That is so cute, Meg.

[oldteen]

Totally hilarious. Another pet of leisure!

[jaycee]

Hi teenie! As I just told Meg, I’m getting ready for my nap...I can hardly keep my eyes open. Hope all is well with you, my friend. (((HUGS)))

[oldteen]

Hope that nap was refreshing!

I see we are having a "Spa" Day, today!
(And, what's a 'spa' day without a good massage?)

Happy Cat-urday and Happy Dog-urday!

[lonestar]

That looks good to me! I would fall asleep.

[jaycee]

That is so darling!

[jaycee]

It was a good nap for sure!
Am I the only one on here that takes a nap? I will admit I do get up very early in the mornings. A lot of people say they don’t sleep good at night if they nap BUT it doesn’t bother this ole’ gal!!

It’s a Dog’s life in this modern world!

[oldteen]

I haven’t had a nap in so long. I’m one of those who can’t sleep at night if I do. As it is I’m never in bed before midnight.

Water Problems
June 23, 2013

Our church family was excited to see work begin on our new sanctuary. Each Sunday we eagerly looked at the big hole in the ground. But progress seemed slow.

It all came down to water. Too much in one place and not enough in another. An underground spring was one problem. Construction could not continue until inspectors were satisfied that water was being directed away from the site. At the same time, city officials said we didn’t have enough water coming into the building for a sprinkler system—so new lines for water had to be added. None of us wanted the project to be slowed down by these rulings, but we realized that if codes weren’t followed, we would face serious problems in the future.

Sometimes we grumble about government and other officials. But a proper respect for authority honors God. Paul, who had his own problems with those in charge, wrote, “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities” (Rom. 13:1). And later, “Do what is good, and you will have praise from [the authorities]” (v.3).

As we let God’s Spirit teach us, we can have a healthy attitude toward government. It’s for our good, the testimony of our faith, and most of all for God’s honor.

Thank You, Lord, for people who are willing to serve in
our local, state, and national governments. We pray that
they will seek righteousness and justice and that You
will help us to respect those You have placed over us.

Respect for authority brings glory to God.

Read: Romans 13:1-7

There is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. —Romans 13:1

Bible in a Year:
Esther 9-10; Acts 7:1-21

A Blessed Sunday to You!

[yorkie]

Oh, thank you, Meg! Beautiful graphic! The scripture is so uplifting, and we SURE need uplifting words, today! I am so thankful for His PROMISES!

[yorkie]

Weeping may endure for a night...

But JOY comes in the morning!
~Psalm 30:5~

[jaycee]

Thanks to you all for the lovely graphics and sweet messages for our glorious Sunday! Hope all of you are enjoying a nice Sunday. The sun is shining brightly here in Bristol today but its still a little hot to sit outside but I will not complain. I am satisfied with whatever the weather is that HE gives us.

God Bless all of our Amy’s Place friends. Wishing all of you a lovely and peaceful day.

[jaycee]

That is one of my favorite Psalms, yorkie. And “Joy does come in the morning”. Have a sweet day!!
