Mornin' Miss Billie!

I *see* some of The Finest are complying with your suggestion we wear red to signify our support for our troops:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I spy LUV W - - hurrying to work!

and Gabz warbling a tune for us early birds - -

Tuliptree76 graciously pours coffee:

Here is lonestar's Mom stepping outside briefly,
dressed for a thunderstorm that is about to arrive:

Our dear jwfiv (AKA Johnny Fox) takes a day off
to go to the beach, and is in the spirit of things:

Last. but not least,
someone told me this *could be* our missing Thin Man,
secretly off on vacation and eating very well!!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Gotta go, Miss Billie, trying to catch up with GailA
to help her choose a new red dress
for her birthday that's today!!

Rock Bottom

Read:
Psalm 119:65-72

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes. —Psalm 119:71

Bible In One Year: Jeremiah 47-49

cover I was in my early thirties, a dedicated wife and mother, a Christian worker at my husband's side. Yet inwardly I found myself on a trip nobody wants to take—the trip downward. I was heading for that certain sort of breakdown that most of us resist, the breakdown of my stubborn self-sufficiency.

Finally I experienced the odd relief of hitting rock bottom, where I made an unexpected discovery: The rock on which I had been thrown was none other than Christ Himself. Cast on Him alone, I was in a position to rebuild the rest of my life, this time as a God-dependent person rather than the self-dependent person I had been. My rock-bottom experience became a turning point and one of the most vital spiritual developments of my life.

Most people feel anything but spiritual when they hit bottom. Their misery is often reinforced by Christians who take a very shortsighted view of what the sufferer is going through, and why. But our heavenly Father is well-pleased with what He intends to bring out of such a painful process.

A person who knows the secret of the God-dependent life can say, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes" (Psalm 119:71). —Joanie Yoder

Lift up your eyes, discouraged one,
The Lord your help will be;
New strength will come from Him who said,
"For rest, come unto Me." —Anon.

When a Christian hits rock bottom, he finds that Christ is a firm foundation.
