I’m going to toddle off to bed.

God bless you all, sleep well, and have pleasant dreams.

Thank you, Meg, for your anniversary well wishes.

Hubby 1.0 and I were married for one year. It seemed longer
than the soon-to-be 34 years with my darling precious Bryan.

Good evening, TOL.

So good to see you here today.

Loud noises bother me because it makes it harder to hear. Can’t be that my hearing is getting worse. :)

I had a busy day ..... don’t know what I did all day, but I hope it was productive. :)

Hope you had a wonderful day.

[JustAmy]

Hey ... you are newly weds!!

On Nov 16th, we will celebrate our 56th. We usually take a few days during Thanksgiving week for a family vacation at the beach. Something different this year .... we are going to Disney Land. We’ve been promising Marissa for about 3 years now.

LOL

Hi, LTOS, you do know what month it is, don’t you? Today felt like a spider web kinda day.

Hope you Tuesday was wonderful.

[TheOldLady]

Well! Congratulations on your long and happy union.

Bryan and I married late. I was 32, and he was 28.

It was my fault. I got so gun shy after Hubby 1.0 that I was afraid to marry Bryan and made him
wait nearly seven years before I said, “Yes.” And when I did, I thought he was going to faint.

Remind me to tell you the Ford Pinto story.

I gotta hit the hay. See you tomorrow, God willing.

[JustAmy]

Good night, Dear FRiends.

Thank you for coming by today.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Pleasant Dreams.

Losing And Finding Our Lives In Him
October 23, 2013

When Mother Teresa died in 1997, people marveled again at her example of humble service to Christ and to people in great need. She had spent 50 years ministering to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying through the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India.

After extensive interviews with her, British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge wrote: “There is much talk today about discovering an identity, as though it were something to be looked for, like a winning number in a lottery; then, once found, to be hoarded and treasured. Actually, . . . the more it is spent the richer it becomes. So, with Mother Teresa, in effacing herself, she becomes herself. I never met anyone more memorable.”

I suspect that many of us may be afraid of what will happen if we obey Jesus’ words: “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it” (Luke 9:23-24).

Our Savior reminded His followers that He came to give us life abundantly (John 10:10). We are called to lose our lives for Christ, and in so doing discover the fullness of life in Him.

“Take up thy cross and follow Me,”
I hear the blessed Savior call;
How can I make a lesser sacrifice
When Jesus gave His all? —Ackley

As we lose our lives for Christ, we find fullness of life in Him.

Read: Luke 9:18-27

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. —Luke 9:24

Bible in a Year:
Jeremiah 1-2; 1 Timothy 3
