What awful news from your friend. I pray that Mary can stay strong (as possible in her condition) and that the Lord will
hear her plea for mercy and take care of her needs.
Prayers Up for Mary
This breaks my heart, yorkie. Dear Lord, please wrap your arms around Mary and give her strength and health to go on. Only you Lord are able to perform miracles. Mary needs a real miracle. We thank you, Father, and we give You the Praise. Amen.
(Yorkie, I bet the illegals aren’t suffering....they have more money coming in from the government than the rest of us.) Makes my blood boil sometimes. ((((HUGS))))
I am a soldier in God’s Army
I am a soldier in the army of my God. The Lord Jesus Christ is my commanding officer. The Holy Bible is my code of conduct. Faith, prayer, and the Word are my weapons of warfare. I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity and tested by fire. I am a volunteer in this army, and I am enlisted for eternity. I will not get out, sell out, be talked out, or pushed out. I am faithful, reliable, capable and dependable.
If my God needs me, I am there. If He needs me in the Sunday school, to teach the children, work with the youth, help adults or just sit and learn, He can use me because I am there! I am a soldier. I do not need to be pampered, petted, primed up, pumped up, picked up or pepped up. I am a soldier. I am in place, saluting my King, obeying His orders, praising His name, and building His kingdom! No one has to send me flowers, gifts, food, cards, candy or give me handouts. I am committed. I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me around. I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside. I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit.
When Jesus called me into this army, I had nothing. If I end up with nothing, I will still come out ahead. I will win. My God has and will continue to supply all of my needs. I am more than a conqueror. I will always triumph. I can do all things through Christ. Devils cannot defeat me. People cannot disillusion me. Weather cannot weary me. Sickness cannot stop me. Money cannot buy me. Governments cannot silence me and hell cannot handle me. I am a soldier. Even death cannot destroy me. For when my commander calls me from this battlefield, . I am a soldier in the army, and I’m marching claiming victory. I will not give up. I will not turn around. I am a soldier, marching heaven bound. Here I stand! Will you stand with me?
Guess what? If you’ve accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior you’re already enlisted! Question is, which part of the service are you in:
1. Active Duty: Serving the Lord faithfully, daily, and on duty 24-7?
2. Reserve status: Serving only when called upon or twice a year, Christmas and Easter?
3. Guard status: Backing up the Active Duty group? or
4. AWOL! Absent without the Lord?
THANK ABOUT IT
That is so cute Meg.
Would you all please keep me in your prayers tomorrow, I’m having a nerve block done for the C 4-7 disc.
Folks, thank you for your prayers - both in email and here.
I didn’t mean to bring the thread down, and hope you all will forgive me. (I try to NEVER post anything negative, but this situation has taken it’s toll on my heart.)
I think we all (at one time or another) have experienced something so devastating that we can’t help but ask our FRiends for prayer.
Thank you, and ((((HUGS)))) to all!
Prayers will continue for Mary
Prayers offered up to Our Great Physician as he guides your surgeon.
Thought I’d share a thought with y’all...
A number of years ago I was engaged in a conversation with a fellow Christian and we were talking about prayer requests.
This individual shared that when praying a request to Our Lord, that after the first request, the following prayers should be prayers of thanksgiving for hearing our prayer and answering them. God is not deaf, He hears our prayer requests and answers them in His own perfect timing.
Tomorrow, I’ll offer thanks for answered prayer.
PTL
PTL, DD! (And, thank you!)
Insanely busy today.
But Happy WFW!
(((HUGS)))
Sometimes we just need our friends to pray with us. I understand that. :)

Cow On The Tracks
A passenger train is creeping along, slowly. Finally it creaks to a halt. A passenger sees a conductor walking by outside.
“What’s going on?” she yells out the window.
“Cow on the track!” replies the conductor.
Ten minutes later, the train resumes its slow pace.
Within five minutes, however, it stops again.
The woman sees the same conductor walk again.
She leans out the window and yells, “What happened? Did we catch up with the cow again?”
A Woman’s Poem
He didn’t like the casserole
And he didn’t like my cake.
My biscuits were too hard,
Not like his mother used to make.
I didn’t perk the coffee right
He didn’t like the stew.
I didn’t mend his socks,
The way his mother used to do.
Flight Museum
At the Boeing Museum of Flight in Seattle, there is a full size mockup of an F/A-18 fighter. A ramp allows visitors to climb into the cockpit and get a sense of what the pilot sees and feels.
A guide at the top of the ramp points out the various controls and gauges in the cockpit and gives information about the aircraft’s capabilities to each visitor who gets in.
When my two-year-old son sat down in the plane, he seemed fascinated by all he saw and heard. Then, he looked out at us and said, “Gramma, could I have a quarter?”
How to Detect a Mental Deficiency
A noted psychiatrist was a guest at a blonde gathering, and his hostess naturally broached the subject in which the doctor was most at ease. “Would you mind telling me, Doctor,” she asked, “how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?”
“Nothing is easier,” he replied. “You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If he hesitates, that puts you on the track.”
“What sort of question?”
“Well, you might ask him, ‘Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?’
The blonde thought a moment, then said with a nervous laugh, “You wouldn’t happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don’t know much about history.”
