Beautiful graphic there, t-pammy! Thanks!

[tiapam]

I can’t believe how popular they think it is! I guess it’s an “oh, well” thing?

[tiapam]

Your welcome!! :)

I used to work with a young gal that had the name of an ex boyfriend across the base of her spine. When she married another guy she had it made into a huge cluster of flowers. I do mean huge!

I asked her one day, "What are your children going to think when you're 80 years old"? Her answer was, "How cool there Mom is"! LOL

LOL! That is so cute (yet sad), JC.

"Could I just look at your dolls
If I don't touch them?"

OK - I'll let you push one in the buggy.

But, you can't 'look' or 'touch'.

(P.S. - I'm the one on the right....)

A Lasting Imprint
November 5, 2010

Caerleon is a Welsh village with deep historical roots. It was one of three sites in the United Kingdom where Roman legions were posted during Rome’s occupation of Britain. While the military presence ended some 1,500 years ago, the imprint of that occupation can still be seen today. People come from all over the world to visit the military fort, the barracks, and the amphitheatre that are reminders of the days when Rome ruled the world and occupied Wales.

It amazes me that 15 centuries later, the evidence of Rome’s presence can still so clearly be seen in that small community.

I wonder, though, about another kind of imprint—the imprint of Christ on our lives. Do we allow His presence to be clearly seen by others? Is it possible for people who interact with us to know that Jesus occupies our lives?

Jesus calls us to make known His presence in our lives to the glory of God the Father. He says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matt. 5:16). Through the light of our testimony and the impact of our deeds of service, people should be able to see evidence of the presence of God in our lives. Is it true? Can they see His imprint?

The Christ of God to glorify,
His grace in us to magnify;
His Word of life to all make known—
Be this our work, and this alone. —Whittle

Let your testimony be written in large enough letters so the world can always read it.

Read: Matthew 5:13-20

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. —Matthew 5:16

Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 34-36; Hebrews 2

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Happy 7th FR Anniversary, SJB IA.
We are happy that you are part of the FR and Amy's Place Families.

Now for a clarification.
In December, do I wish SJB a Happy 5th Anniversary? :)
Only person that I know who has two FR anniversaries. LOL

Have a great Friday and a Wonderful Weekend.

[geologist]

Wise words ...this is so true

We can really appreciate it.

Many is the time I have been wondering at how little is accomplished at the end of a day. Yet it seemed much ado was continually occurring .

What is the phrase ... Woman's work is NEVER done?

[JustAmy]

Happy Friday, Rus.

Thank you for being here every morning with another serving of ODB.

Wishing you a restful weekend.

[yorkie]

I couldn't get that sad face out of my mind, JC.
So, I decided it would be best to share my dolls.

[MEG33]

Just love this..Adorable!

Good Morning To Amy's Place

Wear Red On Friday To Support Our Troops

[JustAmy]

I dug into the archives for that graphic and poem, Geologist. When I started looking for the graphic, I thought it was an elephant. When I found it, I decided to use it anyway. After the ups and downs of Tuesday, I felt like that poem. LOL



That age-old phrase ... "Man works from sun to sun, but a woman's work is never done."

A lot of mine stays undone. :)

Wishing you a fantastic Friday and a Blessed Weekend.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Meg.
Thank you for sharing the little guy playing in the leaves as he supports the troops.

Wishing you a Fabulous Friday and a Blessed Weekend.

[GailA]

That is way to cute!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Gail.
I agree about that little dog being a real keeper.
I would take him!!

Wishing you a delightful Friday.
