Hey Nards!  I got to ask this, do you help with dishes after the thanksgiving meal or do you watch football?  

At Karma's Mom's, I'm a pretty useless dog in that I eat and then do as little as possible...  Of course, her Mom doesn't let anybody help with the dishes, so I'm not sure if I'm a dirty dog or not...

At my Mom and Dad's, I usually weasel out of it somehow, too, but I sometimes help beforehand.  Not sure.  I guess I need to work on that...

Hi folks, church was very good as usual yesterday, we have a wonderful Pastor, a great preacher, he stated yesterday that "there will be no soft pedalling of sin while I'm Pastor!" lol.
We have just finished studying the book of James, a very good study.
We are saved by grace not good works, but we are saved FOR good works.
A person can be as super -spiritual as he likes,
but if his faith doesn't cause him to give, and give and give again, then his faith is a vain thing.
We are all saved to serve God and one another.
"It is far more blessed to give than to receive" amen.

You do your share Nards.
You eat what's put before you, and praise God for it. lol

Sonja, YES, I got way too much to eat!  I don't think I have ever seen that many kinds of pie for one occasion before, at least at a home!  Maybe at a benefit supper or something......anyway, I am guilty, because I tried to make one of everyone's favorite kind!  I made sour cream raisin, custard, pumpkin, coconut cream, chocolate and lemon.  Then my sister also had pecan, pumpkin, lemon, banana cream.  Oh, my!  I think everyone ate themselves silly.  But it was wonderful to be with family we don't get to see often.

Bernard, my niece's husband got right in there and washed dishes!  He is so tall, he was standing with his feet about three feet apart so he didn't have to lean over so far to reach the sink.  Great guy!

We got Cookie back home, now I need to get the clothes out of the dryer and put more in.  Always laundry to do after a trip!

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise:  be thankful unto Him and bless His name.  Psalm 100:4

Well I finally got my laundry done except the 2nd load need  to finish drying whikle I am gone to work. Which I will be doing in just a short while.

I got the computer doing what it is supposed to be doing and noticed that all the print on the screen is back to being the right size and color. Don't know what I did to make it correct itself but Praise God that it did.

TTYL

DEAR SONJA YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS EVERY DAY (((((((((HUGS))))))

RIA

thanks for the warm welcome everyone, everyone seems so nice here, did know if i would fit in as i seem to be one of the youngest, glad i came though and its nice to meet and talk to all of you

ps. why does it say im a llama lol

Hi there...

So good to see you posting!

The software that Christian Photographers uses automatically puts that in for all new folks but you can change it.

You go to your Profile and where it says, "I'm a llama", you can put something else.  You could put a scripture verse reference or you could put where you live or even the kind of camera you use.

Pat

Click on the "profile" button at the top and it should take you to a page where you can adjust that.

We do actually have a couple of members younger than you, physically, then there are some of us who don't act near as old as we should.

....and here I am.  I'm really old, Neil, but I just heard at church yesterday that "old people" are precious and very wise, so just any old time you want me to say something wise, speak right up.

 In the meantime.......I've heard of that song you mentioned...but not the band.  I remember the lyrics from somewhere.

 No rain in my world today.  I think I'm gonna try to grab Jane later, and maybe we can go to Shore Acres where they have 1000s of Christmas lights each year.  It opens right after Thanksgiving and goes through to New Year.  I should be able to take come pictures I like.  I didn't much want to go out in the rain (even though Oregonians are mostly oblivious to the stuff.....unless you're old and like a dry head.  )

  I"m ready for Christmas!  I'm ready for lights and sparkles and fluffy pretend snow, nativity scenes, Christmas carols, and all the new songs that come out each year....I'm just ready, in my heart, for Christmas this year.  Pat, I pray you can reach a place where it is joyful for you instead of painful remembrance.  I know it may be hard for you.

    I didn't post any pictures for the Thanksgiving season, but I notice our new challenge is for Christmas, so I want to take some.  I'm looking forward to snow pictures from those who are in the stuff.

     God bless.  

 

Hahahhahaa....Nita! I am laughing but not sure why.  Silly!  What did you say?

Ever since Chris posted a link to this hymn the other day, I've been humming and humming it.

Just thought we could sing it again.

LOL

Sonja, now people will be thinking you're sort of strange....haha.....after I deleted my other post.  This is so laughable!

I asked if you were lauging because I had posted really big letters...and made reference to if you "could hear me".  I thought Janet had said something about your ears, just teasing, so I kept it up.   THEN.......when I discovered she'd actually said "eyes", and had said it in all seriousness and was being kind.

 THEN......I felt silly, and didn't want to delete it in case you had seen it, so I was hoping you'd think it was funny too.

 THEN......I hoped no one had seen it and deleted it quick as I could.....BUT you did and you posted, and now I guess I'd better let everyone know what your post is about.

   NOW.  If anyone is still confused, pray for me.

 
EDIT:   And Pat......my post doesn't seem appropriate after that song. Sorry my timing if off.

HAHAHA!  That's funny when that happens, Nita.  It's happened to me too in the past.

Well when ya aint here, ya miss things!  So here it comes now:

WELCOME NEIL!!!!!![/size][/b][/color]

Hahahahaha!!!!!! Nita, Thanks for the good laugh!

Sonja, was this the hymn you were looking for?

You guys are just having too much fun without me here today.

When I got home I finished decorating my little Christmas tree and put 2 strings of lights on the front porch. Then I put Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the three wisemen, and 2 little lambs on the table near my little tree. So I have been busy.

TTYL

Got any pictures, Marilyn?  I want to see how festive your house looks.  

Sue~That is it!  I love that song.  Thanks for finding it.
((hug))  

My pleasure Sonja.  When you mentioned it, I couldn't get it out of my head, and had to find it to listen myself

Neil...........

Hello Neil and welcome to NEM.  Age really doesn't matter in this forum.  NEM is a place Christians can come together to share their love for the Lord and become acquainted with other men and women in the Lord.  Remember this.......When we all get to heaven there won't be anything like young and old.

I'd like to give you a tiny bit of sound Christian advice. A church is not a place to feel warm fuzzys, and feel good.  The truth is Neil, we should feel very uncomfortable in any church where the pastor teaches the Word of God.  If the pastor you spoke of was teaching the Word of God, you may well have been in the right place.  If a Christian goes to a church to be entertained he/she is in the wrong place.  Now let me qualify this.  We should sing our hearts out to the Lord.  This is called worship, right?  Nothing wrong with enjoying the hymns as long as we concentrate on the words we are singing, and not just singing to make music.  There is a lot of conversation with our Lord in our singing.  Here's an example of what I'm talking about.  "His name is wonderful, His name is wonderful, His name is wonderful, Jesus my Lord.  He is the mighty king, master of everything..............."   All this said, if all of the above can be found and there are also worshippers of your age group, you've chosen well. I really don't believe I've gone off on a tangent Neil.  Just the opinion of an old codger who loves our Lord.  Again, WELCOME.

Janet............

QuoteNards, it is just that Sonja is having trouble with her eyes, and using bold helps her to be able to read it better.  Not a general directive, just a "neighborly gesture" for dear Sonja!  

Thanks for the advice Janet.  You've just answered why Sonja's miissed all of my posts.

Chris...........

12.40 a.m. Tuesday. England.

Hello All.

I am sitting here already for my bed, but having tried to log on since 7 p.m. to no avail I try again and lo .......an entrance.......

The Manufacturers of my "puter are sending me a C.D. Modem update, plus a new wire for my machine.  Hopefully things will improve.  If not, they are now ready to act!
I note you are having trouble too Marilyn.  I have my Firewall off also. It's the only way for me to get-on line.

It's continued raining into the night hours., everywhere smells damp.  My daughter and grandsons are suffering with asthma as per usual this weather.Even dear little William ages 11 months is now on steroids!

I succombed to watching a film on television last afternoon.  The Bible.  Jesus Part 1.  It was lovely and Jeremy Sisto played Jesus. , he showed Our Lord's humanity very well I thought.  It was absolutely lovely.  I am going to time things to see Part 2 later today.

Marilyn We have a little crib scene which we put up at Christmas also., with the figures of Mary, Joseph, shepherds and wise men and the tiny Christ child  in a crib.  We place the sheep and cattle around Him. This means more to me than a tree., although Chris still likes a tree and of course when the grandsons come over they have some small sweets hanging on the tree for them.

Lee Yes , lets sing up!

Oh yes Jesus is Lord,
Jesus is Lord,
Jesus is Lord.
Oh yes Jesus is Lord,
Jesus Christ is Lord.

Sonja, nice to see you up and about.  God is good. Let's shout about it!

Nearly 1 a.m. here.  I must go to bed now.

Goodnight,. God bless all.

Hello Everyone...

Neil, I'm so glad you are posting.  In time you'll get to know each one of us better.  You'll get to know when some are speaking "tongue in cheek" etc.

Neil, what part of England are you in?  I love England.  I've been there so very many times and love hiking over there.  Not sure now if I could do much of that as old "Uncle Arther-itis" has set in my crazy knees but I would sure love to give it a try.

I guess, Neil, one of my favorite places would be around Yorkshire down to Chester and then into Wales.  I love Wales.  My hubby and I hiked so much over the years in both North and Mid-Wales.  We didn't do much in the south except a couple of days in Brecon Beacons.

So, it's great to see you here and we're really looking forward to getting to know you better in the coming days.

I heard soemthing today I thought profound.........

"It's far better to be old once, and young twice, than to only have been young."

Let's sing the chorus that Lee mentioned...
