great pix of ron/jackie. she looks a lot like Jul.
It is hard to see young people go so young. breaks your heart for sure.
Meg, I knew you were a widow but didn't know your hubby was so young.. for some reason I thought it was more recent. Hard to lose the love of your life & the kids lose their dads.
Indeed.

1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.
4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

Wishing My Finest FRiends a Blessed Sunday

READ: Mark 3:31-35
Everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. —1 John 5:1
When I was growing up, I often heard my pastor read the Ten Commandments and our Lord’s command to love God with our whole being and our neighbor as ourselves. I knew I didn’t fully live up to those demands, but I took them seriously.
As an 8-year-old, I felt sadness when a 6-year-old neighbor boy in a non-Christian family died. But I also felt guilt because I was not as sad as I would have been if this had happened to one of my brothers. And still today, even though my brothers and I all have our own families who come first in our lives, we still take a keen interest in one another.
God is pleased when we cherish these family ties, but He also wants us to love all who have entered our spiritual family by being born again. This is the family Jesus referred to when He responded to a message that His mother and brothers desired to speak with Him. He looked at the audience before Him and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother” (Mark 3:34-35).
Loving the lost is our duty, but loving those born into God’s family, no matter what their faults, should come naturally. It is, after all, a family thing.
Good Morning..Thank you ,Mayor..Good lesson!
Oh, YUM. I love color, all those colors, especially all together like that.
Dear Rus, I am sorry to hear of the loss in your family.
Jackie is blessed to have you caring for her. I can't imagine what people without faith do in times like this. In grief, God is all we have.
BTW, my great-grandmother was named Georgeanne. They called her Georgie.
Sure, those are great. I was looking at jelly beans yesterday too; planning for Easter baskets. While shopping, I saw some camo Easter eggs, the plastic kind you put stuff inside of.
