Morning Devotional...


Be careful for nothing.
Philippians 4:6


Problems!

Life seems to be filled with them.  We are called to face them in every area of life--physical, financial, moral, spiritual, personal, and family.

Some problems, when squarely faced, are realized to be rather insignificant, enlarged out of proportion by fear.

But others, undoubtedly, are important, solved only by much prayer and dependence on God.

Still others are insoluble, for the present at least, and must be committed in their entirety to God--patient faith waiting for His time and solution.
                                                                             --H. G. Mackay

I'm going to repeat this just in case Jona hasn't seen it.

Let's all welcome Jona to our site.

Jona, there's freshly brewed coffee at all times so pull up a chair and tell us about yourself.

Jona.........

Just click on "Reply" and give us a hello.  The folks in this room (Forum) spend a lot of time in greeting one another in Christian love.  Have yourself a great day Jona.

  I love the devotional today Ms Pat. These are words for me to take with me. I often have a fears for silly things and and every think will be OK.  I know it will.  

Hello Jona, I am mieka. I know you will love it here.

I did have a hundred pages of every thought to thank you all for everything one more time before I go. But I did get a BONK when the door is locked and now it is all gone  
(it is only to poke a mean fun for 1 more time Ms Pat)
I hope you will get a good rest tonight.  

I will tell the airplane to honk when we fly over ok, and if you hear it, you will know it is only me.  I love you.  

I wish for you all a good fortune and and a most wonderful winter.  

Ok my friends, here's another easy one..........

HE___ ________OUT_____THE_________..............."
First clue......Vines

Oh, Mieka!
Soz for bonking your head.  

Now, you really have me crying one more time sweetie.  I'll listen for the airplane to honk it's horn!  

I'll wave and say, "Hurry back Mieka!  We love you so much!"




Edit:  Geordie knows I'm upset and has come running to me to comfort me, Mi.  

Mieka.........

Fly straight.  Enjoy what the Lord has waiting for you.  Keep witnessing for Him.  And, God bless little lady.

Pat thank you for the devotional this morning
and the nice hymn.

Pat thank you also for your words about my
mother  yes you also have now a very difficult time
my first husband is also 5 years death this month
22. nov.  Yesterday was my mother birthday This is a
very difficult month.
GOD BLESS YOU AND HE GIVE YOU POWER PAT

I have just called my father and he say to me i have
had a sleepless night. I also have not had such a good night.

Judy B have you now the Christmass tree in house no i wait i think in the beginning of decembre i
put the Christmass tree in the room.

The Bible club where my son was going is not more
that is a club for young people 18 - 25 years.
In the beginning there
are coming 14 young people but
the last weeks 3 or 4 and this week there are coming
2 my son Marcel and a girl.
Now the pastor have say we are stopping Now there is nothing more for young people. The young people
they want no more. It is a great problem, is that also
where you are living that young people from 18 - 25
not are going to a church or Bible Clubs.

Now my son is going the most evenings to a
school for martial arts. He is loving to do sport.
That is the only place where he is going sometimes to
a cinema. But never to a disco i am very happy that he is not going to a disco because there are also drugs.
And he use nothing no smoking no drinking no drugs
And he is happy when he can do sport others he is
always staying in home and now he is meeting other
young people and there they use nothing

I wish you all a blessed day
Bye
RIA

WELCOME JONA

10. 30 a.m. England.

Thankyou Pat.  A lovely devotional.  Puts me in  mind of Jesus telling us to "take no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.  Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" Matthew 6:34

My husband always said "sleep on it, the worry will still be there in the morning, why lose your rest". Easier said than done isn't it?

Cast your burden on the Lord and He shall sutain you. Ps 55:22

Ria I will pray for Jan ...Top of my list now.
God Bless you dear sister.

Chris has a few days holiday.  He's just made me a cup of tea (Sainsbury's Red Label) Pat!

Dearest Pat your morning devotional put a smile on my face and a big laugh in my heart.  Loved the poem and it is so very true as we can all testify

WELCOME  JONA.  
This is the best Christian site on the internet

We love to have new members to share with in Christian love

Pat knows how to make people dance. Etta Sue and Jane have really neat signatures.  And so many others have photos, etc.  You'll not find a dull moment here!  Recipies, puzzles, books...just too much to mention.  And, of course, the prayer requests are so very special.  

Everyone have a "trouble-free day!

Pat, loved the devotional this morning, it really spoke to me.  Thank you for your faithfulness in all of this.

Mieka-  What can I say?  We're definitely going to miss you so much. .   God be with you.

1.25 p.m England.

I am about to have some lunch but popped in for a mo to read last nights offerings..those from across the Atlantic.

Liz Thanks for the ref re"The List" it looks good to me as I am an avid John Grisholm supporter, although of late he has taken second place to Steve Martini and in my opinion rightly so.  They are both good men.

Melaura Hope you are feeling a bit better now darling.  It's lovely to see you here.  We need some young blood on C.P.  Just to keep us up-to-date.

Judy Hope you had a good sleep.  Those anti-depressants will make you sleepy. Love You sis X

Good morning to one and all. A special

Thank you Pat for the devotional You always post soemthing that makes me think.

I did hear from Victor Oliver's mother, that he still has not been transferred and that he is not doing well at all. Please keep praying for him.

Today it is raining and I have found another small leak in the ceiling in the hall around the vent or where there was a cooler. It isn't as cold as it was a day or two ago.

Will work on more photos after I get home today from Bea's house.

Pat PSP7 is in this computer, for a 60 day trial, I haven't opened it yet to look at it. I am having trouble getting the photos compressed and xdown to the right size, I think I will install my Picture It program as well.

Now I will go read the other forums.

Brrrrrrr!  It is still cool and overcast here in the SW corner of Kansas!  I'm ready for it to warm up some!

WELCOME JONA!!  I hope you enjoy CP as much as the rest of us here!  Come in and tell us a bit about yourself.  WE love to meet new folks.

Darrel is yelling "Breakfast!" so I will be back later!

Jenny:  So many times I go back to your verse "Cast your burden on the Lord....." and it lifts a load.  I don't know how people can live without having a faith.

Somehow, I have volunteered to get up early and help a Habit for Humanity race & dreading standing in the cold before 7 A.M. on Saturday already.  I would rather walk to keep warm but the need is for helpers at the beginning.  I did sew a warm fleece v-neck top for myself yesterday afternoon so that will be under a jacket for sure.  It is always very cold - in the twenty's here in the early morning now.  

nard:  Sorry about your job now and your feelings toward it as that can be so difficult.  

Pat: Thank you for all of your work here on CP.

Larry:  Thank you too for all of your work on CP.  I do watch the cooking shows even though we can't eat most of the things they show.  Travel shows & other informative things are nice & do you get the PAX station?  They have some good shows.  We turn it off and just catch the news once or twice a day now as it is so terrible anyway.  I hope Pat is feeling better.  Carol

Good Morning Everyone.

I was pretty teary-eyed last night.     I've never wept so much over a person I've never met in person before.


Oh, Marilyn!  PSP is one of the easiest and best programs to compress your photos in.  Once you start using it for that, you won't use any other program.  Just follow the steps I've outlined at the top of the Photos area.

Going out in the chilly wind to deliver Avon brochures!

Brrrrr....  Talk to you all later.

I forgot to tell y-all that Ihad an email from Cami. She is still having so much trouble with her eyes and it is so difficult for her to read or to write. Please keep her in your prayers.

WELCOME JONA                      
I enjoyed the poem on Trouble that Pat posted.  I was just curious as to how the word "trouble' and the word "worry" might be described and would they mean the same thing.

Here is what I found:
trouble--- agitate mentally or spiritually
worry---- subject to persistent  nagging attention or effort.

My Uncle use to say 90 percent of your worries today you will not remember tomorrow.  So do your self a favor and only worry about the other 10 per cent.  

nards I just want to say I had no trouble understanding your explanation of the stone weight measure.  
I must say I was a little confused concerning the number 14.  I think that may come under the 90 per cent of my worries.

Thanks, nards for the write up on stone weight, it was very funny and I understood nothing.  When you say clear as mud, it fits your post #67 of the 5th of November.
If any one missed this one go check it out.

Have a good day
Boots

Just wanted to say

Yes it's a true saying
"worrying about tomorrow takes all the joy out of today"
"We are told to "be anxious for nothing,"
And instead we are anxious for everything!!
Lord Jesus, help us to cast all our cares on You.

cool dude.

Welcome Jona!!!

Hello, dear brothers and sisters in Christ.  I do not spend much time at the computer.  It is Lee's recreation.  But I want to let you know how much I appreciate each of you and am just so grateful to know that there is a forum that focuses on our love for our Lord Jesus Christ.  May He continue to abundantly bless each and every one of you.

Thank you so much for the lovely greetings I received on my birthday.  Your posts helped to make my day a very special celebration.

And for those of you who have guessed the hymn message that Lee entered for today, I applaud you.  
I looked at the blanks with the few word clues and drew a blank.       I know the verses of most of the old hymns well, but this one threw me a curve.  

I will close this post with my heartfelt thanks for each of you and will return the communication to Lee.

In Christ's love,
Vivian
