Thank you for this great message. I know I have angels watching over me or some days I wouldn’t make it. We all humbly thank you for providing us with the food for our soul.

I hope your snow leaves soon and sunshine will surround you!

[jaycee]

Before I check out and get to my work, I wanted to remark on your very sweet Monday greeting. Have a beautiful Monday!

[WayzataJOHNN]

You’re welcome, enjoy, and don’t miss out on the chocolates at your table for that little something extra.

[Dubya]

Thank you, for todays devotional with another of the Holy Scriptures to commit to memory.
_____________________________________________________________

Colossians 3:10-17 (New King James Version)

“10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,

11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

Character of the New Man

12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”

When it rains, it pours!!

Taking Max to the vet.
He is coughing. I think he ate something he should not have ... ie: plastic.

Hope to be back later.

[Dubya]

Lord,
hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us.

Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us. I ask this in the name of JESUS our Lord and Savior.
Amen.

Letting the Cat Out of the Bag

A couple was going out for the evening. The last thing they did was to put the cat out.

The taxi arrived, and as the couple walked out of the house, the cat shoots back in. So the husband goes back inside to chase it out.

The wife, not wanting it known that the house would be empty, explained to the taxi driver "He's just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother."

A few minutes later, the husband got into the taxi and said, "Sorry I took so long, the stupid thing was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out!"

[yorkie]

LOL! (Glad you ‘cleaned it up’ Dubya!) Tee hee!

[yorkie]

Here's yer PING, Pamster!
(No more whining
about not getting 'pinged'!)

Ready for some THAI food?
LOL!

Remember.............I won the Super Bowl Bet,
and it is the restaurant of MY choice!

[tiapam]

Packers!! Nothing like a day late!! LOL!

[ConorMacNessa]

I see all, know all. :)

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[yorkie]

Oh, Amy!
You are right...
When it rains,
It pours!

You should be getting
To the end of your rainbow
Any day, now!

We're praying for Max
To come through this in perfect health!

God's ways are beyond our understanding, and beyond our knowing. Many is the time I have blessed God and his Angel for helping me not to fall, or if I did, it was without serious effect. A few days ago I swallowed a pill that lodged in my throat. I could breathe but it hurt and it wouldn't go down. It was scary, ... what if it moved and I couldn't breathe? I PRAYED FOR JESUS TO HELP ME ... HE DID.

This was a supposed soft gel fish oil supplement ... hence I have decided to chew them. They are literally as hard as a rock. Guess I will go to liquid form.

The incident caused a few minutes of near imminent danger. Through God's help I survived. We forget how easy it is for our life to be threatened.

Count our many blessings ...

"Good Company"

A married couple checked in at the Korean Air counter to pick up their tickets. As the smiling Korean woman processed their tickets, the wife asked, "Are these good seats?"

"They are very good seats," the airline worker replied. "You will be sitting next to a handsome gentleman, and your companion will be seated beside a beautiful lady."
