Oh, I know what today is!

It's my 9th anniversary as a freeper.

Yep, I am a 9 year old Freeper, so you newbies out there behave yourselves! LOL!

[JustAmy]

Oh My Gosh.

I need to check my source again.

I’m sorry Victoria. Looks like I need to find my Oooops Graphic. :) Is it your anniversary?

Thanks so much for the Elvis link. Ya know I always enjoy Elvis. :)

[JustAmy]

I should have read the rest of the thread!

Happy 9th Anniversary.

[Victoria Delsoul]

You're welcome, Amy. So glad you liked it.

It is my FR anniversary indeed. Time flies huh?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks. And speaking of time.... I gotta go.

Sweet dreams, Amy.

Have a wonderful day.

Oh gosh, thanks soooo much, but my birthday isn't today, but on December 7th.

Ooops! Oh, Well, it's just a Little Late, Lol. : )

[Kitty Mittens]

Goodnight, Dear FRiends. Our Lord Bless and Keep us all.

[JustAmy]

I messed up by wishing Victoria a HB. Today is really her 9th FR anniversary. Guess that I can’t even read my own notes. :)

Pleasant Dreams, Kitty. See you tomorrow.

Rise Up!

READ: John 20:1-8,19-20

You, being dead in your trespasses, . . . He has made alive together with Him. —Colossians 2:13

On February 6, 1958, a chartered plane carrying most of the members of the English football (soccer) club Manchester United crashed on takeoff from Munich, Germany. With so many of their star players lost, some despaired over prospects for the club’s survival. Yet today it is one of the best-known teams in the world. Fittingly, the man who rebuilt the team, Matt Busby, survived the crash himself.

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Jesus’ arrest and subsequent crucifixion caused many of His followers to despair. The disciples themselves had lost hope. But their despondency evaporated on that first Easter morning when they found that the stone sealing the tomb had been moved aside (John 20:1). Jesus had risen!

Jesus soon appeared to Mary Magdalene (vv.11-16) and then to His disciples, who had gathered behind locked doors (v.19). His visit brought a remarkable change in them. As one version renders it, they were “overjoyed” (v.20 NIV).

Perhaps your world has crashed around you. It may be a deeply personal loss, a tragedy in your family, or some other great trial. Jesus’ resurrection proved that He is greater than the greatest obstacles. He can rebuild your life—as He did with His disciples—starting today.

He rose! And with Him hope arose, and life and light.
Men said, “Not Christ, but death, died yesternight.”
And joy and truth and all things virtuous
Rose when He rose. —Anon.

God can turn any difficulty into an opportunity.

Bible in One Year: Exodus 39-40; Matthew 23:23-39

I want to thank every one of you for your prayers on behalf of my family. The news from my niece's husband last night was grave. Unless God supplies us with a miracle, Judy will not be with us long.

God's Promise's are sure, and secure, and I praise Him for His Grace.

You all are such a great support.

Again, Thank you!

Renewal

The beeches along the river flats stand tall
amid the branches the crimson cardinal calls
As the rustle of the leaves whisper of Spring
when life bursts forth to make the senses sing

Life is poised to burst forth and dress in green
a vibrant verdant cloak just waiting to be seen
As we too are poised for the rush of new life
and casting off of weary times of too much strife

To life, and to you, I wish the best of times to come
when you are filled with this richness in blessed sum
The heart’s renewal and the regeneration of the soul
the Master’s hand to touch you and leave you whole

[jaycee]

Johnn, that is so lovely this morning! I am sure looking forward to spring and bet you are too! This has been a long and cold winter! The weatherman tells me we may get in the 60’s on Saturday....I’ll take that, after -2 yesterday morning.

Hope all is well for you all....

"God can turn any difficulty into an opportunity."

If we could remember the above each morning, we would enjoy better days! Thank you for the blessings in our Daily Bread this morning, Mr. Mayor!
