Godey's Ladies Book! LOL! I grew up with those prints in my bedroom....
A Wonderful Wed. to all...
Hi, Molly! Which one is from Godey's Ladies Book? :)
Coffee bump!
Nan, let me know you're okay. I'm hearing a lot about the flooding on the River south of us...
That hostess picture of me reminds me why I don't wear bangs, my face is too small. lol
((((((MollyPitcher))))))
It's great to see you two here today. :)
Hi, there, Budge! Hope the New Year will be good to you! Thanks for the bump!
LOL! It's because *I* colored it! You might not believe how *many* pictures I cut and pasted together to get the five of us in one 'setting'. :) The background was one all by itself - I used two or three 'ladies' pictures, which had to have five faces switched, and then cut out, colored and pasted in front of the curtain background - then I found a frame to finish it. LOL! (In that thread, we joked that it was our old prom dresses) :)

LOL! The first time I had an eye exam, the Optometrist said I had the 'shortest' face. :)
Congratulations and blessing for the new year, Pippin.
Guess you shouldn't wear bangs either.
That reminds me the Optometrist I went to Monday said there wasn't anything serious wrong with my eyes, that I just have floaters.
Good morning, Salvation. Wishing you a wonderful new year. :)
That's good news! The floaters are a nuisance, but I think they do eventually go away, don't they?
Always makes me smile to see you pop in with the daily calendar page - seems like old times. :) Hi, Freezie! I like tea, too!
yes, tea is good! Hope you're all enjoying the New Year.
Read: Hosea 11
My heart churns within Me; My sympathy is stirred. —Hosea 11:8
Bible In One Year: Genesis 37-39
The bumper sticker on the blue van caught my attention:
CHOOSE TO FEEL
As I considered those words, I noticed the billboards I was passing. They urged me to choose things that would keep me from feeling—alcohol to deaden emotional pain; fat-laden food to alleviate feelings of emptiness; luxury cars and other expensive items to lessen feelings of worthlessness.
Many of the temptations that lure us away from God do so by promising to relieve the emotional hurt we all feel because of the consequences of sin—our own sin or someone else's.
God set a different example. Instead of becoming numb to the pain our sin causes, He chose to suffer the results of it. Through the prophet Hosea, God expressed the heart-wrenching pain of losing a wayward child. "I stooped and fed them," He said tenderly. "I drew them with gentle cords, with bands of love" (11:3-4). Still they rejected their heavenly Father. Reluctantly, He let them face the consequences.
When we choose to feel the full range of our emotions, we come to a fuller understanding of the God who created us in His image—the image of One who feels.
It's okay to feel that all is not right in the world. God feels that way too! —Julie Link
Yes, the doctor said they will go away but then that more will come along. :(
