Oh, I am so sorry, Amy. I was wondering if you were okay. Hadn't heard from you in a couple days.

I am sure that PrissyMissy got along just fine. There is a lot of protein in peanut butter, and jelly is fruit.......sort of. :-)

For you and Mr. Just......

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Lori. That is beautiful.

Marissa volunteered to stay home Thursday to take care of us. :)

Today is the first that I felt like staying up for any length of time. I’m sure tomorrow will be better.

[Kitty Mittens]

SOME KEEP SUNDAY GOING TO CHURCH
by Emily Dickinson

Some keep Sunday going to church
I keep it staying at home,
With a bobolink for a chorister,
And an orchard for a throne.

Some keep Sabbath in surplice,
I just wear my wings
And instead of tolling the bell for church,
Our little sexton sings.

God preaches, a noted clergyman,
And the sermon is never long,
So instead of going to heaven at last
I'm going all along.

[NicknamedBob]

No fair!

Emily copied my homework!

Happy Sunday to Amy and FRiends!

How are you feeling today, Amy? Don't overdo. It takes awhile to get back up to par.

Blessings to all who enter here ~

Amy, I Hope you are Feeling Better Today!

When I Feel the Shadows Begin to Settle in,
And Darkness Threatens to Overwhelm me Again
I Call Out His Name, on Bended Knee,
And, He Lifts me Up, and He Carries me.

My Sweet King, my Jesus, He Carries me;
He's Always there, when to Him I Flee.
Glory to my King, Hallelujah to the Lamb,
He Holds me Safely in His Nail-Scarred Hand.

When Trials of Life Squeeze the Breath Out of me,
And I cannot Go On; I have not the Strength,
He Takes me in His Arms, and Hugs me to His Heart;
He Becomes my Srength, my Savior, my Glorious God.

My Beloved One, my Lord, my Father Carries me,
He Shields me from the World, as to Him I Cling;
He Bears me Along in His Strong Arms of Love,
He Cleanses my Sins with His Own Holy Blood.

My Heart is Filled with His Love and His Praise,
I can't Find Words for All I Long to Say;
My Abba, Near Your Heart, Please Allow me to Stay;
While I'm in Your Arms, just Carry me away!

My Abba, my Loving God, my Shepherd Carries me,
And He has Promised to Love me for All Eternity.
He is my Papa, and I am His Little Girl;
My Lord is my Treasure, and I am His Precious Pearl.

~Kitty~ Early 1990's

You really need to keep your homework covered up NNB. Next thing you know it will show up somewhere on the Internet.

That’s a great tag you’ve got there. :)

[bperiwinkle7]

That is very sweet, Kitty Mittens.

Your love for our LORD is always apparent, as is your gratitude for His love of you.

There are those pretty blue flowers again, that I could never taxonomize....

Here we go with another ice storm.

Let us abide in Him.

"Next thing you know it will show up somewhere on the Internet."

The Internet only exists so that I can fleece my er, serve my flock.

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you Both, my Sisters in our Lord; I Wrote that Poem between 15 and 20 Years Ago; I Wish I'd Dated my Poetry.

Bp, Stay Safe and Warm in the Bad Weather. Praise God Spring isn't Very Far Off Now; I'll Welcome it with Open Arms!

Lori, Chachi is still in my Prayers as he Heals from his Surgery.

Small Strands

There’s something about string, and yarn, that binds a woman’s life.
Perhaps an instinctive bond that helps to get us through the strife.
What seems a passing fancy when you’re just a little girl,
May still excite you even though your hair has turned to pearl.

We’re bound to one another with small strands which we could snap,
Except they lead us to a source of strength that we can tap.
They bind a little girl into a net of learning ways,
To make things that express her love, and brighten up her days.

She’s caught up in the magic that the older woman spins,
Until she finds she’s stuck behind a forest of needles and pins.
Her own defensive fortress that will shield her from concern,
With a beneficial hobby that will still be fun to learn.

Thank you for the Get Well Wishes.
Sorry that it has taken so long for me to answer pings.

I heard that the flu was especially rough on the very young and the elderly.
I'm not in either category,
so I have no idea why it is taking me so long to get any strength back. : (

I will try to get all of the pings answered today.
Thank you again for thinking about me.

[JustAmy]

NnB .... Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I want to thank you for this poem and the many others that are used here.

I had wanted to find the perfect graphic but haven't felt up to the task.
I promise to do it later.

Again thank you for the wonderful poetry.

[JustAmy]

Ahhh .. another cute bird graphic.
Thank you GeeBee.

Hope you are having a Marvelous Monday.
