(((((Thank you, Dear Jaycee!)))))
I Love your Beautiful Friendship Post #150.

[jaycee]

Hope You All Are Having a Nice Day!

I've been working on my paperwork today
but am running mighty slow. There's a million
things I'd rather be doing!
I am also having a stomach bug today and
not feeling 100%. Will try to get most
of it done so I can start tomorrow off better.
Hope your day is wonderful!

[jaycee]

Thank you, my sweet friend. On these last ones we must have been working on them at the same time and they both have pinkish roses in them. I hope you are having a very good day. We are in the 40's and thats good compared to our recent weather. I do hear we may be getting some more sorta bad weather but I just keep telling myself that "Spring is just around the corner." Might as well be optimistic today.

[luvie]

Hope you’re better soon!

[jaycee]

Thank you very much, Luv. I didn’t get much bookwork done because of the tummy but Lord willing, tomorrow is a new day. I think I ate too many goodies and junk yesterday and that’ll do it! ((((HUGS))))

[Kitty Mittens]

Your Graphics are So Beautiful, Dear FRiend!
Your Posts have Blessed me So Many Times, Bringing Joy, Smiles, and Happiness to my Heart.
(((((Thank you, my Sweet FRiend and Sister in Christ!)))))

Some of my Crocus' have the Beginnings of Buds on them, a Sign that Spring is just Around the Bend, and I'm So Glad.
I can't Wait to See those Pretty Flowers!
The Cold Weather will Soon be Past, and the Wonderful Warmth of Spring will be Here.

(((((Prayers your Stomach will Feel Much Better Tomorrow, Jaycee)))))

I grew up on these songs, and there is nothing wrong with them that just upping the tempo and adding some country western or blue grass sound would not make these wonderful old songs new again. These songs came from the hearts of men who loved God, not some hypnotic praise hymn that has no real meaning than most churches are going to today.

See what I mean with Lilly of the Valley, played the original way it is a much slower song. But Willie really kicked it up and made it new again.

Seeing the new back doc today in a couple hrs, pray hard he finds something he can actually FIX not just send me to 4 times failed PT, 3 failed nerve blocks and cannot take narcotic pain meds or any of their anti-inflamatory ones if I want a GI system that works and they are not going to be cutting out sections of bowel because their stupid drugs impacted it.

By Our Deeds
February 6, 2013

One night a clergyman was walking to church when a thief pulled a gun on him and demanded his money or his life. When he reached in his pocket to hand over his wallet, the robber saw his clerical collar and said: “I see you are a priest. Never mind, you can go.” The clergyman, surprised by the robber’s unexpected act of piety, offered him a candy bar. The robber said, “No thank you. I don’t eat candy during Lent.”

The man had given up candy as a supposed sacrifice for Lent, but his lifestyle of stealing showed his real character! According to the writer of Proverbs, conduct is the best indicator of character. If someone says he is a godly person, his words can only be proven by consistent actions (20:11). This was true of the religious leaders in Jesus’ day as well. He condemned the Pharisees and exposed their sham for professing godliness but denying that profession with sin in their lives (Matt. 23:13-36). Appearances and words are deceiving; behavior is the best judge of character. This applies to all of us.

As followers of Jesus, we demonstrate our love for Him by what we do, not just by what we say. May our devotion to God, because of His love for us, be revealed in our actions today.

Spiritual words are mere distractions
If not backed up by our godly actions,
And all our good and beautiful creeds
Are nothing without God-honoring deeds. —Williams

Conduct is the best proof of character.

Read: Matthew 23:23-31

Even a child is known by his deeds, whether what he does is pure and right. —Proverbs 20:11

Bible in a Year:
Exodus 39-40; Matthew 23:23-39

Thank you for your sweet words and precious kitty cat!

I’m excited about Spring, too! Its sunny today and will be 50! Thats not much but better than what we have had.

I had a little bunch of crocus outside my kitchen window and I haven’t seen them yet. They generally bloom before this. I wonder if the squirrels dig them up sometimes and eat the bulbs.

By the way, my tummy does feel better today so I guess I will work on the old paperwork today that I didn’t get done yesterday. Oh, what a lovely job.....NOT!

Hope you have a beautiful day, KItty.

[jaycee]

Good luck Gail, with the new back doctor. I sure hope he can help you because none of mine have ever helped me. Thank goodness I can take the pills for the pain and they don’t hurt my stomach. They do make me sleepy sometimes though.

I am getting ready to finish my bookwork that I didn’t feel like doing yesterday.....shucks!

Have a great day, if possible!

“God knows our heart”. If there are not works, deeds, I wonder if such a one is deceived into thinking ... once saved always saved. The saved person desires to do works, deeds, and does so in some manner. Not all can be teachers. There are many ways to do works. Satan is a deceiver and many seem to take their religion lightly. and believes they can do anything and then just ask God to forgive them. “God is not mocked.”

There is an area here that we must consider according to the Scriptures. God bless us and help us to understand and be obedient to thy Word in Jesus name, amen.

If we didn’t have kitty cats, we wouldn’t have much to talk about, would we? They are entertaining.

[jaycee]

They’re so sweet!
