GOOD MORNING AQUA!
Sorry this Post is late but my Domania site was down again this morning and it just came back up.
That's okay.
But during a recent hotel stay, I was surprised to see an open Bible placed prominently on a table in the lobby. And when I reached my room, instead of the Bible being in a drawer, it was lying open on the desk. My guess is that the owner decided to draw people's attention to the presence of God and His Word as they travel-often alone and sometimes in great need. This caused me to ponder my own response to the Scriptures. Is the Bible open in my heart for people to see? Do my actions give evidence that I'm meditating on God's Word? Psalm 119 is filled with praise for the wonder of God's Word, along with the writer's promise to live by it and share it with others. "I will walk at liberty, for I seek Your precepts," he wrote. "I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love. . . . And I will meditate on Your statutes" (vv.45-47). Since every life is an open book, let's seek to demonstrate the love and power of God's Word, the Bible, for everyone to see. -David McCasland
The careless world will read; We are the sinner's gospel, We are the scoffer's creed. -Flint Of all the commentaries on the Scriptures, good examples are the best. -John Donne

Beautiful thread!
So exquisitely beautiful ((((((Aqua))))))
Thank you for bringing this important message to all of us in the midst of quarrel and confusion.
It is He that we should be focused on this week.
Have a Blessed Day.
Absolutely beautiful Aqua. I can see all the effort you put into this but it is well worth it. Will really sit back and reflect later when I have some time. Thanks for presenting this!
I do so pledge.
Hi Pippin! How are things going for you!
Morning Aqua! Beautiful post today!
Thank you, Yer Honor.
Prayers for Teri Sheivo and her family in this time of great trial. May the Lord be with them.
She did a super job, didn't she? It seems like it was Easter just yesterday, doesn't it?
"I will walk at liberty, for I seek Your precepts," he wrote. "I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in Your commandments, which I love. . . . And I will meditate on Your statutes" (vv.45-47).
Amen.
Thank you Valerie.
I have been so very saddened about the situation going on in the Schiavo case, I have failed to honor the God who is in charge and to His Son, Jesus Christ My Lord and Savior!
