A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

"Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord of hosts. -Zechariah 4:6

Let your light shine-whether you're a candle in a corner or a lighthouse on a hill.

AAARRRRGGGHHH! Dansy, I might have been first but as luck would have it,just as I was sitting down to turn on the computer, the power went down. That's Alabama--get a little rain an the electricity goes kaput.

Anyway, it's up now so I can wish all of you a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!

[Lakeside]

Mmmmmmmmm! Donuts! Thanks Mayor. Now where did I put my coffee.....

[dansangel]

AAARRRRGGGHHH! Dansy, I might have been first but as luck would have it,just as I was sitting down to turn on the computer, the power went down.

That's a better excuse than "the dog ate my mouse." LOL!!

Seriously, glad the power is back on. Me, I've got to get some quality work done here before they pull the plug on me - permanently! (But it's Friday - it's *play* day!)

((((((Lakeside)))))))

[dansangel]

Go Light Your World

Read: Zechariah 4:1-6

"Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord of hosts. —Zechariah 4:6

Bible In One Year: 1 Kings 8-9; Luke 21:1-19

---

Do you feel as if you're burning out in your service for God? You may want to supply spiritual light to your dark world till the end of your life, but you wonder if you can. You won't burn out if you understand and apply the truth of Zechariah 4:1-6.

The prophet saw two olive trees that supplied oil to a bowl that fed seven lamps on a golden lampstand. As we think about the reality behind this symbolism, we can be encouraged. You and I are not the source of light that enlightens the world. We can only receive the oil of the Holy Spirit that fuels the living flame He produces. If we burn steadily through the long, dark hours, it is because we have learned to yield our lives to the Spirit's unlimited supply of power and strength. This comes only through continual fellowship with Jesus our Savior.

It needs to be said again and again: It's not what we do for the Lord, but what He does through us that enlightens and enriches others. We must be satisfied to be a bright and shining lamp, drawing from the hidden resources of the indwelling Spirit of Christ. Our role is to help others see the glory of His light. And we must remember daily that every demand placed upon us is a demand placed upon Him. —David Roper

Help me, dear Lord, to be honest and true
In all that I say and all that I do;
Give me the courage to do what is right,
To bring to the world a glimpse of Your light. —Fasick

Let your light shine—whether you're a candle in a corner or a lighthouse on a hill.

[The Mayor]

I found your coffee !

[The Mayor]

A Happy and Blessed FRiday to you!

Morning dansangel, to you too!

[Temple Owl]

Good morning Billie and FReepers everywhere. I wish you a perfect weekend.

[FreeTheHostages]

[FreeTheHostages]

OK, I've got some Krispy Kremes! But hurry and let's eat them before The Thin Man shows up. Rumor has it he's starved.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks ! You have a lovely day, too.

I just noticed from my post #6, my typo (corrected in brackets):

And we both be[AT] Aeronaut !

I am noticing I make more and more typos as time goes by. Sigh .....
