By You I have been upheld from birth . . . . My praise shall be continually of You. —Psalm 71:6


Only this hour is mine, Lord
May it be used for Thee;
May every passing moment
Count for eternity.  Christiansen

Whatever the season of life, attitude makes all the difference.

Life's Seasons

Read: Psalm 71:1-21

By You I have been upheld from birth . . . . My praise shall be continually of You. —Psalm 71:6

Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 30-31; Mark 15:1-25


When we are young, we can't wait to grow up. When we are old, we look back longingly to former years. But God intends that we joyfully take each season of life as it comes. Whatever our age, He imparts what we need to be all that we can be. He asks us to commit our way to Him and accept the struggles He allows and the strength He provides.

A woman who was facing the difficulties of aging asked Bible teacher J. Robertson McQuilkin, "Why does God let us get old and weak?" McQuilkin replied, "I think God has planned the strength and beauty of youth to be physical. But the strength and beauty of old age is spiritual. We gradually lose the strength and beauty that is temporary so we'll be sure to concentrate on the strength and beauty that is forever. And so we'll be eager to leave the temporary, deteriorating part of us and be truly homesick for our eternal home. If we stayed young and strong and beautiful, we might never want to leave."

Are you in life's springtime? Trust God's timing to fulfill your dreams. Are you in life's summer or autumn? Face your daily challenges head-on. And if you feel winter's chill, draw close to the Lord. His presence can make every season of life one of strength and beauty. —Dennis De Haan

Only this hour is mine, Lord—
May it be used for Thee;
May every passing moment
Count for eternity. —Christiansen

IRISH BLESSING

May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.

Kerry's Irish Lies


There once was a man from Nantucket
Whose misstatements could fill up a bucket.
Oft the truth he has bent,
Like his "Irish descent."
Of his record he says, "I'll just duck it."

Ed Gillespie, the Republican Party chairman




Irish, Too

Must he make it so hard to keep track?
First he's French, then he's Jewish, then black
Aye and begorra,
Sure'n tomorrow
It's the Irish John Kerry comes back.

Dutchess, today I got to see your thread for the first time - yesterday was not good for AOL users (on this thread in particular, because there were too many graphics we couldn't see.) :(

It is just beautiful - what a wonderful job you did. Thank you!
