Thank you, yorkie.

Went in for blood test this am and I’m good to go.

Gotta get a blood test the day before treatment each time. I’m on a first name basis with the lab techs. ;^)

They always ask how I’m doing. I tell them GREAT but I’m open to second opinions.

BREAKING NEWS.......Dog’s owner found!! A little work with the help of the mail carrier, etc. and owner found.

Debbie suggested to them they get a microchip or tag. She advised that they could get a free microchip free at Gulfport!
I’m happy because the little dog didn’t know what was going on I guess.

Hi LFR...

My first viewing was of lyrics only and that's what I went with however, today I watched a video of him and the story. I believe you're right as it showed the father and the boys close to the end.

Anyway, great song, no matter it's interpretation! :)

[LuvFreeRepublic]

Yes, no matter, great song, great message.

[MEG33]

Thank you, my FRiend, I'm Doing Much Better Now, Thanksgiving to our Lord.
It has Taken a Long Time for the Back Surgery to Heal, and I Pray it Continues to Improve.

Facing The Future
January 5, 2012

While going through some old files, I came across a 1992 special issue of TIME magazine titled “Beyond the Year 2000: What To Expect in the New Millennium.” It was fascinating to read the predictions made 2 decades ago about what the future would hold. Some general observations were on target, but no one foresaw many of the events and innovations that have radically changed our lives. The most telling statement to me was, “The first rule of forecasting should be that the unforeseen keeps making the future unforeseeable.”

James reminds us that any view of the future that omits God is foolish and proud. “Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit’; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. . . . Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that’” (James 4:13-15).

Many people used to begin their statement of plans with, “Lord willing.” The phrase may have become trite, but the acknowledgment of God’s overruling hand is not.

As we look ahead with God firmly in view, we can face the future with confidence in His loving plan.

God holds the future in His hands
With grace sufficient day by day,
Through good or ill He gently leads,
If we but let Him have His way. —Rohrs

Those who know Christ as Savior can face the future with joy.

Read: James 4:13-17

If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that. —James 4:15

Bible in a year:
Genesis 12-15

Thank you Kitty Mittens.

((((HUGS BACK to ya )))

[pollywog]

Good Morning and Happy New Year Mayor.
Today’s devotional is spot on... we don’t know about the future, but we KNOW WHO HOLDS OUR HAND!

Blessings,
Polly

[jaycee]

I’m so happy that you are doing a lot better. Will keep you in my prayers for COMPLETE healing, Kitty. And thank you for your good wishes and prayers for me.

((((HUGS))))

Have a peaceful and happy Thursday!

[jaycee]

Have a wonderful day, everyone!
