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!

Smiles from our Furry Friends
SMILES
Verse: Dear -ie, now I know just what makes me love you so, Just what holds me and en -folds me in its gold -en glow; Dear -ie, now I see 'tis each smile so bright and free, For life's sad -ness turns to glad -ness when you smile on me;
Chorus: There are smiles that make us hap -py, There are smiles that make us blue; There are smiles that steal a -way the tear -drops As the sun -beams steal a -way the dew; There are smiles that have a ten -der mean -ing That the eyes of love a -lone may see, And the smiles that fill my life with sun -shine Are the smiles that you give to me.
Okay...sing-along time!!! (unless your freeping at work!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are smiles that make us hap -py,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are smiles that make us blue;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are smiles that steal a -way the tear -drops
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the sun -beams steal a -way the dew;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are smiles that have a ten -der mean -ing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That the eyes of love a -lone may see,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the smiles that fill my life with sun -shine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Are the smiles that you give to me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!! - Love - Giz and Friends

Band Of Brothers
I . . . fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ. Colossians 1:24
|
Of all Shakespeare's great plays, Henry V may rank as the most heroic. In one stirring scene, the English army stands fearfully before superior French troops. King Henry challenges his men to take heart. Because the battle will be fought on "the feast of Crispian," their victory will be remembered in its yearly celebration. The king tells his men, "This day is called the feast of Crispian . . . . We in it shall be remembered; we few, we happy few, we band of brothers."
Today, the US Marine Corps refers to itself as a "band of brothers." There is something about interdependence and personal sacrifice while under fire that binds people together for life.
Christians facing opposition can also have such a bond. Paul wrote, "I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ" (Colossians 1:24).
Did Paul believe Christ's suffering on the cross was insufficient? No, His atonement was completely adequate for all our sin. What Paul meant was that as we complete Christ's work on earth amid painful opposition, we share in His sufferings. Jesus suffered for obeying the will of God, and so must we. But like Paul, we can find joy as we draw closer to our Lord and our band of brothers and sisters. Dennis Fisher
Oh, how we need support in times
Of suffering and despair
Upheld with love by saints of God
Who understand and care. D. De Haan
Suffering can be a magnet that draws the Christian close to Christ and fellow Christians.

God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Dutchess, The Mayor, DollyCali or GodBlessUSA and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nations leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.
~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~
We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.
Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Oh, if only every one of our government officials would understand this and work as one for the good of our great country. Great lesson, Mr. Mayor.

"he's sitting on a stool in the kitchen eating ham bites off a fork!" Obviously your Mom has already taught him some manners.
