Oh, what I would have given, to have my parents keep the baby just “ONE” afternoon - but overnight too? What a blessing!

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!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[MEG33]

Thank you, Conor..It was fun to search for these.

[jaycee]

I saved you half! And I ate the other half! (Got the kitchen part cleaned up....)

I had to run out late yesterday evening and I picked up a bag of the miniature heath bars......so good!

I called the computer doctor to shut down my computer!! LOL~

The Legend of the Bluebonnet

The Texas fields are covered
With a blanket of deep blue.
But for a little Indian girl,
This would not be true.

Texas land was buried and dry.
Rains just would not come.
Indians danced and prayed for rain,
And beat upon their drums.

The Chief made a proclamation.
He appealed to one and all.
A prized possession must be sacrificed
Before the rains would fall.

The Indian camp was silent,
While each person searched his heart.
But when it came to sacrifice,
With possessions they would not part.

Suddenly a little girl stepped forth,
Holding her blue-clad doll.
She placed it in the roaring fire
and raindrops began to fall.

The rain brought forth the grass,
Among its blades, flowers of blue.
To be a sign for all the time
Of a love so pure and true.

When I had my first one, I lived 400 miles away from parents. Never had help...except when he was born! People go out more these days than back then!!

[yorkie]

JC, thank you for that sweet Angel graphic. I’m so glad “He watches over me!”

[ConorMacNessa]

Beautiful, Yorkie! A Blessed Lord's Day to you!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[yorkie]

My parents lived ten minutes from us, when my first was born. They told us the day he was born - “We aren’t built-in babysitters. You want to go out? Hire someone to watch the kid.”

Well, we couldn’t afford to pay a sitter - so we just didn’t go out. It would have been such a blessing to have parents like your son and his wife are, JC!

[jaycee]

So am I, yorkie! He brought us through the night, didn’t He?
I will be back later....have some things to do!!

[yorkie]

Thank you Conor! May you have a wonderful Lord’s Day today too....along with all those close to your heart.

[yorkie]

"I saved you half! And I ate the other half!"

I'm sure you did!
I could just imagine your digging into it.......
But, where's MY half???

I'll bet MEG ate it!
