TCP...I’m like you...not too many red items in my closet. But, I do have an adorable pair of red flats that I love wearing...with jeans and a white top and I’m good to go!

Wearing Red (shoes) and always saying prayers for our wonderful, brave troops and this great nation.

Have a wonderful, long weekend FRiends! Enjoy the time with family, friends or doing what you enjoy most.

We’re in the Hill Country, for the weekend....hoping the rain stays away.

((HUGS)) to ALL!

I love the hill country! Wearing my brick red tee with Route 12—Wimberley for the troops today!

Hey red shoes sound like fun. Red flats sound like a good thing, since I am so done with high heels!

Cheers

Just found out yesterday from my Drs. that I have ALS. Makes sense after the previous Dr visits I’ve had.
I will not be long on FR posts but I will record items for our daughters and grandsons.

The information we have recsived over the past few months answerers a lot of questions. I have received many items these past few months and now it connects with pain and weakness.

Praise the Lord for his excellant GREATNESS. I hope to survive for my 70th birthday and our 50th wedding anniversary on June 4th.

May our dates next year provide His Excellant Greatness.

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Read: 2 Chronicles 15:1-12

[Asa] took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land . . . ; and he restored the altar of the Lord. —2 Chronicles 15:8

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 129-131; 1 Corinthians 11:1-16

When a woodchuck started eating our garage (well, just the trim), I bought a live trap with plans to transplant the little guy to a park. I baited it with an assortment of goodies and opened the trap door. The next morning, I was excited to see a little critter in my trap—until I noticed that it was no woodchuck. I had snared a skunk.

I went online to see how to untrap the skunk without having it . . . well, you know. The solutions were extremely cautious in their descriptions of how to protect yourself while releasing the animal. Plastic bags. Gloves. Tarps. Blankets. Goggles. The task looked daunting and dangerous.

Then my son-in-law Ewing stepped up. He simply walked over to the trap, opened the door, and coaxed our striped friend on its way with a few sprays from the garden hose.

Sometimes our fears can lead to inaction. We worry so much about protecting ourselves that we fail to simply step up. When King Asa learned that the Lord wanted him to remove the idols from Israel, he “took courage” (2 Chron. 15:8). He could have had a rebellion on his hands for doing this. But he stepped up, and as a result the nation rejoiced (v.15).

Facing a spiritual challenge? The Lord will help you step up with courage and trust Him for the outcome.

Let the road be rough and dreary,
And its end far out of sight,
Foot it bravely, strong or weary;
Trust in God and do the right. —Macleod

Courage is fear that has said its prayers.

Insight

While the books of Samuel and Kings follow the monarchy from the days of Saul all the way into the divided kingdom, the books of Chronicles devote only one chapter to Saul (1 Chron. 10). The writer spends most of his time and effort recording the reigns of David and Solomon, presenting their reigns as the high point of Israel’s history.

Amen.

Dave you are in my thoughts and Prayers my FRiend.

[TheConservativeParty]

Oh my goodness. Diver Dave, you will be prayed for by all of us. I have just prayed for you, to Our Lord, The Great Healer.

[JustAmy]

Dave, my prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Marissa's ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

With the money being raised from the Ice Bucket Challenge, I'm praying that a cure or treatment will be found for this awful disease.

God, hears our prayers.
Father, please hold Dave and his family in your healing embrace.

God Bless you, DD.

[Jim Robinson]

Dear Dave,

I join in prayer for you and your loving family. I know from personal experience that you are a good and loving man. A Christian who loves God, life, family and country. A patriot who loves liberty. A caring friend to all.

God bless you, Brother Dave. You are in my prayers,

PRAISE THE LORD!!

[MEG33]

Prayers for you and your wonderful family to be held close in God’s healing hands, dear Dave.

[potlatch]

Thanks for posting this Amy! Thank Marissa for doing this, she is so pretty and I enjoyed ‘seeing’ her!

I have nieces and nephews doing this too, and think it’s great!

[potlatch]

I am so sorry Dave, and will keep you in my prayers. You will get many Prayer Warriors from all your friends here!
God bless you!

[potlatch]

Lol, and every day I think!!

[MEG33]

Good for Marissa. Thank you for letting us know, Amy.

[potlatch]

Hope you’re having a restful Saturday Meg. I forgot to tell you that we had a really good rainfall this past week. It’s ‘dark’ out today but no rain so far. (HUGS)

[potlatch]

Thank you Luv! Your post is so cute. Hoping all is well with you.

[MEG33]

I am! Thank you potlatch. We got very light rain yesterday early. I am thrilled you had rain. It was cool enough this morning for me to sit out and see if I scared the birds off.
I had finches, doves, chickadees and one cardinal bravely visit when I was sitting on the patio.
I hope all is well with you.
