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!

The Heart Of Christ

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Luke 19:37-44

Oh, that . . . my eyes [were] a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! —Jeremiah 9:1

I was filling out an online survey when I came to this question: "What is something that is true about you that most people would not guess?" The answer is that I am very sentimental. I get choked up at the movies when the violins start to swell, eyes fill with tears, and the boy finds his long-lost dog—or something comparable. I'm just a softie when it comes to those things.

It's easy and safe to get emotional over fictional characters and events. But it's a different matter to feel deep sadness and grief over real people and their needs. Heartache for the wayward, the suffering, the lost, and the broken tends to mirror the heart and compassion of Jesus, who wept over wayward Jerusalem (Luke 19:41).

When Jeremiah's people were drifting far from God and His love, he also felt the need to weep. He sensed the burden of God's heart and the brokenness of his people. Weeping seemed the only appropriate response (Jer. 9:1).

As we see the condition of the fallen world and the lostness of the people who surround us, let's ask God to give us a heart that mirrors the heart of Christ—a heart that weeps with Him for a lost world and then reaches out to them in love. —Bill Crowder

Teach me to love, this is my prayer—
May the compassion of Thy heart I share;
Ready a cup of water to give,
May I unselfishly for others live.  —Peterson

True compassion is love in action.

There's nothing like an F-18 at sunset to give you a warm, fuzzy feeling.

[The Mayor]

I remember watching them run in a few marathons...

Thanks Cuz... The story is great and the song will tear your heart out.

[Mama_Bear]

.......song will tear your heart out.

Yes, indeed it will! I love that song.

[Mama_Bear]

There's nothing like an F-18 at sunset to give you a warm, fuzzy feeling.

LOL! Yep, 'Fuzziness' is in the heart of the beholder - but I happen to agree with you about the F-18! I've always had a thing for fast cars and fast planes.

Have a good one, Conor.

[JustAmy]

Anyone still here?

Took Prissy Missy to school, now time for a decision .....
Shall I play or clean house?

Hope everyone is having a Wonderful Warm Fuzzy Wednesday!
