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; Aquamarine; 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 nation’s 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.

Living Large

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: 2 Corinthians 6:1-13

We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. —2 Corinthians 6:11

A boating magazine reports that Serenity, Time Out, Serendipity, and Reel Time are some of the most popular names for boats. Not long ago, I saw the name Living Large on a boat in a Grand Haven, Michigan, marina. I’m not sure what that meant to the boat owner, but to many people, “living large” means to own the best possessions, to take the most exotic vacations, to buy whatever you want, to live life extravagantly.

That kind of life, however, doesn’t bring true purpose or satisfaction. Followers of Jesus Christ are to live large in a different way, as seen in the example of the apostle Paul and of his co-worker Timothy. Paul told the Corinthians, “Our heart is wide open” (2 Cor. 6:11). The King James Version puts it like this: “Our heart is enlarged.” They had given their wholehearted affection to the people, just as a father does to his children as he wraps them in his arms. Now they wanted the same response. So Paul requested, “Now in return for the same . . . you also be open” (v.13).

A large-hearted person shows his affection with his words and actions—freely and generously. As believers, let’s live large today and freely welcome and embrace others in love. 

Love through me, Love of God,
There is no Love in me;
O Fire of Love, light Thou the Love
That burns perpetually.  —Carmichael

They do not truly love who do not show their love.  —Shakespeare

Bible in One Year:   Jeremiah 43-45; Hebrews 5

Hi Luv. Speaking of luv...I just LOVE your JH2 Dragon!!!! Have a great day!

[dutchess]

Hi Rus...Glad you found me. Got a late start posting today. As always, thanks for the daily devotional!

[RobRoy]

This article builds two dozen straw men and neatly burns them to the ground.

The real men remain standing however.

Why do so many here think that if you think the economy will tank it is because you are anti Republican? Maybe you just think, based on the way things are going down, that the economy will tank.

Sheesh.

[RobRoy]

>>Since the summer’s ‘credit crunch’ and subprime ‘meltdown’, liberals have been screaming RECESSION! RECESSION! and their “analysts” have been saying a recession is imminent.<<

Sorry, but the meltdown has not really started yet. Read the chart:

[Mama_Bear]

Priceless! Thanks for all you do....both of you!

[The Mayor]

No problem, I am running out right now. I am not usually here this late.

[luvie]

Thank you...it just seems to suit him!

[Billie]

Thanks, you guys, for another good read - you always put a smile on our faces!

[dutchess]

Hi Lori. Sorry I missed you earlier. Had to post and back to work! Hows Chachi???

Just wanted to reiterate how neat yesterday's thread was. (((hugs)))

[dutchess]

Hi Billie. I just love John’s “take” on things! Plus it was nice not feeling pressured to post early. It took all I could to get to my morning meetings on time :o)

[Aquamarine]

In a shock to libbies, most people say their finances are in good shape and show little inclination of wanting to flee to China.

LOL No, not many of us are trying to pursue the Chinese Dream.

— but, being an expert, you want to be wrong,

Too funny!

Hugs to both of you and thanks as always. (Dutchess, that last graphic was perfect!) :)

[Aquamarine]

Hi Mayor, have been missing you on the other threads. Hope you and yours are doing well.

[The Mayor]

We have been so busy with the campaign it has been difficult to engage in much else. That is over now so life is slowly getting back to normal.

But, I am running out to get interviewed about the tolls and the proposed new toll increase. It’s lunacy, pure lunacy.
