Ms Jenny,
"Suffer the little children to come unto Me for of such is the kingdom of Heaven"
What does it mean?

I carry with me much pain from a children of a nother time. I pray he is at peace today. I am glad he did have a family to love him. I will pray for them too.

Mieka, I believe Jesus said that to his disciples when they were trying to keep the little children from "bothering" Jesus.  He wanted them near Him.  I also the he compares it to the kingdom of God because children are so trusting and forgiving.  They don't nitpick details.  They are innocent and loving.  

Likewise, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could also be as little children, trusting Jesus as it seems only they can?

At least, that is my take on it.  Take little Ryan.  He seemed to be missing so much, but in reality, he was probably happy with the little things and enjoyed the love he received.  How many of us are happy with little things and just having love.

Gotta go fix supper.  Take care!

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye!
Marilyn has informed me so that I might inform you: she has taken her computer into the shop, and she probably will not have it back before the end of the day today.  She says she feels utterly lost without it because she misses all of you!

Mieka, your question came from Matthew 19:14.  I like to read other Bible versions to find answers.

Matthew 19:13-15 in CEV reads...

Jesus Blesses Little Children
Some people brought their children to Jesus, so that he could place his hands on them and pray for them.  His disciples told the people to stop bothering him.  But Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and don't try to stop them!  People who are like these children belong to God's kingdom."  After Jesus had placed his hands on the children, he left.

Karma is right.  Wouldn't it be great to be innocent as a child and believe so easily?

I am praying for Papa John for a full recovery.  Get plenty of doctoring and come back to us soon.

Jerry and I had a terrific lunch today....does it seem that food is our main focus?  His town is full of little craft shops, antique shops, specialty shops, little restaurants.  We went to the drug store and this little restaurant called 'Crescent Moon' was next door.  It had the New Orleans Mardi Gras theme...beads, purples, gold, Mardi Gras posters...really neat.  It is only open 3 hours for lunch.  Then it closes about 3 hours and opens again for 3 hours for the evening meals.  Mostly sandwiches were on the menu for lunch.  Both of us ordered a Giant Breaded Tenderloin.  All sandwiches comes with fries.  They were right....GIANT!!!  Bigger than a luncheon plate.  But great!  The best Breaded Tenderloin I have ever eaten.  They bread them themselves...not frozen.  But they were sure messy.  That's why they were sooooo good!!!

Going to go but I am praying that all your cares and woes are given to God.  He can solve anything!!!!

Hi Ms Etta Sue   I have a puzzle today why you do not have a special message today at the bottom?   I do not know what to do now  

I Know, I will share one for you , OK?

Snowmen fall from Heaven unassembled.

Oh Mieka, that is cute!  Thanks to all for the lovely Birthday Wishes.  They do mean a lot and my day has been busy and pleasant.  Wendy came and took me out for lunch and Al is coming in a few minutes to take me out for dinner.  Will be well stuffed!

Not keen on having another birthday...so far over the hill  that I'm almost at the bottom...

Will continue to pray for Papa John & Cornelia.  Also for all the others on my list.  How wonderful that we can pray for each others needs.  It is a great comfort to this person.  Surely, Goodness & Mercy dwells on this site.  God Bless, Liz.

Papa John and Corneila, you remain in my heart and prayers.   Having been in your shoes 12 years ago, I know what a struggle this is for you.  Just remember, one day at a time because....

"This is the day which the Lord hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it" Psalm 118:24

And we know that he never gives us more than we can handle.

Hi to everyone here with me now.

Carol, Mieka, Janet, Diana_g, Al Moak, Ruth Ann Bice

Hi Sue!  Glad to see that you are online at this same time, too.

I came in to thank Pat Scott for the lovely Goodness and Mercy message.  What a wonderful thought for each and every day of our lives.

Thinking goodness and mercy for Papa John!

I am on the laptop and CP is working wonderfully for me.  We have the regular desk computer in the shop and went to pick it up - it is lost and they are mystified.  Don told the repair people that they have 24 hours to find it - private info on it makes us very nervous.  Sounds like a threat at the O.K. Corral, doesn't it?  How can they possibly lose our entire computer?  

Thinking of all of you.  Carol

Just popping in on my way to bed.

Mieka, I love that unassembled snowman thing.  THAT I will remember.

Good night all.

Let's remember to say special prayers for Papa John and Cornelia tonight.  May they have rest and peace and comfort.

Well, another day has come to an end.  I'm really late in getting here but so many things I've done today.  Tonight I was at a meeting and got home rather late.

Now, this door will be locked and I hope that many will post to welcome our friends across the pond as they get up in the morning.
