Ria, that IS terrible!  

An Awesome God indeed!

Every day, blessings from His Hand,
I pray the Lord will open my eyes to see that even seeming setbacks are just a hidden blessing, and that if I thank Him and praise Him for them,He will open it up and show it to me as He sees it.
Many a time we just see as the world sees, because that's the way we were conditioned before our salvation, and we fall so readily into the trap of our old life attitudes, and outlooks.
But we are renewed, with new sight, and new Family, a new relationship with Him,I guess we should ask to have the blinders taken off more often, instead of just going along with the same old moans and groans and complaints.
But instead, we must look up at the first sign of trouble, or  seeming trouble, and ask "Lord what do You want me to do here."
May His blessings be upon all here this day, as we give thanks for all things.
Love to all, Chris and Margit.

Hello to all and I have been on-line for a little while last night..but was too sleepy to post.

I think the devotional is just for me. I do have to watch my tongue so many times.  Thanks for the reminder, Pat

Ria, your message was so terribly sad.  I don't see how anyone can abuse a child, sexually or physically or emotionally.  It looks like someone should have found out when she got pregnant the first time.  She is soo very young.

I was tickled pink to see that Nita is back with us.

I pray that Papa John's pain will go away.  Also, for Ria and her back pain.  I'm glad Ria is following doctor's orders and will find out more about her osteoporosis in Oct.

I liked the song that Chris & Margit put up for us to hear.  

Well, back to work.  Everybody have a blessed day.

Thank you dear Kathy

But now i am going to my bed. In Holland it 11.45 PM
and tomorrow at 6.30AM we must wake up.

I wish you all a very good night God is with you also
in the night.

Bye for today till tomorrow RIA

Ria, I did understand about the girl being only 13 years old, in your first posting.  I apologize for my oversight in not responding to your post.  That IS a terrible thing, and so sad because it is not an isolated incident.  There are many evil people in this world.  But-----WE WIN!!  (I read the end of the Book!)

We got many hundreds of feet of wire pulled at the school; two down, two to go!  Then Darrel will have a fairly easy job to finish up the alarm system additions.  He needs help when pulling wire around so many corners!  And I am glad I am able to help him with it.

I can't believe it is already 4:00!  My, this day has gone quickly!

Oh, yes!  I wanted to tell you I got a phone call from a very excited little girl last night!  Abby was calling to tell me she had lost her first tooth!  She said "Be sure to tell Grampa, and Beth, and Jeanie, and Great Grandma, and.........."  She is such fun.

Chris, thank you for being such an encourager!  God bless you and Margit!

Here's a beautiful Psalm to sing.  Isn't it wonderful to know that the Lord really is our Shepherd?

Good Evening Everyone

Pat, thank you for your devotional this morning.  I don't often turn on my computer before heading to work.  I did this morning and was thankful that I had as the message to guard my tongue stayed with me all day.  

Ria, how awful that something so tragic could happen to a 13 yr old girl.  I do hope that your back starts to feel better in time.  I have back troubles also and can understand your pain.  It can be crippling when in its worst.

Chris & Margit, thank you for the Wings of a Dove.

Pat, the music to the 23rd Psalm was a calming end to my day, and start to my evening.  When the Psalms are put to music they are beautiful!

A friend of mine emailed the following link that I thought everyone might enjoy also.

Meika, I have also just received your email.  Many thanks for the hug!

Sue

It's so nice to see your post, Sue and I'm so happy that the devotional was a blessing to you before heading off to work.  Thanks for the link as well.  

HI folks!!!!!!

It has been awhile.  
We have been so busy this summer with the kids, vacation, pictures and little trips here and there to see family and friends.  

We are now back to the old routine of school.  It has been tough getting started but we have managed and we are finally getting into a good schedule.

I will try to stop by more often now that i seem to be on here more in the morning.  

Pat thank you for the wonderful devotion!

Talk to you all later.
Sonja

Sonja!  
It's great to see you here.  You have no idea how happy I was to see your name pop up.  

I hope you enjoyed your summer and hopefully you took lots of photos that you'll be sharing with all of us.

Sonja ~ So glad to see your pretty face on a post!!!  How is the kitchen coming?  Almost done?  Done?  Again, I was so happy to get to meet you and your family.  Today, I was getting out my insurance cards from my billfold and out came the picture you gave me of the kids.  How is that for co-incidence?  Picture and then your post!

Karma ~ I knew Travis could do it.  He wasn't going to continue the rest of his life just saying.,.....Dada and Mama!!!!  

Ria ~ That is terrible for that 13 year old.  Sad to say, but that happens here also.  

Today was a long day....Trash day.  Jerry got up early, too.  Took him for a blood test.  Ate breakfast out.  Got him two loaves of bread.  Filled the car up with gas.  Reset odometer.  Got his mail.  Took him home.  Went to the dentist for a check up.  Needed a root canal.  They called Indy.  Cancelled appointment so an opening.  Can she be here within the hour?  Yes!  Drove to Indy.  Got a root canal.  Drove home.  Drove to the bank.  74.6 miles on trip odometer.  Message machine message from KDon wanting me to go to lunch with them for my birthday.  Walked over to talk to him.  His Honda Gold Wing on the blink.  Won't start.  Doesn't know the problem.  Then stopped at Ivalou's.  Talked to her.  Numbness out by then.  Dr. said soft food tonight so had dinner of a bowl of ice cream....Hey, dairy and protein...(nuts)....and veggie...(cocoa beans...beans are veggies)  Now it is getting caught up on here so I can watch a little TV and unwind for bed!  Busy day!!!

PATMEEKS!

I know Pat just posted The 23rd Psalm with some beautiful music....but I am sure you can stand another version of

What a day you've had, Etta Sue!  My goodness!

Thanks so much for the Psalm 23!  I've just enjoyed it so very much!

Thanks!

Pretty soon I will be leaving for Bible study. But I wanted to stp in here and check the prayer folder before I leave. Well I am posting here too. My goodness Etta Sue thats a lot to do in one day.

Sonja so good to see you in here again. I hope you have a lot of photos to show us of your summer travels. How is Zachery doing? I have been reading many things about Chrons lately I've noticed that it is also called the "wasting disease"

Hi Pat!!!!!

[/size][/b][/color]

Hi Marilyn!

Praying for you girl!

Thanks Pat  I take it you got my email the day you compressed the photo for  me. Can't wait to get my new camera, the reviews are saying that the Kodak DX 4300 is a great camera. I am always seeing things that would be great photos, so when it does get here I will have to make sure I carry it with me all the time.

Thank you Etta Sue for that lovely presentation of the 23rd Psalm.  Beautiful pictures of God's creation.  How wonderful to know He is our Shepherd who care for His sheep.

Hello John,welcome to CP.  You will enjoy posting here and if you have any questions, they will surely be answered.

Ruthie

Yes, I've heard it's a good camera, Marilyn.  I can hardly wait till you get it as well.

I'd love to upgrade my camera to the Nikon 5700 but finances this year are almost ziltch so I'll continue to use my taped up camera.  I have black electrical tape holding it together!  LOL

Yes, I got your email, Marilyn and I continue to pray!  

We're Number One!!!

  Hi Ms Marilyn  
I am right here  

I read every word, I do.
I am happy when you are happy, I am sad when you are sad. I do pray for everyone here.

It is so fun to me to see some friends here who do not come here much any more. ms Nita, Ms Sonifo and Ms Sue.

It make me smile to see you are all happy and well.

I do pray Ms Janice and Mr Earl are ok too.

and a very big HELLO to PATMEEKS  

WELCOME, PAT[MEEKS We are so glad you have joined us.

  Hi Ms Janet:    

Hi Mr Turbotech  

Hi Mieka!

Got any more photos to share?  We'd love to see them.

  Hi ms Pat,
I do have some and I like to share them, but I do not have a webpost any more and my pbase is gone too  

It is a bother to me to not have a way to show them as I like to.   I need to change them some times and fix them and I can not do it now.  

I will be gone again in some weeks and I do not wish to pay for a place to have a pictures if I am not here to use it, so I only watch and read this wonderful story of life each day.  I love the CP ms Pat. and I love all my friends here.

And we sure love you, too, Ms. Mieka!

and I can surely echo that, Janet!  MIEKA you are well loved.  Just know that, okay?  

Sonja, it is sooo good to see your smiling face and "hear" how you and your family are doing.  

Sue, it is good to see you also ... as they say in some parts of the country "don't be a stranger, now, y'hear?"

Mieka, you know I'll post them for you.  Please send them to me.

Love you so much
