[jaycee]

That is just plain adorable, Luv! Thanks!!

[jaycee]

Glad you enjoyed that, Billie! I thought he was a little special but aren’t they all?

The doctor who was taking my doctor’s calls yesterday sent me Tamiflu as I had a lot of symptoms and they just don’t want to take chances, I guess.

Think I felt a little better today. I did get my emails sent to Red Hat ladies and have had 2 replies of yes. Haven’t started the phone calls yet...I don’t like that as well. I probably have about 8 to telephone. Will do in the morning!

[jaycee]

And I love Waldorf Salad, too! I plan to make that very soon when I get all the ingredients.

[jaycee]

I forgot if I told you how pretty your goodnight post or not so I am telling you now...LOL!

[dixie sass]

Up and down, up and down. Something kept waking me up last night.

[jaycee]

Quite simple, I guess.
There are 7 hearts in this
picture. Most are easy but one
I am undecided about! Its pretty
and colorful anyway..LOL!

[Mama_Bear]

[Mama_Bear]

A Good Grooming

READ: Psalm 139:1-10, 23-24

Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my mind and my heart. For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes. —Psalm 26:2-3

Our dog, Dolly, is a 7-year-old West Highland Terrier. She loves to dig in the dirt, which means she gets very dirty. We bathe her every week or so at home, but occasionally she gets so grimy and tangled that we have to take her to a professional groomer.

She used to hate to go to the groomer because the woman was always in a rush and inclined to be bad-tempered and harsh. Getting Dolly through the door was a struggle. Just the sight of the shop made her want to run away.

Last year we decided to try another groomer and discovered that our dog, though not always overjoyed at the prospect, was less reluctant to go. That’s because the groomer is kind to her even though she must wash Dolly thoroughly, causing discomfort.

When sin and defilement accumulate in our hearts, we need to be cleansed. Like the psalmist David, we must ask God to “examine” and “try” our minds and hearts, and to point out our wicked thoughts, attitudes, and ways (Ps. 139:23-24). Our Lord may cause discomfort, for exposure is often difficult, but we can approach Him without fear.

The Lord’s examination of us, though sometimes painful, is gentle and kind.

Search me, O God, and know my heart today;
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray.
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin and set me free. —Orr

Repentance is the hurt that leads to healing.

Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 34-36; Hebrews 2

Cleansing sin can be most painful..but it feels wonderful later.
Thank you for our Daily bread.

Haven’t heard from Amy today, so I’m going to put up a ‘rerun’ - if you’re here, Amy, and posting at the same time, I’ll have mine deleted. :)
