I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts after attending the bible study tonight.

Janet, I love the scripture that you quoted from Luke and the message that went with it.  There is another verse in Jeremiah that says something like, "I am the Lord, is there anything too hard for me?"  It is good to be reminded of these things as we pray for our countries and their leaders.

Pat, that sounds like a nasty night that you had last night.  If it's any comfort, the Lord doesn't get any sleep either (He never slumbers nor sleeps) so you are in good company anyway    Thank you for asking about my health.  I am enjoying good health these days and I have a job now in a small office - Praise the Lord.

Etta Sue, I see that  your Paint Shop Pro skills are coming on in leaps and bounds.  Those are good graphics to welcome people to the site.  Those are good rules for a stress-free life.  Thank you for giving them to us. (I couldn't believe when I read the weather conditions you are experiencing - I hope  you manage to get to see Jerry).

Hello Marilyn, it's good to renew fellowship with you sister and thank you for your post.  Thank you too for asking about my mother - she is good some days and not so good the others.  I guess age has its effects on us all.  As for me, I don't tend to get headaches any more.  I am very thankful for the help that the Lord has given  over the past weeks.  Thank you for your concern.  And how about you, are you moved closer to your son now, or are you still where you were before?

Karmat, that sounds like a nasty thing to happen to your computer.  I do trust that all will go well and that you are able to use it soon.  I am sorry to hear about the young one, he seems to have his fair share of feeling ill.  I pray that his condition will improve shortly.

Meika, I have started work on the best post I ever did.  If I keep progressing with it you should get it before Christmas  As for pronouncing your name - I think I will pronounce it Meeks, because I think that you have a meek spirit  

Jane, I am so sorry to hear about your pastor.  I agree with what you said about being glad that God is God and not us - He is surely still on the throne in this situation.

Jenny, it's so good to see you today.  How are you?  Thank you for your prayer regarding Pastor Bev.

Carol, thank you for your comments.  It's good to be able to renew fellowship on here.  And it's good to hear from you sister.

Hello Mercychild, it's so good to see you today.  I hope you have a good day today.

I am just going to bed soon as I feel tired today for some reason.  God bless you all and I look forward to meeting you tomorrow.

Anthony.

Anthony:
Yes I am now closer to my son. In fact I am next door to him. He went to the desert and helped move me to the Northern coast of California, It took us 17 hours of driving to get here. So I am happily settled in to a new place, new church and new jobs.  I moved here July 12.Thank you for asking.

Good afternoon to everyone! I am so late geting here today,but I'm glad now that I was! Pat, Jenny and Iain, your messages brought joy to my heart! I am so glad that God is good all the time, and that He is always in control! Thanks for your prayers for Gary, my husband; he was able to go back to work today. My friend, Mieka, I like your name as Meeka, too! Ria, I am praying for you; I have osteoporosis, but the doctors can help--get all the calcium you can! Marilyn, you have been in my thoughts today; I pray all i ]s going well with you. Hi,Anthony, nice to meet you! Etta Sue, us folks in Illinois got alot of rain, too, but nothing like what you got! I'm so glad that you are safe! I wish Gods' blessings on all of you!
Love in Him,

Well we have had a nice day here today.  Joan and Truett arrived around 11:00.  We went out to dinner and then visited around some here.  We went out to the source of the Chattahoochie  River and drove up into the Unicoi State Park.  We also stopped at some of the shops here in Helen.

The weather has been good but a little hot.

Jane, prayers continue for dear Bev.  And for you, as I know how much she means to you.  I certainly am glad God is God, too!

It sounds as if everyone has had a good day today.  I spent the whole day going through photos and sorting them.  I will be so glad when I get this chore done; and give each of my siblings their own box to do with whatever they choose!  My Mom sure had plenty of photos!  

I'll see you all later.......like tomorrow, probably.

I'm so thankful to be able to read the messages today. As usual, if I lurk, it's probably that either I cannot read NEM at all because of my graphics problem, or that I am lurking at work and cannot post (or should not, at least).

Y'all have a good evening.

Hi, again! A friend sent this to me, and I wanted to share it with all of you:
Whatever your trial: God sees
Whatever your struggle: God knows
Whatever your cry: God hears
Whatever your difficulty: God cares
Whatever your problem: God understands
Whatever your need: God provides
That is by Roy Lessin. I think it is so appropriate with all the posts of today.
Love in Him,
Cami

Wonderful devotionals today, as usual.  And once again a "choke-up" hymn.  

I do believe summer is over in this little part of the world.  A top temperature of 72 today and rain off and on all day, very heavy at times.   Of course I could be wrong and we'll get more hot humid days...  I've been known to be wrong before - at least once or twice in my 70+ years.

Dear Etta Sue:

Thank you so much for giving that list about reducing stress.  If we all did those things, life would be wonderful.  I am going to print out the list so I can remind myself of each point.

Thank you Pat for the devotional this morning.  I'm just getting around to reading it at 8:45 p.m.  So busy.

Enjoyed reading everyones posts.  Thank you

Ruthie

Hi Pat:

Thank you for that lovely song "Till the Storm Passes By"  I enjoyed singing it a few times while I read some more posts.

Ruthie

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the team, Ruthie!  It's nice to hear that as sometimes I just don't know!  

Hi folks.

This has again been a busy day.  Had to drive Megan to work, and then hang around till it was time to pick up John.  

We have to go to Toronto Western Hospital tomorrow.  I have an eye problem, and need to have it seen to by a laser surgeon.  I have been having a problem with my right eye, and expect to have it dealt with tomorrow.  The Doctor is Jewish, and really interesting to talk to.  He has a wall hanging in the office written in Hebrew, that says "Blessed is the Healer."  When I asked what it meant he told me that only god is the healer, but God uses the hands of the surgeon to heal.  Very interesting.

Pat how bout the hymn "I Am the Lord that Healeth Thee." ?  It is one of my favourites.

Got to go,  won't be on for a few days.  Love to all

Good evening to all.  Thank you for the devotional and I also loved the hymn.  Always feel stronger after singing along...

This was again a very hot day and I stayed home.  Not feeling great today.  Coming here certainly helps to make life seem a whole bunch better!

I read a nice little poem today and will try to post it.  Have trouble with ending the lines so they don't all run together???

It is only a tiny rosebud

A flower of God's design;

But I cannot unfold the petals

With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers

Is not known to such as I.

God opens this flower so sweetly,

Then, in my hands, they die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,

The flower of God's design,

Then how can I have the wisdom

To unfold this life of mine?

So, I'll trust in Him for leading

Each moment of my day.

I will look to Him for His guidance

Each step of the Pilgrim's way.

The pathway that lies before me

Only my Heavenly Father knows.

I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,

Just as He unfolds the rose.

Hard to understand why Etta Sue and others are suffering from too much rain, while we are suffering with too little!    Not that I am personally suffering.  Many in BC have lost their homes and work....Sometimes it really is hard to understand what God is doing.  Will people pay attention?

Have a nice evening and God Bless.  Liz

I'm here, for now.    The defrag and scan disk, plus Bernard pushing a few of the right buttons (I have no idea which ones) seeme to have worked.  So, I am going to try and get caught up on everything before it crashes again.  How's that for faith?  ahahahahah.  I have faith in God, not computers.  

Travis seems to be doing some better.  Yes, Anthony, he has had his fair (or unfair, from a mother's point of view) share of illness.  Fortunately, it is all related to the asthma stuff, so I am learning how to deal with it quickly and effectively.  The doctor today felt like he would probably grow out of it, and that it was probably due to allergies.  

I really like the song you posted yesterday (??).  The one about the garden.  

hmmmm, had more to say and forgot it.  How old do you have to be to have a senior moment??

Take care,
kamrat

Let's keep Jane and her pastor Ron and his dear wife in our prayers tonight.  It's so sad to say "Farewell" but it's wonderful to say, "See you in the morning!"

Let's all post in the new topic...  CLICK HERE[/b].
