Bible in a Year:
Bear with each other and forgive one another.
Eighty years of marriage! My husband’s great-uncle Pete and great-aunt Ruth celebrated this remarkable milestone on May 31, 2021. After a chance meeting in 1941 when Ruth was still in high school, the young couple were so eager to get married that they eloped the day after Ruth graduated. Pete and Ruth believe God brought them together and has guided them all these years.
Reflecting on eight decades of marriage, Pete and Ruth both agree that one key to sustaining their relationship has been the decision to choose forgiveness. Anyone in a healthy relationship understands that we all regularly need forgiveness for the ways we hurt each other, whether through an unkind word, a broken promise, or a forgotten task.
In a section of Scripture written to help believers in Jesus live together in unity, Paul refers to the essential role forgiveness plays. After urging his readers to choose “compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience” (Colossians 3:12), Paul adds the encouragement to “forgive one another if any of you has a grievance” (v. 13). Most importantly, all their interactions with each were to be guided by love (v. 14).
Relationships that model the characteristics outlined by Paul are a blessing. May God help all of us work to cultivate healthy relationships characterized by love and forgiveness.
Thanks for remembering and honoring our Troops, Kathy!
Good evening, radu...dry or rain? Have the high winds stopped without major tree falls?
It’s still above freezing and the talk is about rain. *sigh*

Nice tribute. Brings back fun memories. I had the privilege of jumping with the teams and the leap frogs in San Diego for about a year while I was in flight training at North Island, 85’ to 86’.
Howdy, Kathy.
No rain since I woke up this morning but it stayed cloudy. The wind is down from last night but it was still fairly breezy.
It’s really pretty up there right now after you had a gloomy day. There was at least one rain shower north of town a couple of hours ago - - the sun peeked out just right and there was a rainbow.
And there were some NICE colors at sunset.
Howdy, PRO.
How are things with you these days?
Things are pretty slow here. Just me and da kittehs hangin’ out.

The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
I hope winter ends early, we're suppose to get back into single digits this upcoming weekend and continued cold, *Sigh*
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
We made it through hump day. Hope your week is going well.
Good evening, Pro...the Navy Seals in fly mode.
Oh BOY!! Doctor appointments. Sounds like a fun week for you. NOT!
Those single-digit temps don’t sound like fun at all. I feel for ya. I imagine a lot of folks across the northern part of the country are hoping for winter to end early. It’s been a bit tough.
We’ve had cold snaps - have one tomorrow - but it hasn’t been too bad a winter for us, except for Christmas weekend.
We’ll be in the mid 50s this weekend. *ducking*
:-)
Thanks for sharing your experience.
We thank you for your service to our country.
1st!!
Howdy, luvie.
What a great pic. Hard to tell who’s the happier of the two.
This freeper was a member of that 1969-70 LEAP FROG team. Hoo-ya!
