A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Welcome to Warm Fuzzy Wednesday at the Finest. For those who start counting the days on Monday until the weekend, we're halfway there! So we're here to banish those doldrums and make you smile inside! Please feel free to post sweet graphics and/or little stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy - or just come by and give us a smile. Only two more days 'til the weekend!

Saving Ourselves

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: 1 Corinthians 15:12-20

If we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. —2 Timothy 2:11

Inside, music was playing. Outside, leaves were falling. Catching a gust of wind, one of the last leaves of autumn blew briefly upward as I heard the phrase, “He is risen!” By the end of the song, however, the leaf had reached the ground. Gravity had overcome the breeze.

Later, I overheard three middle-aged women discussing diets, exercise, face-lifts, and other age-defying efforts. Like the leaf, they were trying to keep gravity from pulling them toward the inevitable.

Their conversation reminds me of the good works people do to try to save themselves from spiritual death. But just as leaves cannot keep from falling and people cannot keep from aging, no one can work hard enough to avoid the consequences of sin, which is death (Rom. 6:23).

At the crucifixion, mockers challenged Jesus to save Himself. Instead, He put His life into the hands of God, and God gave back to Him not only His own life but ours as well. To receive salvation, we too must simply put our lives into the hands of God, for if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in us, He will give life to us as well (Rom. 8:11).

The forces of sin outside cannot defeat the life of Christ inside.

Thank You, Jesus, for Your willingness
to surrender to Your Father’s will.
For if You had chosen to save Yourself,
You could not have saved me. Amen.

Salvation isn’t turning over a new leaf; it’s receiving a new life.

Bible in One Year:   Exodus 9-11; Matthew 15:21-39

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning stopem :)
It is fun. I enjoy going through them all too. Some are so cute and some so beautiful. They put a smile on our faces. Where else can we see and post such cute graphics :)

[The Mayor]

Good Morning!

How cute..

[stopem]

I can tell you it's my first stop of the day on the internet.
(coffeecup in hand)

Talking about that, funny story, did you ever have a favorite coffeecup?
My husband does, last night he could not find that cup, we scoured the entire house looking for it, a neighbor found it on our mailbox, he forgot it there when he went to get the mail. :) Good grief.

[GodBlessUSA]

A neighbor found it. LOL!! I do understand, I do have a favorite coffee cup. My son picked out it for me when he was about 8 :) It had a stuffed little leopard in it for him, when we brought it. I'd being looking for it all over too. I know that little leopard is still here somewhere too. :)

[stopem]

Check with your mailman....LOL:)
Just kidding.

I swear the man went beserk because he could not find that cup. :)

[GodBlessUSA]

That's funny. Where's my coffee cup!! ;) I'm glad you found it. :)

I have to see if I can find the little leopard. :) It's such a nice memory.

[LUV W]

I'm warm, fuzzy and cute!

[beachn4fun]

YOu want to see cute? Look at #28.

LOL

(((HUGS))) Luvy (p.s. did you get to see your PJ yet?)

[LUV W]

Nooooooooo....they live 450 miles away. We won't get to see her till the weekend of February 3rd.

My son still hasn't e-mailed pictures of her yet, either. I hate to nag a new father--who is probably tired from staying up with a new daughter--but I am about to start! LOL!

#28 was adorable!

[DollyCali]

what wonderful things you have contributed~ Thanks for the smiles they provided. The zebras in rear view mirror were great.

what is your guess.. is 26 a baby raccoon?

[Kitty Mittens]

That is Absolutely One of the Cutest Graphics I've Ever Seen, Dear (((((GeeBee)))))! What an Adorable Kitty! And, beachn4fun, the Naughty Doggie in Post #28 is Sweet.

Everyone have a Beautiful and Blessed Warm, Fuzzy Wednesday!

[DollyCali]

that was a darling graphic with the sideways hat.. and we (I guess I mean "I") should try to put that together with your pix with hat.. could be fun

When I am feeling better and IF I REMEMBER, I will play around with it a bit

[beachn4fun]

Listen, as a duly appointed new grandma, bug that boy to get you pictures.

If he doesn't have a digital, go get one, pronto.

(that's the only way I got to see Lexy and Jake. They had the camera in the delivery room. Not any birthing shots, but they were naked and on the scale. And a lot there-after. Good thing too since we had to wait until May to see either of them.)

[Kitty Mittens]

Hurry Back, Sweet (((((Purple)))))! I Miss you Everyday!

[beachn4fun]

#26 is a ferrett.

(they're smelly little creatures)

[beachn4fun]

Howdy Kitty Mittens

That is a cute picture of that little rotten thing.

LOL

[DollyCali]

Thanks.. Know some people love ferrets. I will admit to have never even seeing one.

I simply do NOT need to fall in love with another animal type~

snow coming down heavily. Going to chiropractor (day early due to weather) later today before the Bible Study class I teach.

BUT NOW NAP!

[beachn4fun]

Nap?

Oh, stop teasing me

:(

LOL...enjoy the nap.

[Lady Jag]

Wow, he got a sock in the mouth!

[beachn4fun]

You notice she's also whispering in his ear? (wink)

[Lady Jag]

Happy Warm & Fuzzy
to all the finest!

[MEG33]

Lord, We thank You for those who are serving in our armed forces. Each day they are making brave sacrifices so that our country can remain strong and free. Keep them safe under the shelter of Your wings. And Lord, for their families back home——whose loving support enables our armed forces, to do all that they are called on to do——we ask that You comfort them and give them Your peace...the peace that passes all understanding. Amen


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; DollyCali; JustAmy; The Mayor; 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. Amen
