Looks so delicious!
Just a simple Good Morning to my Amy’s Place friends. Hope you are having a good day. I missed my hair appt. yesterday and am trying to call my beauty operator and am having no luck. Her hubby answered the phone so I’d better call back as he could have forgotten to tell her. I had to go to the funeral home yesterday afternoon as I don’t go out at night if I can help it. Too much on my mind, not counting the sadness I felt. I guess hair wasn’t on my mind too heavily.
Hope you all have a great day no matter what plans you may have. See you later!!
We are blessed to be alive and no matter where we live and spend our time ... we daily are the vessels, hands feet, voice, heart and spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ on earth. We Christian believers are assured God is with us and will never leave us. We have a promise and an instruction from Jesus. ... Go and tell your brethren ....
Today this is becoming censored across our nation. What is the expression “When the going gets tough the tough get going?”
as Churchill said “Never give up Never, never, never give up.” “Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never —in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” Winston Churchill,

God Bless your Grandson for his Service to our America.
Dear Jaycee, I am sorry to read that your dear friend has passed away. I also look forward to the day when I will be in Heaven with all those departed whom I love.
Reminds me of a quote by D.L. Moody (sp?) “You will someday read that I have died. Don’t you believe it, I will be more alive than ever before!”.
I have to agree with him. I can’t wait to see the glory of Heaven and walk with Jesus.
Wisdom is the beauty of holiness. James says wisdom is reasonable; flexible; forgiving; peaceful; caring; given to friendly visits, small acts of courtesy, and kind words. It is humble, transparent, simple, gentle, and gracious to the core (James 3:17).
Where can wisdom be found? It comes from heaven (1:5). “Wisdom,” wrote Charles Spurgeon, “is a beauty of life that can only be produced by God’s workmanship in us.”
It’s good to ask from time to time: “Am I growing in wisdom?” After all, life is relentlessly dynamic. We’re either growing sweeter and wiser as the days go by, or we’re growing into foolish or even sour-faced curmudgeons. Into what are we growing?
It’s never too late to begin growing in wisdom. God loves us with an ardent, intense affection that can deliver us from our foolishness if we yield ourselves to Him. His love can make the most difficult nature into a miracle of astonishing beauty. It may hurt a little and it may take a while, but God relentlessly seeks our transformation. When we ask, His wisdom will begin to rise in us and pour itself out to others.
We have this promise: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to [you]” (1:5).

A small area of my yard just couldn’t seem to get going. The grass always seemed sparse in that spot, no matter how well I watered it.
So one day I stuck a shovel into this troublesome real estate and discovered the problem: Just below the surface was a layer of stones about three inches deep. This led me to replace the stones with rich topsoil in which new seeds could take root.
Jesus talked about seed and soils. In a parable in Matthew 13 about what happens when the seed of the gospel is sown on various kinds of ground, He said that seeds that land on stones and “not much earth” grow quickly but then die in the sun (vv.5-6). He was speaking of one who has heard and received the gospel, but in whose life the message doesn’t take root. When trouble comes, this person—who is not a genuine believer—falls away.
How grateful we can be for Jesus’ words that conclude this parable: “He who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the Word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit” (v.23). What a reminder of both the privilege and the responsibility that accompanies our salvation.
Praise God for the seed of the gospel and the soil of spiritual growth.

Father fill us with thy Holy Spirit, giving us understanding of thy word. Soften our heart to receive thy wisdom and knowledge, in Jesus name,
Mercy, show mercy to America, we pray. Amen.
A good Saturday morning, friends. Wishing you all a great day!
In her book Throw Out Fifty Things, Gail Blanke outlines four “Rules of Disengagement” to help people clear the clutter from their lives. The first rule states: “If it . . . weighs you down, clogs you up, or just plain makes you feel bad about yourself, throw it out, give it away, sell it, let it go, move on.”
I think this Rule of Disengagement has a spiritual application too: We don’t have to stay connected to past sin. Joseph’s brothers struggled with this. Years after they sold Joseph into slavery, they recalled their cruelty and feared revenge (Gen. 50:15). So they sent a message to Joseph, begging for forgiveness (vv.16-17). They did this despite previous merciful actions and reassurances from their brother (45:4-15).
Many of us remain connected to age-old offenses despite mercy and forgiveness from those we may have hurt. However, true freedom comes when we confess our wrongdoing to God. He forgives it (1 John 1:9) and separates us from it (Ps. 103:12). As one verse puts it, He throws our sin into the depths of the sea! (Micah 7:19). Because of this, we can remind ourselves that the Son has made us free, and we are free indeed (John 8:36).

Last evening on TV there was a segment interviewing Mrs Aaron Spelling. She has a huge up grade warehouse containing a big stores amount of fine furnishings. That she is not using now.
She has a lovely hone with 11,000 square feet she lives in now. Downtown New York or some equally high dollar location. She commented she loved to collect things she liked... then she noted “I might be a hoarder”. When her husband was alive they had an over 34,000 foot home. And several more homes.
I tend to be a saver myself. My Mother used to take a garment with good material and save the material to make something else with it. Much of what we do in life we learned early, and since it is the foundation, it is difficult to change.
Much of this type of thinking is gone now. It is essentially a throw away society we live in today.. Not for good, I fear.
Jesus Christ paid the price for our sins. we are not to continue to sin thinking Jesus has covered it all. We are to grow and become more like Christ every day, in doing good, and showing love for our brethren.
