The Goodness Of The Lord
August 26, 2011
Some years ago I came across a short essay written by Sir James Barrie, an English baron. In it he gives an intimate picture of his mother, who deeply loved God and His Word and who literally read her Bible to pieces. “It is mine now,” Sir James wrote, “and to me the black threads with which she stitched it are a part of the contents.”
My mother also loved God’s Word. She read and pondered it for 60 years or more. I keep her Bible on my bookshelf in a prominent place. It too is tattered and torn, each stained page marked with her comments and reflections. As a boy, I often walked into her room in the morning and found her cradling her Bible in her lap, poring over its words. She did so until the day she could no longer see the words on the page. Even then her Bible was the most precious book in her possession.
When Sir James’ mother grew old, she could no longer read the words of her Bible. Yet daily, her husband put her Bible in her hands, and she would reverently hold it there.
The psalmist wrote, “How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth” (119:103). Have you tasted the goodness of the Lord? Open your Bible today.
The Bible, the Bible! more precious than gold;
Glad hopes and bright glories its pages unfold;
It speaks of the Father and tells of His love,
And shows us the way to the mansions above. —Anon.
A well-read Bible is a sign of a well-fed soul.
Read: Psalm 119:97-104

First, I want to ‘thank’ JC for all the trouble she has caused.
First - she caused the earthquake, by jumping up and down, (when her computer went down).
Then, she caused the hurricane, by screaming and pulling her hair (when her computer went down)
But, did she stop there? NOoooo. She caused FR to go down (cuz if SHE couldn’t get on - NObody could!)
(Ya think her computer is back and running?) LOL!
To: MEG33; All
That is a beautiful bird graphic, Meg!
Wear red today,
To show Love and Support
For our Troops!
To: yorkie; jaycee
ROFLOL..It’s Jaycee’s Fault!
I hope her computer gets well soon..I’m missing jaycee.

Me, too, Teenie! I love this brown-eyed puppy poem!
To: tiapam; yorkie; MEG33
When I first saw that video a few days ago, I lost all composure. Went looking for a good dog poem and found that one. Thought it would fit the bill.
Glad you all enjoyed it. Thanks! (I did as well...lol)

I think we should ‘thank’ jaycee for getting it done all at ONE TIME instead of stringing it out! :)

Conor! I thought SURE you would have ‘hit the road’ west, by now. PLEASE stay safe! *HUGS*
To: yorkie
We're not in a flood area - as long as a tree doesn't come into our house we should be okay.

I was wondering this morning - why don’t people use heavy wire to secure trees that are close to homes? (Using very deep holds, of course).
PLEASE stay safe - prayers up for you and other FRiends in the track of this storm!
To: yorkie
Thanks very much, Yorkie!
