Have a great "THANKFUL THURSDAY", everyone!

[jaycee]

ADORABLE!!!!

[yorkie]

Thanks, JC! I think I’ll take the one in the front, that is tapping his foot. (I think he must have rhythm - and likes music!)

[yorkie]

On the other hand..........those two in the back are smiling. I think they are happy, and like a good joke now and then.

[Diver Dave]

Hard to choose a pup from that litter. I like the happy ones in the back. Then again, if someone picked any one of them they’d show a smile too.

I lurked on FR for years..Despite my atrocious typing skills...I signed up for the march to Baghdad..One thing I really liked about FR was its great troop and veteran support.
I am grateful for your service, Dave.

Precious Puppies, yorkie!

Computer BIG display still exists..I am lucky to have a good supply of saved graphics..I can’t trust doing new ones because it distorts pictures and makes them larger than they are even at 75% instead of 100% zoom level.

I may get a new laptop and send this one to the hospital..I need to wipe everything out and reload windows. Seems that is the only cure for an unknown error that keeps me from being able to install many updates. I’ve been putting it off and now this new problem prompts me to act.
I used to have a desktop for backup but got rid of it because I can’t sit at a computer and also it was an old hand me down.

I downloaded all documents and pictures into a flashdrive last night in preparation.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom...Marcel Proust

[jaycee]

~Thankful Thursday~

[luvie]

[MEG33]

It’s the thought that counts..I hope!

AN IRISH BLESSING
(Click)

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

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)

Feel good post..

I loved your thank you note...Amen

[jaycee]

Thank you, Meg. I love that picture of that sweet man. I’ve been following his and Laura’s trip through Pattyvita’s pictures but I didn’t see that one. I am so proud to have lived when he was our President.

I hope that thread is a daily thread!! Is it?? I need to see those things daily so as to keep my chin up!!

When I think that the now President could get 4 more years, it literally tears me up. I pray daily for some change.

Stop!
July 6, 2012

Life is a busy enterprise. It seems there are always more things to do, places to go, and people to meet. And while none of us would want a life without meaningful things to do, the fast pace threatens to rob us of the quietness that we need.

When we’re driving a car, stop signs and other signs warning us to slow down are reminders that to be safe we can’t have our foot on the accelerator all the time. We need those kinds of reminders in all aspects of our lives.

The psalmist clearly knew the importance of times of calm and quiet. God Himself “rested” on the seventh day. And with more messages to preach and more people to heal, Jesus went apart from the crowds and rested a while (Matt. 14:13; Mark 6:31). He knew it wasn’t wise to accelerate through life with our gas gauge registering on “weary” all the time.

When was the last time you could echo the psalmist’s words, “I have calmed and quieted my soul”? (Ps. 131:2). Put up a stop sign at the intersection of your busy life. Find a place to be alone. Turn off the distractions that keep you from listening to God’s voice, and let Him speak to you as you read His Word. Let Him refresh your heart and mind with the strength to live life well for His glory.

Life can make me weary and stressed at times.
I want to stop right now though, Lord, and take the time
to quiet my soul before You. Speak to me from
Your Word. Please refresh me.

Stop and take a break from the busyness of life so that you can refuel your soul.

Read: Psalm 131

I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. —Psalm 131:2

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 129-132

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Nancy Reagan

[MEG33]

I was just browsing and found that. I don’t think it is a daily thread..
I miss him.

I pray for our beloved nation, too.

[MEG33]

Lovely...Happy Birthday Mrs. Reagan.

[MEG33]

Good advice in today’s devotion. Thank you, Rus.
