Morning Devotional...



I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee.
Luke 15:18

In his rebellion the son resented the father's influence and authority.  He wanted to be free, to do his own thing, to move far away.

But when he was broken by his sin and rebellion, there came a longing for his father and a desire to be under his authority and discipline.

A mark of true repentance is a willingness to be under God's authority and to submit to Him.

Is this our attitude today?

--Donald L. Norbie

I will arise, and go to my father.

His father was waiting, but first, he had to rise; he had to do something.  

The father waits patiently on me, and when I take that first step, or make that first move, he is there for me.



Good night all!


TOMORROW"S FRIDAY!!!!!!  WooHOOooooo!!!!!1

Good morning, CP!

My son decided he needed to wake the roosters up, so here it is 8 AM, and we have been up a while  :-\  He used the excuse of "hungry" to get up, then ate approxiamately 2.34 bites of raisin bran.  Guess I should've fixed that soup he was asking for.

So, now we are up.  I'm at the computer because I'm not fully functionaly yet, and he is playing with his books and stuff.

Welcome to those who have joined in the last day or so!  Do not be afraid to come and join us, we are a pretty nice group (well, you have to look out for Chris and Lee, but you will get used to them quickly enough) and enjoy eachother's cyber-friendship.

Etta, how is Jerry doing?  Or, Jerry, if you see this, how are you doing?  I do miss your posts, you know!

It is cold outside, but I believe the wind has dissipated some.  I have a Mary Kay delivery in Hendersonville (where Bernard works) so we are going to eat lunch with him today.   YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great day, ya'll!

karmat

PS -- Sonja -- how ya feeling today?

1.30 p.m.

Thank-you Pat.

Yes someone once said "You take one step towards The Father and He Runs towards you"...Amen!....He's just waiting for us to take that "First step"......like any parent, He's really thrilled about it when we do...so are the angels in Heaven.

Tremendous winds here today.  I managed to get one bag of leaves swept up in the entry but the leaves are banking up against the walls and it's too cold for me to do any more just yet. I feel too "crumbly". It's trying to rain, but too windy for that even.  The sky is black and it's extremely cold!...

That's the weather report from England...The good news is that...

GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE AND HE WILL REMEMBER HIS OWN.....

I do praise and thank Him for warm food and clothing and heating.  I pray especially today for the homeless on  our streets...... Lord have mercy! Guide our hearts and minds into helping them..Please Father. In Jesus' Name.. Amen!

Every Blessing,
Jenny

OOOOOOOOOOOH Karmat!
That is character assasination!

Hi everyone.  Chris, something tells me you are not too upset1 :D :D

Welcome to Traser.  

Another fine devotional this morning, Pat.  Our sin has made us all prodigal son's and daughters and it is wonderful to know that the Saviour's arms are outstreatched towards us when we make the decision to freely and willingly accept him.  

We had our first freeze of the season last night but fortunately the strong wind of yesterday seems to be over and it is very bright, sunny and clear this morning.  I will leave in a few minutes to attend the volunteer's meeting at our SeniorNet Computer Learning Center and then will go to have lunch with the retirees from where I worked for so many years.  It has probably been a year or more since I attended the by-monthly retirees luncheons and have missed seeing my friends.  This always conflicts with our SeniorNet meetings but since I am no longer on the board I can leave the meeting early if necessary.  I just came back from our Friday morning men's coffee at the local senior center and always enjoy that.  Later this afternoon I am going to go back to help the lady that I helped yesterday.  She has a new color printer and we need to get anti-virus software installed on her computer.  So have a busy day planned and just hope I can hold up for it all.

Sorry to read about the snow and extreme cold weather up north.  That hail in Los Angeles was really something.  Jenny, we don't want you to blow away in the strong winds out there raking leaves.  Please be careful.

Karmat, these little ones work on their own time and eating agendas as you well know.  Just think of these days as memory builders.

Good morning, Ria or I guess it is probably late afternoon where you are.  Hope this has been a good day for you.

It's really tempting to use the old line about "you have to have character before I can insult your character", but that doesn't seem like a really nice thing to say, does it :)

Hello, everybody.  I gotta do some work, now, but wanted to say Hi!

HI folks!!!
Pat, great devotion.  How are you  today?

Karmat~I am feeling much better today.  My throat still hurts a tad, but I'm not cold and sore anymore.  Thanks.  I hope you have a good lunch with your hubby.   :D

Larry~The first freeze yesterday?  Sounds like you all are a bit behind.  Have a good day!  

Good morning Ria!  I like you post today.  Very colorful and fun to read.  Have a wonderful day!

Marilyn, I remember having a Turkey TV dinner once for Thanksgiving.  Wasn't too bad!  Also, my mother was going to spend Christmas day with my husband and I.  She said 'There is no need to cook.  We can eat out!'  I said, 'There is nothing open on Christmas Day!'  She said, 'We can eat in the hospital cafeteria...hospitals NEVER close!'  I COOKED!

Karmat ~ I do think that Jerry is doing great.  He has his bad days and his good days.  He is getting new brakes put on his car so that is encouraging.  He did drive to his doctor's office to pick up some medicine...that was good.  He said he didn't side-swipe any vehicles.  

Sarah ~ The newspapers around here is full of basketball news.  This is basketball country, you know?


I have already been to the bank.  At noon Ivalou, Kaye Don, Barb and I are to go somewhere to eat for Barb's birthday that will be Monday.  Kaye Don and Barb are the busy ones so today is the day to help her celebrate her birthday.  Then I want to do some more lessons on PSP.  I still have 7 more to do that was suppose to be done LAST Sunday!  I am behind....but then, I haven't published them anyway.

I see the school bus is out front to pick up Savannah.

And Al has just called so  need to get off here and call him  back.

WE have more snow here today.  It is coming quite heavy.  John was asking if I think it will stay.  I don't know. I certainly hope not. I expect we will have a thaw by the first of December, but.......it may stay.

Chris you are too funny!  I went searching to see who was emailling me!  hahahaha, Melaura clued in before I did.  I do enjoy your emails though.

Jenny How are you today?

Ria Keep smiling and laughing!

Hi Jane!

Marilyn school busses come earlier than they used to I think?

Ruth how is your bus run going?

Well bye for now

Love JudyB

Karma ~ I am glad to oblige you. ;) I did not think anyone missed me that much. ??? Pat lets me know if anything important comes up ;D and I don't post too much anywhere.  :-\

Yep, you are correct Nards, thanks Bro.

WELCOME TO TRASER AND MFD MARY!!!

I'm late in getting here today, good to see all of you who have been here before me!

It is still gray and overcast here but not as cold as yesterday!  Jenny, do be careful of going out in those strong winds!  We can't have you blowing away!

Jerry!  Good to see you!  Do come and say hi more often, okay?

I don't have any news today, just checking in to make my presence known!

We are glad to have you here with us. Please come in and tell us about yourselves.

We don't bite. ;D

A warm fuzzy story for you today...........


The Big Wheel
--Author Unknown

In September 1960, I woke up one morning with six hungry
babies and just 75 cents in my pocket. Their father was
gone. The boys ranged from three months to seven years;
their sister was two.

Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they
feared. Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel
driveway they would scramble to hide under their beds. He
did manage to leave $15 a week to buy groceries.

Now that he had decided to leave, there would be no more
beatings, but no food either. If there was a welfare system
in effect in southern Indiana at that time, I certainly knew
nothing about it. I scrubbed the kids until they looked
brand new, then put on my best homemade dress. I loaded them
into the rusty, old 51 Chevy and drove off to find a job.

The seven of us went to every factory, store and restaurant
in our small town. No luck. The kids stayed crammed into the
car and tried to be quiet while I tried to convince whomever
would listen that I was willing to learn or do anything. I
had to have a job... Still no luck.

The last place we went to, just a few miles out of town, was
an old Root Beer Barrel drive-in that had been converted to
a truck stop. It was called the Big Wheel. An old lady named
Granny owned the place, and she peeked out of the window from
time-to-time at all those kids. She needed someone on the
graveyard shift, 11 at night until seven in the morning. She
paid 65 cents an hour, and I could start that night.

I raced home and called the teenager down the street who
baby-sat for people. I bargained with her to come and sleep
on my sofa for a dollar a night. She could arrive with her
pajamas on, and the kids would already be asleep. This seemed
like a good arrangement to her, so we made a deal.

That night, when the little ones and I knelt to say our
prayers, we all thanked God for finding Mommy a job. And so,
I started at the Big Wheel. When I got home in the mornings,
I woke the baby-sitter up and sent her home with one dollar
of my tip money -- fully half of what I averaged every night.

As the weeks went by, heating bills added a strain to my
meager wage. The tires on the old Chevy had the consistency
of penny balloons and began to leak. I had to fill them with
air on the way to work and again every morning before I could
go home. One bleak fall morning, I dragged myself to the car
to go home and found four tires in the back seat. New tires!
There was no note, no nothing, just those beautiful brand new
tires. "Had angels taken up residence in Indiana?" I wondered.

I made a deal with the local service station. In exchange for
his mounting the new tires, I would clean up his office. I
remember it took me a lot longer to scrub his floor than it
did for him to do the tires.

I was now working six nights instead of five, and it still
wasn't enough. Christmas was coming, and I knew there would
be no money for toys for the kids. I found a can of red paint
and started repairing and painting some old toys. Then I hid
them in the basement, so there would be something for Santa
to deliver on Christmas morning. Clothes were a worry, too. I
was sewing patches on top of patches on the boy's pants, and
soon they would be too far gone to repair.

On Christmas Eve, the usual customers were drinking coffee in
the Big Wheel. These were the truckers, Les, Frank, and Jim,
and a state trooper named Joe. A few musicians were hanging
around after a gig at the Legion and were dropping nickels in
the pinball machine. The regulars all just sat around and
talked through the wee hours of the morning, then left to get
home before the sun came up.

When it was time for me to go home at seven o'clock on
Christmas morning, I hurried to the car. I was hoping the
kids wouldn't wake up before I managed to get home to get the
presents from the basement and place them under the tree. (We
had cut down a small cedar tree by the side of the road down
by the dump.) It was still dark, and I couldn't see much, but
there appeared to be some dark shadows in the car... or was
that just a trick of the night? Something certainly looked
different, but it was hard to tell what.

When I reached the car I peered warily into one of the side
windows. Then my jaw dropped in amazement. My old battered
Chevy was filled full to the top with boxes of all shapes and
sizes. I quickly opened the driver's side door, scrambled
inside and knelt in the front facing the back seat.

Reaching back, I pulled off the lid of the top box. Inside
was a whole case of little blue jeans, sizes 2-10! I looked
inside another box: It was full of shirts to go with the
jeans. Then I peeked inside some of the other boxes. There
was candy and nuts and bananas and bags of groceries. There
was an enormous ham for baking, and canned vegetables and
potatoes... There was pudding and Jell-O and cookies, pie
filling and flour. There was a whole bag of laundry supplies
and cleaning items. And there were five toy trucks and one
beautiful little doll.

As I drove back through empty streets, the sun slowly rose
on the most amazing Christmas Day of my life, and I was
sobbing with gratitude. I will never forget the joy on the
faces of my little ones that precious morning.

Yes, there were angels in Indiana that long-ago December.
And they all hung out at the Big Wheel truck stop.
====================

This evening Savannah's Kid's Club group is putting on a show (recital) and this grandma is going to be there with camera in hand. You better believe I am comping home with pictures. ;D

I have a pretty neat photo that I have entered in the DPchallenge. I sure would like to put it here but will have to wait till later.

Thank you so much, Ria!  It is just on noon here, and I must get busy and do some things around the house!

Janet, what a heart warming story indeed.  Thanks so much for sharing that with us here.


I haven't much time as I'm up to my eyebrows with "stuff" around the house today.


Just wanted to say, "Hi" to you all.  Hope you are all having a wonderful day.

QuoteI did not think anyone missed me that much.

Janet.  I finally got back to be able to read the story you posted.  

WOW.  

That is all I can say.  

WOW.  

Wonderful story of God's provision.

Yes Pat it is sweet to trust Jesus.

When we do we have His Peace, the peace that passes understanding.

BYE FOR TODAY

LOVE RIA ;)

My lesson of the day was -- when every room in the house is a "play" room to a toddler telling him to take his toys to his room makes no sense.  If he is sleepy, when you take his toys to his room to show him how, many tears and pleas of "Mama, stop" will ensue.  

Right now he is trying to cut his fingernails himself.  ::)

Oh, yea, Nards, he said he put something down the register in the computer room.  Should I be concerned.  I think it was a sticker, but it might have been a crayon.  And NO I didn't let him. :P

I hope everyone is having a good afternoon.  More later, perhaps.

Any hint of our having a budget is a figment of the imagination. (https://www.christianphotographers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fusers.adelphia.net%2F%7Epairajeans%2Fcrying.gif&hash=597572e4d59b850524eb7f80b908c7e004a1b7de)

 My monitor kicked the bucket and had to be replaced ASAP so I could continue with the Town web page using FrontPage, so off we went to Staples and home we came with a new 17". It's a CRT, not LSD but it does have a flat screen and after rebate the price was only $89.  Sounded pretty good to me.  Hooked up like a dream and I'm using it now.(https://www.christianphotographers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fusers.adelphia.net%2F%7Epairajeans%2Fz_cool_C.gif&hash=7f04124fbcdb0f4864716a6a59b00aafe2a166ab)

And still the gusty, biting wind blows.  There are trees and limbs down all over the place, lots of people without power.  We're well prepared for loss of power but so far all is well.

Naw, there's never anything of any consequence that makes its way through that register anyway....

Some contractor or the other really let me down on that particular situation.

We now return this channel to its regularly scheduled programming... :)

Jeanne Lee... while your budget is all to pieces, can you go ahead and ship another new monitor to Karmat and me???? :)

Nards, I tried, but it wouldn't fit in the email.  :'(

Wooohooo...Jeanne Lee! (https://www.christianphotographers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonifopictures.com%2Fgraphics%2Fcheerleader.gif&hash=1aeedf96f8ff88aa8ca0e2b8a6b6fc0ca7061a42)

Karmat and Nards!! You two crack me up!!!!!  hahahaha....

I got this today in an email.  Really makes you stop and think.

A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional sales convention in Chicago. They had assured their wives that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. Well, as such things go, one thing led to another. The sales meeting lasted longer than anticipated. Their flights were scheduled to leave out of Chicago's O'Hare Airport, and they had to race pell mell to catch their flights back home. In their rush, with tickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table which held a display of baskets of apples. Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all managed to reach the plane in time for their nearly missed boarding.

All but one. He paused, took a deep breath and experienced a twinge of compassion for the girl whose apple stand had been overturned. He  told his buddies to go on without him and told one of them to call his wife when they arrived at their home destination and explain his taking a later flight. Then he returned to the terminal where the apples were all over the floor. He was glad he did. The 16 year old girl at the apple stand was totally blind!  

She was softly crying, tears running down her cheeks in frustration, and at the same time helplessly groping for her spilled produce as the crowd swirled about her, no one stopping or to care for her plight.  The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put them into the baskets, and helped set the display up once more. As he did this, he noticed that many of them had become battered and bruised; these he set aside in another basket.

When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl, "Here, please take this $20 for the damage we did. Are you okay?"  She nodded through her tears. He continued on with, "I hope we didn't spoil your day too badly."  As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl called out to him, "Mister...." He paused and turned to look back into those blind eyes. She continued, "Are you Jesus?" He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered. Then slowly he made his way to catch the later flight with that question burning and bouncing about in his soul: "Are you Jesus?"  

Do people mistake you for Jesus? That's our destiny, is it not? To be so much like Jesus that people cannot tell the difference as we live and interact with a world that is blind to His love, life and grace. If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and act as He would. Knowing Him is more than simply quoting Scripture and going to church.  It's actually living the Word as life unfolds day to day.

That is a beautiful story, Jeanne Lee.  I did make me think.  Thanks for sharing that!

Hi everyone!  We all had a wonderful lunch and then went to Kaye Don and Barb's for coffee and a great visit.  Well, Kaye Don and Libby, the dog, took a nap.  I just got home and it is getting mighty dark.  

Hi Jerry.....see, I told you people missed your posts.

Congratulations on the new monitor, Jeanne Lee.  That story is really something, isn't it?  We are to act like Jesus...hmmm!

Janet, your story of the lady in southern Indiana was really sad and glad.  With Christmas around the corner, we become more aware of families in this predictament.

Good night all....I am calling it a night.  Don't party too much!!!!!

Jeanne, that is a great story.  Makes you stop and think how much pain a quick and thoughtless action may cause someone, and how much a kindness can mean.

Thanks, Etta Sue!  ;)

Paul said we're to be "conformed to the image of Jesus Christ."  That does indeed mean that people should mistake us for Jesus.  Oh that it may be true of me!

Hello friends!  It's so long since I have been here, I forgot how to log in!  
We are OK, just have had so many things going on.  Trips, health upsets, etc.  I was at the doctor office in Lubbock yesterday and my blood pressure was too high.  He had the nurse give me a bp pill and water, when he learned I had to drive home.  He told me to go home and get some rest!
Earl has gout again.  He had it 3 weeks or so ago, and the med caused him to start retaining fluid again, he gained 9 pounds in about 3 or 4 days!  
Not good, with his history.  
Well, I will go now.  Hope everyone here is doing well.  
The Lord provides for our needs so all is well.  
Love,  Janice

Janice,  glad you were able to post.  It sounds like you have really had your hands full and do hope Earl is doing better and that you get your bp under control.

Enjoyed the stories related today.  These little stories cause us to think and that is good.

Jeanne, I am sure you will enjoy your new monitor.  My wife's 19" monitor, that was only about 2 years old, we had to trash as it went black and wouldn't come back on.  We had sent it to California once but that cost $75 to ship and our son had only paid $190 for it new when he gave it to his mother.  So she went back to using the smaller monitor that came with her computer originally.  She would like to have one of those thin monitors but doesn't want to spend the money as long as what she has is working.

I went over late this afternoon to help the same lady I had yesterday with her computer.  I set up her new color printer and went to install the software and it said her computer was too old, didn't have enough RAM and there was a third problem.  So I had to unhook that printer and hook up her old black and white one.  I had to call the technical support department of her ISP to get help in getting her e-mail to work and to even get online.  We did get that straightened out.  Her son had given her this old computer and a monitor that is very grey and difficult to read.  I told her she definitely needed to buy a new computer, which she plans to do after Christmas.

Jerry, we always enjoy seeing you post so don't be a stranger.

Welcome to MFD Mary.

Well I am tired tonight so going to sign off for now.   See you all tomorrow.

I have no knowledge as to what I've said to offend a brother/sister in Christ.  If I have truly offended, I offer my sincere opology to both of you.  You may rest assured I'll not give further cause.

Lee Kirkwood

Hi Everyone!

I lay down after my supper and promptly fell asleep!  LOL  I woke up and found both Geordie and Lauren snuggled up with me on the couch and I was so warm and toasty!

Lee, I have no idea what your post means.  Let's see another "Guess the Hymn"!


Let's sing!







[/color]

Pat, that is one of my favorite songs of all times.

I've been tired today.....just being lazy and snuggling with my warm blankie.

.........and I want chocolate. :)

Hi Nita!

Check out our 2nd Photo Challenge for November!

Lee I have no Idea who would be offended.  I have an idea for a hymn shall I IM you?

WE watched the Navy League cadets practice their drill tonight.  What a hoot.  THere were 3 brand spanking new kids, who signed the dotted line tonight.  Watching these precious kids try to copy the drill procedures was really funny to watch. Left turn was a right out of step, I am impressed that they tried.  YOu know I couldn't do it!  That would be funnier!

Nita Tim Hortons has a double chocolate fudge cookie. mmmmmnnnnn yummy,  I will send you some cyber ones ok?

Pat you must be really tired. You have been keeping up a hectic pace.  Soooo go to bed and get some rest.

Al How is the cold?  Hope you are feeling better.

Janice Take care of yourself, and Earl.  We miss you when you are gone!

well Pat John wants to join.  He has read Lee, Chris, Nards amd the other men posting and now he is wanting to join.  Woohoo
Watch out you guys!

Well Talk later.

Thanks Pat.  I especially love the 'lets sing.'

Wonderful stories Janet & Jeanne Lee.  I can relate to the lady with the children and understand the despair.  For a very long time life was extremely difficult and fear was always lurking...

I loved your story Jeanne Lee.  Our Christian life should be about kindness and gentleness.  Funny how so many think that a gentle nature means a weak person.  Fact is, the opposite is true.  It takes much strength to be gentle and kind in the face of adversity.
Something that Jesus wants from all of us.

Nice day on the island and no fog.  I had the Lions Club take my no longer needed 'stuff' as they would come with a van.  They can sell it and use the money for good causes.  Salvation Army no longer does pickups...Decided on a mover and went with the more expensive one as they protect the floors and provide better care for the furniture.  Guess we get what we pay for, even tho' it hurts!!

Haven't a clue what you are talking about Lee.  Please don't stop your great posting.  We learn from our differences and that is important for everyone who is a Christian.  No one person has all the answers.....

Hope you are feeling well  Ria.  Hi to all and pleasant dreams to all.  God Bless.

Droped by to say hello before going back looking for the posts on GRITS  can anyone give me the exact place and date to start  I was thinking Sept.


JudyB school bus driving in this weather is no fun but God is my co-pilot.

Pat: Thanks for your devotional and hymns.

That has been John's nickname from the time he was young.  Especially when he was in the police force with Jack, Pats Jack.

Welcome aboard, Bonesy.  Hope you have as much fun as the rest of us :)

Well, it's that time again--actually a little bit late.

I pray that you all will have a wonderful remainder of the day if it's still early where you reside.  For those of us who must go to bed, I hope you have a good restful sleep.  Those of you in the UK will be getting up very soon.  

Talk to you all in the morning.

I have lots of photos to post but I just haven't had time to get at them yet so hopefully you'll all be very patient.

Now, here's a link to our new topic...
