On another thread posted we are informed that Queen Elizabeth celebrates her 60th anniversary today as the Queen of England.

I remember watching her coronation when I was a young pup.

Also, my Mom collected china cups and saucers. My Dad bought Mom a cup and saucer which commemorated the Queens coronation with a picture of the Queen on the cup and saucer.

When Mom passed away, that cup and saucer was passed on to me. We gave that cup and saucer to our oldest daughter in honor of her husband who is from England. I'd say it is indeed a collector's item.

Consider The Source
February 6, 2012

I love cinnamon. I love cinnamon rolls, cinnamon graham crackers, cinnamon candies, cinnamon toast, cinnamon apples, and cinnamon pretzels. Cinnamon is one of those spices that makes other things taste better. However, it never crossed my mind to think about where cinnamon comes from. Then, on a recent trip to Sri Lanka, I learned that 90 percent of all the cinnamon in the world comes from that island nation located in the Indian Ocean. For all of the cinnamon I’ve enjoyed over the years, I never stopped to consider its source.

Sadly, my walk with Christ is sometimes like that. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife, five children, and grandchildren who are more fun than a barrel of monkeys. In the midst of my enjoyment of them, however, I sometimes fail to consider the source of those blessings—what the hymnwriter called the “fount of every blessing.” James put it like this: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning” (1:17).

How ungrateful we would be to enjoy the rich blessings of life without thanking the Father who is the source of all of creation.

Dear Lord, from whom all blessings flow,
Most precious gifts dost Thou bestow;
So truly faithful may I be
As Thou art gracious unto me. —Roworth

Gratitude is a God-honoring attitude.

Read: James 1:12-18

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights. —James 1:17

Bible in a year:
Numbers 4-6

What Wonderful Keepsakes those would be, Dave! Your Daughter and her Husband are Blessed.

I was Sorry to Hear of the Health Setbacks you had, Dear Brother in Christ, and am Continuing with you in Prayer.
May your Blood Counts and Immune System Rebound Quickly, and the Pneumonia be Healed Speedily.
