Hi, dutchess!!! I was thinking about you the other day, wondering how things were going. I am so happy to see you here and to get the good news about Giz.

Love you, sistah! I need to run, but wanted to post a huge HUG to you and say how much I miss you!!!

[dutchess]

((((aqua)))) Good to see you Sistah! Susie is an absoluate love but BUT a challange from GOD. I think that has happened with all our dogs.

So good to see you. Freep mail me an update and I'll do the same. I think of you and your family alot. ((((aqua))))

[Aquamarine]

Will freepmail you tomorrow, (((((dutchess)))))

Hey Lori, sisahs and all my finest friends. Sorry I missed you. Giz is 17 and old but “slinking around”. Jerry and I first treated him “handicapped”.... then watched a bunch of the Whisperer. Once we said.... “Okay kid...you’re on your own... he just excelled.”

I have moments that I want to “take care of him”....BUT he’s better off without me. (((hugs))) Ilene

Oh, Amy, that is the Sweetest Graphic; it Reminds me of my Own Doggie. Thank You! : )

It's Good to See you, Dutchess!

Goodnight to All FRiends. Our Lord Grant us a Peaceful and Restful Night.

Fantastic Kitty photo, thanks for sharing it with me.

Praying that your day was a special one.

Yes, I saw Melissa dance tonight, and I was quite impressed! Two days practice, and she looked like a pro! It would take forever and three days to see me dance so well! She got 23 points out of 30 - not bad at all!

And, did anyone notice her sweet smiles? She is SO relaxed when in the public eye - and (I believe) that is how she seems to be in real life!

[GodBlessUSA]

This is so lovely! :)

Wonderful poem Lady Jag :)

Good Morning Dutchess :)
Great to hear from you! How sweet your Susie is a mini! I hope Giz continues to do better.

Politics is too frustrating and such a downer! I have to force myself to read in smaller doses and no MSM tv these days. :)

HUGS

[GodBlessUSA]

Wishing you all a good day! :)

For The Birds

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Hebrews 13:5-16

You shall not covet . . . anything that is your neighbor’s. —Exodus 20:17

The bird feeder attached to my office window is just beyond the reach of the squirrels. But one squirrel has made it his mission to get the seeds meant for the birds. Having seen his tiny neighbors nibbling noisily from the abundant supply, the squirrel is fixated on enjoying the same pleasure. He has tried coming at the feeder from every direction but without success. He clawed his way up the wooden window casing to within inches of the feeder but slid down the slippery glass. He climbed the thin branches of the forsythia bush. Then he reached so far that he fell to the ground.

The squirrel’s tireless attempts to get what isn’t meant to be his calls to mind a man and woman who reached for food that wasn’t meant to be theirs. They too suffered a fall—a fall so severe that it hurt the whole human race. Because they were disobedient and helped themselves to food that God told them not to eat, He put them where they could no longer reach it. As a result of their disobedience, they and their descendants must now work hard to get what He originally had given as a gift—food (see Gen. 2–3).

May our desire to have what God has kept from us not keep us from enjoying what He has given to us (Heb. 13:5).

Thinking It Through
What (or who) am I looking to for happiness?
Is this wise? Or do I need to make some changes?
How may I be content? (Heb. 13:5).

Godliness with contentment is great gain. —1 Timothy 6:6

Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 11-13; Mark 12:1-27

Good Morning to Friends of Amy's Place

[jaycee]

Post 1073 was supposed to go to everyone! I spent so much time on the graphic, I forgot to address correctly! Good Morning anyway, everyone!

[jaycee]

Good Morning, GeeBee!
Wishing you a very good day!
Sweet little bird (a wren, I think?)

[jaycee]

I would have loved to have seen that! Sure hate I missed it! I think Melissa is so cute...she reminds me a little of my oldest granddaughter with her olive skin.

And a very good morning to you, yorkie!

[jaycee]

Very nice graphic for bedtime, Kitty! Just viewed it this morning. Have a beautiful day!

Anyway

---

People are often unreasonable,
Illogical and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
People may accuse
You of selfish motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
You will win some false friends
And some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
They may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;

It never was between you and them anyway.

~Mother Teresa~

We may have seen this before but it is a favorite of mine and I always like to read it again. Enjoy!
