Nice to see you Deb.. I haven’t been around that much either but it is nice to come to the Finest Watering Hole & find our friends when we do! Hope all are healthy. School has started no doubt for the kiddies

Thanks, G.B., they always bring her when they come for a visit. They have gotten another dog and Starla didn’t like it a bit. Can’t think of the breed of the new dog..he is male and his name is Duke. I will try to post him in the future, I couldn’t find his picture today...think I have lost it somehow! Duh!...

These little bunnies are getting ready for Easter...cuties~ I am so tired~~~~~~~~~

My brother said his wife would grieve over Starla more than she would him~~~~~joking of course~

So glad to see you, Deb, we are all in and out. We get sick, we have backaches, other aches, but we love to come back here!
May hugs back, Deb!

The Planting

READ: 1 Corinthians 15:42-53

We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. —1 Corinthians 15:51

An 8-year-old boy, who was learning in school about the way plants grow, was intrigued when told how a tiny seed that germinates in the ground could later burst through the soil as a plant.

During that same time, he and his family attended the funeral of a family member. At the service, the pastor talked about the final resurrection of our bodies.

Several days later as the family traveled past the cemetery, the boy remarked, “That’s where they plant people.” Seeds planted in the ground and bodies buried at death had connected in his young mind.

The apostle Paul used this same illustration of planting seed to describe death, burial, and resurrection to the Corinthian church (1 Cor. 15). He said that even though the body of the believer in Christ is buried in the ground, it will one day be raised to new life (v.42). Our natural body is weak, but our spiritual body will be free from sickness, decline, and death (vv.43-44). Our new body will be glorified, endowed with power, and like Jesus’ resurrection body.

We look forward to that day when the trumpet sounds, the dead in Christ are raised, and “we shall be changed” (v.52). As we anticipate that day, let’s spread the good news of our victory over death through Jesus (vv.56-57). 

Our Savior’s life for us was given
That we might one day bloom in heaven,
Our mortal bodies changed to be
Like His through all eternity! —Spicer

Christ’s resurrection guarantees our own.

Bible in One Year:   Psalms 148-150; 1 Corinthians 15:29-58

[Majie Purple]

I was lurking mostly yesterday till night time...but I was around. Just not posting/replying/commenting about anything, till night time.

What type of reunion, H.S.?
You may have said which on the Thread and I missed Your explaination.

[jaycee]

Yes, high school...I joked with Meg or G. B. a few days ago when I told them I would tell them which one but then I would have to kill them~~~LOL~~~

[Majie Purple]

LOL! No need to spill the year beans...I wouldn’t either!
