It's Lunchtime

A nap will surely follow
Wishing you a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

I’m just finishing my breakfast, Meg! (That time change put us three hours apart.)

[MEG33]

It’s 12:45 here..I thought we were an hour apart..2 if you did not “spring forward”.

[yorkie]

Well, I did it - I ordered two dinnerware sets online. (The dishwasher holds a LOT, and I'm always running out of bowls and saucers, and now I'll always have what I need for everyday use.)

I will take the old set out of the garage, and clean them up for special occasions.

[yorkie]

OK - it’s two hours. Surprise!

AZ never changes their time. (We get confused easily - so this way, there won’t be any problem with what time it is. (LOL!)

[yorkie]

Meg - when are the bluebonnets in bloom? I found a great graphic, but don’t want to interrupt the lovely cherry blossom day.

[yorkie]

I Love that graphic, JC.
(It reminded me of this one:)

Tulips mean SPRING!

[Billie]

Your Sunday posts are always so classy and perfectly coordinated - the graphics, frames and messages, Meg! Really a joy to behold.

What a nice place to have lunch! :)

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

The Lord’s Prayer – Andrea Bocelli

DEAR GOD, who suffered torment, agony,
and death upon the Cross to free our souls
from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend
our troops. Guide them in the performance of
their duties. Strengthen them to endure hard-
ship,danger and deprivation in Your service. Let
their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghan-
istan from the chains of terror and slavery,
foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all
to a greater share in Your Mercy.
Amen.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24(KJV)

Have a Blessed Lord’s Day!

OOH RAH! SEMPER FI!

"Some people spend an entire lifetime
Wondering if they've made a difference.
The Marines don't have that problem."
