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!

Thank you to all our Hall of Famers and to all of you who have become part of our Finest Family ... as regular contributors and supporters who drop in every day to say hello.  We wouldn't be here without you. : )

We're THREE AND A HALF years old now! Still having fun. We hope you are. As promised, for your information and perusal, here is our fourteenth "Hall of Fame" - a list of all our threads from the very beginning ... from Monday, June 24, 2002, through yesterday, December 27, 2005.

Some prgress already have appointment at Registry Office for 3.30pm.

Just having a cup of tea and bite to eat and will try the Funeral Directors again.

[snugs]

More progress got hold of the Funeral Directors and they have advised what form I have to bring them so that they can arrange to collect mum from the hospital.

Things are moving at last.

Dad has spoken to the Minister of the Church where she will be buried and the funeral is arranged for 3.00pm on Thursday 5th January 2005.

We have chosen 2 of her favourite hymns Rock of Ages and Great is thy Faithfulness plus the readings will be from the 23rd Psalm and 1 Cor 6.

Three Needs

Read:
1 John 4:7-21

We have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love. —1 John 4:16

Bible In One Year: Revelation 13-15

I've heard it said that there are three things a person needs to be happy:

1. Something to do—meaningful work or helping others.

2. Someone to love—someone to whom we can give of ourselves, such as a spouse, a child, or a friend.

3. Something to look forward to—a vacation, a visit from a loved one, improved health, the realization of a dream.

Those things may bring some temporary happiness. But for lasting fulfillment, they can all be found in a relationship with Jesus, God's Son.

Something to do. As believers, we have been given gifts from the Holy Spirit to serve our Savior by serving others in God's family (Romans 12:1-16). We are also called to spread the gospel around the world (Matthew 28:19-20).

Someone to love. We love God because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). And we love others, "for love is of God" (v.7).

Something to look forward to. One day we'll be welcomed into God's presence forever, where we will enjoy a perfect place prepared especially for us (John 14:2-3; Revelation 21:3-4). We'll see Jesus and be like Him (1 John 3:2).

For lasting fulfillment, Jesus Christ truly is everything we need. —Anne Cetas

Please help me, Lord, in everything I do
That all my work may show my love for You;
And as I talk with others on the way,
I'll tell them that You may come back today. —Hess

Where there's hope, there's happiness.
