Welcome to a place where Christ should be exalted and "Self" should be abased!!

Welcome to a place where the BIBLE can be discussed rationally, intelligently, and positively without unnecessary argument!!

Welcome to a place where prayer can be requested and encouraged!!

Welcome to a place where positive and encouraging thoughts from scripture can be shared in a caring and loving way!!

Welcome to a place away from all the arguments, recriminations, and negativity of the outside world!!

Welcome to a place of rest and safety!!

Welcome to a place where Philippians 2:3 is practiced: "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."

Welcome to this Christian thread.



(Please leave all aggression, bitterness, and philosophy outside the door and please wipe your feet before coming inside!!)


  

I live in my own little world. But it's OK... They know me Here!


Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Eph.6:11.
Eph.6:10-17.

don't know for sure - i always thought 'opening post' or 'original post' that begins the thread??? anyways, I always thought that's what it refers to.

that's too funny - I just assumed, made sense, and never thought nothing of it again! Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Flying by to say goodnight. Poor GS has infection in both ears--poor little guy, he has not had one healthy day since Jan 23rd. Dr. says he has stuff in his lungs and have put him on an inhaler. So DD is not going away, and I don't get that lovely little fellow for 2 days, but with him running a temp. glad his mother is staying home.

Hope everyone, including lurkers, has a nice evening and a good night's sleep.:-x

I AM THANKFUL:

BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME, NOT ON THE STREETS.

FOR THE TAXES I PAY BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM EMPLOYED.

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED BY LOVED ONES.

FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE.

FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING, WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING, AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME.

FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE IT MEANS WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

FOR THE PARKING SPOT I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH OWNING A CAR.

FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH WHO SINGS OFF KEY BECAUSE IT MEANS I CAN HEAR.

FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING BECAUSE IT MEANS

BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.

FOR THOSE WHO TAKE THE TIME TO READ MY E-MAILS, POSTS, AND LETTERS, BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE FRIENDS WHO CARE...AND WHO KNOW HOW TO BE THANKFUL.

Yes, that's a great post MLM. Sure does make you stop & think -- you're never too old to learn to be grateful. It takes some practice but the more you do it, the happier you become.

Good afternoon dove3ducks!

Lucie--you right, it does take work. Just that little shift in your thoughts can really change things, but that little shift can take effort.

DHs snoring used to really annoy me but then when a widow said she would give alot to hear her husband snoring again, it really made me think I was the lucky one.

I had a dear little cat that loved to sharpen her nails on the brand new carpet my Mother waited years for. When the cat was hit by a car a visitor to our home, my Mom told me she wished she could wake up the next morning and see that naughty little cat ripping at her carpet.

I think MLM's post was very true, the things that can really annoy us are also opportunities to understand how lucky we are.
