HALL OF FAME #19 THE WEEKEND THREAD T.G.I.F. at the Finest |
Every Thursday at the Finest  |
Hmmm . . . could be doing more than stepping . . .
Thank you GeeBee!
Yes, he could be, let me out of here before he lets loose... : )
Looks kind of wet there.
Head east, my ark is in Quincy Hahbah.
Here in California, Purple Heart Recipients are able to purchase personalized license plates for their vehicles which begin with the letters "PH" along with Purple Heart Combat Wounded written across the bottom of the plate.
Just got back from a trip to PetsMart for critter food. While pushing the cart through the parking lot I noticed a PH license plate on a vehicle and saw that the owners were in the vehicle. Sooooo, overcoming my shyness {:)} I went over and offered my thanks for this guy's service.
His response... "oh, thanks. My pleasure."
On my drive home, I noticed my vision becoming blurred as I thought of his sacrifice and his words "My Pleasure."
Quincy.... if I’m that close I will swing by Ashland and see my Brother, Aunt and Gram. Hopkinton to see some friends, Upton, Milford, to see cousins and Marlboro to see my sister and her kids...
Yup, lived there for 28 years and I do love it there, in certain areas that is.
I know Dave, I love to talk to the old timers and when they describe the different battles and the Bravery of their friends, it gives me pause and reflection.
Of course most of them will not call themselves Heroes, but they all are in my eyes.
See, there is always something to be happy about...:-)
(((Gwacie)))
Wonderful experience, Diver Dave. I always learn something on FR and I’ll keep an eye out for those plates.
I do adore that photo...8^]
So... what is the Massassachusetts state cookie?
Oh, Excellent...Thank you.

READ: Proverbs 24:30-34
When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction. —Proverbs 24:32
My father-in-law took a rocky, barren hilltop in Texas and transformed it into a beautiful homesite with a shaded green lawn. After removing thousands of rocks, he added topsoil, planted trees and grass, and kept it watered. Since his death, it has lacked his consistent care. Today when I visit and work around that house, battling the invading thistles, thorns, and weeds, I ponder the state of my own heart.
Am I like that neglected yard, or perhaps the field and vineyard described in Proverbs 24—overgrown with thorns, covered with nettles, its stone wall broken down? (v.31). The owner is lazy and lacks understanding (v.30), perhaps putting off today’s tasks for a more convenient time.
Along with the practical instruction about diligence in work, I find an application for the care of my soul. The thistles of self-interest grow naturally within me, while the fruit that pleases God requires constant weeding and watering through prayer, confession, and obedience to the Lord. Without these, the soil of my heart will become choked with the thorns of trivial pursuits and greed.
“Keep your heart with all diligence,” Solomon wrote, “for out of it spring the issues of life” (Prov. 4:23). That requires constant care.
