Jeremiah 17:7-8 says...

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Romans 8:28 says...

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Morning Devotional...


My times are in Thy hand.
Psalm 31:15

"The affairs of my entire lifetime are in your hands," is a literal Chinese translation of this verse.

Truly the only place of eternal security is in the hand of the Good Shepherd, who gave His life for the sheep.

With sins forgiven and the peace of God in ones heart, there is courage to face the day today and no need to fear death at the end of our journey.

The tender hand of the Lord Jesus will deliver all His own safely to the Father's Home.
--E. MacLelland






 

Yaaay!!!! Our internet connection is good again! 

Hello, gang.

Well, that's good news, Nards.

Just a quick check-in tonight from our hotel in Denver.  We had a nice flight but then had a time finding our hotel.  We finally got here and then went out to eat.  Came back and have been working for the last hour or so trying to get this wireless system to work.  Initially the desk clerk gave me an incorrect access code but just now was able to get online.  Remains to be seen how will this wireless works in a hotel.

I haven't read any postings for today and am too tired to do so tonight so will sign off for now.  I will try to check in tomorrow morning.

Great to hear from you, Larry!

Enjoy your time away.

WEll woohoo Bonnie has moved into her new (to her) townhouse!  It is a nice place for her.

The weather has been beautiful this week, my garden is coming up nicely.  I will have to do some weeding soon though.  We are getting enough rain to keep the ground moist but not so much that it would flood it.

Mom had a wonderful time this week with company.  It is so nice that the folks were able to drive up to see her.

Well it is late and I am going to wind down an go to bed.

Night all
Judy

MATTHEW 7 : 2 NIV
For in the same way you judge others,
you will be judged, and with the measure
you use, it will be measured to you.

Jesus is concerned that we not
have a critical spirit toward others,
especially about their motives as to
why they did something.
We can't assume to know another
person heart; only God can.
When we are unfairly critical,
overly harsh, or unduly judgmental,
we need to remember that God will
use that same standard on us.
I don't know about you, but i need grace.
So do those i love.
I'm going to try very hard to be as
gracious toward others as i'm trusting that
God is going to be gracious with me.

PRAYER...
Forgive me, Abba Father,
for the times that i,ve been
far more critical of others
than i should be.
Arouse within me a passion
to be gracious toward others
so that they can see Your
graciousness shining through me.
In Jesus name i pray. AMEN.

Alma, I hope your birthday is wonderful. Each time a birthday rolls around, I feel I've been given the gift of a whole new life in front of me to live with and for my Lord. I wonder what's going to "come down my pike" and how He and I will handle it together.

Well, Judy, it's good to hear from you - y'all take care of yourselves.

And, Nards, I have experienced problems with my phone. In my instance, it was because I have lived in this house for almost 40 years and I couldn't get the phone folks to believe that the phone was cutting in and out. Seems my problem was that the wire had (I guess) kind of dry rotted and was sometimes making good contact and sometimes not.

Well, hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Ruth Ann

I want to appologize for not telling everyone that I went on a trip with my hubby to Florida... I haven't been on line for weeks....


Thank you so much for the birthday wishes back on the 17th
and the cake

.....at the moment I'm getting ready to take the kids for a 2 week camping trip to Colorado... packing for 7 people is very time consuming

God bless

Happy Birthday ALMA 

[/size][/b][/color]

Alma - I don't sing so well, so I'll just say it big:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!![/color]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALMA!!

Hayley, it sure is good to see you again!  Have fun camping!  I know summers are busy for nearly everyone, and especially for those with kids still at home.  So just pop in when you can, and also, let us see more of your lovely artwork!

Ria, I sure will be thinking of you (and missing you) while you are offline.  I so enjoy your posts---you always have something good to say, and encourage us, even when you feel depressed yourself.  God bless you, dear one!

Larry, thank you for taking the time and trouble to stop in and say hello while you are on vacation.  We appreciate it---and you! 

Hey, Ruth Ann!  Good to read your post today, too.  You are always a ray of sunshine.

We have sunshine today, and a really lovely day.  But they are warning us the HOT weather is coming back.    It surely was nice while it lasted, though!

I have lots of cleaning to do, and it isn't doing itself, so........

Hello Hayley!  Colorado is a beautiful place.  One of my favorite place to go on vacation.  Have fun with those kiddo's.

Happy Birthday, Alma!!!

I am off to take the kids swimming.  We got rained out the other day.  I don't see a cloud in the sky so I think we are safe.

Have a good day.
Soni

I got a call this morning.  A friend wanted to know if I had had breakfast yet.  So I went out for breakfast with her.  It is great to visit with friends.  Sure wish she still didn't work so we would have more time to spend together.

This afternoon Ivalou, and two friends are going to Conner Prairie to the 'Symphony on the Prairie'.  We are taking lawn chairs and a picnic.  Then at 6 p.m. is the symphony concert.  At dark, is fireworks.  Last year it rained us out.  We were going tomorrow but it is predicting rain.  Like Sonja, there isn't a cloud in the sky today. 

I am hoping to get caught up on here so I can go out and wash the car!  WooHee!!!

Happy Birthday, Alma!!!

Great to see JudyB online.  Think of you daily, sister!!!

Ya'll don't have clouds in the sky 'cause they are all here!

Some wild beast tore into Travis's little plastic inflatable swimming pool last night.  Perhaps a raccoon, or bear, or mountain lion, or tiger, or shark, or something.  hahaha.  Probably just a dog.  Not sure why they did it, though.  between snakes on the front porch and critters on the back, I'm not sure I want to go outside right now!

Glad to see you Hayley.  Didn't want to bug you , but it is good to see you back!

Laters all!

Ria, you are going to be missed on CP but I know that you will be so happy to get the laminate finished.

We'll "keep the home fires burning" till you are able to post again.  Just don't stay away too long as everyone misses you so much.

I really enjoyed your little devotional today.

Hi Everyone


Sonya   I love Colorado too. Especially in the Mountains west of Denver. Such a lovly place

Our refrigerator died on us 2 days ago. I spent a good part of the day getting the new one in our house.  We had to tke both doors of the side by side off get the refrigerator in the house and reassembled it.  Of courde the new refrigeratoe required different fittings for thw ice maker so I had to run out to the hardware store. All is fine now/ But I still have to work for half a day
got to run

May God Bless

OOOOOOPs I forgot-Happy Birthday to everyone that is having a birthday-Happy Birthday today to Alma..Courtneys was yesterday-been a busy month for birthdays lol.
Rachelle

I'm a day late.......but as I read that Canada celebrated its National Day and saw the anthem that Pat had posted I found myself singing and singing it as if it were my own.

A belated HAPPY CANADA DAY  to all of you who make her your home.

Me, what does the anthem mean to me, after all I'm not Canadian?

When the gentleman that I took care of for seven years was becoming more feeble bodied but still was with a fairly keen mind I accompanied him every week to his Kiwanis meeting and there in honor of all the Canadian fellow Kiwanis across the border the Canadian anthem was sung along with the American.
"My" gentleman was the lead singer.  As I stood with him, holding his arm to support him, we both became the lead singers starting the song as all joined in, the song that I'm now so familiar with.

Thanks, it also brought back tender thoughts of the gentleman, his fellow Kiwanis and of that big land just north of us. Then........:-)
So, although I'm here in England now, I wish you all a belated Happy Canada Day and I know that I will always fondly be joining in when your anthem is raised.

God bless.

Margit

And more belated wishes...


HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY IAIN - HOPE YOU'LL FIND ALL THE WELL WISHES HEREand

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALMA
Many happy returns!!!


Margit and Chris too.

Rachelle, it's great to see you!  You've really been missed.

I'm sorry though to read about Shawnee's hospital stay.  PLEASE keep us posted on that.

Hope you changed your email in your Profile.

Awwwwwwww....  Margit, that's so touching.  I'm going to delete the music soon as it's such a massive file but I thought it was about the best rendition on the net that I could find of our National Anthem.

Thanks again.  That was so sweet.

This is an old hymn with very good words.
