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!

~ Billie, Mama_bear, dutchess, Aquamarine, DollyCali ~







Hi Finest Friends... It's Pet Day at the Finest. Maggie (the Lovely LadyX) sent us some pictures with this fun idea in mind. Today we want you to "smile" along with some of our Furry Friends (and...sigh from Rusty and me (Giz) FredtheCat insisted we also feature some feline friends... oh well!). To add to your pleasure please click on this:
Smiles

(Thanks Aquamarine for finding the music!!!!)

ENJOY!!!!




Smiles from our Furry Friends


SMILES

Verse:
Dear -ie, now I know just what makes me love you so,
Just what holds me and en -folds me in its gold -en glow;
Dear -ie, now I see 'tis each smile so bright and free,
For life's sad -ness turns to glad -ness when you smile on me;


Chorus:
There are smiles that make us hap -py,
There are smiles that make us blue;
There are smiles that steal a -way the tear -drops
As the sun -beams steal a -way the dew;
There are smiles that have a ten -der mean -ing
That the eyes of love a -lone may see,
And the smiles that fill my life with sun -shine
Are the smiles that you give to me.


Okay...sing-along time!!! (unless your freeping at work!)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



There are smiles that make us hap -py,


There are smiles that make us blue;


There are smiles that steal a -way the tear -drops



As the sun -beams steal a -way the dew;



There are smiles that have a ten -der mean -ing



That the eyes of love a -lone may see,



And the smiles that fill my life with sun -shine


Are the smiles that you give to me.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!! - Love - Giz and Friends

Go Home And Tell

Read:
Luke 8:26-39

Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you. -Luke 8:39

Bible In One Year: 2 Samuel 9-12

cover Two young men had been friends from childhood. One was a Christian, the other was not. The second man was about to embark on a long ocean voyage, and the believer felt the urge to speak to him about Christ before he left. "I'll do it on the way to the dock," he promised himself. But when they reached the dock, he still hadn't done so.

He went on board to say goodbye, and thought, "When we bring the baggage to his room, I'll speak to him." But the porter took the trunks and suitcases, so they did not visit the stateroom. Finally he said to himself, "I'll be sure to witness to him in some quiet place before the ship departs."

Suddenly, however, there came the announcement that all visitors must leave. Two months later word came that the man had died overseas.

In Luke's gospel, we read of a man possessed by many demons who had been wonderfully restored by Jesus. In gratitude to the Lord he wanted to stay with Him to worship Him (8:38). But Jesus said, "Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you" (v.39).

Will you apply Jesus' words to your life and tell someone of His grace and salvation-beginning at home? Don't put it off. Tell someone now about Jesus! -M. R. De Haan, M.D.

To the work! To the work! Let the hungry be fed;
To the fountain of life let the weary be led;
In the cross and its banner our glory shall be,
While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!" -Crosby

Any place can be the right place to witness.

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; Mama_Bear; Dutchess, Aquamarine; The Mayor or DollyCali 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.

Oh, dutchess - isn't it a marvel that we can be in the most rotten of moods and full of woes, but one look at an animal friend's face can totally transform the moment?!

When I received those critter pictures from my Little Sistah (for 30 years) Terry in Florida, I just *had* to forward them to you..:))

It promises to be a joyous lighthearted day at The Finest.
We need it and deserve it ---

If you wanna be happy, just SMILE !!

Have a great day!
