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.

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.

Hi, GeeBee - just love that teeny tiny smiley looking like he's saying "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". :) I think I have a robin picture a little like the one you posted, too. Pretty!

Well, it's kinda sorta similar. :)

What a MOVING opening, Amy and Billie! (The graphic is a perfect match for the words to that song.) I did a little checking, and found that Merle Haggard published that recording in 1982. 1982 - the Bonzo Years - Ronald Reagan:

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. :)

Credibility
[Have] your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that . . . they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God. —1 Peter 2:12

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

Look at these Scriptures about Christ’s life: Matthew 9:10-13; 20:28; Luke 6:12. How can you live the way He did?

If we take care of our character, our reputation will take care of itself.

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.
