Wow, is that a sparklie rose bouquet! Thank you my FRiend. BTW, your “little” gift went out today. Don’t expect too much. I didn’t even write a message. Just wanted to get it mailed.

[WVNan]

I guess if I still had kids around I would still put the dishes in the dish washer.

[WVNan]

Got to turn in. My eyes are killing me. Everybody have a good night and...........

[yorkie]

Awwwww, what a sweet ‘good-night’! Thank you Nan!

P.S. You’ve got FReepmail~

Cute graphic, Polly.

Yep ... Laundry and dishes are a constant. Sometimes I wonder how one child can dirty so many clothes. Other times I wonder how 3 people can dirty so much silverware. LOL

Good evening, FRiends.
It is time to turn out the lights.

Have a Peaceful Night with Sweet Dreams.

[ConorMacNessa]

I have the sad duty to inform you that Silas the cat passed on during the night. We will miss him dearly.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

For most English-speaking people, the acronym ASAP means “As Soon As Possible” or immediately. But for the Christian it can also mean, “Always Say A Prayer.”

King Hezekiah was one of Judah’s best kings. He restored the worship of God to his nation after his father Ahaz’s evil reign (2 Kings 18:3-4). Yet when the Assyrian king attacked Judah, Hezekiah capitulated to the king and stripped off the gold from the temple in Jerusalem to placate him (vv.13-16).

That did not satisfy the Assyrian king, however, who returned to issue another threat. It was then that Hezekiah turned to the Lord. He prayed, “You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. . . . Save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the Lord God, You alone” (19:15-19). When Hezekiah prayed, God answered him in a remarkable way and delivered him from his enemies (vv.35-37).

You may be facing a problem that leaves you feeling helpless. It may be the loss of a job, a difficult family or work situation, or health struggles. We have a powerful God to whom we can bring our concerns. So before you do anything else, remember to ASAP—Always Say A Prayer.

Something happens when we pray:
Powers of evil lose their sway,
We gain strength, and fear gives way—
Therefore, let us pray. —Anon.

Prayer should be our first response rather than our last resort.

Read: 2 Kings 19:9-19

O Lord our God, I pray, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the Lord God, You alone. —2 Kings 19:19

Bible in a year:
2 Chronicles 17-18; John 13:1-20

Oh my, I hated to hear that sad news about Silas this morning. We will be thinking of you and the family in this loss. Silas was beautiful, Conor.
