New Every Morning~March 1

Morning Devotional...


My time is not yet come.
John 7:6

Here is an expression that is characteristic of the Gospel of John. The life of the Lord Jesus was not a series of random events dictated by the whim of fate, or even by His own will, but a life controlled and directed by the will of the Father.

What a comfort to know that our lives can be similarly directed when the Lord is given control over all things.

It is important not only to do what He asks, but also to do it when He wants it to be done. Sometimes we can do the right thing at the wrong time, and the benefit can be lost.

May the Lord give us sensitivity to heaven's timing in our lives.
Wm. Burnett

Be patient and await His leisure
in cheerful hope, with heart content,
To take whate'er thy Father's pleasure
and His discerning love hath sent.

[Lee Kirkwood]

We once were all lost (sinners) but now are found (Saved).  All our works are as "Filthy rags."  There is nothing we can do to improve on His accomplished work of salvation.  We who are saved all have the Lord, and there is nothing we can do, or will ever do to change it.  We need nothing else, and it's Jesus Christ plus nothing.  In my quietness in prayer and worship, I am at one with the Lord, and the only thing left for me besides witnessing Him, is to wait for His calling me home.

Good night/morning all!

I hope all you have a wonderful Monday.

I want to know, is March first a lion or lamb at your residence?

[Lee Kirkwood]

Pat...........

In today's NEM you are off line.  I switch back to yesterday and you're on line.  Back to today and you're off line??

[Lee Kirkwood]

Karma..........

March 1st will be a "Lion," and the 31st will be a "Lamb."

[Maria]

U.K. 10 a.m.

Thankyou for the Devotional Pat.....
I always felt I  ended up doing the wrong thing from the right motive ..Now by the Grace of God I ask Him for wisdom before I act.  Especially in the "timing" dept.,

It is very important that we do not "Miss the Moment". It will not come again.
                         ................

We have a thick frost on the ground here this morning and it is so icy cold.

My cats are enjoying the cold snap because we have allotments nearby and there are plenty of field mice and rats....yes rats coming to look for food.  Today Pushkin brought me a present of a dead field mouse., yesterday I had a field mouse and a rat!!!  Last week Becky brought a field mouse and one of them managed to drag a huge rat to the window and leave it there for me...UGH!!  I have a special dustbin at the far end of the back garden for these "gifts" and for any "doings" of Sunday dog on our lawn. There is a strong liner bag in there and it is well disinfected for the Refuse men to take away regularly...it is not with the household rubbish.  I have a sep. bin for that in the entry.
I had never seen a rat until we came to live here, even my old cat where we previously lived did not bring any.  She was a terror for baby birds in Spring!!!

          Give me my dogs every time!

Well I must go I suppose to perform the burial ceremony  

Hallo Ria.I hope you are feeling better now. "Glimlachen  alsjeblieft!"  

Love to all.
Jenny.

[Ruth Ann Bice]

Good morning, friends,

It's very early here in Nashville and, Sonifo, while the weather is quite warm, we are to expect rain lasting for several hours. So, does this mean that our March lamb came riding in a canoe in Nashville?

Y'all have a good day.

Ruth Ann

[Maria]

[JudyB]

It is a Lamb here.  How I was wishing for a lion!  Well we take what we get and know there will be warm weather coming soon.  Just not soon enough.

Nards, can you imagine 10 eight to ten year olds singing that song at the top of their lungs?  It was wonderful to hear.

Ria I am glad your toe is feeling better. Have a good day.

Jenny Good morning sis, Stay warm, and let us know when the flowers bloom across the pond!

Well I need to get busy and wake the girls, Be bacl later.

Love Judy

[Jenny]

ha ha...

Hi Judy....  I have just sent some pics of my father's garden in Spring for Pat...now he has flowers...

Ruth Ann.  Nice to see you this morning..Hello dear.  Hope things are easier for you just now!

Jenny  

[Sarah]

hey ya'll nothing much here just stopping by before i leave for school today well ttyl sarah

[Al Moak]

Lamb?  Lion?  I don't know which it was.  It was sort of between.  A little sheepish and a little catty.  So I guess when we come to the end of this month it'll just go out, period.  Might even be that April will come then.

[Sonifo]

Good morning folks!

What a lovely day it is.  

I slept great.  1 more day till I get my camera.  

My egenda for the day:

Bills
laundry
Take out some red marker out of white carpet
Pull out the rainbow(vaccuum) and give the house a good cleaning.
Work out

Hope you all have a good day.

[Etta Sue]

We are having wet, mild weather here.  A soggy lamb???

I recorded on the History channel...Hollywood vs. History.  It was about biblical films...mostly Mel Gibsons film.  All of them had good things to say but should I have been surprised that the one that praised the movie the most was Joel Siegel, a Jewish movie critic??  The person that was a historian, doesn't think the Gospels are historically correct.    My view is 'What makes the difference?'  Faith makes you accept all of God's words as truth!

Jerry is going to feel lonesome when Bubba goes back to his house. this afternoon. Ivalou and I are going to see 'The Passion of the Christ' this afternoon.  My son and his family saw the movie last evening and he was speechless even though he called me afterwards.  I asked him how he liked it.  He said he was in shock just knowing how much God loves him.  But he also said he felt that the movie probably shows more of the true facts than other movies or stories and drawings.  Like the movie critic said....this movie lets you 'feel'!!!

I have come to conclusion that our prayer before seeing the movie included that we see and absorb this movie...maybe that was why I didn't tear up....God helped me to 'see' the movie with clear eyes.

[Janet]

Soni, if I don't put "work out" at the TOP of my agenda, I find I never get it done!  But of course, you are a couple years younger than me. (And no comments, Nards!)  

Darrel has been having the hiccoughs (hiccups) for an hour to an hour and a half at a time!  It just wears him out!  He was up a lot during the night, but now he thinks the worst is past and he is feeling a bit better.  Thank you for your prayers, Sonja and Ria, they are appreciated.

I had my nice swim, now I must find something to eat and get ready to go to the dentist for my twice yearly cleaning.  So next time you see me, my smile will be all polished. See??

I worked several hours Saturday on Mark's album, then took it to Diane's yesterday to have her help me decide if some of the photos were Mark, or were they Curtis?  When they were small, we didn't think they looked at all alike, but now........hard to tell which is which.  Any of you ever run into that?

The Passion is staying in my mind---very much.

I must go, be back later.

[Marilyn]

Good Morning JudyB, Ria, Soni, Pat, Al, Jenny, Janet and Etta Sue. It is raining here no wind just rain. Is that  like Nashville, a lamb in a canoe maybe a kayak. haha

I am still  very much quietly subdued after last nights service. In fact my mind isn't  working yet beyond that service. I woke up with the worsip songs still fresh in my thoughts. So I will be back later.

ps I need to do my "workout first thing in the morning then again in the evening,. ( the excersises that the chiropractor gave me.)

[Maria]

JudyB thank you i have been to the doctor this afternoon and the big bandage is away.
Now i have i don't no how you call that a sticking plaster or a band-aid booth words are staying in my dictionary. BUT I CAN NOW HAVE ON SHOES and that is making ne happy because this afternoon it is raining in Holland when i now go on summershoes that is so wet. How is the weather in North i wish you also a good day.

I wish you all a good day in Holland it is now afternoon
4.55PM
Bye love Ria

[JudyB]

Have a good day!

U.K. 10 a.m.

I had never seen a rat until we came to live here, even my old cat where we previously lived did not bring any.  She was a terror for baby birds in Spring!!!

          Give me my dogs every time!

Jenny...Re the cats...It's just their nature.  Please don't be angry with them!  I'll still take my cats over dogs.  But then I guess we all have our preferences!

[Sonifo]

I prefer stuffed animals and kids.  No Pets here.  

[Jenny]

4.50 p.m.

Oh dear lost my post...

Oh Pinkie I do love the pussy cats..I have two now and we lost one 12 year old a few years ago., can't help it if I'm a doggie person...
I used to have "legs" and loved walking my dog for miles every day. My dogs are so clever...cats are only clever when it comes to food!!!

Soni Yes stick with children and cleaning felt tips up from the carpet!!...ha ha!!!  I have lots of soft animals too and I am making some.

I ventured out this afternoon.  It looked lovely outside....Oh dear, it wasn't very wise of me.  My little Rascal and I went down the hill at the side of my home to the Police station...fine...then round the corner to come up the hill at the back of our home...sun was shining, all was well.....then....Suddenly, Jenny got colder and colder....brrr...brrr....
By the grace of God I am home now and 2 cups of tea later and a warm up by the fire and I am O.K.

"Wisdom is proved right by all of her children"..O.K. Lord!...We live and learn folks!

I have fed the cats and so far no dead mice waiting for me., however if this cold snap continues it doesn't bode well for the little darlings and their bigger cousins the rats...Watch out, Pushkin's about...also little Becky cat!

Well I have enjoyed my little visit with you all this afternoon.

t.t.f.n.

[Mullet]

Good Morning everyone!

Ms.JudyB. I'm doing well. School is going good. I'm in 7th grade.

[pinkie]

Good morning all!  I just learned how to put frames on my pictures and posted a few new pics in the photo section.  Please stop by and take a look see!  
Thanks!
Does anybody know how to re-train a cat to use the litter box?  I keep the litter clean but one of my 2 cats still leaves me a little heap every morning - outside the box.  I have spanked, and pushed nose into the mess (but then it's harder to clean up after that, so I don't do that often)  Then I feel bad afterwards, but what's a person to do to try and RE-train a cat???  He used to use the box fine!  Any suggestions?
Shalom.

[Sonifo]

Wow, couldn't tell ya, Pinkie.

Maybe get a dome for the box and lock him in there.  hehehe...joking.  Hope you figure something out.

[Lee Kirkwood]

Pinkie...........

Your problem is the "Litter."  Change the kind you use.  Change to more sandy and less granular.

Karma........

March is known for "Coming in like a lion, and going out like a lamb."  This is why I said March 1 (Lion) and March 31 (Lamb).

Janet.........

Hiccoughs (hiccups) is a chemical reaction in the body.  Attack it with a chemical action.  One teaspoon of sugar, and let it disolve for a few seconds.  The hiccoughs (hiccups) disappear immediately.

[Mullet]

what do you mean by lion and lamb. does it have something to do with weather oror time.

Zachery

[Pat]

Well, I'm not sure if I've posted in here yet today!

It's great to be able to read all these posts.

Lee, not sure what was going on with the "offline" "online" stuff last night.  One thing to remember is that once you leave CP and go offline, your name will remain for at least 15 minutes at the bottom of the page showing you online.  It's something I can't change.  So sometimes it looks as if someone is online when maybe they left 15 minutes ago.

Also, Lee, your remedy for hiccups for Janet...  How about putting that down in our Tips area so that it will be there long after this New Every Morning is closed.  That's a great tip!  I remember my poor father when he had serious back surgery, got the hiccups in the hospital and had them for hours and hours on end and his whole abdomen felt bruised from the constant motion of the hiccups.  Nothing they could do would get rid of them for poor Dad.  I'd just sit there and hold his poor hand.


Great to see you Ruth Ann...  I've been remembering you in prayer.  Keep popping in when you can.

Janet, glad you had your swim.  Does the pool have lots of chlorine in it?  The pool near to where I live has so much in it that my swim isn't enjoyable.

Phone's ringing...  I'll be back.

[karmat]

Lee, That's what I was referring to.  I've always heard that if it comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb, and if it comes in like a lamb, it will go out like a lion.  Definitely lambish here today.

Jenny -- I read somewhere why cats do that.  In their eyes, you are the Alpha cat, and they are just trying to help you provide for the family.   .

Pinkie, I would agree with Lee about maybe changing the litter.  Also, didn't you recently move?  That may have disrupted the "schedule" a bit and the cat doesn't feel like the box is in the right place.  Maybe try it somewhere else??

Ahh, the discussions we have!!

I've had the hiccups today too.  More annoying than anything.  Is 3/1 nat'l hiccup day or something.  I think mine are gone for now.

I'll be back later.  At work and need to do some paperwork!!

Hey Karmat!

Hey everybody else!

Have a great day.  I might get in here later, don't know.
