Sweet, Cat Man!

LOL, that little one is my Emma. She played a whole season of "T" ball. Those little bitty kids are so cute and they play so hard.

Sounds like you are in for a big 4th too. Family is great when it works out for them. All of our family is scattered across the country. We only have our youngest son, Emma's dad, close to us, but his wife does have family here so they go there. We are just so thankful that we have our only grandchild close enough so we can see her and keep her on some days.

Indeed we are going to have to fight for our country.

[WVNan]

Glad I got to say hi to you too, Billie. Have a great 4th. Goodnight.

Thank you for the prayer ping.

You are Most Welcome, TheConservativeParty, and I'll be Remembering your Aunt in my Prayers in the Coming Days as the Doctors Try to Discern what her Health Problem is.

These Scriptures are Some of my Very Favorites that have Brought Comfort to my Own Heart over the Years:

'You saw me Before I was Born, and Scheduled Each Day of my Life before I Began to Breath. Every Day was Recorded in Your Book.

How Precious it is, Lord, to Realize that You are Thinking about me Constantly. I can’t Even Count How Many Times a Day Your Thoughts Turn Towards me. And when I Awaken in the Morning, You are still Thinking of me.' (Ps.139:16-18)

'You have Seen me Tossing and Turning through the Night. You have Collected All my Tears and Preserved them in Your Bottle. You have Recorded Every One in Your Book.' (Ps.56:8)

(((((Prayers Continuing)))))

[Kitty Mittens]

God Bless you, Sweet Jaycee, and I Pray you are Feeling Well. My Spirit is still So Thankful you wern't Severely Injured in the Accident! Great is the Lovingkindness of our Lord.

(((((Many Hugs)))))

Nan, that Pic of Emma is So Adorable! Time is just Flying By; it Seems Like Only Yesterday when she was still a Baby.

Yorkie, Thank you for the Sweet Goodnight Pic you Posted to me Last Night, and Thank you to Everyone for the Pings.

[jaycee]

Thank you, Kitty, so much. And the Psalm 139 (the whole thing) is my favorite always. It is so beautiful and explains everything so well. It is so comforting when I read it. For many years now, it has been my favorite. Hope you are enjoying your evening and keep those prayers going upwards. Appreciate your prayers always. And I know others do also!

[jaycee]

Good morning, Jaycee.
52 degrees? WOW ... looks like you will have a very comfortable day.
It is 4:45 here and the temp is 70.
I think it will be a little cooler than yesterday.
It will still be too hot at the swimming pool.
The heat really saps my energy.

Are you feeling okay after your accident?

I'm going to start thru the thread for Wednesday and Thursday so I can answer some pings.
Seems that I missed so much!

Have a great day and enjoy your beautiful weather.

Job’s Principle

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Philippians 4:10-13

Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity? —Job 2:10

When my wife accepted a position as Director of Special Education in a school district many miles from our home, it resulted in a very long commute each day. It was tolerable in the short term, but neither of us could see her doing this indefinitely. So we decided to relocate to another city halfway between our two jobs.

The real estate agent was not optimistic about our home selling quickly. Market trends showed many homes for sale with few buyers. After much prayer and strenuous cleaning, we finally put our home up for sale. To our surprise, our house sold in less than 3 weeks!

Sometimes I feel guilty about receiving material blessings. With so many needs around the world, why should I expect divine intervention in selling a home? Then I remember Job’s reply to his wife: “Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” (Job 2:10).

This verse is most often applied to accepting disappointment. But the principle also applies to being grateful for blessings. The apostle Paul had learned how to rejoice in plenty and in want (Phil. 4:10-13). God has an interest in teaching us contentment through both gains and losses. Thanking God in all circumstances recognizes His sovereignty and nurtures a response of faith.  — Dennis Fisher

We thank You, Lord, for blessings
You give us on our way;
May we for these be grateful,
And praise You every day. —Roworth

The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. —Job
Bible in One Year: Job 25-27; Acts 12

Thank you for pinging everyone to this prayer request, Kitty.

TCP, your Aunt Mickey is in my prayers. I’m praying that the doctors will be able to determine and treat whatever is causing her health problems.

Father, please ease Aunt Mickey’s fears and worry. Please guide her medical caregivers in finding and treating her needs. Please Bless and comfort her as you hold her in your healing embrace. We ask this in Jesus Name.Amen
