Hen Party?

Look at what I’ve turned up here!
A small companion. Welcome, Dear!
Your plumage shows such clever thoughts,
I’d never try for polka-dots!

You’ve such a bright and cheerful hue,
How do you think I’d look in blue?
Why don’t you stay and meet my friends?
And let’s find out what the day portends!

Excellent :) Thank you for the ping!

Good Morning Amy
You were so sick. It's so good to hear you are feeling better.

It's a rainy day here today.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, GeeBee.
It's great to be among the living. : )

We are having warm, springlike weather.
In fact, Marissa thinks she should be able to go to school without a jacket.

Have a Wonderful "I Value Our Friendship Day."

How cute!

Amy, glad you found the thread with the sick chicken - I just knew somehow that you had posted it, but wasn't thinking it was one you'd posted at the Finest. I remember it now! Thanks!

A Toddler's Tea Party!!

One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me and my brother who is four years older than I am. I was maybe 1 and a half years old and had just recovered from an accident in which my arm had been broken among other injuries.

Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys. Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news and my brother was playing nearby in the living room when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home. My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!!'

My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up, then says, 'Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach to get water is the toilet??'

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Billie.

On the sick chicken, I was sure it was used at the Finest but I could not associate it with any thread.

Thanks for the Sick Chicken and all the other darling, pretty, cute graphics.

Fresh

READ: Psalm 51:8-13

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation. —Psalm 51:12

What do you think of when you hear the word fresh? When the weather is nice, my husband and I enjoy going to the farmers market so we can buy produce that was picked that very morning. To me, fresh means just-harvested fruits and vegetables—not stale or spoiled, but crisp and full of exquisite flavor.

I need that kind of freshness in my relationship with God. I can have too many stale attitudes—impatience, criticism, and selfishness—and not enough “longsuffering, kindness, . . . gentleness,” which are “the fruit of the Spirit” (Gal. 5:22-23).

As David repented of the sin in his life, he prayed, “Create in me a clean heart.” Then he petitioned God: “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation” (Ps. 51:10-12). Confession and repentance of our sin renews our fellowship with the Lord and allows us to joyously begin anew.

What better time than today to ask God to give you a newness of spirit, a freshness of faith, and a renewed appreciation of Him!

Lord, we want the fruit of our lives to always be “fresh and flourishing” (Ps. 92:14). Help us to experience Your love, compassion, and faithfulness that are “new every morning” (Lam. 3:22-23). Amen.

The Master is seeking a harvest
In lives He’s redeemed by His blood;
He seeks for the fruit of the Spirit,
And works that will glorify God.  —Lehman

To bear good fruit, clear out the weeds of sin.

Bible in One Year:  Leviticus 1–3; Proverbs 15:22-33

Happy Wednesday To Amy's Place
Love the cute graphic and poem.

"To bear good fruit, clear out the weeds of sin."

Good morning, Mayor.
Thank you for bringing the Scripture Lesson again this morning.
It starts our day in the right direction.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Meg.

Thank you for sharing another wonderful Graphic this morning.
We are going to have another beautiful day in the central valley after morning fog.

[MEG33]

Wonderful..I love sharing some of my favorites.
Bob’s poem reminded me of this one.
Blue skies here,too.

[JustAmy]

I have to leave for awhile.

I haven’t been out of the house for more than a week; I need to get to a drug store to buy valentines for Marissa.

I will be back soon. Take care and have a fantastic day.

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you for the Cute Poem and Graphic! I Found a Sweet Graphic to Celebrate 'I Value Our Friendship Day.'

~A Beautiful Day to Amy's Place~

[Darksheare]

The Twilight Zone is my home.
Everyone else is merely passing through.

[Darksheare]

*sigh*

I don’t do Valentine’s.. and if I do, it’s.. odd.

Swoon, or faint from fright?
Dance and caress by candle light?
Or wander weary in ever night?
Just this thing, I know it’s trite-
But it’s only a simple tender bite...

-Vampire’s bliss.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Kitty Mittens.

That graphic is purrrfect!!

I Value Our Friendship!

[JustAmy]

I’m glad that you bring The Twilight Zone to Amy’s Place.

We value your Friendship.
