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!

Bush - Cheney 04

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Have A Wonderful Day

Read: Proverbs 11:24-31

Let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. —2 Corinthians 9:7

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 34-36; Colossians 2

---

After admiring a painting in a woman's home, I was surprised by her generosity when she took it down and gave it to me.

I've seen many similar acts of kindness. For years, my mother-in-law hung on to her archaic-looking refrigerator so she could give more money to the Lord's work.

A Christian family I know had saved money to buy a new car. But when they heard of a desperate need on a mission field, they kept their old car and gave to missions instead.

I've also heard of a Christian businessman in Ohio who puts something in his pocket every morning to give away—a pen, a trinket, even a ten-dollar bill. As the day unfolds, he looks for someone who would be blessed by receiving a gift. "By constantly looking for an opportunity to give," he says, "I have a wonderful day."

The old saying "Takers eat well, but givers sleep well" is only partially true. According to Proverbs 11:25, givers also eat well: "The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself."

We must not give grudgingly or merely out of a sense of duty but from the heart. It's the generous, cheerful giver whom God loves (2 Corinthians 9:7). —Joanie Yoder

Give as you would to the Master
If you met His searching look;
Give as you would of your substance
If His hand the offering took. —Anon.

Many people readily give God credit, but few cheerfully give Him cash.

Thanks for this one Mayor.

[The Mayor]

My pleasure!

[deadhead]

Thank You, dixie :-)

Have a great time when you attend your High School reunion!

[dixie sass]

Where is everyone anymore? Have they deserted?

[deadhead]

Maybe they all went on vacation to 'Freeper Island',
a litte getaway before the elections?

LOL, Billie....after I saw dixie's post, I googled 'Freeper Island' and found this :-)

[The Mayor]

I wonder the same thing myself sometimes..

I'm getting ready to post Military Monday..

[dixie sass]

(Standing at attention) Yes sir! Will look for it.

[dixie sass]

Love it!

[The Mayor]

your funny, how have you been?

[dixie sass]

Doing okay - how about you? Built anymore of those gorgeous cabinets?

I wonder why we haven't been having any meetings? Have you heard anything?

[deadhead]

Good Night Mayor and dixie. See you both tomorrow. And, hopefully will see you in D.C. for President Bush's 2nd Inauguration....I just don't let up on that one :-)(not hoping that President Bush will win, I know he will. Hoping some Freeper Friends can make it to D.C.)

[dixie sass]

I'm trying to decide which I can afford - CPAC or the inauguration...

[The Mayor]

I am planning on coming in Jan. I would be great to get together with some online friends!!

[The Mayor]

I haven't heard anything from Dio or BobJ
I have no idea what's up.

I haven't built anymore cabinets : ( I wish I had, that is what I really enjoy doing.

The economy in this state doesn't give people any play money.

[dixie sass]

It's going to be hard to find a room if you haven't already made reservations from what I hear.

[deadhead]

"I'm trying to decide which I can afford - CPAC or the inauguration..."

Must be hard to choose, sure would be nice to see ya, dixie.

"I am planning on coming in Jan. I would be great to get together with some online friends!!"

Great!

Good Night you two, early to bed.....

[deadhead]

[The Mayor]
