Thankful Thursday

[jaycee]

I am so sorry about your friend Linda. I hear so many times that as we age and get a broken hip and sometimes we get pneumonia and thats it for lots of older folks.

I will certainly keep Linda in my prayers, teenie. I lost a best friend 10 years ago and I miss her so much. Sometimes I want to pick the phone up and call Nancy so bad. She and I could share anything and everything. Thinking of you, too!

[jaycee]

Some days I feel like Forrest Gump. One good thing, we all loved Forrest Gump!!

[JustAmy]

So sorry to hear this, Teenie.

Prayers being offered for Linda. The infection is scary.

Father, please hold Linda in your healing embrace.
Guide her caregivers in treating no only the broken hip but the staph infection.
Please hold her family close. We pray in Jesus Name. Amen

[oldteen]

Thank you, so much.

Prayers for your friend Linda outbound!

Almighty and Eternal God,
You are the everlasting health of those who believe in You.
Hear us for Your sick servant Linda
for whom we implore the aid of Your tender mercy,
that being restored to bodily health,
she may give thanks to You in Your Church.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

HAPPY THURSDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!

---

Sunset at Galway Bay, Co. Galway, Ireland

Galway Bay

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland
Then may at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream
The women in the meadows making hay
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play.

For the breezes blowing o’er the seas from Ireland
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow
And the women in the uplands digging praties
Speak a language that the strangers do not know.

For the strangers came and tried to teach us their ways
They scorned us just for being what we are
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
Or light a penny candle from a star.

And if there is going to be a life hereafter
And somehow I am sure there’s going to be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish sea.

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

You Fool!
March 16, 2012

It seems to me rather contradictory that Jesus, who was so gentle at times (Matt. 19:13-15), would call some people fools. Yet, as recorded in the Gospels a number of times, our Lord used this derogatory term to describe those He spoke about—especially the Pharisees (see Matt. 23:17-19; Luke 11:39-40).

Jesus also used the word fool in a parable after warning a man about coveting (Luke 12:13-21). What made him foolish is not the fact that he built bigger barns to store his abundant harvest (vv.16-18). It would have been more foolish of him to leave it out in the fields where inclement weather would spoil it. Nor was he foolish because of his thought that this unexpected windfall was enough to last him a long time (v.19). After all, we are urged to follow the example of the ant in “storing up” the harvest (Prov. 6:6-8).

What made the man foolish? He left God out of the picture. He was called a fool because he failed to realize that his life was in God’s hands. While he was planning carefully for his comfortable life on earth, he failed to plan for eternity and store up treasures in heaven (Matt. 6:20).

Does your plan for the future have God in it? You won’t want to be called foolish by Him in the end.

Oh, why not turn while yet you may;
Too late, it soon will be—
A glorious life you may possess
Throughout eternity. —Anon.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. —Jim Elliot

Read: Luke 12:16-21

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” —Psalm 14:1
