Morning Billie!!!!!!!
Have to run some errands before the rains come - be back in a bit!!!!!!!
Good Morning Billie! Cute picture.
Hi, Gabz - we've been having slow, drizzling rain off and on for 4 days. (NOT complaining!) I feel so bad for those who've been hit so hard by the hurricanes this season. :(
I know exactly how you feel.
It strarting pitting just as I went outside with my book yesterday to sit and wait for the school bus. Now it's just damp, humid, and sticky.......ugh.
Hi, xp - thank you! Didn't have a coordinated Welcome for today, so I just rummaged through my files on hand. I like that one a lot, too! :)
Read: Philippians 4:4-13
If there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. —Philippians 4:8
Bible In One Year: Isaiah 5-6; Ephesians 1
An executive of the world's largest toymaker said, "We are such a machine in terms of what we deliver on an annual basis that it doesn't allow time to think."
In an effort to stimulate creativity, this company is taking selected employees out of corporate headquarters and encouraging them to think together in new ways. For instance, when asked to devise a method to prevent an egg from breaking if dropped from 14 feet, one group went beyond the conventional approach of trying to cushion its fall and created an egg bungee cord.
What about us? Are our lives so focused on activity and production that we don't take time to think? In Paul's letter to the Philippians, he told them to meditate on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and of good report (4:8). What would happen if we began this kind of thinking together in our churches and homes? Might we discover creative, God-given approaches to problems that seem to defy solution? Would our perspective on life undergo a radical change?
"Meditate on these things" is a great command. Obeying it with our families and other believers could open doors of discovery for helping others, serving God, and living for Him. Now that's something to think about! —David McCasland
I know what you mean about the hurricane victims. Up here in Toronto the last few days have been picture perfect weather. Cloudless skies with temperatures in the 70s which of course contrasts greatly with Florida but come January and February its snow cold and slush while they get the postcard weather.
Howdy Billie and everyone.
Good Morning Billie. That is a beautiful pledge.
"Right thinking leads to right living."
Your message for the day never disappoints.
Good morning to all our Hostesses.
Good morning and afternoon to all the Finest ... )
Ugh is right - really hard on the hair, too! Either takes the curl out or puts the frizz in. :)
Oh, what a neat new coffee mug! I like it!
Ah, the ideal life for a 'fair weather' person would be to have a getaway home in various parts of the country and move there at just the right times to avoid unpleasant weather elsewhere. See, I could live (I think) happily with about 70o weather year-round. LOL
Howdy, Dubya. :)
Hi, fellow Texan - hope your work week is going well. :)
Geez, it's EXTRA, EXTRA quiet today! I think I'll take a nap after checking some of the other FR threads. :)
