thanks meg.. good to be here. That pix is lovely. I dont like fall & winter particularly but do love the wonderful colors & displays with straw, flowers, gourds/pumpkins etc..

well, I am to meet a friend for breakfast before worship this morning so I best get ready. He is in town for a few days and was involved in a family event last night. He too is a photographer & will be bringing me the pix to see. He will be on his way back to Connecticut after we eat. He was in my HS grad class & we were good friends throughout high school & lost contact til our 25th reunion, the first we both attended

~Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place~


For The Beauty Of The Earth

1. For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.

~Blessings To All Who Enter Here~

A Family Trait
November 20, 2011

There’s an old Sunday school song that periodically comes back to my mind. Its words testify to the blessing of the peace that Jesus so generously gives: “I have the peace that passes understanding down in my heart—down in my heart to stay!”

There is something missing in that well-intentioned song, however. The peace of God is truly a gift we enjoy in our hearts as we fellowship in His presence (John 14:27; 16:33). But He never intended for us to keep all of that peace to ourselves. Peace is a gift to be shared with those around us. As Christians, it should mark our relationships and characterize the environment of our churches.

In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers” (Matt. 5:9), which indicates that we are to be intentional about bringing peace to our relationships. Since we are prone to be troublemakers instead of peacemakers, this is important advice. So, what does peacemaking look like? Peacemakers are those who turn the other cheek (v.39), go the extra mile (v.41), and love their enemies while praying for those who persecute them (v.44).

Why should we do this? Because God is a peacemaker, and when we make peace we are “called sons of God” (v.9). Peacemaking is a family trait.

Lord, thank You for the peace we have down in our
hearts. And that we can be peacemakers with others
through our attitude, words, and deeds.
Help me to show Your mercy and peace. Amen.

Because of the peace of God and peace with God,
we can be peacemakers for God.
Read: Matthew 5:9,38-48
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. —Matthew 5:9
Bible in a year:
Ezekiel 14-15; James 2

All of my leaves have fallen. There’s a few stragglers hanging on but the trees are quite bare now. My sons picked the leaves up with the lawnmower about every two weeks. One more sweeping and they’ll be gone and waiting for the snow...LOL!

A couple of nights ago, we got down to 26 but the temps rose to the 50’s up in the day. We were about 43 last night and are up to 60 now. We will be having very cold days and now and then a warming up. I DO NOT LIKE the real cold weather!

~A Blessed Thanksgiving Week to Everyone~

Bless This House

Bless this house, O Lord we pray,
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls, so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out;

Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let Thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
Ever open to joy and love.

Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God’s heav’nly light;
Bless the hearth a-blazing there,
With smoke ascending like a prayer;

Bless the folk who dwell within,
Keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit, O Lord, to dwell with Thee,

Bless us all that one day we
May dwell, O Lord with Thee.
