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. : )

Did You Thank God Today?

Read:
Psalm 100

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving . . . . Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. -Psalm 100:4

Bible In One Year: Numbers 11-14

On my way to work one day I saw a bumper sticker that read: "Did you thank a green plant today?" Plants are essential to the balance of nature. They release oxygen into the air. They're also a source of food, fuel, medicine, and building materials.

Was the bumper sticker suggesting that because we are so dependent on plants we should actually thank them? If that's what the driver believes, he certainly has a lot to learn about who should receive our gratitude.

Nature bears marvelous testimony to the wisdom of the Creator. The interdependence of one life-form on another makes us realize that we're part of a complex system characterized by beauty and balance. But to direct our praise to nature reminds us of Paul's indictment of those who "worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator" (Romans 1:25). God alone is worthy of our gratitude! He set our world in motion, and He sustains it by His power.

Yes, it's wonderful to be alive, and deep feelings of appreciation often well up within us. But we must always center our devotion on the One who not only provides the air we breathe but also gives us eternal life through faith in Christ.

I'd like to see that bumper sticker changed to: "Did you thank God today?" -Dennis De Haan

Wind and water, light and sod
Speak with faithful lips for God;
May we give to Him our praise
For the goodness He displays. -Anon.

When you think of all that's good, give your thanks to God.

Thank you for those uplifting words this morning.

[WVNan]

Good Sunday morning to everyone. May the Good Lord bless you all. Have to be running and will check back this afternoon. BTW Rus, where did you find that story about my son-in-law? LOL

[WVNan]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...Dave, what a cute puppy. He/she looks a little sad. Give it a big huggy for me. If it's a girl, I suggest LadyX for a name. If a boy just call him Diver. A Lab, right?

[WVNan]

Note to self. Read thread before posting. Have a blessed day all.

[Aquamarine]

Doc sounds like a good name for your new dog. Hope you enjoy your dog as much as I do mine. :)

[Dubya]

Sorry about the misspelled word.

Eve is doing much better after her attack. So far no permanent damage. Thank you all who have been praying for her. Dub & Eve

[deadhead]

Happy to read that Eve is doing good. Continued prayers for Eve and for you too Dubya.

[WVNan]

Looky what I found out today. Somebody on a thread mentioned the name of the Lt.Gov. of Ala. and it turns out that she is an old friend of mine. I had no idea she was even in politics. Of course she's a Dem.

[Dubya]

Thank you.

[The Mayor]

Amen Dubya!

Prayers and Hugs for Eve and You..

[Dubya]

We thank you.

[Aquamarine]

I'm not familiar with her. It seems unusual that Alabama would have a dem for Lt. Gov., she must be a good person. She's very pretty.

[Dubya]
