Morning Devotional...


Sir, Thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. 
John  4:11

The woman then left her waterpot. . .
John 4:28

When the Samaritan woman found the Messiah at Sychar's well, she found the Water of Life.  No longer had she need of the waterpot, a symbol of insufficiency.

The same Jesus in whom we have believed has asked us to remember Him.

Without the help of material things--only bread and wine--we enter into His holy presence.

This we would do until He comes.
--E. MacLelland

Hello folks! 

We just got back.  I didn't get a chance to read any post, but might do that tomorrow.

Chandraya took 1st in her division again, which is Ruby.  There is a Diamond award and that goes to high score/first place.  Maybe next time.

I am tired so I will say goodnight.

Soni

Night Night, Soni.  It's good to have you home and get a good night's rest.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Give that little lady a big hug for me.

It's time for me to quit for today - good night!!  (or, good morning to people on the other side of the world).  See you all tomorrow (today?)

Ursula

Good Morning Dear Ones


Ruthie

Prayer: Pray Till You Pray

Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving. 
--Colossians 4:2

Dr. Moody Stuart, a great praying man of a past generation, once
drew up a set of rules to guide him in his prayers. Among these
rules is this one: "Pray till you pray."...

The habit of breaking off our prayers before we have truly prayed is
as common as it is unfortunate. Often the last 10 minutes may mean
more to us than the first half hour, because we must spend a long
time getting into the proper mood to pray effectively. We may need
to struggle with our thoughts to draw them in from where they have
been scattered through the multitude of distractions that result
from the task of living in a disordered world....

If when we come to prayer our hearts feel dull and unspiritual, we
should not try to argue ourselves out of it. Rather, we should admit
it frankly and pray our way through. Some Christians smile at the
thought of "praying through," but something of the same idea is
found in the writings of practically every great praying saint from
Daniel to the present day. We cannot afford to stop praying till we
have actually prayed.
This World: Playground or Battleground? pp. 69-70

"Oh Lord, what an important and needed challenge! It's so easy to
rush into Your presence and 'check off' our Bible reading and
prayer for the day--and so hard to wait in Your presence in
unhurried meditation. I'll wait today and 'pray through.' Amen."

Good God's day to you all!!!

I am all ready for church.  It is raining and 57° F. 

Inky did just great.  Lazer surgery is a lot better.  She doesn't look any different now than when she went to the vet except her tummy is shaved.  I remember Ali looking like an homeless cat...all dirty and unkept.  But Inky looks great.  She rides in the car wonderful.  I would look in the carrier and all I saw was those big eyes.  Finally the pupils got smaller so I knew she was fine.

She slept with me last night.  That was comforting to me.  I did hear a growl in the night.  Ali didn't like it to have Inky on the bed.  She must have smelled the medication and the vet on Inky.  But she is warming to Inky now.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Happy Sunday, folks. 

I slept better last night than I have in about 3 in weeks.

I feel good.  Maybe I can get some things done around here now with out getting to tired.

Hope you all have an awesome day this Lord's day.

Soni

A beautiful Lord's day here in California, Sun shining, a cool 44*. Have a wonderful Lord's day, must get ready for church now.

TTYL

This is one of my lovely songs:

          Morning has broken
          like the first morning,
          blackbird has spoken
          like the first bird.
          Praise for the singing,
          Praise for the morning,
          Praise for them, springing
          fresh from the Word!

          Sweet the rain's new fall
          sunlit from Heaven,
          like the first dewfall
          Praise for the sweetness
          of the wet garden,
          sprung in completeness
          where His feet pass.

          Mine is the sunlight;
          mine is the morning,
          born of the one light
          Eden saw play!
          Praise with elation,
          Praise every morning,
          God's re-creation
          of the new day!

                                 Eleanor Farjeon (1881 - 1965)

Ria    (https://www.christianphotographers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fchristianphotographers.com%2Fforum%2Fsmi%2Fbyebye.gif&hash=8859d570f4eed25598673bd093ec19d5f359d442)

Good morning everyone!  :D  It is, indeed, a beautiful day here on the west coast. 

RIA~That is really a lovely song.  I've never heard it, but I really like the words!  Thank you for all the poems and songs you share with us here every day!

... And did someone say it's a special day for JOYCE? 

[/size]

May I add my birthday wishes to you as well, Joyce!

Soni - have you not been feeling well?  I am sorry about that., I do hope you feel rested today, and things go well for you.

Etta Sue.  I must go and read the back posts from you.  I gather that you had Inky spayed...did you?  I remember when we had our dog, Cindy spayed., she was like a baby...wanted to be picked up all the time., and especially carried up stairs.  Is Inky like that?. or can she jump okay.

I'm sure Ali would be jealous to see Inky all snuggled up beside you, when she has been "Queen of the Hill" for so long...LOL  Are they still "pals"?

As Ria says, this is a lovely hymn, and very popular in Europe, it was well sung by Cat Stevens who converted to  the moslem faith and now calls himself Yusef Islam!

Morning Has Broken

Morning has broken like the first morning;
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word!
 

Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven;
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden;
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.
 

Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, praise every morning;
God's recreation of the new day!




Cool the gray clouds roll, Peaking the mountains,
Gull in her free flight,Swooping the skies.
Praise for the mystery, Misting the morning,
Behind the shadow, waiting to shine.

I am the sunrise, Warming the heavens,
Spilling my warm glow over the earth.
Praise for the brightness of this new morning,
Filling my spirit with Your great love.

Mine is a turning, Mine is a new life,
Mine is a journey closer to You.
Praise for the sweet glimpse, Caught in the moment,
Joy breathing deeply, Dancing in flight.

Sunday and I have been working on the computer putting names in a new address system.

Listening to "Evangalistic Faith Mission" on the radio and it has wonderful old songs.  Sipping some good Gevalia coffee.  They just talked about good news from Iraq where one of their members - a medical doctor has been in Iraq sharing his medical talent and able to talk about his faith as well.  Isn't that interesting? 

Chris:  I read your note about Pray to Pray and indeed understand that it is a thing we must strive for in each and every prayer time. 
Carol

 

Hi everyone.  We had to be at church 30 minutes earlier today as Sunday School and church both started earlier today as we had a combined service between the tradional and contemporary services and that was followed by a congregational meeting. 

We selected a senior pastor nominating committee this morning and a new deacon to fill the spot of someone who has left. 

Happy Birthday, Joyce.

Ria, the hymn "Morning Has Broken" has been one of my favorites for many years.  We sang a new hymn (to me) this morning called "Lift High the Cross".  I am going to check to see if we have it available and if so I will post it a little later.

Ruth Ann I hope the next few days will be a time of refreshing for both Leslie and for you.  A little change of pace usually helps restore us.

Good to see many posting today.

Yesterday we got from a friend some "Christian One Liners" and I thought that over the next few days I will share some of them in my postings.  I have a feeling that we all will see ourselves in one of more of these.

Quote"Don't let your worreis get the best of you, remember, Moses started out as a basket case."

Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited - until you try to sit in their pews.

Hello all!  The tune to "Morning Has Broken" is also the tune to a Christmas song, "Child in a Manger."    I love both of them.

Hope all of ya'll have had a good Sunday.  We have.  Travis is taking a nap, and Bernard is relaxing elsewhere.  It is so quiet here . . . .

Anyway.  Just thought I'd pop in and say hi!!!

Hi y-all. nother great sermon this morning on fasting, Isaiah 58 and Esther 4 were the texts.

Hey Sarah it is good to see you back posting again. Your will graduate this year Hurrah!!  ::)

Karma are you and Bernard feeling better.  I sure hope so. 8)

I will be going back to church in a couple of hours but I decided to stop in here to spend some time with my CP family.

RuthAnn how wonderful that  Leeslie is going to spend some time with friends, getting out of thehouse will be good for him.

Ria Did you say your husband goins back tothe hospital for his snoring in september? Why such a long time to wait? ;D

Liz If you happen to look in I am praying for you sister. :-*

Hey Kathy S. Where are you? :-*

Judy  B Where are you? I see you sign in but you must be only reading and not posting? Praying for you sister. :-*

Etta sue when do you get your results for the CT scan? ???

Ursula you are and awesome photographer. ;)

Soni: you sure do keep busy mjoining in on all the things your children enjoy,. Dancing with Chandraya, working out at the gym with Troy Delivering papers with Zachery. When do you have the time for anything else. ???

Hi Larry and who ever else I haven't mentioned. Pinkie, Judy MC< Pat, Carol, Tenderheart, Janet, etc etc.

actually marilyn i will graduate may 2005 so in a little over a year i'll graduate. which is exciting but at the same time it's scary!
Sarah

Sarah, I agree. Big life changes like graduation are really scary.

All of a sudden people expect a young person to be a mature adult, and sometimes that's true and sometimes it isn't.

Let God lead you, and lean heavily on Him as you look to this new period in your life.

Fondly,
Ruth Ann

One of our newer members....


If you're a member, you can let her know you saw it by posting below the photo!  Please do.

She has posted in our Photography area and has been busy with life lately but I'm sure she'd like to know that you saw her photo.

Good evening CP.  I have been AWOL today.  When we got home from church this morning after lunch I had a nap and slept for an hour.  I have been doing some reading today.  Anyway I didn't feel much like hitting the computer  But I am here now.

Pat, thank you for the devotional this morning.  The story of Jesus with the woman at the well is a great story to tell us about the fountains of living water.

Good to see Sonja, Ursula, Ruthie, Chris & Margit, Ria, Etta Sue, Ruth Ann, Janet, Marilyn, Jane, Ruth, Judy Mc, Carol, Larry, Carmat, and Sarah.  I hope I didn't miss anyone.

There is a poster on the wall in the church we attended in Florida which had this scripture on it.

Ps 63:1-4

1   O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2   I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
3   Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
4   I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. [/b] (NIV)

Sonja, I'm glad you slept well last night and I hope all of you will have a good rest tonight.

Thanks Papa John!  I also slept a bit this afternoon.  I am feeling much much better now.  Talk about a bad sickness. I have never been this sick.  I think(just thinking) it may have been the golden seal I was taking.  I might be alergic to it.  I am going to get tested to see.  I took it for about 5 days before I finally quit because it seemed make me sicker when about an hour after I took it. 

I am going to go out and play with the family in the yard.  It seems we have become a regular little petting zoo here.  We have 2 frogs, a turtle and a puppy.  What next?  The kids seem to be enjoying them and as long as they keep the room cleaned up and the water cleand they can keep them.  I am going to help them find some kewl rocks to put in the turtles tub.

Have a good evening, Folks!

Soni

This morning Darrel, Beth and I attended Country View Baptist church.  It used to be named College Street Baptist, and guess what?  They built a new church out in the country just north of town, thus the new name!  They were dedicating their new facility this weekend, and it is lovely.  They had a good crowd, so that was encouraging, too.

Tonight, my sister and I attended the Ulysses Theatre Company's production of Greater Tuna.  If you have ever seen that play, you know it is really funny.  The play was at 4:30, then dinner afterward, and boy, am I stuffed! :P

I took Abby halfway home and met Mark, who took her the rest of the way.  She had fun at Grandma's house, again.  She said she has a great idea!!  I can come get her every Friday after school so she can spend the weekends here!  ;D

Anyway, it has been a very busy weekend for me, and I had a sleepless night again, so I am about ready to crash!

Hi everyone!

I had booked Thursday, Friday and Tomorrow (Monday) off work as some vacation time, and have been busy.  I had a very enjoyable afternoon Friday as I had picked up my Great-Aunt and took her for a drive.  I wanted to go to a specific shoe store and hoped that she would enjoy the drive.  She didn't hesitate to say yes to the invitation and it was a true pleasure to have her along.  Tomorrow I have the pleasure  ??? ??? of sitting at the computer and getting some taxes done.  They have to be filed by Friday.

I think I may go see what is on television and just relax for the evening.

Night everyone!

We have our Missionary Conference on right now.  Nizar Shaheen was speaking.   He is David Maines' (from Huntley Street TV) son in law.   He was born in Nazareth and grew up in Cana of Galilee.  Remember where Jesus turned the water into wine.   He came to know Jesus as his Saviour after a missionary told him the gospel.   

Now there is a TV station called "Light for all Nations" which broadcasts into all the middle east countries.  Muslim people are coming to know Christ because of satelite.  It is wonderful and amazing!

The gospel will be preached in all the world and then Christ will come.  Now we know this statement is very possible.   Praise God.

Love Ruthie

Just had to drop in long enough to say "Goodnight."

Sounds like you had a fun day, Janet.  I think I would make a plan like that to if I had such a sweet grandma like Abby! :-) 

I am heading to bed.  Talk with you all in the morning!

Soni

Good evening, everyone!  It's been a busy day again today, a good day.


Larry, thank you for posting "Lift High the Cross".  It's a beautiful hymn, so good to sing.  Hard to play though, at least to me it seems hard to play.

OK, I am very tired tonight and will stop.

Oh, and I wanted to thank all for posting messages on my picts at the other site (Photo-Sense).  THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Ursula

Well, things are going to be late tonight.

I haven't even started to prepare for our tomorrow's New Every Morning.  Why?

I had company all afternoon and then I was paged on the computer by Kathleen, my granddaughter in grade 10 who asked if she could "interview" me as she had to do a project for school to do with another generation!

Well, she interviewed me till about 1/2 hour ago!  HAHAHA!  Talk about going over my life story!  Really makes you think!

Ok, see you in awhile!

Time to lock the door!

Talk to you all tomorrow!  Hope Joyce comes in tomorrow to see her birthday wishes!

Here's your key to get to tomorrow's New Every Morning (http://christianphotographers.com/community/index.php?topic=2741.0)
