Soooo...did you get 'out and about'?

Sure hope so. Gotta do those things while the sun is shining! :)

[oldteen]

Cute little kitty, jaycee!

Thank you!

You should be resting that upper back of yours!

[oldteen]

:)

Only one more session

At least that's one thing to look forward to.

Prayers continue that once the surgery is complete you're fully free of that evil disease!

[Diver Dave]

Thank You, teenie.

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you for your Sweet Posts, Dear (((((Jaycee!)))))

I'm Sorry your Back isn't Feeling Better, and Pray it will Get Better Overnight.
If it doesn't Improve Soon, the Chiropractor can Hopefully Bring Relief.

My Back is Better than it was a Few Weeks Ago, but still Hurts Some Everyday.
I'm Hopeful it will Continue to Improve Over Time from the Surgery in October.

(((((Caring Prayers, my Sweet FRiend)))))

[Kitty Mittens]

Only one more session next week and I’ll be done with chemo.

I'm Glad there is Only One Session Left, Dave, and will be Praying for the Surgery, with All my Heart.

(((((God Bless)))))

[Diver Dave]

Thank You, Kitty Mittens.

I had to discontinue two pain and nerve meds that I take for my back and leg issues because they effect other issues in the blood.

[Kitty Mittens]

Bless your Heart, my FRiend. May our Savior, our Loving Shepherd-King, Bring Relief from Discomfort and Pain.

Healing Prayers For My Hurting FRiends

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Meg - I for one believe in the healing power of prayer.



"If thou shouldst never see my face again,
Pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and day.
For what are men better than sheep or goats
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer
Both for themselves and those who call them friend?"

From Le Morte d'Arthur by Alfred Lord Tennyson


Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

[MEG33]

I do , too..
This is beautiful, Conor!

[JustAmy]

Awww ... thank you, Kitty. Those puppies are precious.

Hope you had a restful, painfree night.

Have a great Friday.

Hidden In The Rock
January 27, 2012

The story is told of a young preacher named Augustus Toplady, who was taking a walk through the English countryside when a sudden storm swept across the landscape. Toplady spotted a wide rock formation with an opening—a cleft—where he sought shelter until the storm passed. As he sat out the deluge, he contemplated the connection between his shelter and God’s help in life’s storms.

He had no paper to write on but found a playing card on the floor of the cavelike structure and began to write the words to the beloved hymn “Rock of Ages.”

Written on that stormy day in 1775, this hymn has been a source of strength for Christians ever since.

Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.

Think of your struggles. Do you need a place to hide? Do you need Someone to shelter you from life’s assaults? Do you need the assurance that you’ve been forgiven? As Toplady experienced, we can find shelter and assurance in God.

Don’t stand out in life’s storms alone. Seek God’s shelter. Ask Him to protect you. Make sure you have received His forgiveness. Get close to the Rock of Ages. It’s life’s safest spot.

When the world around you is crumbling,
God is the rock on which you can stand.

Read: Psalm 18:30-36

The Lord is my rock and my fortress. —Psalm 18:2

Bible in a year:
Exodus 38-40

[MEG33]

Amen! I love the story of how this song was written.
Thank you for starting our day off right today and every day, Rus.
