Yes! We were posting about it at the same time. I have come to the conclusion that some of the Bachelorettes are more in love with love (or themselves) than they are with any of the guys they get to choose from. Enough, DeAnna - we’ve seen enough of you!

[Billie]

Well, shoot! It’s after midnight and Amy’s already gone and most everyone else, too. I’m going to go ahead and post Tuesday’s opening - don’t know when I’ll get up and around in the morning. :)

[Mama_Bear]

Enough, DeAnna - we’ve seen enough of you!

Yes! I hope he tells her that (in the word's of Randy Travis) she's been too gone for too long and it's too late to come back now!!

I’m going to go ahead and post Tuesday’s opening

Sounds good to me. Then you can sleep in maybe. :-)

Awwwwwwww..........how sweet is that??? Pretty opening, pretty song! I don’t think I have ever heard it before. Thanks, Billie.

[Billie]

Thanks, Lori - I don't think I had ever heard it before either, but I heard it on one of those oldies sites and thought it fit that cute little boy and girl. I like to find 'different' sounds and songs. :)

I'm gone - nite! See you tomorrow I hope.

I'm not sure if he has to go back, I haven't had a chance to talk with him yet. Will pass on your sentiments.

Thanks.

Such a sweet graphic and 'tender loving song' this morning. Have never heard the song but its just a really sweet one that you'd like to hear more often. Good start to another Love Week Day!

What’s For Dinner?

READ: Genesis 22:1-12

It came to pass . . . that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” —Genesis 22:1

I can hardly imagine inviting special friends over for dinner and then throwing a few leftovers into the microwave to serve up to them. But if I were to do that, it would speak volumes about how I really feel about them.

Giving God the leftovers of our lives speaks volumes about His true worth to us. When God asked Abraham to give Isaac back to Him as an act of worship, Genesis 22:1 calls it a test. A test to see if there was anything in his life that he treasured more than God.

It’s no different for us. There are times when God requires something really important to get His work done. He’ll ask us to give up our natural instincts to seek revenge so that we can communicate His forgiving love by forgiving our enemies. He may call us to sacrifice portions of our time or money or comforts to advance His cause. Or He may require us to allow our sons and daughters to go to a far-off land to tell others about His saving love. The way we respond to what He requires says volumes about how we really feel about Him.

Anyone can offer the leftovers. Only those who love God more than anything else will serve up the very best for Him.

“Take up thy cross and follow Me,”
I hear the blessed Savior call;
How can I make a lesser sacrifice
When Jesus gave His all? —Ackley

No sacrifice we make is too great for the One who sacrificed His all.

Bible in One Year: Leviticus 8-10; Matthew 25:31-46

Let us know whether he is home for good.

Thank you for the charming opening, Billie! I love it!

Here is what I woke up to, this morning:

Looks like we have about 10", and it is still coming down.

[Billie]

Good morning, Jaycee. Thank you for the sweet compliment and the darling little mousie gif.

More "young love" :)

[Billie]

Thanks, yorkie - glad you enjoyed the opener!

Oh. My. Gosh! In Arizona? Snow like that??!!

[Billie]

Fellow Bachelor Watchers....... :)

[jaycee]

Absolutely gorgeous, yorkie! The sun is shining brightly here. Guess God is fair with sharing his snow and sunshine, don't you?

[jaycee]

Isn’t that cute?
