"Count it all joy when you fall into various trials. —James 1:2"

Those trials often are a reminder to "Listen up, Pilgrim" when God wants us to hear His directions for us - to see some new door he is about to open ahead.

This is one of my favorite expressions:

God says:

I am covenanted, committed forever to love you;
to do whatever is best for you.
I will be kind, encouraging and enabling, but I will also be challenging.

At times I will come to comfort you in your affliction.
At other times I will come to afflict you in your comfort.

Whatever I do, it will always be an act of love and an invitation to your growth.

I will be with you to illuminate your darkness, to strengthen your weakness, to fill your emptiness, to heal your brokenness, to cure your sickness, to straighten what may be bent in you, and to revive whatever good things may have died in you.

Remain united to me, accept my love, enjoy the warmth of my friendship, avail yourself of my power, and you will bear much fruit.

Wouldn't that be poetic justice? :) You did a good job on those lyrics, thanks for the laugh, very funny!

My momma always told me to dream big, cause dreamin' don't cost ya nothin'!

Thanks, I didn't have to change a whole lot cause the original writers did such a great job. I had no idea how appropos the words were until I looked them up. :) Glad it made you laugh.

[Aquamarine]

Thanks for posting this again Lady. This part always takes my breath and I always need to hear it.

"I've got spurs - that Ringel Rangel Rangel.."

Hahahahaha. Thanks for the belly laugh Maggie. Please have the Finest of evenings.

Evening Billie. May I ask why Pippin is being silent? Sorry, but I haven't kept up with all the goings on here @ the Finest.

[LadyX]

Hi, Donnie Girl..:))
Glad you're able to spend time with us.

In what part of Texas do you live?
Not treading water, I hope...

Hello, dutchess - just saw your query asking if I were here. About to watch Extreme Makeover, switching back and forth with Survivor; and at 9, with The Apprentice.
You really are flying high these days, aren't you?! How wonderful!

[dutchess]

Hey Aqua. Awesome job today. Mr. D. needs the computers "to straighten me out"
Like flying....I'm white nuckling... don't do change well....

great presentation friend.

[Kudsman]

Hi dutchess, yes John has a gift that you hostesses bring to life. JH2 and the Finest girls; a great combination.

It's on my Profile Page, Aquamarine, if you need to see it now and then.

When I worked at the hospital in North Carolina, a friend was the Secretary to the three Chaplains, and she gave that to me in a dark time...it is so very profound, and meaningful.

[LadyX]

In case Billie is not here to answer you this evening, Pippin does not now have a computer at home, hers dying some time ago.
She works for a large Government Agency, and thus is not allowed to post from her work on their time.

She now and then goes to computers at libraries, etc. to communicate.

Oh. A dedicated FReeper.

Good on you Pip. :-)

How are your two little munchkins, Kudzu Man?

[Mixer]

Hey Mixer. Hope you're spoiling your wife....looking forward to a news of a new freeper or freeperette!

Dutchess....Yes I am. She knows just how to get me to do stuff for her ; ) I love pampering her.

[LadyX]

When is that Little One due to join The Finest Family, Mixer?

[Donaeus]

Your momma is a very wise woman. :)

Thank you very much!! :)

[Kudsman]

lol. Out of breath right now. Thanks for asking. They have been jumping around dancing to the Irish Rovers. It's bath time now so I'm out of here for a few.
