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

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. : )

"Wear Red" Friday
You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.
Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.
I received this in my email June 10th, 2006 - the author is unknown. I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

Very sweet, Majie. God Bless You this morning. Your pictures reminded me of that song we were looking for “Wish you were here”. That is the saddest song, especially when, like me, I can picture my husband.

Meg, how would I send a link from Youtube of a song. Now I know how to email it to my email buddies but I am talking about here. I heard the prettiest “love song” from the Canteen this morning and everyone should hear it “with Kleenex”. LOL~~

International Friendship
READ: Colossians 1:3-12
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you. Colossians 1:3
In 1947, Nadia from Bulgaria and Millicent from the United States became pen pals. For years they swapped photos, school experiences, and dreams. Then their letters stopped when government policy banned personal contact with the West.
After many years of political upheaval and change, Millicent, on a whim, sent a letter to the last address she had for Nadia. To their delight, the letter got through. Before long, they discovered that both had married doctors and both collected seashells. Forty-eight years after their first letter, the two friends finally met at Miami International Airport, where Millicent exclaimed, Nadia! I would know you anywhere!
The letters of the apostle Paul overflow with affection and gratitude for his friends. In his letter to the Colossians, he wrote: We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you (1:3). His letters also encouraged their walk with Christ (v.10).
Any friendship can be a gift from God. But nothing runs deeper than the relationships of those who share a bond in Christ. In fact, Jesus commanded His disciples: Love one another as I have loved you (John 15:12). In Him, friendships are treasures that will last forever.
Of all the many blessings
That our gracious Father sends,
I thank Him most of all today
For loyal-hearted friends. Halse
A true friend is a gift from God.

For My Hawk And Playmate - To My True Kindred Spirit |
|
|
Come dance with me in the wind and the weather holding fast we tumble through heather purple, gold, opal, white, new discovered by dawn's fresh light. Come laugh with me til breath is scant our cheeks blood red with merriment. Eyes aglow, mischief bright the other's joy brings each delight.
Answer to Lenchen by Hawk:
To my true kindred spirit:
I will dance with you in the wind and the weather, holding you tight as we tumble through heather. May the dance last forever, and may time be abolished could I say something clever so all doubts be demolished? I will laugh without rest 'til my lungs are screaming will consider it best to be trusting and dreaming. Eyes aglow with a shimmer, like the children we are, as we dance in the glimmer of the morning - not far. As I hold your sweet hand and look into your eyes, as we dance through the land, as we watch the sun rise. Now I know what I've missed 'cause it did not ring true: As children we've kissed and this child loves you. And wherever you go when your heart wants to smile, I will never say 'NO' to the very last mile.

When the blanket of the nighttime, Enfolds me in its sleep, All the problems of the daytime, I will pass to God to keep.
I know He can cope better, Than however hard I try, As I try my best to fall asleep And close a weary eye.
And drifting off like magic, Into gentle peaceful dreams, He gives me understanding, Of my life and what it means.
In soporific solitude, My thoughts will slide away, In total preparation For an up and coming day.
And always my last vision, Soft and gentle, very kind.. Is of a tiny lilac butterfly Which comes flitting through my mind.
Caressing every thought I have... Events throughout the day... Its like he's come to wish goodnight, And always he will say...
'We have come to bless you, And keep a watchful eye, We'll always take good care of you, You know....your God, and I'.
Sally Hemingway

To: LUV W; Kitty Mittens
thank you luv. I am still looking for her. After all the years of her waiting by the door, on my lap EVERYTIME I was at computer & in my bed & on my side when sleeping, It is a change.. and not a good one.
A black Persian similar to Kitty Mitten’s Fang Face has been coming to my lap quite a bit this week... He is about 3 & when he arrived here as a kitten had very bad eye infections. The eyes are crossed severely but he seems to see. His litermate “Darkness” or Blind Kitty - those are her two names— didn’t fare as well & is blind from the same eye infection.
