I didn't play tennis today – pure sacrifice.

How about you?

[Victoria Delsoul]

I need to run a few errands.

Be back later - and come back as soon as you can. :-)

God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Dutchess, The Mayor, DollyCali or GodBlessUSA and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hi Aeronaut. Sorry I missed your "fly by" this morning. BTW, we are now proud 1/2 owners of a Piper Arrow (well actually the bank is :o) )and I'm STILL a student...but it's coming along! Hope you and the mrs. have a blessed weekend.

[dutchess]

Hi Julie. Your welcome for the thread. This was a labor of love several years ago and it has become a tradition to post it here each year. Am praying for Katherine Harris.

[dutchess]

Hi Rus. Hope you and the family have a blessed weekend.

[dutchess]

The cross at the end is perfect. Still can't imagine why the original one wouldn't open, but this is equally beautiful!

It was a lucky find. AND thank YOU for all you're help when I was putting this together as well as for the LOVELY pledge.

[snugs]

Happy Easter

[snugs]

How are you Kitty and your dear mom?

[dutchess]

Great post. Easter season is when I miss being a Catholic the most.

Yes...there are certain traditions that are very Catholic. Saw from your homepage your a fellow Ohioin. Cincinatti has a wonderful annual tradition where, on Good Friday, hundreds of people walk up the steps at a lovely old church on Mt. Lookout I believe, pausing at each step to reflect and meditate. Would love to join them one day. Have a blessed weekend.

[dutchess]

Ah...hot cross buns. Remember those as a child. Thanks as alway for sharing traditions from across the ocean.

[dutchess]

Hi Maggie. Thank YOU for all your contributions at the Finest. May your and yours have a blessed weekend.

[dutchess]

A typical Good Friday here ... rainy, overcast.

We had a lovely sunny day here until about 1/2 hour ago. Now heavy rain, lightening and thunder. Giz is fine but Rusty is trembling at my feet. Have a blessed weekend!

[dutchess]

Ah, beautiful easter picture Meg. Thanks, as always, for all your contributions here.

[dutchess]

Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed weekend.

[dutchess]

Thank you...Beautiful Thread premis/theme!

Thanks purple. This was a "labor of love" several years ago (with much help from billie) which we post every easter weekend.

[dutchess]

Happy Birthday T!!!!

[dutchess]

Wonderful thread, Dutchess. Thanks so much.

You're very welcome Victoria. Happy Easter back at you!

[dutchess]

Please remove me from the ping list. My dial up just can't handle the pictures.

Will do. I'll let the others know too. I remember the days of dial up. Definately not compatible with graphic heavy threads. Have a blessed Easter!

[dutchess]

May the Bunny fill our baskets, may the Good Lord touch our hearts.

Ah...as always, you have such a way with words. God bless you and yours.
