SPANKING NEW THREAD!

(and I posted this on old & here!)

Thank you Amy .. I hope all the folks here are doing well. I am hating winter more & more each day.

Looked through a group of my pix from the beach last summer just a bit ago & REALLY longing for the sun, flowers, warm water.

Lovely tune, thank you very much for sharing. The Graphics are beautiful.

Win Or Lose
March 1, 2011

During the 2009 college football season, University of Texas quarterback Colt McCoy began every post-game interview by thanking God for the opportunity to play. When he was injured early in the national championship game, he was forced to watch from the sidelines as his team lost.

The apostle Paul experienced God’s deliverance many times, but he didn’t insist on things going his way. From prison in Rome he wrote to Timothy: “I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand” (2 Tim. 4:6). Some might say that Paul had failed to accomplish his goals and that his life was ending in defeat. But he saw it differently: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (v.7). He looked forward to an eternal crown (v.8).

As we walk with God, we can praise Him for His faithfulness—win or lose.

I can always count on God, my heavenly Father,
For He changes not; He always is the same.
Yesterday, today, forever, He is faithful,
And I know He loves me, praise His holy name! —Felten

In every change He faithful will remain. —Katharina von Schlegel

Read: 2 Timothy 4:1-8

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. —2 Timothy 4:7

Bible in a year:
Numbers 23-25; Mark 7:14-37

Thanks Jaycee

Hi Brad’s Gramma! Happy 1st day of March to ya!!

[yorkie]

LOL! Just as I was watching that baby laughing (that you posted the link to), the very same video came on my Fox Affiliate channel on tv - so I had giggling in STEREO this morning!

Happy Tuesday, JC!

[jaycee]

Such a beautiful graphic this first day of March! And I love that song...always have! I have it on my Bobby Darin and Rod Stewart CD’s. I sure miss people like Dean Martin and his gang.

Thank you all.

[jaycee]

Wonderful message, Rus. Thank you so much. May God always bless you.

[jaycee]

Hi yorkie! I had seen it twice on Fox this morning and I had a huge smile each time. You can't watch that and not smile or laugh. Isn't it funny what babies will laugh at? I hope you are in for a great day. After I fix some pancakes for myself, I am dressing and going straight to the Courthouse to pay those taxes...(as much as I hate to.)

I was so tired last night and practically passed out sleeping. I think a day of frustration and worry about the weather yesterday just wore me out, physically and mentally! Thank goodness, the sun is shining brightly today but its about 32 degrees. It will warm up some.

"I'm gonna remember to smell the flowers today!"

[jaycee]

Hope you enjoyed that, bert! I won’t be with you all this time for lunch but will try to make it when it gets warmer weather. Yesterday was awful here!

Happy March!

[yorkie]

Ahhh, a yorkie smelling flowers!
Does that mean Spring is near?

[bert]

By yesterday noon, I was beginning to wonder if selling my canoe was such a bright idea!

[jaycee]

Beautiful graphic with touching words. It makes one think that whatever happened yesterday is gone forever. I always say when a relative or good friend passes on, the WORLD will never be the same, especially my little WORLD. Thank you!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Dolly. I answered you in February last night. :)

I’m tired of cold, damp weather.It looks like I will have some daffodils blooming by next week. YEAH!!!

Have a beautiful March and a warm, early spring.

[jaycee]

I would think it may not be a good idea, bert! LOL! One of my Amy’s buddies who lives in Texas, said they haven’t had rain since September. Isn’t that amazing? She told of a car accident happening because of low visibility and a little 5 year old was killed in the accident, plus others!
