I truly needed a little help on the snow. I am still slow on doing that! I do a lot of copying and pasting!

I will try to be back sometime today. I have a plumber coming today and have to get straightened up, etc. He is so busy I’ve been waiting for his free time since last Friday. He’s a great plumber and that’s why he is so busy!!

Thank you, Meg!

This Do In Remembrance
December 7, 2011

When a US Navy vessel arrives or departs from the military bases in Pearl Harbor, the crew of that ship lines up in dress uniform. They stand at attention at arm’s length on the outer edges of the deck, in salute to the soldiers, sailors, and civilians who died on December 7, 1941. It is a stirring sight, and participants often list it among the most memorable moments of their military career.

Even for spectators on shore, the salute triggers an incredible emotional connection, but especially between the servants of today and the servants of yesterday. It grants nobility to the work of today’s sailor, while giving dignity to the sacrifice of those from the past.

When Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper (Matt. 26:26-29), it was surely with an eye toward creating this same kind of emotional bond. Our participation in the Lord’s Table honors His sacrifice while also granting us a connection to Him unlike any other act of remembrance.

Just as the Navy carefully prescribes the way it salutes the fallen, so too Scripture teaches us how to remember Jesus’ sacrifice (1 Cor. 11:26-28). These acts of reverence and thanksgiving serve to honor past action while giving purpose to present service.

Action Suggestion:
Read with fresh eyes the detailed instructions Scripture
offers for the Lord’s Supper in 1 Corinthians 11, and
experience anew its power in your spiritual journey.

The Lord’s Supper— Christ’s memorial that He left for us.

Read: 1 Corinthians 11:23-34

When [Jesus] had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you.” —1 Corinthians 11:24

Bible in a year:
Daniel 5-7; 2 John

Thank you, Meg. She will see it tonight.

We are having pizza, cake and ice cream with a couple of small gifts tonight.

Friday, Jr will be here so we will have an ice cream cake and gifts. Then she gets to pick where we will have dinner Saturday night. Celebrating for 3 days ain’t bad! LOL

Bob has been sending Marissa a birthday poem every year. Here is the first one he wrote for her. I will post this years after I get the perfect graphic. :)

Thank you for remembering, Bob.

Happy Birthday, Marissa!

A most Happy Birthday, Marissa!
You have waited for it to arrive,
You’ve had so much fun being four years old,
And now you will get to be five!

There’s something that I have to tell you,
I don’t think you’ll like it so hot.
I know that you think this is your special day,
But it’s one someone else sure has got!

You’ll hear people talk of Pearl Harbor,
And of how this is Her special day,
Then they’ll talk about real nasty things,
That happened an ocean away.

Be careful when having a party,
Even if you have planned it all day,
There are people who come when they shouldn’t,
And have terrible games that they play.

And for those who don’t play well with others,
Or who must misbehave in some way,
They should never again go to parties,
And should stay in their corner all day.

Cold here too, around 20 this morning.
Sunny, so it looks nice, until you go out in the wind!

Going with my sister to see The Muppet movie in a little while.

Sis and I both have cabin fever already.

: )

Have a great day everyone!

[luvie]

Very sweet!

Today’s ODB has a personal message for me, Rus. I’ve sailed into Pearl Harbor past the Arizona Memorial on two occasions. It is indeed a powerful experience to render honors to fallen comrades from Pearl Harbor.

The Lord’s Supper is also an emotional experience for me.

Thank you for your continuing ministry, Rus.

[Diver Dave]

Powerful Pledge graphic.
Thank You.

[Diver Dave]

Thanks for that Pearl Harbor footage.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Dave.

On Monday, I planned to post a Pledge Graphic. As I was looking through my files, this one jumped out so I decided to wait until today for this post..

God Bless our Military ... past, present and future.

You are very welcome, Dave. It’s a sobering video for sure!
