Hi, Billie Blue.
I know there were some posts from a week ago that I missed but it seems I never get around to going back.
Hope you had a lovely Monday. See you tomorrow.
I love how they put Amy’s Place on the computer screen. There is another (unless it is gone for good) one with me sitting at the table and watching 4 TV sets. It was cute also.
Thank you..Would love to have that on my table!
This is so precious! I am far from through..much filing yet to do.
This is priceless..LOL!
I miss you when you are not there!
You are wlcome!
Thank you, Amy. This is so beautiful!
Thank you!
Brooks is my very preemie great nephew.. He is hanging in there...many episodes of not breathing..He is gaining weight and outlook looks better today than when I posted prayer requests..Still has a long way to go. Prayers he doesn’t have brain damage and eyesight is OK.
His grandmother is my sister in law and is beyond wonderful, his grandfather is my husband’s youngest brother..My son and he bear a strong family resemblance.

I get updates here and write notes.
His dad was the youngest at our family dinners.
Happy Memories
My nephew and his wife are very strong in their faith and are an inspiration.
The ancient Israelites gathered at Gilgal for the coronation of Saul as their first king (1 Sam. 11:15). The Lord was not pleased that His people had asked for a king, yet on this occasion Samuel uttered these words: The Lord will not forsake His people, for His great names sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people (12:22).
We too are Gods own special people if we have trusted Jesus as Savior (1 Peter 2:9). He will not forsake us even though He knows we will fail Him. He knows what we are likesinful, weak, and frail. He knew it before He called us and drew us to Himself. The certainty of our salvation rests not in ourselves but on the character of God (1 John 5:20). He will keep us to the end.
This does not give us an excuse to continue in sin. Paul said, Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? (Rom. 6:2). Our choices do reflect on Gods reputation, our witness in the world, and our fellowship with Him. But God will never reject His people, those who are truly His. The Lord cannot and will not forsake His own (Heb. 13:5).
We can rest assured. What God saves, He keepsfor the sake of His great name!
