PRAYERS GOING UP FOR OUR FRIEND DUBYA!

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Emails are notorious for mis-information! lol

[MEG33]

;o)

Thanks, teenie! I had seen tiny clips of it on t.v. but I
enjoyed hearing the whole song! Great voice!

[jaycee]

I think I got that email 100 times, too! As a matter of fact,
I had it again about 2 weeks ago and of course, I
explained it and sent a link so they would know!

[Waryone]

Dubya,

May the Lord grant you healing and peace. I will be praying for your full recovery and restoration.

[jaycee]

Dubya, your Amy's Place FRiends
are Thinking of you and Praying Daily!

Tommy Dorsey did some great tunes,
But “Precious Lord” wasn’t one of them! LOL.

The WORST one is the one about the Koran, Surah 9:11.

I did quite a bit of research on THAT one.

The ONLY time an “Eagle” is mentioned in ALL of the Islamic writings is in one hadith (I believe it was Bukhari) where the ransom amount is given for stealing an eagle and holding it for ransom. I kid you NOT! I am NOT making this up.

I'm glad to be informed of this as I do not know anything about the Islamic writings! Thank you, Mary Lou!

I didn’t either.

I used the Internet a lot in researching that dumb email! It just did not make sense to me. Eagles are NOT Mentioned in the Koran at all. Just that once in an endless maze of Hadiths (commentaries).

However, Eagles ARE mentioned in the Bible. Isaiah 40 is a Gorgeous Example!

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Teenie. I’m going to post a prayer thread either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Father, hear our prayers.

[Diver Dave]

Offering up prayers to Our Great Physician for comfort and healing, dubya.

Like so many here, we have a direct connection to Our Heavenly Father.

[jaycee]

AMEN to both of your posts. Lets keep the prayers going. I pray that Dubya is comfortable and not in a lot of pain. And I pray God will provide healing for our FRiend, Dubya!

Investing In The Future
October 19, 2011

Jason Bohn was a college student when he made a hole-in-one golf shot that won him a million dollars. While others may have squandered that money, Bohn had a plan. Wanting to be a pro golfer, he used the money as a living-and-training fund to improve his golf skills. The cash became an investment in his future—an investment that paid off when Bohn won the PGA Tour’s 2005 B.C. Open. Bohn’s decision to invest in the future instead of living for the moment was a wise one indeed.

In a sense, that is what Jesus calls us to do. We have been entrusted with resources—time, ability, opportunity— and we decide how to use them. Our challenge is to see those resources as an opportunity to invest long-term. “Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” is how Jesus put it in Matthew 6:20. Those protected treasures cannot be destroyed nor taken away, Jesus assures us.

Think of your resources: talent, time, knowledge. These are temporal and limited. But if you invest them with an eye toward eternity, these temporary things can have enduring impact. What is your focus? Now or forever? Invest in the future. It will not only have an eternal impact, but it will also change the way you view life each day.

Whatever is done in love for Christ
Will one day have heaven’s reward;
Today let’s do what we can for Him,
Our loving Savior and Lord. —Hess

The richest people on earth
are those who invest their lives in heaven.>

Read: Matthew 6:19-24

Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. —Matthew 6:20

Bible in a year:
Isaiah 56-58; 2 Thessalonians 2

Amen Dave, AMEN!
