Morning Devotional...


[/b]



Six months had passed since I had heard the Words from God, "Create in me a clean heart, o Lord and renew a right spirit within me".

In that time I had come to see myself as the vilest sinner that had ever walked planet earth. I needed to be saved urgently. This was priority number one in my life! I had a great fear of dying in the state that I was in, as I knew from my Bible readings that I was going to Hell and that God would be Just in sending me there.

Close in with Christ; believe in Jesus my friends would tell me. What did they know? I wasn't going to deal with Christ; I was dealing with God directly. It was God that I was answerable to and not his Son!

Oh, what confusion, what torment of mind and soul, will there ever be an end to this? Is there no hope for a sinner like me? Such was my ignorance of the truth that after I had heard a sermon on "look unto me all ye ends of the earth and be ye saved" and another on "wash me and I shall be whiter than the snow" that I actually expected to see a difference in my skin tone after praying!

I was going about my business like a zombie. I couldn't believe that I believed! Something had happened in my life but I couldn't figure out where this person Jesus Christ fitted into the picture.

Travelling down to Glasgow by train, we pulled into Kingussie station. My carriage door blocked out the last three letters of the station nameplate, leaving 'KINGUS'. Splashes of dirt covered the 'US' part of the plate, while the 'KING' part was shining in the sun.

Like a penny dropping, I knew there and then that I was on the side of the King. Christ the Saviour of sinners was my Saviour. He had died for me and all my sins were forgiven.

I was saved there and then and I have never doubted that salvation since.

Good Morning!

Don't forget to look at the pictures in the photography area.  Lots of fun ones.  I agree Pat the moose is awesome.[/color]

I better get to bed, I will see you all in the morning.  If not, have a good weekend.

Sonja

!:55 am Powassan ON

It has been a full day.  We have been to a birthday party for our grand son, Victor.  He is growing go fast.  

John rolled in at 10:30 and I was right behind him.  My he was tired.  He is to go out again on Sunday night or Monday AM.  I expect he will leace after Turkey on Sunday as that will give him time to relax and Not have to "push" to get to the delivery site.

We have had another beautiful day here in the north.  The temp has been up in the high 70's.  Everything is golden.  Tomorrow is camera day.

It was in the 80's when Sealtest finally ended the door to door delivery of milk.  Living in the Newmarket area we still had milk and  bread delivery, as well as Home Juice delivered large bottles of juice to the door.  

Yes Pat I agree we will know all about the end times when we are in Heaven.  Until then the only thing that counts is Who is Lord of YOUR life?  Joshua says  As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.

Jos 24:15  And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. KJV

I believe the choice is with us today as we come closer to His return.  Who are we going to chose, the world and its gods or the God of heaven who sent His son for us.

Those of you who have been praying for Bonnie I too thank you.  She is doing well and hurts on both sides are being healled.  They still have a long road ahead, but there is a light at the end which hasen't been extinguished.  Praise God for His patience and goodness.

Well it is time to head back to bed.
Night all

Love RIA :)

Good morning.  It's almost 2:30 am, and I can't seem to sleep tonight, or this morning actually.  I was in bed once, but finally got up.  I have those some times.  It goes that way for days and then I crash and sleep for a full day.  I don't know why.  

Good morning, Ria.  I hope you have a wonderful day as you go about filling this one up with life.  I like the poem you posted by Brandon.

Now that I've popped in to say goodmorning, I think I'll try to get some sleep.  I've been in other discussions, looking at pictures, posting some.  I've used my sleepless time to browse. :)

   G'night from the Oregon coast.   love, nita

10. 30 a.m.

Good morning from Birmingham. England.

It is a lovely sunny, crisp morning here.

Thank-you Marilyn, I have got a cold and sore throat!  Ha Ha! :'(

Iain I was going to ask about you this morning and I am glad to see your post...Thank-you for the devotional. I hear on the radio that you've been getting some strong West Winds out there.......KEEP WARM. .PRAYERS CONTINUE FOR YOU DEAR BROTHER.

Judy.............AMEN! TO YOUR WORDS.....That is all we need...."Jesus and Him crucified".

Ria, Have a nice weekend dear.  God Bless you and your family.

Pat.  Yes we still have silver-foil tops on pur milk bottles......sometimes a magpie has a nip! We have a lot of magpies out here.

I had to pop next door this morning with the key.  My neighbour is away for the weekend and I am keeping an eye on things for her.

Will be back later to catch up.

Love and blessings,
Jenny.

Oh dear Ones,

I beg your forgiveness, neither Chris nor I realized this page existed and now that I've stumbled across it, shared it with Chris sitting next to me on his computer, I'm not so sure we "should" have found it.
A page like this could swell the head past the point of carrying it through a door........
We want to continue to come through the doors, doors that are open - doors that you've opened - doors to your heart.
Thank you for that, thank you for the hearty welcome.
Yes, and may I invite any and all to a cuppa, our door is always open too.

God bless.

In His love,

Margit and Chris too

A bright sunny day here in Indiana!!!  Plans are to get some groceries in, possibly mow the leaves, take my canine niece out to do her things while her Mommy and Daddy are at a football game, shower and leave here by 4:30PM to go to church tonight.  God willing, all will fall in place.  

Boots ~ Congratulations on 50 lovely years.  Uh, I looked at your profile and it says you are in Illinois.  That was a long trip to Eastern Texas for your Anniversary dinner at Outback.   ;D ::) ???

Sarah ~ Good to see you dropping in for a word or two.  You sound happier now.  That is good.  You go, girl!  And keep lookin up!

Mieka ~ I don't think it is ever too late for hugs.....

Hi everyone
I want to thank you all for your wishes on our 50th Wedding anniversary.  

Pat and Sonja those are really nice cards, you guys are so talented and we appreciate it.  Lee your smilies with the comment just ad the zero was clever also, but you know we men are not equal to the women in some things. I do know that you are a photo person and into sculpturing, so you certainly out do me in that department.  Lee I also know you play golf, and I could probably compete in golf.  LOL

Jeanne Lee, I remember you way back when I first came on the Senior net.  You gave me a tip on how to review some of the post by going up to the top and clicking the number instead of scrolling through all the post.  That was my first computer a Packard Bell with 3.1 windows and a dial up phone line.  It used to drive me nuts, I would be typing a message to post and if I stopped for a minute I would be booted off line and lose all I had typed.  Well, I am modern now, always on line with the cable modem.  I still know very little about computers, but could not live with out it.  LOL
Jeanne, thanks for the review post tip you gave me.


Pat I loved the song you posted "till the storm passes".  It reminded me of the one "The Anchor Holds"  Do you know it?
The chorus goes...

The anchor holds
Tho the ships battered
The anchor holds
Tho the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I face life's raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm

It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.  Well I better shut up and let some one else talk a while.
Have a nice day
Boots

Etta thanks for the wish, and I changed my profile.  I thought it meant where were we born since it came after the birthdate question.
I live in East Texas.
BTW I lived in Evansville Indiana for 5 years, attended the University of Evansville.  Not too far from where you are now I believe.

Boots, your so welcome. I hope you had a wonderful day!

Boots, please add your birthday!  We have some really wild Birthday Parties in here!

If you go to the top and click on Calendar, you can see who's birthday is coming up.  It's all done automatically with the software.

Glad you enjoyed the cards.

I don't think I know that chorus, Boots.  But I'm sure that Chris will find it if possible.

Thank you Pat for posting Brother Iain's mesagetoday. I have been wondering about you Iain, How are you? Where have you been?

I woke up with a scripture in my mind that I have been wondering about it is: Job 22:27 You will pray to Him and He will hear you: and you will pay your vows.
My question is what does pay your vows mean in todays vernacular? Does it refer to our tithes? Is it getting right with God.?
The next verse says: You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you: And light will shine on your ways.

It is good to see so many posts yesterday. Very chatty weren't you all.

Be back later.

Well it is amother beautiful day.  The two younger girls are outside playing with the puppies.  There are still 4 to go, anyone want a cocker spaniel pup?   ;D  Melaura spent the night at Bonnie's to babysit Drake this morning.  He is a dear wee one.  :)

John is going to be cutting up the remaining wood while I scurry around the house dusting and Vaccuming and "baby proofing" the house.  We will be having Bonnie and Sean and the boys for turkey.  

We have a problem up here with Chinese beetles that have been imported into the country to decrease the weed purple leustripe. (SP?) in the autumn they invade our homes as they try to hibernate.  The problem is that they bite and stink.  When they come in it is in the 100's not just one or two.  I have to spray and spray with Raid to kill them then clean up and respray with something like Fabreeze.  Do you have this problem in the south?

Well John is here got to go, I will check in later,

Love to all JudyB

 :o ;D :) ;)

As I told Pat I am computer challenged.
I have shown in my profile I live in Texas, I was born in Illinois seventy five years ago and now I am soooo.. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

We are having sunshine today so I am going out and cut my grass, have had rain for a few days and the grass is tall.

Have a nice day
Boots

Look who's online right now!

Good morning all! Pat, thanks for the devotional and that wonderful song; I love it! Hi, Boots! I lived in Evansville from the time I was 2 until I was 16. I loved that city so much! I felt like it was "old home" week when I read your post! I was born in Vincennes; are you familiar with that city? Congrats on your anniversary; Gary and I are not quite half way to 50 years of marriage, but we married late, so we may not make that! LOL Jenny, Gary was reading the posts with me, and said he had great memories of visiting your city when he was stationed at RAF Upper Heyford back in the 70s; so I guess it is "old home" week for him, too! I hope all of you have a blessed day!
Love in Him,
Cami

Hi everyone.  Already a number of postings for the day.  

Boots, I failed to wish you a happy 50th anniversary.  You all have a few years on my wife and I.  

We had a call early this morning from my cousin's wife saying they were in Atlanta for the weekend and so we are getting together tomorrow afternoon and evening.  He is the cousin we had hoped to visit in East Lansing, Michigan back in early September but then had to cancel our plans.  Their son, who is in college, is also with them.  We are looking forward to seeing them as we haven't seen them since my Mother's funeral in January.

I wore myself out yesterday so am taking it easy today.  See you all later.

Good Morning Everyone

After a long day yesterday, spent helping my best friend attempt to clean some of the clutter in her tiny home, I came home and checked my emails and posts but just did not have the energy for much else.

My muscles are still a little sore from the work yesterday, but I'm sure they will loosen up as the day goes on.

I'm waiting for my BIL to come by, he needs to use the garage to work on his car so had best get moving and get a few things tidied before he arrives.

Sue

Thanks for the devotional Pat & Iain.  

So many folks posting and I'm still finishing breakfast.  It is 8AM here and slow to start this morning.  Lots of housework to tackle and must wash all the good china for our Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.  

JudyB, glad that things are getting better for your daughter and will continue to pray.

Etta Sue, you surely do brighten the day.  Love the happy bears!

Must go now.  Will check in this evening.  Have a wonderful day all...Liz.

CAMI........

Did Gary know a Jim and Joan, from San Bernadino.  They were our next door neighbours in Banbury for a while late 60s early 70s.   They preferred to have a change from base for a while and bought a house.  Joan had three lovely daughters from a previous marriage...she was from the Philippines...beautiful looking lady..long black hair.
Jim and Joan were gregarious people and their home was always full of folks from the base.  They invited us all to the barbecues....made us very welcome.

My own memories of Upper Heyford are very, very, unhappy ones but I praise God that He brought me through the "Jordan onto Dry ground"....

It's a lovely afternoon and I am about to go for a ride....

Speak again,

Jenny.

I just have to share with you how talented Happydog is. I opened the back to to call him in and he wasn't there, a few more calls and here he comes walking back over a 6 foot fence covered in ivy. He must have climbed the fence because he sure can't jump it.. When he was 2 years old he learned how to climb out of a cyclone fence pen by walking up the corner to the top and jumping off.

Marilyn, Wow, he is talented!

Here's the article on the funeral of hockey player, Dan Snyder which was very near to where I live.

It was quite touching to see on the television.  Heatley attended as well and was treated so kindly by all.

Cant find any music folks :(

Please feed me up so that I won't fit in your oven!!!!!!!!!
I can fetch!
And I will learn to catch mice!

Cami, yes I know where Vincennes is located, across the Wabash river from Mt. Carmel Illinois if memory serves me right.
I see you are in Urbana now, so more home week I spent 5 years in Effingham Illinois 1964 to 1969.  This was probably before you were born.  Just wanted you to know I am acquainted with your part of the country.  I went to watch Dick Buksis (sp) play football at the U of I when he was there.

Larry thanks for your happy 50th wish.  I hope you have a nice visit with your cousin.  Now be careful in wearing your self out... we old men cannot stand too much you know. (grin) ;) ;D

I have had sufficient rest from cutting my grass, I think I will bring up enough energy to go watch the game on TV.

Hoping you are having a nice day
Boots

   TO:-

              GOBBLE GOBBLE

You can move in here......there are plenty of rats for you to Gobble-up on the allotments.  My cats will show you what to do...If they don't "Gobble" you up first. They love turkey dinner.

GOBBLE GOBBLE
You'd better be quick, those
U.S. folks are coming and they
love a good turkey dinner.

             

Pat thank you for the webpage very nice

Chris thank you also for the webpage.

Liz you have writen on 8.00 AM  then it is 5.30PM
in Holland what a great time different

We have had a nice day i have buy new winterclothes
and new shoes only for walking.

Bye for now
Ria

Boots ~ Evansville is about the farthest city in the state away from me :o  My g-niece went to one of the university/colleges in Evansville.  I can't remember which.  I have been to the zoo at Evansville....starts with an 'M' I think.  Got out my trusty atlas.  Mesker Zoo.  University of Southern Indiana and University of Evansville.  Now if you get a map of Indiana, then draw a line from Evansville to Indianapolis...then draw a little bit farther, you will see Lapel.  I am only 1½ miles from Lapel.  Okay....east Texas.  My sister had a place on Toledo Bend Resevoir.  Her address was Zwolle, LA....not too far from Pendleton Bridge.  We would go to Hemphill, Jasper, Lufkin and Nacogdoches to waste the time away.  Are you close to any of those towns?

Cami ~ I was through Urbana going and coming from Calgary this summer.  You are probably the closest to me other than Jerry.  Urbana is almost due west of me.  

Well, I got my groceries, mowed the leaves, took Libby out and have showered.  Now I am almost ready to leave by 4:30PM.  Tonight is the start of our '40 Days of Purpose'.  I have signed up to be a host home but probably won't be a host home since we need leaders and then, too, I am 24 miles from my church.  Oh, well!  Just hope I can go to another home.  

Will try to slip in here in the morning.

Boots..........

I've been beaten by older men than you, and they'll do it again.  I don't play to a handicap for my own reasons, and if you can, it would be my pleasure to go a round, but I'd fight you all the way. ;D

Oh yes, and I never get  >:(

Marilyn.........

Job 22:1-30 is Eliphaz' accusing Job of being a wicked man and he really gets in there and attacks Job heavily, accusing Job that his own sins were the reason for his suffering (Of course he was wrong).  Eliphaz told Job to repent of his sins and a life of blessings would be restored to him.  Obviously (And unfortunately) Eliphaz believed Job wasn't innocent, and was in Job's face over it.  Unfortunately, Eliphaz, like men of today, was too quick to judge, and by man's standards, put words in God's mouth.  "Pray to Him Job, and God will hear you, and after He hears you then Job, He'll restore all you've lost and your suffering will cease "Pay your vows" (Everything you have ever vowed to God in promises".  Eliphaz didn't say, but it must have sounded to Job that Eliphaz was saying: "Shame on you Job" (My words).

Poor misguided Eliphaz had no idea that one of the greatest Spiritual warfares in heaven and on earth was taking place.

Marilyn, I've paraphrased the Word.

Lee: Okay so Vows are promises we have made to God. Like "you do this and I'll do that."Thanks Lee. I don't know why the Lord put that scripture in my head as I was waking up this morning but there has to be a reason for it. I sure hope the light comes on soon.

Thanks for that, Lee.  

I just started reading the book of Job yesterday.  

This was one of Jack's favourites...

I wish you all tomorrrow a happy Thanksgiving Day

In Holland it is now Sunday it is 1.25AM
time for me to go to bed.

I wish you all a good evening and also a goodnight

Till tomorrow

Bye lots of love RIA

Etta Sue
I did not know exactly where your home was located, but did not think it that far from Evansvile.  So you are north by a bunch.

I live halfway between Dallas Texas and Shreveport La.  just off Interstate 20 a few miles.  Lufkin is probably 80 miles south and west of me.

Lee, it would be nice to play a round of golf with you, but I am not accustomed to having an Elk or Moose (which ever that thing was in the picture) sharing the golf course with me.  ;D ;D

Boots

There's something else that's sharing the space now as well, Boots.

Not just a Moose!!!  :o

I'm home again!  It was a long drive to Jetmore for my painting meeting.  I stopped along the way and picked up two of the other ladies.  We painted watercolor greeting cards, it was fun.

Today is my hubby's birthday, so I need to figure out what nice something I can do for him.  He had steaks all ready to grill when I walked in the door at 5:20.  He had asked if I had any idea what time I'd be home, and I told him my best guess was somewhere around 5.  I would have been here by then, but I stopped to fill the car with gas. :)

I'm going to take a quick look in the photo section, see you tomorrow!

It looks like today was the last of our Indian Summer warmth with temperatures in the 70's and we took the air conditioners out of the windows.  And what a mess those windows were!   :-\  Oh well, if I really buckle down I may get my fall cleaning done - last fall that is.   ;D

Boots, belated congratulations on 50 years of wedded bliss.  Gene and I are both on our second "go-round" and only have 14 years behind us.  If we ever made 50 we'd be 107 and 111 years old.   ::)  (I'm glad I was able to help you on SN, way back when!  ;))

Say Lee up here in the north we call moose "swamp donkeys".   ::) This is a nick name us northerners have given them.  John has had mose walk across the fron of the truck as he has been barreling down the highway.  We are accostomed  to check for red eyes on the side of the road as we drive, I have missed many deer this way.  Where there is one there are two.

Boots in my driving days we have been in your neck of the woods.  As I read the directions off to John we both realized we could have stopped for a coffee with you.  Tea for me please. ;D

We have had another glorious day.  The trees are in full colour and the sky is clear.  We have been told that the cold weather is coming probably in the next day or two.  WE can enjoy the warmth while we have it.

Have a good evening all.
Love JudyB

Jeanne - isn't it good getting things like windows, walls etc cleaned...gives you a good feeling.

We wentr to Staples this afternoon, and bought a new printer.  This is the 3rd one in 5 years  I hope this one lasts better than the previous ones.

This time I convinced Norm to buy a good quality one.

we also bought a new key board., as this one I'm using is so loud.  Everytime I hit the space bar, it "thumps".  I'd like to get a scanner, guess it dosen't make sense to get one if I don't have a digital camera does it.

I see I've missed your birthday Etta Sue., I hope it was a good one.

I'll try and do better!

Judy, you won't use a scanner when you have a digital camera.  It's now you use a scanner when you want to digitalize the photos you have in the frames on the walls and in those photo albums of yours.

You never use a scanner for the digital camera.

So go and get one!

Ohhh., I'll do that!  Now I'll have to ask the sales rep how to use it., and how to email them to you!

I'll help you with that.

I was just reading over Iain's devotional again.  Sometimes it's good to read it twice, three times or more.  This stood out when I just read it.

Quote

Like a penny dropping, I knew there and then that I was on the side of the King. Christ the Saviour of sinners was my Saviour. He had died for me and all my sins were forgiven.

I was saved there and then and I have never doubted that salvation since.

What about the day YOU were saved?  What a wonderful day that was, would you agree?  To realize that Christ died for you and that all of your sins were forgiven?  Oh, what a happy day!

I just so enjoyed going back and reading Iain's wonderful devotional again.

Thank you Pat... I'll take you up on the offer... and you can come for supper.

Etta Sue - wow... you live 24 miles from your church?? and I complain because I live 7 miles from mine!

Etta Sue:  Did you happen to see Oprah the day she went to Nacoguches?  Apparently there was a lady in a previous audience who said EVERYBODY loves Oprah..so what did Oprah do?  she went to Nacoguches., the whole town turned out to see her.  It was a really heart warming episode.

Oprah has changed her format a lot (for the better) I'd say.  She has interesting topics, such as the one I mentioned; more family oriented shows.

Its nice to know that there are programs like that on at the time-slots when the children come home from school.

Our church is starting the 40 days of Purpose too.  Apparently we are to purchase a work book.  I don't know too much about it yet.  I'm not too sure I will even like the way the services will go.  We absolutely never have what you would call an Evangelistic service anymore.

Do your churches have an "Altar Call"?  I mentioned this to someone from church just last week.  They replied :" thats old fashioned"!!

I know it's not "morning" right now, but I just want to say hello to everyone  :)

I hope everybody has a good Sunday tomorrow!

I heard a cool song a couple of days back, with lyrics something like this...

"If we're the body of Christ, why aren't His arms reaching out?????"

Kinda hit home for me.  Waaaayyyy too self centered in what I do.

Nice to see you posting in here, Bernard.  Have you looked at our Autumn Colours Challenge[/b] (http://christianphotographers.com/yabbse/index.php?board=38;action=display;threadid=1378)???

Judy: we have an "Altar Call" every Sunday.

Hello hello hello!!

I was going to comment to a couple of people, but now don't remember what it was.  Sorry about that.

I do remember that "The Anchor Holds" is sung by Ray Boltz, if that helps anyone find the music.

We went riding today; got some color pictures.  Would show them to you, but they are still on the camera.  Pull up a chair and you can look at the LCD, okay?

Have a good evening; I'm going to go look at some pics.

Yes Pat, I remember it well.  Somehow that joy comes and goes....but have found that it never really departs.  Jesus is always there, even when we neglect him....

Our church doesn't have Altar Calls now...each new minister brings their own agenda.  Have always felt it to be a necessary part of the church service.  Sometimes that invitation was all people needed to prompt them to make a decision for Christ.

Have a nice evening and God Bless.  Liz

Bernard, it is good to see you posting.  I will try to get my husband to start posting again.

We had a fantastic day.  I got lots of pictures of the family and have posted them if anyone is interested.  I am so glad I don't have to pay someone $200.00 to take them.  

Hope you are all having a good evening.

Wow!  :o I just looked at the time.  9:00pm. I better get the kids ready for (https://www.christianphotographers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonifopictures.com%2Fsleep.gif&hash=ec09ac7c7f924539f00ae566c9ea2f94f869e70e)

Imagine with me back to the year 1746. A ship is docking on the coast of West Africa. Its purpose is to snatch unsuspecting people and sell them as slaves in the far off countries. The captain of this ship is known far and wide for his debauchery, vulgarity and blasphemy.

But one day in 1748, while reading the book "The Imitation of Christ" by Thomas a Kempis, our captain comes face to face with his sin and turns his life over to Jesus, the Savior of sinners.

Our captain is John Newton. After his conversion and dedication to Christ, he became a pastor and hymn writer.

His most famous of hymns, "Amazing Grace", is a testimonial of his conversion to Christ.

Actually Pat, I think your picture was for the birds. ;)

Pat......

I'm sorry to say that my PC is a dinosaur and all I get is the very beggining of the first note, then silence.

Boots.......

I can understand.  They most likely have a lower handicap. ;D

Hi Everyone........I have been reading all your posts and enjoying them all.   Now it is time to say goodnight.    

I'm celebrating THANKSGIVING tomorrow at my daughters with all my family.

One of my daughter-in-laws is expecting her 5th baby any day.   Maybe tomorrow.   That will make 14 grand-children for me. :o :o



God bless.

Oh how right you are.  I NEVER ride my bike at night because of the deer.  Not only are there thousands of wild deer in our mountains, but hundreds of tame ones as well.  We live just above a wildlife preserve, and take our visitors down to feed the deer by hand.

Welcome aboard.


Sonja.....A very lovely picture.  Nice of you to be holding up that tree ;D

Well, it's time to close the door on yet another Saturday and it's time to start thinking about worshipping the Lord tomorrow in our places of worship.

I do pray that you'll be blessed.
