Oh Jaycee!!!! That photo is absolutely beautiful!!!
Thanks for sharing the beautiful Eagle!.
There is just something so magnificant about a bald eagle. Their wings span up to 7 feet across in flight! They are the most mentioned bird/raptur in the Bible.

This is my third year watching Eagle eggs being laid,hatched and the process clear up through the fledging. The day “ our” baby fledged from the Sidney,B.C. Nest, I let out such a scream my husband came running thinking I was injured!
Okay... okay..sorry if I get carried away here. Back to our regular programming! *g*

I think I may not have been here when your mother in law was so sick. I did read where she is doing better now and I just wanted to tell you how happy I was to hear that. God Bless You and Your Family, Kitty~~~

Well, I got so busy posting that I forgot to tell you what a pretty opening you had this morning of the church and falling snow. You do not have to thank me....it was my oversight. I am trying to decide whether or not to go to church this morning. i need to go...have missed a couple of Sunday’s.

[MEG33]

;o)
Jaycee..you are always so thoughtful and complimentary!
I am always thankful for your early morning posts.
It’s cold here...but thank heavens the winds aren’t blowing like they have lately.
The Bluejays are loving the peanuts I put out this morning for them..Usually the squirrels nab them first.

Benediction Blessing

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Numbers 6:22-27

The Lord bless you and keep you. —Numbers 6:24

Our church introduced a new practice for the close of our traditional morning worship service. We turn to one another and sing the familiar Aaronic blessing the Lord gave to Moses to give to Israel: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you . . .” (Num. 6:24-26). Our hearts are uplifted as we mutually catch the eye of a fellow believer and extend our blessing to him or her.

One Sunday, I noticed a heartwarming and special exchange that has now become a weekly event. In a pew near the front sat Oscar and Marian Carlson, faithful followers of Jesus Christ and devoted partners for the 62 years of their married life. When we began to sing, Oscar reached over and took Marian’s hands in his. They sang the opening words of this special blessing to each other before looking to others. Everyone nearby sneaked a peek at the look of love and tenderness on their faces.

A benediction is not simply a ritualistic closing; it’s a genuine prayerful wish for God’s goodness to follow the other person. In offering it to one another, Oscar and Marian exemplify its warmest and deepest meaning. In blessing others, we express gratitude for what God has done for us through Christ’s death (Heb. 13:20-21.

Bless me, Lord, and make me a blessing;
I’ll gladly your message convey;
Use me to help some poor needy soul,
And make me a blessing today. —Anon.

God gives blessing to us so we can be a blessing to others.
