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.
Bible in a Year:
Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
As I waited in the breakfast buffet line at a Christian conference center, a group of women entered the dining hall. I smiled, saying hello to a woman who stepped into the line behind me. Returning my greeting, she said, “I know you.” We scooped scrambled eggs onto our plates and tried to figure out where we’d met. But I was pretty sure she’d mistaken me for someone else.
When we returned for lunch, the woman approached me. “Do you drive a white car?”
I shrugged. “I used to. A few years ago.”
She laughed. “We stopped at the same traffic light by the elementary school almost every morning,” she said. “You’d always be lifting your hands, singing joyfully. I thought you were worshiping God. That made me want to join in, even on tough days.”
Praising God, we prayed together, hugged, and enjoyed lunch.
My new friend affirmed that people notice how Jesus’ followers behave, even when we think no one is watching. As we embrace a lifestyle of joyful worship, we can come before our Creator anytime and anywhere. Acknowledging His enduring love and faithfulness, we can enjoy intimate communion with Him and thank Him for His ongoing care (Psalm 100). Whether we’re singing praises in our cars, praying in public, or spreading God’s love through kind acts, we can inspire others to “praise his name” (v. 4). Worshiping God is more than a Sunday morning event.
Reflect & Pray
In what ways can you joyfully worship God throughout the day? When has someone else's worship led to your own?
Almighty God, please help me live to worship You with contagious joy and gratitude.
Good evening, radu...did your cold arrive?
Still COLD here, but maybe a little snow.
It's looking a bit brisk up there today. The fog yesterday and overnight left a HEAVY-duty coating of frost on the trees. Beautiful to look at but egads!
Thanks Kathy, what an incredible story.
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
All rested and ready to take on the new week?
It sure IS cold up in your neck o' da woods!! Checking out the Lake Hood cam has given me goosebumps. A cam op zoomed in on antenna with its crazy frost build-up. Just enough wind to make it build up on one side. Crazy sight.
Good evening, lightman...staying safe and trying to stand strong.
Very cold and foggy here...hope your snow plowing tractor is resting comfortably in its shed.
Howdy, PRO!
How goes it up your way? Have a good weekend? Spend some time with Robin and the silly pups?
Yes, my plowing tractor has settled in for a long winter’s nap.
And the ash spreader sat unused...again!
That is a VERY good thing!!!
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Yes, day off today. Must work the week now.
Thank You for the thread and your commitment to The Canteen!!
Hoar frost makes the naked winter trees sparkle, and they are beautiful. But it is cold! LOL! But it’s gotten up to 9 and may top out at 12. 😁
Not much else happening, some errands to run tomorrow.
Howz things with you?
It sure does make them sparkle. They’re gorgeous. Makes the whole place look like a magical fairyland.
That hoar frost built up QUICK! Before the fog moved in yesterday, the tree limbs were bare.
No one ever mentioned the temperature today in chat but it’s been obvious it’s frigid.
And there were still people out skiing in spite of it!!!!!! They gotta be outta their minds! LOL
