When we would first purchase a brand new car, I was always afraid someone would put a little dent in it. I swear when you park in a parking lot, some people don’t care if their door hits your car or not! And I am so darned careful not to touch another person’s car even if it hurts me getting out of mine. I guess we respect other’s things because we were raised like that! (and as that old saying goes, some people were born in a barn.) LOL!

Pretty flowers, teenie!

[Colonel_Flagg]

But of course ... all the ladies are wonderful!

[jaycee]

Judy Garland has such a sweet pure voice when she was young. And the video of flowers was beautiful, Pam.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Yes. :)

[jaycee]

Wonder if this is true or not??

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!

The Lord’s Prayer – Andrea Bocelli

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!

Thank you, yorkie. And that bouquet is beautiful too!

[Mama_Bear]

I don’t think we have any choice in when our birthday happens to be, but I’ve always thought it was quite a coincidence that I would have chosen the very same month and day on which I was born, if I’d had a choice. It just doesn’t get any better than October in New England. :-)

Rest easy, your donuts are safe

[jaycee]

If May Day is your birthday,
this could be your birthday cake!

Thanks for your lovely Sunday posts, Conor!
Hope you've had a lovely peaceful Sunday
with your family. (I heard about your ribeyes...yum! LOL!)

[luvie]

Not true....I’m sure!

[yorkie]

"(I heard about your ribeyes...yum!)"

JC - you heard about them - I smelled them all the way to the High Desert of AZ!

(And then, ate my can of Chef Boyardee Ravioli.)

JUST KIDDING!

[ConorMacNessa]

A lovely Sunday, thanks! I have another post that I would like to add, but I have to get the pic under 100K before I can do so. Should be ready next week.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[luvie]

Ahhhhh...you silver- tongued gent, you! :)

[ConorMacNessa]

Watch out, Yorkie - my #2 son will fight you for a can of Chef Boyardee Ravioli!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!
