Because of the Unions and the liberal administration and our ‘entitled’ youth, - our country is destined to fail.
I look at the youtube partying going on at all colleges here in America, - and then look at China - where the students are very intent on learning - not partying.
We are in so much trouble as a country.
I’m with you - I’m glad I won’t be around to see the outcome of all of this.
NAW!!! :)
BTTT
That is a crime against the children..and their chances to be productive..It is a crime against us because we will be supporting them.
There would be no Christmas without Christ..
They can wipe it out of stores and hospitals and town squares but not out of our hearts.
We must all be sure we keep Christ in Christmas...and our children and grandchildren are taught the true meaning of Christmas..
Lord..help us.
This is very SHOCKING, yorkie, but why is it that nothing in this country surprises me anymore. We are absolutely headed for disaster when we’re graduating students with no knowledge of anything! What jobs will they ever be able to perform? Its even unfair to the students who never get a failing grade and they’re too ignorant to know the difference.
*HUGS* to ALL!!
Thats precious, Pam. Thank you! I will see everyone later after some chores are done and I have breakfast!
Beautiful poetry and graphic, yorkie.
I loved everyone’s red Friday posts.
Happy you liked my darling baby boy.
I saw “pictures” of my to be born in April identical great grandsons..Yes ...more boys..I have 4 grandsons..
I had to leave dinner and bring a plate home..back was screaming at me..
Darn back.
Three grandsons, son DIL and beautiful mom to be all came here later bringing 5 desserts and many hugs and love..
I told my Granddaughter in law that prayers for healthy mom and healthy babies were expressed here for her..She thanked me ..said so far she has had an easy time..little nausea and only tireder than usual..All is well so far.
I had sweet Thanksgiving calls from Navy grandson, his wife ,now based in Norfolk, and my ill daughter and SIL.
I got lots of warm hugs..making it a great Thanksgiving.
:) Hope you have a great day, Jaycee!!
My son says that won't be a problem. They can always get a job anywhere! All they have to know is six simple words - and VOILA! They are hired!
"Will that be paper or plastic?"
Awww..beautiful kitties.
Wonderful, Meg! Just wonderful!!
How cute, Meg! Thank you!
:)........!!
Wishing you a great week-end!
Singing Bowl
November 26, 2011
Artist and scientist Michael Flynn designed a singing bowl for display in ArtPrize, an international art competition held in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The bowl requires no electricity but it does require something that is in short supply: cooperation.
As I observed people trying to make the bowl sing, I was surprised that none of them bothered to read the directions about rocking it gently. Instead, impatient to make music, they kept trying their own ideas. After a few minutes they walked away frustrated and disappointed, as if the bowl was defective.
How many times, I wonder, do we become frustrated that life isn’t working the way we think it should? We keep trying ways that seem right, but things keep turning out wrong. Instead of following God’s Word, we continue trying to find our own way.
The singing bowl reminds us that we can’t expect life to go well if we ignore the instructions of the Designer (Deut. 4:40). Failing to obey divides us from one another and separates us from God. To fulfill His plan for the world and make the way of salvation known (Ps. 67:2), we need to follow His instructions about living and working peacefully together. When life doesn’t go well, it may be that we’ve stopped following God’s plan.
I’ve tried it “my way”..doesn’t work out well!
Thank you, Rus.
You will smile, every time you think of
The visits,
the desserts,
the love,
the hugs,
the phone calls
all with Happy Thanksgiving Wishes
from those who love our Megs!
I'm so sorry your back
Caused you to leave sooner than planned
