Just tooooo darn cute, Amy!

[JustAmy]

This is very pretty, Jaycee.

Isn’t it fun to make something pretty and feel like you accomplished something?

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Teenie. I think I used that graphic last Valentine’s Day.

I think those kids are cute.

[jaycee]

Yes, it is fun, Amy! I enjoy it when I have the time. I do so much changing that it takes a while and when I’m finished, I always wish I had done so and so! Thats the way it goes sometimes.

There was a update Amy......I will go back and see if I can find the post number.
Florence came through much better than anticipated, but still needs prayer....

JC, the peppermint frame is just perfect for that graphic!

[jaycee]

Well thank you for your compliment this morning, yorkie. I see you posted last night and I guess I had closed down a wee bit early. Lately, I'm getting my night time chores finished sooner than used to!

God’s Signature
December 3, 2010

Displayed on the wall of my friends’ lake house is a collection of pictures. Each one of the photos is of a sunset, taken from their deck during various seasons. While each is strikingly beautiful—no two are identical. When I look at them, it reminds me of what another friend once called a sunset—“God’s beautiful signature at the end of a day.”

God writes His signature on each sunset and on each of His unique children as well. I never grow tired of discovering how every person I meet is so delightfully different. God is infinitely creative, and the variety in our personalities, senses of humor, abilities, and preferences in music and sports are all handcrafted by Him.

In the body of Christ, we see how a diversity of spiritual gifts still have a common bond and can work together for God’s purposes to bring Him glory. In 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, we read, “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.”

God’s signature that is so evident in nature is also present in His people. Let’s celebrate the differences that make each of His children unique.

In Jesus Christ we all are equal,
For God’s Spirit makes us one;
As we give each other honor,
We give glory to His Son. —Fitzhugh

The signature of God is seen on His creation.

Read: Genesis 1:27-31

God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. —Genesis 1:31

Bible in a year:
Ezekiel 45-46; 1 John 2

And RED.

Mary did you know?

Yes we do that in the house when the temps go below freezing. It was a balmy 54 with a low of 45 when the 45 year old brass valves broke. Not much you can do about old age in a house, except to replace as needed.

This is my favorite for Christmas. Last Christmas I posted Mary and Baby Jesus and put a link to that song from youtube. I listened to this twice this morning. Thank you...its so touching!

"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.
