A PRAYER FOR LOVE

simmer slowly O my heart
let love be slow and true
let passion be in every part
let me enjoy the view

let love be lasting, long, and tried
let her love be the same
let both of us subdue our pride
let neither hold a blame

let me find the depth of soul
and help me learn to please
let two halves become a whole
and every moment seize

I ask not for a perfect love
but one I could endeavor
and give it blessings from above
and let it last forever.

I know, Teenie! I would adopt her in a second!

Thank you

[luvie]

Glad you enjoyed it....good to see you! :)

[yorkie]

Oh, Fish Hawk, that is so beautiful!

May I make a suggestion? To have the love of both, last forever............ go into your secret chamber (that the two of you painstakingly built together), and lock out Father Time.

Bless you and the lady who is blessed to have captured your heart!

Merry Christmas!

[yorkie]

Love it, Luv!

Merry Christmas to you and your ‘better half’!

[yorkie]

Kitty, that is such a lovely graphic! Thank YOU for all your lovely, amazingly sweet, peaceful graphics each night!

Wishing you a relaxing week with a peaceful celebration of the Birth of our Savior.

The Soldier’s Code

1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

Always On Duty
December 20, 2011

As my kids were discarding their trash at the local mall food court, my oldest son was almost run into by a man who was clearly on a mission. My younger son jokingly remarked, “Maybe he stole something.” Thinking I might be able to use this as a teachable moment, I said, “That’s what the Bible calls judging.” He then asked with a smile: “Why are you always ‘pastoring’ me?” After I finished laughing, I told my sons that I could never take a vacation from shepherding them.

The apostle Paul told the Ephesian elders that they too could never take a vacation from shepherding God’s people (Acts 20). He was convinced that false teachers would try to ravage the church (v.29), and the elders needed to protect the group from them. Caring for God’s people includes feeding them spiritually, leading them gently, and warning them firmly. Leaders in the church are to be motivated by the incalculable price Christ paid on the cross (v.28).

Church leaders have a big responsibility to watch over our souls, for one day they will give an account to the Lord for their work among us. Let’s bring them joy now by responding to their faithful, godly leadership with obedience and submission (Heb. 13:17).

We join our hearts and hands together
Faithful to the Lord’s command:
We hold each other to God’s standards—
All that truth and love demand. —D. De Haan

After we hear the Word of God,
we should then take up the work of God.

Read: Acts 20:22-32

Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. —Hebrews 13:17

Bible in a year:
Micah 1-3; Revelation 11
