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!

Sunsets and Sunrises.. ah, they produce sighs and amazed responses from us, paintings, poetry & songs from the artists of the world and are a photobugs glorious hog heaven !
Enjoy the pictures & share yours. I had about 75 in my stash & just am sharing a couple here. Also share your sunrise/sunset moments of joy or sadness
A melody & words from the musical Fiddler on the Roof - Teyves soulful offering.
Is this the little girl I carried? Is this the little boy at play? I dont remember growing older, When did they?
When did she get to be a beauty? When did he grow to be so tall? Want it yesterday when they were small?
Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset, Swiftly flow the days, Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers, Blossoming even as they gaze . . .
Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset! Swiftly fly the years, One season following another, Laden with happiness and tears . . .
One season following another, Laden with happiness and tears . . .
( sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset . . . )
Sunrise/Sunset(thanks Victoria!)
We could not have sunsets or sunrise glory without the sun. It is the most prominent feature in our solar system. It is the largest object and contains approximately 98% of the total solar system mass. One hundred and nine Earths would be required to fit across the Sun's disk, and its interior could hold over 1.3 million Earths. The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000°C (11,000°F). This layer has a mottled appearance due to the turbulent eruptions of energy at the surface.

'Morning, Dolly. Beautiful photos! You forgot the "Amen" at the end of the Pledge. (Just teasing). When I was in elementary school, I always said "Amen" at the end. I can't remember if I was the only one or if others in my class said it, too. But I thought it was a prayer just like all the other ones I said. :)

Thank you for your kind response. I am glad you enjoyed the "opening" but at the Finest it is just the start. I have a feeling we will have LOTS of pix etc shared by the others.
Stop back if you are able.

Focus On Being
LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ:
Matthew 6:25-34Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin. Matthew 6:28
[God] heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Psalm 147:3-4 During a small-group exercise at a seminar, we were asked to introduce ourselves without referring to our occupations. The challenge was to explain who we are instead of telling what we do. It was not easy to focus on being instead of doing.
Dr. William H. Thomas, a geriatric specialist, has pointed out that babies begin life by being. As we approach adulthood, the emphasis shifts to accomplishment. Then, as we grow older and our energy wanes, we must refocus on being. Elderhood brings us full circle, Thomas says, to a life that favors being over doing. This is a gift of great value.
But the search for being isnt confined to the sunset years. Jesus said that the proper focus is the antidote for anxiety at any age. He told His followers to look at the birds and flowers, which are not defined by what they do, and yet God cares for them.
Oswald Chambers said: Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow . . . they simply are! Think of the sea, the air, the sun, the stars, and the moonall of these simply are as well, yet what a ministry and service they render.
As Christians, our value to God comes not from what we do for Him, but in what we are to Him. Our beingmore than our doingglorifies His name. David C. McCasland
Were members of Gods family,
Were children of the King;
Because weve put our faith in Christ,
To us Hell always cling. Sper
You are one of a kinddesigned to glorify God as only you can.

Thank you Rus! always great to have the cuppa here!
I used your prayer list this am due to time crunch. Don't think mine is up to date.
My cable was NOT on when I got up at 4 to finish the thread. It was restored about 8:45 & so I had to scramble and didn't get to design a special pledge like I wanted.
I believe my name on the finest schedule is Murphy's clue to "get busy"
I am leaving in a few minutes to take my friend Paul for his annual colonscopy. Long drive both ways to his place then the medical facility & we were told the time in was to be 3 hours.. so I will be gone a good part of the day.
cold & overcast here. No sunrise (to view & aw over)

Sunrise, sunset theme, hmm? I guess it's time for this then ...
Sunwink
Ive always loved the sunset,
A bow upon the day,
Thats been wrapped up in lovingness,
All set to put away.
To place among the memories,
Of happy days gone by,
For times when things dont go so well,
On days that make you cry.
A sunrise is as lovely,
But colder in its way,
More distant in the joyfulness,
That happens every day.
Though lens cant separate them,
The difference is this,
The sunrise is a promise,
And sunset is a kiss.
