I sent you another FR mail - don't know if you have read it or not. There is a link to the site I INTENDED to post before. :)
LOL! I think cats do a lot of that! (napping)
How pretty your crocus is/are, Meg. Such sweet little faces peeking out of the snow.
And now it’s Sunday..... I can picture the congregation sitting inside that pretty little red church - it’s such a beautiful setting with the snow and the trees.
Another pretty, pretty church in the snow scene!
Awww, cute little tail wagger, Meg, and I love all your Sunday pansie posts. They’re such happy little faces - I always have pansies in the winter in pots at my front door, and geraniums in the summer.
Beautiful creature indeed!
What a beautiful post, Luv!
Love this scene, too, Meg.
Two little cuties in their little sleeping bags. :)
Well, it's kinda sorta similar. :)

I want to squeeze that furry little white puppy. :)
How pretty is that little cold bird!
Thank you, yorkie. Loved the old car and am always on the lookout for songs that just might fit some graphic Amy or I have found. She sends me a lot of neat photos from a site that I have a hard time opening; the graphics are usually HUGE in bytes. Most are 300,000 bytes and UP and there's no way to view less than 10 per page. Needless to say, it locks up my screen when there are 10 at one time trying to open. :(
Evening, Miss Majie. Thank you. She does look a little like Laura from LHOTP, now that you mention it. Loved that show, don’t think we ever missed an episode. :)
The recent global financial crisis caused people to pay closer attention to their credit report. When credit was easy to get, some people became careless about how they used it. They didn’t bother to save for what they wanted; they just borrowed. Being in debt was no big deal. But in a crisis, that is no longer the case. Having good credit is suddenly very important.
After an advertisement for a credit repair service, a local newscaster said, “Credit repair isn’t something you can buy; it’s something you have to work for.”
The same principle applies to the credibility of our lives. We can’t buy it; it’s something we have to work for. We may be able to “borrow” credibility for a while by associating ourselves with credible people, but sooner or later we will need our own.
Credibility has to do with the ability to elicit belief. The reason it’s essential for Christians is that our lives affect God’s reputation (1 Peter 2:12). When we call ourselves by Christ’s name, His reputation is tied to ours. If people have reason not to believe us, they may not believe God.
The way to earn credibility is to live honorably. Then others will believe and glorify God.
For Further Study
Thank you for the great lesson in our devotion for today, Rus!
Wishing you a very happy day!
Your very welcome, still the frozen tundra up here.
Take A Moment
As dawn kisses the tops of the distant hills
with a soft and delicate rose and pearl
I watch the old wind stirred flag unfurl
and I smile at the gift of another day to fill
A Cardinal’s sweet song greets the day
melodic salutations to the breaking dawn
I humbly bow my head in gratitude strong
for the priceless joy of my heart at play
Oh Lord, let us of humble hearts give to those in Haiti
who have lost families, friends, and homes these days
Let us hold their plight before us to remember our own
blessings, and may we share them with an open heart.
Give us this chance to rise above our own failings
and lift another along the way. AMEN
The Salvation Army is doing serious work there, as are
others, please give with an open heart.
