[dutchess]

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.

Good morning, dutchess! Great thread and Pledge. Happy Warm and Fuzzy Wednesday to the Finest!

[DollyCali]

No Fluffy is NOT dinner! But he pushes open the button on microwave most days & gets in. He is quite indignant when I need to use it & remove him. Of course need to wipe all out first. Our pets all have their idiosyncrasies & too often I for one do NOT take the pix.. we get used to their patterns.

Fluffy is about 8 & a chubber.. lots of fur but lots of flesh/fat. His prime exercise is when Josy chases him around house. I think that is why he goes to microwave

well I hope all have a great day. LOTS of projects here ongoing

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Good Morning Dolly.

LOL.
What a smart Kitty.

God’s Work Of Art

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: MP3

READ: Colossians 3:8-17

Put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him. —Colossians 3:10

Vincent Van Gogh bought a mirror and used his own likeness in many of his paintings. Rembrandt also used himself as a model, completing nearly 100 self-portraits. These artists had a good example, that of God Himself, who used His own likeness as the pattern for His crown jewel of creation (Gen. 1:27).

Henry Ward Beecher, the famous 19th-century clergyman, said, “Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.” In everything we create—works of art, music, literature, even our children—a bit of ourselves is revealed. The same is true of God; each of us reveals a bit of Him. The image may be tarnished, but it’s always there and is never beyond repair.

Superficial changes won’t fix what’s wrong with us, however. Clothes, cosmetics, and surgical procedures can make us look like everyone else, not like the unique masterpiece God designed each of us to be. We need a whole new “self” (Col. 3:10), one that is renewed in His image and dressed in the wardrobe of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, and longsuffering (v.12).

To improve your “self” image, put on the character of God and display His image in all its glory. —Julie Ackerman Link

O to be like Thee! O to be like Thee,
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.  —Chisholm

God’s children should reflect their Father’s likeness.

Bible in One Year:   Daniel 3-4; 1 John 5

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Good Morning mayor.

Thank you for the daily lessons.

[Anne of DC]

Now I see the Wednesday W&F thread

I have a certain Christmas song going throught my head

Some if the lyrics are

"It's a warm and fuzzy time of year!"

Don't know the title of it or who sings it but I hear it a lot on a local Baltoimore FM station WLIF 101.9. It's playing all Christmas misic 24/7! :o)

[Anne of DC]

Good Morning!

Feliz Navidad!

[The Mayor]

Good Morning, good to see you.

[Anne of DC]

A whole new meaning of the term "cat food" LOL!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Good Morning Anne.
Frohe Weihnachten.:)

[Mrs.Nooseman]

It's good to be here.

[Anne of DC]

:o)So that's how you say and spell it in German!

Danke!

[luvie]

Good morning, Rus. Hope you are having a good week and have some indoor projects since it seems to be pretty cold and nasty up there!

Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God's Word!

[Anne of DC]

It's cold!
