Graphic by Billie

Just one kiss from your sweet lips,
Will tell me that your love is real,
And I, I, I can fe-el that it's true.
We will vow to one another,
There will never be another,
Lo-ve for you, or for me.

Young love, first love,
Filled with true devotion,
Young love, our love,
We share with deep emotion.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Kitty.

And thank you for another sweet ‘Goodnight Graphic.”

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Mayor. Happy Monday.

Thank you for another wonderful lesson from ODB. We appreciate your dedication.

Have a beautiful day.

Good Morning, Amy!

((((HUGS))))

I hope you had a lovely Mothers Day.

:-)

[JustAmy]

Good morning, LTOS. Happy Monday.

I had a great Mother’s Day. Marissa is growing up; she made me a card and surprised us all with breakfast. She came in and said ... “Wake up, breakfast is on the table.”

Hope your Mother’s Day was wonderful. Hugs!

Happy Monday, Lonestar. Thank you for the links. I was going to look for one but got lazy. LOL

How is Weinie? Did she get her cat yet?

Wishing you a lovely Spring Monday.

SO TRUE, SO GOOD.

INTENTIONS NEVER DID ANYTHING WITHOUT ACTIONS.

Procrastination is present daily. America has been spoiled in a way.

COMFORT AND AVAILABILITY OF MOST ANYTHING HAS LULLED US INTO A SORT OF FALSE REVERIE.

In my case. Forgive me Lord I repent of my selfish acceptance of Thy blessings, on going. Help me to bless all daily and pray for their knowing and loving Thee, in Jesus name, amen.

Weine is about the same...LOL!

No cat yet. My brother's cat was just diagnosed ($1600 in tests) with "cat herpes." Will be on medication... they can't get down him...the rest of his life...which won't be long if they can't get the meds down.

Anyway, I'm re-thinking the cat bit. LOL!

[JustAmy]

Giving a cat medicine is almost impossible. With MrMittens, we always wondered how much we got down him and how much ended up on his chin.

Cats are great if they don’t need medication. :)

New Birth
May 13, 2014

Read: Psalm 139:7-16

You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. —Psalm 139:13

Bible in a Year:
2 Kings 17-18; John 3:19-36

What is there about babies that makes us smile? Many people will stop everything at the sight or sound of a baby and will flock to gaze at the little one. I noticed this when I visited my dad at a nursing home. Though most of the residents were wheelchair-bound and suffered from dementia, the visit of a family with a baby almost unfailingly brought a spark of joy to their eyes that—tentatively at first but then undoubtedly—became a smile. It was amazing to watch.

Perhaps babies bring a smile because of the wonder of a new life—so precious, tiny, and full of promise. Seeing a baby can remind us of our awesome God and the great love He has for us. He loved us so much that He gave us life and formed us in our mother’s womb. “You formed my inward parts,” the psalmist says, “You covered me in my mother’s womb” (Ps. 139:13).

Not only does He give us physical life but He also offers us spiritual rebirth through Jesus (John 3:3-8). God promises believers new bodies and life eternal when Jesus returns (1 Cor. 15:50-52).

Physical life and spiritual rebirth—gifts to celebrate from our Father’s hand.

In His own image God created man,
He formed his body from the dust of earth;
But more than that, to all who are in Christ
He gives eternal life by second birth. —Hess

I will praise You . . . ; marvelous are Your works. —Psalm 139:14

Insight

In David’s inspired reflections on the presence of God everywhere, we see an eloquent description of the child’s development within the mother’s womb. “My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret” (v.15). God’s providential oversight of the development of new life is a testimony to the image of God in humans. God cares about us and our need for rescue. It was because of this love that He became a man and purchased redemption for all who place their trust in Jesus’ sacrificial death and resurrection.
