I am so happy it is here,
It seems so long since last.
A time of joy a time of cheer,
It's been fun in the past.
So hug me now and kiss my cheek,
Place flowers round my neck.
I promise I won't take a peek,
Of course I'm lying, Heck!
We'll show our hospitality,
Let's have some fun today.
Because it is reality,
From you I'd like a Lei.

Living Peacefully

Read: Genesis 26:14-22

If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. —Romans 12:18

Bible In One Year: 1 Kings 10-11; Luke 21:20-38

---

Isaac lived among the Philistines, who proved to be ornery neighbors. He had grown so rich and powerful that they feared him and asked him to leave their territory. Being "much mightier" than they (Genesis 26:16), Isaac could have refused, but he acquiesced and moved into a nearby valley where his father Abraham had dug some wells years before.

The Philistines had stopped up the wells after the death of Abraham. Each time Isaac reopened a well they claimed it for themselves, even though they had not been using it. They were just being contentious. But Isaac kept moving on till he entered an area where the Philistines no longer contested his right to the water.

I've encountered people like that. When my brothers and I played catch as young boys, we had to be very careful about our throws, because the neighbor would confiscate any balls that went into his yard.

It's difficult to like such people, but Jesus went so far as to say that we must love them, pray for them, and be good to them (Matthew 5:44). It may not be easy, and those ornery persons may not change. Yet, according to Romans 12:18, we must still do all we can to live peacefully with everyone. —Herb Vander Lugt

We know there will be times of stress
With people who must have their way;
But we should always choose to love,
To live at peace, and for them pray. —D. De Haan

Try to live at peace with others even though they want to fight with you.

Thank you for the precious poem and graphic!

Yeah, sis wandered off in one of her funny dazes.
Uusally means she's going to be awake at 3 in the morning writing something she says is deplorable.

LOL!
My cat trills at me and acts as if I'm tormenting her -all of her- if she doesn't get her way.
It's pretty funny when she does a melodramatic flop and roll over on the floor as if she's starving to death and wasting away right before my very eyes.

[Darksheare]

I wonder what the 'most killed' thread is here on FR?

[Jen]

Hey FRiends! It's May 1st and y'all know what that means, right? It's "Lei Day"! (And of course it's May Day, but in Hawaii, it really is celebrated as Lei Day.)

[SAMWolf]

And here I thought May Day was when you AF types ran into "problems" :-)

[JustAmy]

Repost to keep you out of trouble. ; )

Good morning, Meekie.

I'll bet you were surprised this morning to find that I had skimped on the thread and gone to bed. : )

Nice to see you today ... Hope you are having a wonderful week-end.
