Christian Photographers Community

Lee, you're right, and I never meant I would attempt to love those who are out to destroy all I hold dear the way I love family and friends.  But I haven't been willing to even "love" them enough to pray for them...........and I know we should.  That's all I meant.  

I just downloaded and compressed and uploaded my photos from last week, so will post some now.

Etta Sue, how I would love to see that pageant!  WOW!

Beth feels last week didn't do her any good at all.  I think it needs more time.  Of course I am always the optimist!

I am going to post a few photos now!

You are right Pat that is a good way to study as well.  The problem I face is I get hung up with words and their meaning, relevance and where elst they occur in scripture.  It is a frustrating habit, but I really enjoy discovering new scripture (to me) as I go.

Pat is so right Chris that is so sweet.  Remember planting in the back garden Pat?

Etta Sue, I am going back to read what you have written, I am taking a 5 min break, and supper is sitting on the table.

I haven't seen a robin yet either, we have too much snow for robins.

Ruth you have a week off.  What about coming up for a visit?

Well I am off running, Taking Joohn to work, Melaura to Cadets,  and a visit to Mother.

Bye for now,
Blessings JudyB

Very lovely photo Chris from the little bird


SUNDAY  in the church our pastor has hold a sermon
about  LOVE YOUR ENEMY SO I LOVE YOU
but then i think also how far must we go with love our enemy  but can we also love the persons who are doing
the great attacks that is very difficult as we are thinking on all the death people first in septembre in America now in Spain.  Who can give me answer on that problem  Love your Enemy  i can forgiven a lot people who have done something but that are little things  Since Sunday i am thinking about the words from our pastor Love you enemy so i love you
I have try to call our pastor but he has no time.
BUT HOW FAR MUST WE GO WITH FORGIVE YOUR ENEMY WHO CAN HELP ME WITH
THIS FOR ME A PROBLEM  the hole days since sunday
i am thinking on this and i am not coming out this.

Pat thank you for the nice hymn  JESUS LOVE ME that is what i believe.

JUDYB thank you very much for your goedemorgen allemaal  that was a surprise for me

I LOVE YOU ALL
Ria  

Thanks John...   That's what she told me.  That it was east of Danville.


I'm praying, Chris...

Ria, I find it interesting that you and I are both struggling with the same problem today, about how to "love our enemies!"  I think the Lord wants us to pray that their eyes will be opened to the truth and they will accept Jesus as Saviour.  I know He is not willing that ANY should perish, but that all come to the knowledge of the truth.  Maybe someone else can explain it better than I.

 When I went to post my photos, I found I had skipped a step and some were way too big.  I just took that as a sign I wasn't supposed to post them.  Ha!  (No lectures, please, Pat!  

The ones I did post are in Photos Here, under Midland, Texas Photos, and then there are two new paintings in Creations With a Brush.  Hope you have time to look!  ESPECIALLY YOU, SONI!

Pat, I do appreciate the prayers of CP for me when I was sick.  It was prayers which brought me through.  At one point I think the doctors had given up but they kept on and I did survive when odds were against me.  The Elders of our church came to the hospital and prayed over me and many others.  Cornelia told me of a lady whose husband was also in Critical Care and she saw them gather around holding hands and praying.  She told Cornelia she wished she had people who would pray for her husband.  Of course Cornelia had them gather around again to pray for her husband.

What should be our attitude toward our enemies? [/b]

Matt 5:43-46
43   "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44   But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45   that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46   If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?  (NIV)

Rom 5:8-10
8   But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9   Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
10   For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!  (NIV)

We need to listen to what the Bible says and then follow it the best we can.

Are you ready for yet another weather report from northeastern New York?  Well ready or not, here it is!

There's a winter storm warning in effect for late tomorrow and into Wednesday!  They're only predicting from 6 to 10 inches, but say it will accumulate at a rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour tomorrow night.

I hope the robins haven't got here yet - they'll have a tough time finding food.    The red-winged blackbirds are back, but they'll be OK since they take advantage of the feeders.

Pat,  I was also taught another verse to the song "Jesus Loves Me" and I think it would be good to post the words here:

Jesus loves me when I'm good,
When I do the things I should,
Jesus loves me when I'm bad,
Even though it makes him sad.

I think often of those words. I know that if I am a distance away from Him, it's that I left Him, He did not leave me nor forsake me.

I got good news today. Although I've been very thankful to have Ralph for my boss these last 2 years (he's very supportive - a wonderful man), because of a company reorganization his supervision of me became impractical.

So, I was assigned Jim as my supervisor - a long time associate, coworker and friend. A fine Christian who prays both for me and with me. And his first "order" to his new employee??? You have carryover vacation time - be certain you take it before March 31st, please.

In fact, it was Jim who made it possible for the Cleveland office to set up the new job for me just as the old one was ending.

How thankful I am for the good supervisors I've had lately. Ralph's parting "gift" was an excellent appraisal that resulted in a nice raise.

And, Jim encouraged me to go to Ralph with IS-type questions, since he once supervised a 200-employee IS unit at a different job.

So, I not only have a wonderful supervisor now, but I still get to keep my association with Ralph, too. How blessed I am.

Janet, persevere with those photos.  Just because you forgot a step doesn't mean that you aren't to post them.  I forget steps all the time!  I just start over and everyone enjoys seeing them.  I haven't got to yours yet.  I've had to run some unexpected errands today and in the middle of it, my Avon order arrived and it's all over the living room and so I'm going to try to get some of it packed tonight.


Ruth Ann, what a lovely message to read from you.  It's so good as Christians to know that even before we ask, the Lord looks after our needs and He sure did for you.  Praise His Name!

I like that verse to Jesus Loves Me.  I'll add it to our file.

Papa John:

Matt  11: 28 - 30  It was not so very long ago that my Aunt said that as a little girl going to Sunday School and being a farmers kid she thought that the verse made reference the yoke of an animal, but of course to-day she does know the true meaning.

Ruth Ann:
The extra verse to Jesus Loves Me rang a bell as I remember hearing it as a little one at home. That is a lot of years ago.

Hi Everyone...I have just returned from a banquet that will kick off an EE seminar for Pastors.  Pastors arrive from different parts of the States and Canada to learn the EE presentation in 5 days.  It is very intense because ordinarily it would take 13 weeks and they have to learn it in 5 days.    I am taking off 2 days from work to be involved.   My job was to line up trainers to do demonstations for the Pastors.   I will do one demonstration myself on Wednesday.   There is food and lodgings and lots of teaching.

Tonight we heard from a Chinese girl who was telling us that EE is in China.   It is all done secretely in like underground situations because there would be punishment if anyone found out they were giving the gospel to anyone.  We also heard from a Chinese Pastor in Toronto who is so excited about EE because it has made him bold for the Lord.

Janet, I heard someone talk about liquid shark cartilige that cured cancer.   Apparently it surrounds the tumor so it is contained.   It is very expensive and the lady who came into my work said it came from Quebec.    Wondering whether it might help Beth.

Well off to bed.   Goodnight.

Love Ruthie

Wow, it is so early.  I am off to bed.

night all!

Good evening.

This has been a profitable day.  I got a lot done.

Ria You were up late tonight!  Trouble sleeping?  I pray the Shepherd gives you rest.

Tonight we stopped at a grocery store so that John could pick up some supplies for the road.  As I waited I realized the post office next door was open where I could get an envelope weighed and nail.  So I stepped out of the car onto a patch of ice and promptly fell flat on my back, knocking my head a good one.  WOW it went so fast that I could not stop the fall at all.  I am now sore and stiff, with a sore hip.  I can just imagine what tomorrow is going to be like!

Well I am heading for bed.  See if I can relax some of these muscles.

Have a good Night all
JudyB

Sorry to hear about your fall Judy.   Hope you are not to sore tomorrow.    When I fell on the ice it took a long time to heal.

God Bles

Ruthie

Good night everyone!

Mr.Chris. What is wrong with Fank? I will pray for him!

Ms.Pat. That would be funny!

Ms.Jeane Lee. That is so Funny! We have Black birds here with blue heads and they eat everything!
I will pray you do not get much snow! We do not want to have anyone hurt!

Ms.Judy, You are in my prayers also.
