Ha Ha Ha Ha that is a good one.
Yes it is good news.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On April 25, 1507, German cartographer Martin Waldseemueller produced a world map containing the first recorded use of the term “America,” in honor of Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci (vehs-PYOO’-chee).
Easter thread was wonderful.
This old geezer is feeling older ever day, headed for 63 in August, and my aches and pains tell me I’m 110.
Nerve block back on for the 5th of May. IF they don’t screw scheduling up again. And it had best work, I’m tired of the lortabs which only bring the pain down half way.
Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life”! It’s one thing to make such a bold assertion; it’s another to back it up—and back it up Jesus did by rising from the dead.
“If you believe that the Son of God died and rose again,” writes George MacDonald, “your whole future is full of the dawn of eternal morning, coming up beyond the hills of life, and full of such hope as the highest imagination for the poet has not a glimmer yet.”
The Son of God died and rose again, and His resurrection is the guarantee that God will bring us up and out of the ground: A thinking, feeling, remembering, recognizable person will live forever.
Living forever means living out the thought of eternity that God has placed in our hearts; meeting again one’s believing loved ones lost through separating death; living in a world without sorrow; seeing our Lord who loves us and gave everything to unite us to Him forever.
But I see another meaning. Since we have this life and the next, we don’t have to “have it all” now. We can live in broken and ruined bodies for a time; we can endure poverty and hardship for a while; we can face loneliness, heartache, and pain for a season. Why? There is a second birth—life in heaven forever.
Read: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11
Glad you enjoyed! I had gotten it from a friend on FB. LOL! Learn some neat stuff there, huh!
Happy that you had a lovely Easter! (((hugs)))
That’s good news, Dubya, that Possum Kingdom got rain. Now
if some would just push into the West Texas desert. We are
supposed to have high winds today and tomorrow...it’s just
beautiful right now...and I know we’ll have more fires. The
one at Ft. Davis is still burning. Our firefighters are just
exhausted!
Great verses today, wonderful message and a reminder that we are but His children.
LOVE Facebook!
Me, too! :)
I will be praying for the rain and the people who have been hurt.
“What Is Your Address?”
There is a family nobody likes to meet, They live, it is said, on Complaining Street. In the city of Never-Are Satisfied, The River of Discontent beside.
They growl at that, and they growl at this; Whatever comes there is something amiss; And whether their station be high or humble, They are known by the name of Grumble.
The weather is always too hot or too cold, Summer and winter alike they scold; Nothing goes right with the folks you meet Down on that gloomy Complaining Street.
They growl at the rain, and they growl at the sun; In fact, their growling is never done. And if everything pleased them, there isn’t a doubt They’d growl that they’d nothing to grumble about!
And the worst thing is that if anyone stays Among them too long he will learn their ways, And before he dreams of the terrible jumble He’s adopted into the family of Grumble.
So it were wisest to keep our feet From wandering into Grumbling Street. And never to growl whatever we do, Lest we be mistaken for Grumblers too.
By L. M. Montgomery
Thank you...all prayers are welcome. I’m smelling smoke this
morning. Just not sure if it’s from an old fire or a new one. :(
“The older we get, the fewer things there are that seem worth waiting in line for.”
“The older we get, the fewer things there are that seem worth waiting in line for.”
Now this I can seriously agree with! Does that mean I’m becoming even more of a curmudgeon?
lol Maybe so!
“Court Wisdom”
Several women, each trying to one-up the other, appeared in court, each accusing the others of causing the trouble they were having in the apartment building where they lived.
The judge, with Solomon-like wisdom decreed, “Okay, I’m ready to hear the evidence. I’ll hear from the oldest person first.”
The case was dismissed for lack of testimony.
“Restaurant Line”
A well-put together, elderly gentleman left his Maserati Gran Turismo with the valet, entered the restaurant and asked to be seated at a table away from a lovely, well-dressed woman who appeared to be in her well-kept eighties.
He ordered a drink and took a sip. He then calmly turned his head in her direction, nodded politely as their eyes met, and asked, “So tell me, sweetheart, do I come here often?”
