got to spend some time here Friday. :) jaycee, your graphics are always special - your good morning posts, your “first response” to the openings, your middle of the day posts, and your good nights, too. :) I sees ‘em and likes ‘em all. :)
Hey, there! I’m glad you finally left that other site (wherever or whatever it was LOL). Great screen name - and hope you’ll find Amy’s Place one you won’t want to leave. :)
;-)
Good morning, Kitty. Thank you so much for the compliment on Friday’s opening.
So sweet - batting her little eyes. :)
You're absolutely right...we all do seem to find something to complain about! The wind does drive you crazy at times...then if it rains too much, we all whine about that! Its just an instinct born into us! When the temps stay really high for a week....whew, we wish we had some cooler weather. Half the time we really don't mean it but that old complaining instinct pops right out........LOL! Right now I'm complaining 'cause I have to do my bookwork and write checks!! ;o)
Yay! I'm just catching up since last Thursday, and see your beautiful scenes with scripture.
Oh, Polly, I hope you are feeling better by now. You’ve really been having some rough times lately. :(
Thanks, Billie. I don’t care for the ‘show’ cut, but loved the eyes, too. My furry kid has always had a ‘puppy cut’, has never had her hair pulled up and bowed on top of her head, and she wears her own ‘coat’ well, even though she is 13 1/2 years old. (Isn’t that over 90 in dog years?)
Thank you, jaycee, and of course I do, too. :) (love horses and people who do)
Hope you both have a good day. My day has been difficult....Murphys law kind of.....LOL! I will try to get to all my pings later.
Hope today will be better than Friday for you. :)
Thanks, tiapam! Seems I always miss you when you're here.
Hey, look atchu - posting another picture! That’s so cute! Dalmations are the cutest things. :)
That little angel and the puppy are so precious!
Awww, so sweet - I love doggies and kitties lovin’ each other. :)
