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!

The Reason For The Season

For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall
be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
~ Isaiah 9:6

There's a sun porch on the back of the house too,
and to top it off an outside covered porch on the other side..

WOW! I love it! Most new houses have no type of porch at all, such a shame.

[MEG33]

;)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Drats....looks like I missed you.

No you didn't, but you will now, have to leave shortly. : )

Hope you have a wonderful evening!

You too. Hey, you look mighty cute in your jammies. : )

And you snore! LOL

[The Mayor]

Here ya go Louie!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Here ya go Louie!

Wonderful! Man, I'd love to have that many. I do have 'one' and just love it. : )

You certainly have a grand house there, Russ.

[LadyX]

Love your presentation, Aquamarine, with the thoughtful selections of text and music --- it is very much appreciated.

[The Mayor]

I will post the afters in a few days.

That is a customers house in Tonawanda, NY
$11,000 siding job just in time for Christmas.

The Lord will provide.

[ST.LOUIE1]

OK.

The Lord will provide.

Amen. He usually does. : )

G'nite, Russ, sleep well.

[Aquamarine]

Thanks Lady, glad you got to come by and enjoy the Christmas music.

[LadyX]

"Yet we often think our situation is too difficult for God. If we can't solve things ourselves, we doubt that He can. We have our Christian beliefs, yes—but that isn't the same as believing God. Believing God is a personal response that grows out of our Christian faith and is expressed by our increasing trust in Him and His promises."

This is one of my favorite topics, Rus.
One of the hardest things for a Christian is to let go of the reins and allow the Lord to be in charge!

It is my personal opinion every room in a home should display a sign to remind us that says:

It is all too easy to forget otherwise..:))

[Diver Dave]

Amen, dear lady.
Preached a sermon on that very topic several years ago.

[LadyX]

How tragic to learn of this death of a young man, Rus. I would think being in the company of men like you he was a believer -- you are an inspiration to us with your sense of obligation to share The Daily Bread and more with us, and pray for and encourage us.

My prayers stream forth often for you and Jul and the children.

[The Mayor]

I agree 110%, it has gotten easier as age and maturity sets in.
You look at life differently. Raising my children has done much for me.
It is extremly tough raising them in todays society.

Teaching them has taught me, the invaluable lessons of life.
The ones I missed growing up in a non Christian home.

[Aquamarine]

Thanks to all for another special day at The Finest.

[The Mayor]

I'm just a rough shot, chip off the block construction worker..
The Lord has put me into situations that not many Christians work in.

I want him to use me, for His Glory, not mine.

[The Mayor]

G'night Aqua, I am off to bed too.

[LadyX]

That penguin-bear graphic is hilarious, Dave!!

[LadyX]

"her name is Betty."
and now she is "everyone's sister," Texagirl ---

The important fact is GOD KNOWS HER NAME --- and hears our prayers for her, and for you and all her family and loved ones.

[tuliptree76]

Very pretty thread. Merry Christmas to you too!

[LadyX]
