Morning Devotional...


God said unto Noah...the earth is filled with violence.
Gen. 6:13

But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:37

We live in a violent world--fighting, terrorism, gangsterism!

Beloved let us not be discouraged or even surprised at such an increase of violence. Rather let us take courage and see it as one more indication that He who promised, "Behold I come quickly" may be on the very threshold.

Let us also reach out with the gospel, so that He finds us not only watching but also working, when He comes to take us into His peaceful presence.
                                                                               --David Croudace

I've posted some photos that I took a couple of years ago here in Guelph...

The famous poem from World War 1, "In Flanders' Field" was written by one of our native sons here in Guelph.

I think that you will enjoy the photos.

Col. John McCrae

PAT~I've just been on the tour of the Col. McCrae Museum ... very impressive, and I commend you on the assembling of photos and commentary.  I remember memorizing In Flanders Field when I was in school.  I think many of us can say the same thing.

Hey Pat!
Why are you still up this late? Lol..Im picking on you ---
Hugs

              WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM

"Where sin abounded, Grace did much more abound:
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might Grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord." Rom 5:20-21.

Pat thank-you for the devotional and the Remembrance of the Dear Ones who died in all Our Wars. I shall be having a look later when Christopher comes home as he has some more pictures to post from the Battlefields.

At 11 a.m. Hopefully everything stops here for the minute's silence to remember, although our main Remembrances were on Sunday last, it is Armistice Day today.

A very dull, overcast and cold morning here.  I pray the sun will come out soon.

Rachelle You are an amazing mother.  May the Lord bless you and your dear family...always.

Sad news today of a 16 year old boy with a history of mental problems and self harm who took his own life in a prison cell where he was waiting for sentence re petty theft. Lord Have Mercy upon us that this still happens.

Love in Jesus' Name,
Jenny.

THE HAVEN OF MY HEART

             IN every storm, He is unshakeable,

RIA

HEYYYYYY!!!!!!  Everybody wake up!!!!!!  Where the phooey is everyone?  Wow.  Am I early??  Is it a teacher's workday?  Did Karma go to bed early last night??  Where is everyone???



Hey, Ria.  Sorry it's rainy there.  I hope you have a really good day today.  Just take a moment, look at yourself in the mirror, and say "God loves me so much that He died on a horrible cross just so I could be in His presence."  I love that concept.  God thinks you are the greatest.  He carries your picture in his wallet.  He watches you sleep and tingles with joy because He thinks you are the cutest thing.  He makes it rain so you will have water to drink.  He loves you, Ria, and He wants you to know that.  

Gotta get with it!  Good day, all!

2.15 p.m. in England.....

I am up Nards...Ha Ha! Just saw your post...Loved it.  Keep making us smile dear lad.


Jenny X

Jenny:  I see that you are online now!  Did you have a good day?  

It is Veteran's Day here today and so many people easily forget the sacrifices.  

As for some of the missing posters, it would be interesting to find out why they are gone - if their internet time is limited and so forth.  Did anyone hear if Ursula moved to Wyoming?  

Carol

Good Morning
<singing in a high pitched voice>

Pat, that was a wonderful story about Col. John McCrae.  I enjoyed the little history lesson.  

Hi Nards!  Shouldn't you be in bed or at work or something.    Your post made my morning.

Ria~ Hope this brings a smile to you.  (((hug)))

Good morning, CP!!

I hope you all are having a wonderful God-filled day.  This  is the day that the Lord has made.

So, I would love to stay and post more, but my little boy just got quiet, and since he has a new box of crayons to his name, I better go check1!  hahaha

karmat

Karmat~Oh Oh!  Crayons and toddlers don't mix.   Have you heard of those cool new wipes that are supposed to wipe crayon right off the wall with no scrubbing?  

Thank you SONJA it brings a smile to me
But i have on all the lights in my room it is so dark and it is 3.45 PM. How are you doing that

Thanks also NARDS for your words it is true his Son
died on the CROSS FOR US and He is all the days with us.

I WISH YOU ALL A GOOD DAY ALSO EVENING
MAY BE I COME BACK
LOTS OF LOVE  RIA

Good Morning, Marilyn checking in here. The sun is just coming  over the mountains but I couldn't tell  you what kind of a day it will be other that it will be a Blessed day.

Pat thank you for the devotional.

I want to tell you all that I did not forget to pray for all the military men and their families and for the peace of Jerusalem.

Rachelle: I like the Healing ministries web site and found that will be one opening  very near me in Arcata california very soon. I have heard of John G. Lake on many instances from many TV preachers. Like Ken Copeland, Billy Brim was on his program and did a teaching from John G. Lake about 1 1/2 years ago.

TTYL

ALSO GOOD AFTERNOON KARMAT THAT WE HAVE IN HOLLAND IT IS NOW 3.55PM.

BUT WHERE IS LITTLE TRAVIS
I LOVE WHAT HE IS WRITING hahahahaha

BYE  LOVE RIA

Ria, it is 7:55am here in Wyoming, USA!  well now it is 7:56am.  

Hi Marilyn! Do you still have your pictureit program? I love my pictureit program.  If I was you I wouldn't download something else if you already have a program that you can use.  Keep practicing with your pictures, you will get it and pretty soon you'll be an old pro at it.

Good Morning Everyone...

It's a drizzly day here in Guelph.  

Nice to see so many messages to read already.  Glad to see you all here.

What are your plans for this day?  Guess Ria and Jenny and Iain and the Saunders are already nearly through their day so tell us what you did!

Talk to you later

By the way, I notice that some of our members have great difficulty with our fellow's name over there on the Isle of Lewis.  It's the Gaelic way of spelling our common name of Ian.  You just put an "i" in between the "a" and the "n".  So, it's


Try it, you'll like it!

Now...  wasn't that easy??

(Speaking of Iain, where is he today?  Let's all call him really loudly!)

Dark and dreary and rainy here.   The only reason I have for sleeping later than usual.  

Today is the day I am going to get Jerry and then take him to get his eyes examined and possibly new glasses.  He needs to discuss this with the doctor in that he had a stroke that effected his eye sight.  Will his eye sight improve with the rest of his body?  Then we will return here until time to leave for our Small Group meeting.  A great day!!!

Thank you SONJA but what a time different we have  8  hours now it is 4.02 PM here

BYE LOVE RIA

Sonja: yes I still have my Picture it program, I haven't  installed it  yet. I can always uninstall what I have downloaded. But with 80 Gigs in this new computer I have so much storage space I will probably never use it up in my lifetime LOL.

You will never believe what Bebe (my dog) just did. She howls frequently when the music for the commercials comes on the TV.  She was howling and just as I turned to look at her and talk to her,She walked up to the TV and shut it off with her nose.

Smart dog, Marilyn! Y'all have a good day.

Ruth Ann

HEY, IAIN!!!!!  WHERE ARE YOU?

Was that loud enough, Pat?  

Karma and Sonja--those wipes sound terrific!  They surely didn't have those when my kids were small.  I remember when I was 6 years old, my parents got their very first RADIO!  It was a big occasion at our house!  The radio sat on a stand, and had a big battery on a shelf underneath.  Anyway, the speakers of the radio had a neat wooden scroll over a burlap type fabric, tan in color.  I had a new box of crayons...........and I took my orange and very carefully went inside the scroll design, drawing a nice orange outline on the fabric.  Now, why wasn't Mom pleased with my artistic efforts?  I thought it looked SO beautiful.....

Isn't it fun how some little comment triggers our memories?  Thanks, girls!

This is Veterans Day here in the US......a day to remember our military personnel and to honor them.  It used to be called Armistice Day here, too, but they changed the name to Veterans Day.  The American Legion is hosting a bean and cornbread feed, and will be honoring all the veterans who attend, so I want to go, with my very favorite veteran, Darrel.  

I found this little poem and wanted to share it here on this special day.

Veteran's Day

Today we honor veterans
They're heros, one and all.
In time of war, in time of peace,
They answered their country's call.

We thank them for our freedom,
Also those who came before
Who fought against oppression,
In the air, the seas, the shore.

So we take today to thank them
And to pray that God will bless
The veterans still among us,
And the memory of those at rest.

by Martha Lash

Janet, wonderful poem! I also got a bit of a giggle out of your artistic story.  You were an artist from the get-go!

I love getting up early. I am able to chat in here for  awhile with you all!

We sure love having you here to visit, too!

Welp folks, my coffee is all gone. I am off to get started with my day.  I am still reorganizing my house and have again, laundry.  Have a good day!

Love
Sonja

HI Iain!  Whatch you up to?

Oh, my Janet!  Wow!  Artistic all your life!  

Hi Soni!

BTW~Pat, did you get those flowers planted?  And how is your score doing on DPC?  

Pat I think that expression is Miss Soni.

My Mom didn't appreciate my artwork at ALL!  

Maybe that's why I didn't try again for many years.    I asked her about that a few years ago, and she didn't even remember the incident.
