Amy, I think the best thing you could have done is watch the movie with her. I’m sure she loved it and it made you feel good also. Sometimes those things are most important!

Cute kitty/dog graphic! My, that cat is generous.....LOL!

[jaycee]

Awwww, I sure hope so! I think of the pets we’ve had in our days. You can fall in love with each one. And we always cry when they go. After all they were an important part of the family. (Good Morning from here.)

See you later, my friend! Went to bed at 10:30 (very unusual for me) and awakened at 6:30 AM!

Chris Tomlin - Angels We Have Heard on High link

[GailA]

Hit and run Sunday morning greeting to ALL, it will be one BUSY day, Cantata tonight, pot luck at church after Sunday School, so I won’t be on much. Hope every one enjoys Chris Tomlin’s version of Angels We Have Heard on High. He has a very nice voice, look at some of the other gospel he’s recorded when you get a chance.

Have a BLESSED LORD’s Day to each and every one.

Zebras and Wildebeests
December 12, 2010

After our plane landed on the gravel airstrip, Jay and I climbed out and entered the world of Masai Mara in Kenya. A Masai tribesman named Sammy met us and loaded our baggage into a Land Rover. Then we headed toward the camp where we would spend the next 2 days.

Stopping so we could watch the zebras and wildebeests migrating from Masai Mara to Serengeti, Sammy explained that the two massive herds travel together because the zebras have good eyesight but a poor sense of smell, and the wildebeests have bad eyesight but a good sense of smell. By traveling together, both are less vulnerable to predators. This was our first lesson from God’s revelation in creation, which Kenya has in abundance.

Just as God makes animals with different strengths and weaknesses, He makes people the same way. God made us to be dependent not only on Him but also on one another. The apostle Paul elaborated on this idea in his letter to the church in Corinth. As members of the body of Christ, we all have different gifts and abilities (1 Cor. 12:12-31).

The church is healthy only when we work together, look out for each other, and use our strengths to benefit one another.

Help us, Lord, to work together
With the gifts that You bestow;
Give us unity of purpose
As we serve You here below. —Sper

We can go a lot further together than we can alone.

Read: 1 Corinthians 12:14-26

There should be no schism in the body, but . . . the members should have the same care for one another. —1 Corinthians 12:25

Bible in a year:
Hosea 9-11; Revelation 3

~Wishing Everyone a Blessed Sunday~

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and nature sing

Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessing flow
Far as the curse is found
Far as the curse is found
Far as, far as the curse is found

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, of His love

To my sweet friends:

I can’t answer your lovely posts for a while because I have much to do upstairs today. I have glanced through and from what I’ve seen, they are beautiful as always.

Luv and Hugs to all! By the way, Joy to the World is one of my favorite Christmas hymns.

I love your 'blue Christmas scene, Tiapam!

Thank you, yorkie.

I get to go shopping!

Isn't that what everyone wants to do? :)

Unfortunately, it's necessary!

[yorkie]

Oh, thank you, JC!
That is one of my favorite Christmas Hymns, too!
(And, thank you for posting all the lyrics.
They are especially meaningful, these days!)
