Hi FRiends!
((((HUGS)))
Love the Kitteh Pics! :-)
My kitties sleep like that most of the time! :)
(((((Praying the New Doctor can Help your Back)))))
My Tulip Bulbs Disappeared One Year, and I Always Wondered if Something had Dug them Up and Eaten them.
They don't Seem to Ever Touch the Daffodils and Grape Hyacinths, Thank Goodness!
Your Friendship Graphic is So Pretty in #175, Sweet Jaycee!
(((((Thank you for the Blessing)))))
Traveling by bus from Memphis, Tennessee, to St. Louis, Missouri, typically takes about 6 hours—unless the bus driver leaves you stranded at a gas station. This happened to 45 passengers aboard a bus who waited 8 hours overnight for a replacement driver after the original driver abandoned them. They must have felt frustrated by the delay, anxious about the outcome, and impatient for rescue.
Joseph probably shared those feelings when he landed in prison for a crime he didn’t commit (Gen. 39). Abandoned and forgotten by any human who might help him, he was stranded. Still, “the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor” (v.21). Eventually, the prison warden promoted Joseph to oversee fellow inmates, and whatever Joseph did, “the Lord made it prosper” (v.23). But despite God’s presence and blessing, Joseph remained incarcerated for years.
You may be stranded in a hospital room, a jail cell, a country far from home, or your own inner prison. No matter where you are, or how long you’ve been there, God’s mercy and kindness can reach you. Because He is God Almighty (Ex. 6:3) and present everywhere (Jer. 23:23-24), He can protect, promote, and provide for you when it seems no one else can help.
Read: Genesis 39:19-23
Yep...look at those PAWS!
By the time he’s grown, his paws will be as big as our feet! But I love him at this age. Wish we could give them a shot and they would stay that size....LOL!

Precious! :)
One of my students has a big German Shepherd who thinks he is still a rollicking jumpy puppy. Eek!
Thank you Meg, I really enjoy posting them. It would be sad to lose this place as a venue for posting for sure!
Thank you Mayor for each posting of Our Daily Bread.
I really enjoy your ministry of ODB. May Our Lord continue to Bless you and your family each day.
Praise The Lord!!!
Sometimes when the infinite God conveys His thoughts to finite man, mystery is the result. For example, there’s a profound verse in the book of Psalms that seems to present more questions than answers: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful servants” (116:15 niv).
I shake my head and wonder how that can be. I see things with earthbound eyes, and I have a tough time seeing what is “precious” about the fact that our daughter was taken in a car accident at the age of 17—or that any of us have lost cherished loved ones.
We begin to unwrap the mystery, though, when we consider that what is precious to the Lord is not confined to earthly blessings. This verse examines a heaven-based perspective. For instance, I know from Psalm 139:16 that Melissa’s arrival in God’s heaven was expected. God was looking for her arrival, and it was precious in His eyes. And think about this: Imagine the Father’s joy when He welcomes His children home and sees their absolute ecstasy in being face to face with His Son (see John 17:24).
When death comes for the follower of Christ, God opens His arms to welcome that person into His presence. Even through our tears, we can see how precious that is in God’s eyes.
Read: John 17:20-26
He has my Libby’s colors, and probably weighs more than she does...4 lbs. She is going to be big enough for the spaying/chipping and dew claw removal late this month.
Now for a much brighter note. It is something I did not know sent to me by a CPO friend.
Are you ready to shed a tear, or three?? After reading this, you will have, as I have!!
This is a shocker, as I never heard any of this before. His carousing with Waylon, Willie and the boys overshadowed his true accomplishments! You will be as surprised as I WAS!!!!
Please read the article below.......
Many people may have forgotten about his time in the U.S. Army.
He is the son of an Air Force General, and an accomplished Golden Gloves boxer, and he graduated from Pomona College with a B. S. Degree, and then became a Rhodes Scholar from Oxford University .
He joined the U.S. Army, at the prompting of his father. After
graduating from Officer Candidate School he attended and
graduated from both Army Airborne and Ranger training in the very
top of each class. He was selected for U. S. Army Special Forces
training but refused so that he could attend pilot training where
He earned his wings, and became an accomplished U.S. Army
helicopter (gun ship) pilot, and achieved the rank of Captain.
He was about to be promoted to the rank of Major, and appointed
to teach at West Point when he resigned his commission from the Army to go into music and acting.
You can tell by this video that his time in the military means a lot to him.
I won’t give away who it is. You should just watch. I bet you will be surprised that THIS man has done all of the above, before becoming famous!

Hopping for a early spring with no surprise winter freeze.
Let us pray and trust the LORD to be with us. Nothing is impossible to/for God. Remember the three friends of Daniel that survived the fiery furnace without even a hint of smoke being about them? Do we act as if it is ourself that will save us? It is the power of God that works miracles. Faith, Thanksgiving and gratitude is our part. We are to BELIEVE and doubt not. In Jesus name, amen.
