I always enjoy your poetry and whatever threads. Such a refreshing break from the usual and oft frustrating political threads :-)

I wish I had the gift and could create beautiful poetry.

Hang in there Amy.

Thank you, Bobalu.

I enjoy poetry and great graphics. I don’t write poetry but I enjoy posting other people’s and finding graphics to go with them.

It helps to have a distraction from the day to day political Stuff.

So happy to see you hear ... hope you come back again and again.

Happy November!

Amy, here are some small images of paintings by one of my favorite artists, John Bampfield. :-)

Loved To Love
November 1, 2013

“A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.” I saw this quotation, attributed to the Wizard of Oz, on a wall plaque in a gift shop.

The Wizard of Oz may be a good story, but it’s not a reliable source of spiritual information. God said something quite different. According to Him, the greatest commandment is to love—to love Him first and then others (Mark 12:29-31). Scripture says nothing about expecting to be loved in return. In fact, Jesus stated the opposite in His most famous sermon: “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven” (Matt. 5:11-12).

When it comes to love, the important thing we need to know is this: All love starts with God (1 John 4:19). As Moses told the Israelites, God delighted in them to love them (Deut. 10:15), and because of that they were to love others, even strangers (v.19). God’s intent is that the people who receive His love will become the conduit of His love to others.

Apart from God—who Himself is love—none of us could truly love or be loved (1 John 4:7-8).

“Love seeketh not her own,” and so
He did not stay as God above,
But chose a manger and a cross
To show that He was Love. —Wilmshurst

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. —1 John 4:8

Read: Deuteronomy 10:12-22

What does the Lord your God require of you, but . . . to walk in all His ways and to love Him. —Deuteronomy 10:12

Bible in a Year:
Jeremiah 24-26; Titus 2

Happy FRiday, everyone.

I'm ready to download pictures that I took last night.
I hope I got at least one good one of Marilyn Monroe.

We met two of her friends in Hicksville;
We bought pizza and sodas for the three of them.
They seemed to enjoy it!

Looking forward..I’ll check back in later.

Happy Friday, Bobalu.
Thank you for sharing those wonderful paintings.
I've been trying to decide which is my favorite but that is impossible. I like all of them.

Have a delightful Friday and a spectacular weekend.

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. —1 John 4:8

Happy Friday, Mayor.

Thank you for sharing Our Daily Bread again this morning.

[JustAmy]

As usual, the best laid plans ..... da da da

I haven’t worked with graphics for such a long time, that any simple editing takes me forever.

Hopefully ... either tonight or tomorrow morning, I will get a couple of pictures posted. They are not very good; I’m too unsteady but I will try!

[Mama_Bear]

If you want, send them to me and let me know what you want done with them. I’d be happy to work on them :-)

[left that other site]

Hi Amy
We love you even without the graphics!

((((HUGS)))))

[JustAmy]

You have mail ..... I’ll send them all and then let you pick which you want to work with.

[JustAmy]

Awww ... how sweet that is!

Thank you, LTOS
