Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Carol: My husband Don is with the angels.....Our family was able to hold  ourselves together for the last moments.  Juar rhoufhr you might want to know. 2022-04-29, 23:35:15

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

                   GEMS

When God wants to make rubies, sapphires,  diamonds, topaz, He first of all puts His raw material into His compressor.

Heat and pressure and some very basic materials are all that are required, plus time.  But oh,........... the finished product!

Have you ever seen diamonds?  Real Ones? Big Ones? ................
If you have, the glow and sparkle and intricate patterns of light and shade and colour are something you will never forget.

What God does with inert grey matter is just what is done with grey human lives.  

First of all He puts them on  the HOT SPOT. Then He puts them under pressure...........Then He LEAVES THEM THERE.  Maybe, though in reality the Great Alchemist is never far away.

When God wants to do something wonderful He starts with a difficulty.  When God wants to do something VERY wonderful, He begins with an impossibility.

                          ---------------
                     
Dear Ones may I share the above with you all.  A wonderful old lady passed these words to me .  She was a great Christian, born with a disability........The Lord didn't heal her in this world but she gave so much to others, that His purpose was worked out through her life.....

Thank you Jenny for sharing this with us. You are a special friend and very much in touch with our Lord.
