Good evening, Billie.

Today's Poem and Welcome Graphic were wonderful. I was happy to see that you posted it again at the Finest. We must not forget the sacrifices being made to keep us free.

Good evening, Meekie.

Hope you had a good day.

I had and Aunt and Uncle from Oregon here last night. It was great to see them. They arrived early yesterday afternoon and left about 1:00 today. She is my Mother's only living sister, no brothers.

Where Is Your Trust?

Read:
Jeremiah 17:5-10

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. -Jeremiah 17:7

Bible In One Year: 2 Samuel 5-8

Let's be honest. Are we always able to trust ourselves in everything? Even the apostle Paul said emphatically about himself, "I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified" (1 Corinthians 9:27). He wouldn't trust himself to do the right thing unless he kept his body under strict discipline.

Today's Bible reading reminds us that "the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9.) It is not possible for any of us to fathom the extent of the deceptions of our heart. How then can we ever trust ourselves or anyone else completely?

Jeremiah warned the last Judean kings against placing their trust in earthly kings (vv.5-6). But they continually sought help from Egypt. How foolish they were! They should have repented of their wickedness and returned to Almighty God for His help.

Where can we put our trust for help in difficult and uncertain times? God's Word tells us that those who place their trust in God are like trees planted by the waters. Even in drought they will not cease to bear fruit (vv.7-8).

Let's trust God to produce fruit in our lives. -Albert Lee

We find it easier to trust
In what our eyes can see,
But God asks us to trust in Him
For our security. -Sper

Don't let self-confidence replace your trust in God.

Lady Luckless on Bell Bottom Day

"Bell Bottom Trousers"


VERSE 1
I was a serving maid down in Drury lane
My master, he was good to me, my mistress was th same
When along come a sailor on shore at liberty
Out my way he took liberty with me

CHORUS:
Singin Bell Bottom Trousers, coat of navy blue
Let him climb th riggin like his Daddy us'd to do

VERSE 2
It was at a ball I met him, an' he asked me for a dance
I knew he was a sailor by th way he wore his pants
His shoes were neatly polished and his hair was neatly combed
After th ball he asked to see me home

VERSE 3
He ask me for a handkerchief to tie around his head
He ask me for a candle to light his way to bed
I a foolish, maiden, not thinkin' it no harm
Jumped into th sailors bed to keep th sailor warm

VERSE 4
I knowed he was no Sampson but that night he went to town
He laid me on th bed there, till by blue eyes turned to brown
An' early in th mornin' before the break of day
A twelve pound note he gave to me and these warning words did say

VERSE 5
Take this my darlin' for th damage I have done
You may have a daughter or you may have a son
If you have a daughter 'bounce her on your knee
And if you have a son send th bastard out to sea

VERSE 6
Now, listen all you maidens to my girlish plea
Don't ever let a sailor get his hand upon your knee
I trusted one once and then he went t' sea
An' left me with a daughter to 'bounce upon my knee

Graphic by MamaBear

We're off to a very special place
Just south of The Old Mill Run.
With blue skies, tall grass,
lilies, lilacs, blue bells,
hyacinth, meadows, streams and trees.

A wonderful place for picnics.
Solitude and Contemplation
Or Quality Pet Time, if you please.

Amy's Place is made for people.
Those with two legs and those with four.
So, please don't resist the temptation.
Would these brown eyes ever lie?

To spend some time
Try your hand at some rhymes
And to always smile and have fun!
