What joo talkin bout Willis? Nan who? Great! I have to take a couple of days off and everyone starts a party. It’s late and I have to go to bed. Tomorrow is another work day. Had a wedding today. I may be back on Monday for awhile. Stay out of trouble

[yorkie]

Nan - Tiapam meant to type ‘nana’ as that is what Jaycee’s grandkids call her. She left off the “a”. But - if you want to have a pool party for all of us - I’m sure we’d all be happy to join you!

Sleep tight, and hope to see you Monday!

A Hero Who Healed

June 6, 2010

Corporal Desmond Doss was the first conscientious objector to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor, the United States’ highest military award. A devout follower of Christ, Doss believed that it was not right for him to kill others, but he wanted to serve his country so he volunteered as a medic. During boot camp, his fellow soldiers ridiculed him for refusing to fire a rifle. They mocked him when he read his Bible and knelt beside his bunk at night to pray. But in combat, it was a different story.

During the World War II battle for Okinawa in May 1945, Doss repeatedly risked his life to rescue scores of wounded men. Through his unselfish actions, he earned the gratitude and respect of his former critics and of those whose lives he saved.

In the face of unjust criticism, Peter told his fellow Christians, “Even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. ‘And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled’ ” (1 Peter 3:14). He urged them to honor God in their hearts and be ready to give a respectful reply to anyone who asked about the hope within them (v.15).

May our response to a hurting world that’s often hostile to Christ be one that demonstrates God’s love.

We’re told to love the enemies
That in this life we face,
For showing love that’s not deserved
Reveals to them God’s grace. —Bosch

To return good for good is human; to return good for evil is divine.

Read: 1 Peter 3:8-17

Do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. —1 Peter 3:14

Bible in a year:
2 Chronicles 25-27; John 16

Good Morning, Rus. I read your ‘study’ and each day learn more. But, today - I just don’t know:

“We’re told to love the enemies
That in this life we face,
For showing love that’s not deserved
Reveals to them God’s grace.”

This opens up a subject that I seem to have a problem with - i.e. praying for our enemies.

I have tried to pray for this administration - I really have - but I feel they are so dark and devious, that I am ‘casting my pearls before swine’. (Matt. 7:6)

Perhaps you, or somebody else in this room of FRiends, will be able to offer some suggestions on this matter.

Good Morning, Dear Yorkie! I suffer from the same problem.

Not only with the current Administration, but with the Enemies of Israel.

It is one thing to pray for MY enemies.

It is quite another to pray for the enemies of God Almighty.

THAT, I have a REAL Problem With.

I managed to get as far as praying that they will repent and see the Light, but I can not and will not pray for them to prosper.

Good morning, FRiends.

Meg is attending her grandson's wedding; we will all miss her wonderful replies.
Enjoy the day, Meg. So happy that you are able to attend.

I won't be around until later ...
After chuch, I am expecting company.
I will be joining LTOS, Yorkie and all of you in praying for our country.
If a little faith can work big miracles, a lot of faith and prayers will save our country
from the despair that it is prevalent.

Have a Blessed Sunday as you pray for our nation and those who protect her.

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
