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

I received this from my aunt and it struck a chord with me.  I just thought I'd share it with you.

To realize
The value of a sister
Ask someone
Who doesn't have one.


To realize
The value of ten years:
Ask a newly
Divorced couple.

To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate.

To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who
Has failed a final exam.

To realize
The value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother
who has given birth to
A premature baby.

To realize
The value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realize
The value of one-second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident.

Time waits for no one.

Treasure every moment you have.

You will treasure it even more when
you can share it with someone special.

To realize the value of a friend or family member:
LOSE ONE.

The origin of this letter is unknown,
But it brings good luck to everyone who passes it on.
Remember...
Hold on tight to the ones you love!
Walking by faith means you see God's hand even in the most difficult of circumstances.

What a meaningful email, Carl.  I'm copying that and putting it in my Bible.  How very, very true each section is.

Thanks so much!

Thanks a lot, Carl.  This really means a lot to me, as well.  God bless.   :)

CHANGES

Time does not stand still
It never will
Changes it brings to us every day
Life is going on
Each day more is gone
And the hours of our existence ebbs away

You may change your employment
Be distressed or content
Get married with a husband or wife
Warm days turn to colder
Every year we get older
And the seasons pass like a summary of our life

We are dust returning to the sod
And to an unchanging God
Each one will have to give Him an account
Life changes to death
It stills forever breath
And to buy back time you can give no amount

Time that changes everything
Will not give you time to change anything
When God decides you have come to its end
No more time to change
Or try to arrange
Where the eternal home of your soul it will spend

Have you been changed?
Your life rearranged
Have you let Jesus come into your heart?
You will never be the same
If He came
And give your life a new start
