what they do for us!

READ: 1 Chronicles 16:23-27
Sing psalms to Him; talk of all His wondrous works! 1 Chronicles 16:9
Our home in Boise is next to a park where I walk most mornings. An elderly woman walks there at the same time. She walks clockwise and I walk counter-clockwise, which means that we meet twice each lap.
She has the most lovely, crinkly eyes and wrinkled face that wrinkles even more when she smiles. When she smiles, her whole face smiles!
She has Alzheimers.
The first time we meet she asks, Have I sung my song? I say, No, maam. And she sings a little song about the sun: Good morning, Mr. Sunshine . . . Then she smiles, raises her hands in a kind of blessing, and moves on.
So we go our separate ways180 degrees around the circleuntil we meet again. She asks, Have I sung my song? I say, Sing it again! And she does. I cant get her delightful song out of my mind.
She has become a parable of the kind of person I want to bemaking my way through the world, singing and making melody in my heart, singing of the Sun of Righteousness who has risen with healing in His wings (Mal. 4:2), leaving behind a lingering memory of His love.
May His song be on your heart and lips this day. And may many hear and put their trust in the Lord.

What a beautiful message..Thank you, Mayor.
Good morning... Thank you!
Good Morning Everyone!! Thank you Rus for the thread & the daily word & helping us despite your busy life. Did you get all the signs done? Is this for your personal election or for one of the “causes along the way”?
sunny & Mild in NE Ohio & my dog walk with Patty & John & our 4 dogs will be before the promised rains.
Everyone is busy. I note a lot less activity at many threads & several of the forums I visit.
The browns beat the Ravens yesterday ... I am shocked (but do have a smile on my face)
here is a little humor that has been around a bit, but still cute..
@@@
A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.
The Marine reported, “I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scumbag who got what he deserved, and he yelled back that Ted Kennedy is a fat, good-for-nothing, left wing liberal drunk who doesn’t know how to drive. So I said that Osama Bin Ladin dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian!” He retaliated by yelling, “Oh yeah? Well, so does Hillary Clinton!”
“And, there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a truck hit us.”
They are my signs, I got over 100 done yesterday printed on both sides and will be doing another 100 today.
They are my Vote Rus signs for peoples yards and the roadway.
Is this for a November election? I guess I missed the race details..(and I was with you personally & didn’t ask) groan. Are you running for city? county office?
