The Servants Knew
Read:
|
Few weddings are matters of life and death, but they often feel that way to the people involved. After giving three daughters in marriage, I can appreciate the concern parents have over proper arrangements for their guests. So whenever I read about the wedding in Cana in John 2:1-11, I find myself smiling at every turn.
Although the events strike me as lighthearted, Jesus' miracle of turning water into wine had the serious purpose of revealing Himself as the Son of God to His disciples.
Many people may have seen the large stone jars being filled with water. But it was the servants, who had poured every gallon, to whom the Lord said, "Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast" (v.8). The Bible says simply, "And they took it." Their unhesitating obedience is a model for us in our daily God-given tasks.
The master praised the bridegroom, saying, "You have kept the good wine until now!" He didn't know its origin (v.10), "but the servants who had drawn the water knew" (v.9).
Like them, we recognize that whenever God uses our meager efforts to help others, it's a miracle of His power. The servants at Cana who drew the water knew that the praise belonged to Jesus. And so do we. David McCasland
God's great power deserves our grateful praise.
On November 10th is a VERY IMPORTANT Birthday - the 230th of my United States Marine Corps!
Was just browsing a Marine Corps site and found a link to some GAMES!

*Always* praising and thanking Him, I am going back to bed.
Didn't sleep much, so will try to get a few hours now....

I KNOW your hearts are heavy. man, these little furry friends capture our heart and souls.

Amen M, you make sure you get your needed rest.
You should "borrow" the background for the Military Monday for your profile page. do you know how to do that?
Not sure if I do or not to be honest. Which background?
if I get time over the weekend, I will play around a bit & see what I come up with.
Today cannot. Need to do garbage now & get ready for a friend who is coming over to help me with a few things I cannot do (incapacitated a bit since my fall) - like mowing etc.
I will email (if I can find your email) the HTML that you can post & look at ..in draft form just in a regular post.
FReepmail me your email addy Rus. I have it somewhere on other ocmputer but it will be much easier to just plug in in here. I have a new one since I have DSL & will send to you also
Blessings to all of you.
Your Pets In Heaven
by Ken D. Conover
To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you.
For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly. For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.
I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.
Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures.
I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.
We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever.
You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed as surely as we are. Your Pets In Heaven
U got mail.
Take your time, we are very busy with the last couple of days till election.
It was sad. We were there for her and her passing was gentle. Thank you, deadhead for ht poem.
you have mail
finished
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
