Thank you Kitty. Love your picture, hehe!

I’m a day late again Meg, but your post is wonderful and the picture makes me yearn for the beach. If it were my choice, Spring would last forever. (HUGS)

[potlatch]

Hi ML. Love ‘animal friends’ pictures. Thanks for thinking of me.

[potlatch]

Hi Moose! Mums are always popular in the Fall down here in south Texas. The huge yellow/orange ones are usually used for football homecoming corsages later on.

[potlatch]

I’m a day later than you Amy, but still enjoy all the pretty posts. Love the two Spaniels, so cute!

For me, it’s ALWAYS “Warm and Fuzzy Wednesday”! LOL!

Terms Of Service
August 29, 2014

Read: Luke 6:27-37

Forgive, and you will be forgiven. —Luke 6:37

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 126-128; 1 Corinthians 10:19-33

If you’re like me, you seldom read the full text of contracts for online services before you agree to them. They go on for pages, and most of the legal jargon makes no sense to ordinary people like me.

I was quite surprised, therefore, when a friend from Africa made me aware of this one-of-a-kind service agreement for online software. Instead of a wordy license telling people how not to use it, the developer offers a simple blessing urging people to use it for good:

May you do good and not evil. May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others. May you share freely, never taking more than you give.

At first I thought, Wow. Imagine if more terms of service agreements were written as blessings instead of legal documents. Then I thought, The agreement Jesus makes with us is like that. He offers us forgiveness of sin, peace with God, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. In return, all He asks is that we do good (Gal. 6:10), forgive as we’ve been forgiven (Luke 6:37), and love others as He loves us (John 13:34).

The beauty of Jesus’ agreement with us is that even though we fail to live up to the terms, we still receive the blessing.

Bestowed with benefits daily,
Sent from the Father above;
Mercies and blessings abounding,
Gifts of His marvelous love. —Anon.

As we have opportunity, let us do good to all. —Galatians 6:10

Insight

In Luke 6:20-49, Luke recorded a sermon by Jesus that is similar to the sermon recorded in Matthew 5–7. Some scholars believe it was the same sermon, while others say that Jesus taught in two different settings. In Matthew, he taught it “on a mountain” (5:1), while here, Jesus taught these same truths “on a level place” (Luke 6:17).

What a beautiful message, Rus! Thank you and Amen.

[The Mayor]

I finally made it home but my truck is still in Georgia.
Having trouble finding parts. It’s good to be home tho.

[MEG33]

Good Morning To Amy's Place.

Wearing Red To Support Our Troops .
*HUGS*
Have A Great Holiday Weekend

[MEG33]

Glad you are home but sorry about your truck, Rus.

[TheConservativeParty]

OK, I’ll admit it, I have very few red items of clothing. One red silk dress that has small white polka dots. It’s from Ann Taylor, and really a classic style. Yet, I’ve only worn it once or twice to weddings.

Every Wear Red Friday, I realize how I just don’t have red clothes.

Might be because we are in WI, The Badger State, and Red is the color of the teams (UW-Madison). Everyone wears red. My husband has lots of red shirts. I might be sick of so much red?

There’s my story on red, boring as it is! I will just support the troops with my prayers.

Cheers for a good Friday to ALL.

[The Mayor]

Me too, Thanks Meg.

[TheConservativeParty]

Oh boy, the truck is still in GA. That’s bad news. Glad you are home safe though.

Thanks for the Daily Bread, read faithfully now for 6 years.

I so appreciate you posting it.

[MEG33]

Red has always been a favorite color for me. I always have a red top or two. I haven’t bought a dress in ages so no red dress.Your dress sounds lovely.

[TheConservativeParty]

A friend of mine insisted I try on that red dress. I thought there was no way a tall gal like me could wear a red dress with polka dots. She was right and it was the first dress I tried on and I bought it to wear to a wedding.
This friend has amazing fashion sense. I’d never have looked at it on my own. I need more red dress occasions!
