Thanks for the warning.

[tiapam]

Well, I’m very glad to hear you can be helped. Are you able to drive at all?

[potlatch]

Mine is quite correctable too teenie. Just scary and I have to go get a full physical first and haven’t been in for some time. Just scary, lol.

Thanks for your thoughts!!

[potlatch]

I don’t drive at night, but have little reason to most of the time anyway.

[oldteen]

Thank you for that, yorkie.

I've never heard that before!

[tiapam]

Well, that’s good! Again, please let us know how everything goes, O.K.?

[potlatch]

I sure will but it will be awhile with all the appointments, lol. Thanks for thinking of me Pam!

[oldteen]

That's good to know (that it's correctable).

Wish you good luck!

The older we get the scarier things are but also necessary!

[oldteen]

Shoot...I don’t drive at night either but has nothing to do with my eyesight (except I can’t see if something is running out from the side of the road...lol.) But, at night it’s REALLY dark around here....no streetlights in 99.9% of this town!

[potlatch]

Lots of traffic that blind you here, plus the meridians in the center of the streets and they don’t ‘stand out’ at night.

I’ll be ok, just have to get it all done. Thanks so much for your concern teenie. I’ve got to get to bed, night!

[tiapam]

GOOD LUCK! :)

[oldteen]

Night, potlatch!

Take care of yourself!

Sweet dreams and a great tomorrow!

Philippians 4:6,7 Be anxious for nothing,
but in everything by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 pray without ceasing.

Serve Him Today
March 30, 2011

Most of us have wanted something so badly that even though we knew it was wrong, we plunged after it anyway. Later we have felt sorrow for our spiritual stubbornness and stupidity. In the aftermath of willfully disobeying God, we may become angry with ourselves, numbed by regret, or resigned to the consequences of our foolish mistake. But there is another choice.

When the people of Israel insisted on having a king despite the warnings of Samuel the prophet (1 Sam. 8:4-9), God allowed them to have their way. But when they realized the tragic results of their choice, they asked for Samuel’s help and prayers (12:19). Samuel told the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart” (12:20).

We can’t undo yesterday, but we can act today to influence tomorrow. Samuel promised to pray for them and teach them the right way. He urged them, “Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you” (v.24).

God invites us to serve Him today, humbly acknowledging His forgiveness and His faithfulness.

Sins confessed you must forget;
Look not back to yesterday—
Full of failure and regret;
Look ahead and seek God’s way. —D. De Haan

Don’t let yesterday’s failures bankrupt tomorrow’s efforts.

Read: 1 Samuel 12:19-25

You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. —1 Samuel 12:20

Bible in a year:
Judges 9-10; Luke 5:17-39

Have a Warm & Fuzzy Wednesday!

[jaycee]

There was a lot going on last night after I left the thread! I absolutely loved this sweet video. Sad but wonderful, too. Thank you, yorkie!

I may get to glance at the rest of the thread after I get straightened out for the day. I watched DWTS last night and just tried to relax a while. It was very nice.

[yorkie]

All your posts from last evening are great!
