A CHRISTIAN THREAD

[tom_no.1]

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!

Good afternoon all . . .

Laurie - thanks for that inspirational link. . .how does that saying go 'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

Shirley--CONGRATULATIONS!

If you want to be the salt of the earth, you have to be willing to be shaken out of the box.

Thanks All......I finally settled down enough to write some more......I do have 2 pictures that she sent but they are huge and I don't know how to make them smaller.
I am very blessed to have a large family. My Mom and Dad are still living in their own home....Mom is 96 and Dad is 89.....My sister and her kids live very close to them,so they check up on them all the time.....
So all in all, I am truly blessed..
Hope everyone has a restful night:-x God Bless...

Could you all please add my niece to your prayer lists? She was bitten by a dog tonight and that is all the information I have. She was on the way to the ER with her mom and a family friend around 8:30 tonight. I should have an update tomorrow. Thank you all!

((((Jess)))) offering up a prayer for ((((your niece))).

erm... I think it was Lucie that posted the inspirational site. She deserves the thanks.

But I'll take hugs from whoever is passing them out. :)

[survivornikki]

Lucie--so sorry, I knew it was you that posted the site, but senior moment, went and looked at the site, came back, still knowing it was you, but then typed Laurie. I must remember to proof read before I hit "post"--anyway, good site--thanks for posting it.

[squiddley_diddley]

:^O Don't worry about it, I have a lot of those "senior moments" too. "Laurie", "Lucie" --- pfffft, pretty close anyway (lol).

[wattie515]

Jess.....((((hugs and prayers going out for you and your niece )))):-x God Bless.....

[writingjessamyn]

update on my niece: she didn't require stitches! However, the dog has not had its shots, so it is in quarrantine and depending on how that goes, she may need to have a rabies vaccination or something like that (sorry, I'm getting the news third hand)

[wattie515]

Hi Jess.....thanks for the update....good news not having to have stitches......I'm praying for good news on the shot too.....:-x

[midlife*mom]

Jess....CYE. 🙂

Shirley - congratulations, G-Grandma! :)

[squiddley_diddley]

Shirley: If you want to e-mail me the pictures you want to post on here, I'll post them for you. I think you still have my e-mail addy don't you?

[wattie515]

OK Lucie...I'll try....but just with the one that has both kids on it......I looked at it again and the older one is really bigger then I thought..but you will be able to see the look on his face!!!! LOL

[wattie515]

There I sent it......I'm on dial-up so it takes 7 min. just to download that picture....I've asked Mindy before to not make them so big....(just like she has nothing on her mind):-D I am just so glad to get them that I've never ask her again.....;-)

Hope it comes thru......

[squiddley_diddley]

Okay Shirley, it did come through and here it is folks:

[squiddley_diddley]

Aren't they just the cutest little dickens? Even with the scowl on his face, I can tell that the older one is gonna be a real heartbreaker when he grows up (lol).

[writingjessamyn]

Aw! How sweet! Congratulations, Shirley!

[wattie515]

Thank you sooooo much Lucie :-x I replied to your e-mail before I opened this one........

I haven't ever seen the oldest one in person, but his Grandma said he was the cutest thing..... now she has 2 to brag about, just like me!!!!!!!! Thanks again Lucie:-x
