Good evening, Conor. Hope you had a great day.
Thank you for sharing that cute picture of Daniel. So good to see him supporting our troops. God Bless and protect our military wherever they are tonight.

No chocolate chips jumping in the cookie?
Sometimes, the Holidays are a lot of fun but it is always fun to check them out so they can be shared.

Well, I ‘could’ make the chocolate chips jumping in or out of the cookie - but by the time I did it some other occasions would be happening, lol.
I like the “Amy’s Place” text at the top of Billie’s graphic. You could crop it out and use it elsewhere.

I will crop it out; I wonder what font she used. Do you recognize it?

No, I’m not good at using fonts much. I used to have a list of about 5 that I really liked and I lost that list. I’ve been working on new graphics a lot lately and I don’t use much text in them - usually.
Strangely, I had been thinking about ‘fonts’ the past couple of days, I think the Chicken dance post made me think about it, lol.

Motivated By Love
In the 1920s, Bobby Jones dominated the golfing world, despite being an amateur. In one film about his life, Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius, there is a scene where a professional golfer asks Bobby when he is going to quit being an amateur and grab for the money like everyone else does. Jones answers by explaining that the word amateur comes from the Latin amoto love. His answer was clear: He played golf because he loved the game.
Our motives, why we do what we do, make all the difference. This certainly applies to those who are followers of Jesus Christ. In his letter to the Corinthian church, Paul gives us an example of this. Throughout the epistle he defended his conduct, character, and calling as an apostle of Christ. In response to those who questioned his motives for ministry, Paul said, Christs love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again (2 Cor. 5:14-15 niv).
Christs love is the greatest of all motivators. It causes those who follow Him to live for Him, not for themselves.
What are some of the ways your understanding of Christ and His love has shaped your motives and your actions? In what ways would you like to see God work in you now?
We are shaped and fashioned by what we love most.
: In 2 Corinthians Paul was writing to a church that he foundedyet a church that had, in a sense, turned on him. This makes it very different from 1 Thessalonians, where Paul was writing to men and women with whom he had a strong and loving relationship. Because of these different relationships, in 1 Thessalonians 23 Paul was describing his ministry while in 2 Corinthians was defending it.

Cool...I had never pondered the origin of “Amateur”, but that makes perfect sense.

Mother doesn't want a dog.
***
Mother doesn't want a dog.
Mother says they smell,
And never sit when you say sit,
Or even when you yell.
And when you come home late at night
And there is ice and snow,
You have to go back out because
The dumb dog has to go.
Mother doesn't want a dog.
Mother says they shed,
And always let the strangers in
And bark at friends instead,
And do disgraceful things on rugs,
And track mud on the floor,
And flop upon your bed at night
And snore their doggy snore.
Mother doesn't want a dog.
She's making a mistake.
Because, more than a dog, I think
She will not want this snake.
