This is such a cute poem with your graphics, yorkie!
Thanks~~~~!

[jaycee]

I agree totally!

I think she has a few screws loose with the stupid
statements she comes out with! Of course, she’s a
Democrat, what could WE expect??

Oh No!

I am so sorry you had a food problem! Eyew! Take care of yourself, dear Friend!

[jaycee]

Beautiful bird and colors, Meg.

I’m glad you had a nice visit with
your grandson and wife. I know you were
thrilled! (I read this in another post!)

” The kindest thing you can do for another is to show him the truth.”

It took me 55 years to learn this.....better late than never : )

You’ve come a long way, SJB - as have we all! Thank you.

[yorkie]

SO cute, JC! If they were together, I think they would be friends. (Look how that fish is ‘kissing’ that kitten’s nose!)

[stephenjohnbanker]

Thank YOU, Yorkie!

[yorkie]

I learned at a pretty early age - if you always tell the truth, you don’t have to ‘remember what you told to whom’.

The older I get, the more I respect that ‘learnin’.

Dittos !

[jaycee]

Thank you, yorkie! I liked it BUT since cats love fish better
than anything, my kitty would love to bite down
on that little gold fish...LOL! Makes an interesting graphic!
And a GOOD MORNING to you!!

So Long
October 22, 2011

My grandfather refused to say “goodbye”; he felt the word was too final. So, when we would drive away after family visits, his farewell ritual was always the same. Standing in front of the green ferns that lined his house, he would wave and call out, “So long”!

As believers, we never have to say “goodbye” to the ones we love, as long as they have placed their trust in Jesus as Savior. The Bible promises that we will see them again.

The apostle Paul said that we should not “sorrow as others who have no hope” (1 Thess. 4:13), because when Jesus returns, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves and—together with the believers who are still alive—will meet the Lord in the air (vv.15-17). We have confidence that one day in heaven there will be “no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying” (Rev. 21:4). It’s in that wonderful place that “we shall always be with the Lord” (1 Thess. 4:17).

Christians have the hope of an eternal reunion with Christ and with believing loved ones who have passed away. That’s why Paul exhorted us to “comfort one another with these words” (v.18). Today, encourage someone with the hope that allows us to say “so long,” instead of “goodbye.”

Beyond the sunset, O glad reunion
With our dear loved ones who’ve gone before;
In that fair homeland we’ll know no parting—
Beyond the sunset forevermore. —Brock

At death, God’s people don’t say “Goodbye,”
but “We’ll see you later.”

Read: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

[Do not] sorrow as others who have no hope. —1 Thessalonians 4:13

Bible in a year:
Isaiah 65-66; 1 Timothy 2

More company is coming today..I can't play
Hope your day is beautiful.

[GailA]

I missed yesterday, and will miss Tuesday..yet another nerve block. Just wish they'd fix the rotator cuff tear and get it over with, I've already gone a year with the tear, and a nearly useless hand.

Thought this would make a good wear Red Friday graphic
