Have a great weekend and Happy Father's day to all you Dad's.
When I was a child, someone close to me thought they could motivate me to do better by frequently asking me, “Why are you so stupid?” I didn’t know how much this had affected me until I was a teenager and heard someone behind me say, “Stupid!” At the word, I quickly turned around, thinking he was talking to me.
Knowing Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord helped me to realize that because God created me in His image (Gen. 1:27), I’m not stupid but am “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Ps. 139:14). God declares that all He has made is “very good” (Gen. 1:31), and the Psalms remind us that we are “skillfully wrought” (Ps. 139:15).
The psalmist David describes how God knows each one of us intimately: “O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways” (vv.1-3).
Not only are we wonderfully made, but because of Christ’s death on the cross, we can also be wonderfully restored to a right relationship with God. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation . . . . All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ” (2 Cor. 5:17-18 NIV).
Read: Psalm 139:1-16

Linda LOVES riding in the car. Even if it is to the bank, or even the VET. It is the very pinnacle of the joy of her existence!
Well, she is a doggie, after all. I’ll bet she doesn’t like
ARRIVING at the vet’s. LOL!
She is so forgiving and accepting, that she even LIKES the Vet!
She was found as a pup wandering the mean streets of Atlanta, Georgia, so she is grateful for any attention at all, even if it is a heartworm test.
She is NOT fond of other dogs though.
I am glad that my namesake :) and you found each other! She sounds like a very good girl...unlike myself. LOL!
LOL! Suuuureee it does! :)
Happy day to you! :)
I love this thought from the Scriptures ...
His eye is on the sparrow ... I know He watches me.

Matthew 10:29-31
King James Version (KJV)
“...
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
...”

“Early in the spring of 1905, my husband and I were sojourning in Elmira, New York. We contracted a deep friendship for a couple by the name of Mr. and Mrs. Doolittle—true saints of God. Mrs. Doolittle had been bedridden for nigh twenty years. Her husband was an incurable cripple who had to propel himself to and from his business in a wheel chair. Despite their afflictions, they lived happy Christian lives, bringing inspiration and comfort to all who knew them. One day while we were visiting with the Doolittles, my husband commented on their bright hopefulness and asked them for the secret of it. Mrs. Doolittle’s reply was simple: “His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.” The beauty of this simple expression of boundless faith gripped the hearts and fired the imagination of Dr. Martin and me. The hymn “His Eye Is on the Sparrow” was the outcome of that experience.

The next day she mailed the poem to Charles Gabriel, who supplied the music. Singer Ethel Waters so loved this song that she used its name as the title for her autobiography.
Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Refrain
I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
“Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Refrain
Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.”

Thank the LORD! Hallelujah!
LOL!
Ha Ha Ha! I used to
Spell” in front of Torey(RIP) but she was a Border Collie, so i wasn’t fooling HER.
~Happy Caturday/Dogurday~
It’s TRUE!
Blonds DO have more fun!
Camo Cat! :)
Thanks Meg, enjoy your company.
Our pets have a hard life, don’t they? snicker...
Oh my, that kitty blends right into the background, lol! Thanks Teenie.
Happy Father’s Day to all the men who visit here at Amy’s Place. Being a dad is probably the most rewarding and frustrating thing while in the journey(sorta like being a mom). Hope you are able to spend time with the kiddos and that is not always a given in today’s spread out society and expenses of travel.
God Bless my friends here on this Lord’s day - Men and Women Both!
