We'd Love To Have You, Jim!!

[yorkie]

Meg, I lived in TX for several years. When Mr. Yorkie got transfered to another state, I cried. I did not want to leave TX. Two of my children were born there. I had friends like I had never had in my life. So, I cried.

And for three more years, I cried for Texas. (And today, I still miss Texas.)

(And, I still cry......)

[MEG33]

I have Texas in the blood..I am 5th generation..I have lived several times in California, both children born there..(Navy and business) Texas is home..

Texas would love to have you back!

[yorkie]

Sigh.......
I STILL miss Texas!

[yorkie]

Teenie - that cat is NOT a happy camper, I don’t think.

Maybe if she had a bra she would feel more secure? LOL!!!

[yorkie]

Believe me, Meg - if there were any way possible, I would be there in a heartbeat!

[yorkie]

Tiapammie, that is a BEAUTIFUL dog! I wish I could give her a big hug!

[MEG33]

Awww

[yorkie]

Sigh...........I gotta turn in - and guess what I’ll go to sleep thinkin’ about tonight? The grand state of Texas! LOL!

Sleep well, Meg. See ya tomorrow!

[luvie]

I think you need to come back! :)

Of course, Midland/Odessa doesn't have the breathtaking
scenery that you have now, but....we have awesome sunsets!

Remember John
November 4, 2010

John is a humble, uneducated man. Yet God used him to start the peace process in Mozambique. His name is not mentioned in any official documents; all he did was arrange a meeting between two of his acquaintances— Kenyan Ambassador Bethuel Kiplagat and a Mozambican. But that introduction set in motion the events that led to a peace treaty after a 10-year civil war.

From that experience, Ambassador Kiplagat learned the importance of respecting everyone. “You never dismiss people because they are not educated, because they are white, because they are black, because they are women, because they are old or young. Every encounter is sacred, and we need to value that encounter,” the ambassador said. “You never know what word might be there for you.”

The Bible confirms that this is true. Naaman was a great man in Syria when he got the dreaded disease of leprosy. A servant girl whom he had captured from Israel told Naaman’s wife that the prophet Elisha could heal him. Because Naaman was willing to listen to this lowly servant girl, his life was spared and he came to know the one true God (2 Kings 5:15).

God often speaks through those to whom few are willing to listen. To hear God, be sure to listen to the humble.

God often uses lowly things
His purpose to fulfill,
Because it takes a humble heart
To carry out His will. —D. De Haan

God uses ordinary people to carry out His extraordinary plan.

Read: 2 Kings 5:1-15

Now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel. —2 Kings 5:15

Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 32-33; Hebrews 1

THE VIEW FROM THE VERANDA

Dawn Thoughts

As Dawn breaks silently soft with rose and pearl tone
I walk the path of life given and know I’m not alone
He walk here beside me and enjoys the dawn as well
Knowing the filling of my heart and every tear that fell

[jaycee]

Johnn, this is so sweet it almost made me cry. I’m in one of those ‘blue’ moods today with the rain outside (although its a good rain we need) but there are those days, ya know!

The words are beautiful and I know I’m not alone. HE knows my every feeling and only HE can understand if I only let Him!
Thank you. I’ll try to order breakfast later. Love that view in your graphic! Have a wonderful day!!

HERE’S A BIT OF FUN TO LIGHTEN A BLUE DAY

0 to 200 in 6 seconds

Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really pissed.

She told him “Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!”

The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought the box back in the house.

She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

Bob has been missing since Friday.

Blonde paint job

A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.

“Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?”
The blonde said, “How about 50 dollars?”
The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage.
The man’s wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, “Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?”
The man replied, “She should. She was standing on the porch.”

A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
“You’re finished already?” he asked.
“Yes,” the blonde answered, “and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats”
Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.
“And by the way,” the blonde added, “that’s not a Porch, it’s a Ferrari.”

A Really Bad Day

There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.

Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down.
The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, “Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I’ll buy you another drink. I just can’t stand to see a man cry.”

“No, it’s not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away.”

“I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison.”
