Good Sunday Morning

I love old country churches, too. gg!
Sorry I missed you on the tsunami thread.
Have a blessed Lord's Day.

GG, I remember last year, about this time, and you took your leave of absence. We all missed you, and loved when you could sneak a couple minutes in, and update us on everything!

Don’t work TOO hard, now....y’hear? And, be sure to peek in every once in awhile.

[pollywog]

Good Morning NNB! What a awesome poem! HAPPY Belated BIRTHDAY!!!

I hope you write for a living!!...what talent!

[gardengirl]

Missed you too, but I’m sure glad it turned into a party thread!
Thanks for the beautiful flowers! You’d think I’d get tired of plants! LOL

[Conspiracy Guy]

artful but depressing ; )

[gardengirl]

Yep, annual thing, I’m afraid! LOL Greenhouse is full of cole crops. In about two weeks, we’ll shift them all outside and fill it back up with the maters and peppers/ flowers and herbs I just sowed and put in the incubator! My co-worker, Lisa, is going to HATE me about then, when we’ve got oodles of transplanting to do and it all needs to be done yesterday!

[MEG33]

I was in a party mood...sorry I missed it, too. I was Olympic watching.
My Navy grandson’s wife is in Hawaii and I was so happy the
tsunami did no harm.
I will miss you these next busy months.

[gardengirl]

We’ve been watching the Olympics off and on. WHAT is the point of curling! LOL

Living in Hawaii! Wow! I’d love to visit there and Australia/New Zealand, but I’m afraid I’ll have to do it in books/movies. Not much on traveling!

Thanks! I’ll miss you guys too. I lurk a lot, even if I don’t reply!

Fr went down briefly..lost my reply

I actually watched enough Curling to understand it more..I watch some of every sport...only in the Olympics.

I do all my traveling by internet now.
I would love to visit those places, too.

My grandson has been deployed for 6 months..and will be back to Hawaii soon.They are being transferred to Norfolk..,a big change.
Of course we all like it because they will be closer to home.

Good Sunday Morning

Thank you, Kitty, for your lovely scripture and sparrow.

Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

[gardengirl]

Don’t you hate that?! Perfect reply, and it gets sent to Pluto.

Norfolk? That’s right up the coast from here! The grandkids, and their parents, live with us. SIL is in the process of joining the Army. Going to kill me when they finally move out. I’ve gotten spoiled. :)

[pollywog]

Oh thank you so much Kitty Mittens for the sweet reminder of God’s Care over us.

I’m home today while family is off to worship. Today is my “ care for son day”... our special needs buddy is here this weekend. SO listening to some great hymns on the Old Fashioned Christian Radio station... sun is shining very bright here in Los Angeles!

Praise God for His Love!

Music playing right now is “ I will Sing of My Redeemer”!!

[pollywog]

GG , what do you grow?

[MEG33]

I have not lived in the same town with any family since I married..Thank heavens we all live in the same state and my daughter is moving closer to me soon.

Amazing Grace

by John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

DEAR GOD, who suffered torment, agony,
and death upon the Cross to free our souls
from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend
our troops. Guide them in the performance of
their duties. Strengthen them to endure hard-
ship,danger and deprivation in Your service. Let
their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghan-
istan from the chains of terror and slavery,
foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all
to a greater share in Your Mercy.
Amen.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24(KJV)

Have a Blessed Lord’s Day!
