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."

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

Happy Easter everyone!!! Off to DS's for dinner. Nieces and nephews off to different homes and hearths today, but we old ones are gathering tonight to eat the leftovers from the big dinner last night. I am thanking God--I can't believe how blessed I am to live near family again. For over 35 years, if we were lucky, we saw each other in August. Now one DS lives up the hill. All of you who have lived near your family most of your life, probably don't know how blessed you are. For you who are not near your family ((((((hugs)))))), I know how hard that is. For you are not in your own country ((((((hugs))))))--I know that can be a very lonely feeling too.

DGS at 3 1/2 looked his mother full in the face as she told him about the Easter bunny hiding eggs and said, "Mommy, that is the silliest thing I have ever heard. It is you and Dad that hide them". I love this odd little duck of ours and his wonderful little mind--but it is very practical, there isn't fantasy there.

((NIKKERDOO))...it is so uplifting to read about your love for family, esp. that little duck of yours. :-x Enjoy your gathering!

Happy Monday after Easter, all! Going prom dress shopping with my DD17. PRAY FOR ME! ~ LOL! ;)

😉 Good luck, Julie! I recommend a big cuppa coffee and a chocolate or two for fortification.

[survivornikki]

Good morning to all, and good luck Julie! Wishing everyone-posters, lurkers, and flybys a good Monday.

[midlife*mom]

OK...back from the trenches...er, I mean...the malls. No dress, but at least we elimintaed two malls from the list. Oh, and 4 bridal shops.

Must...go...to....more...malls.....ARRGH!!!!! Will I live through it? Odds are against it!

Jess, you were right. Some chokkie may have helped. As I sit here munching the ears off some Easter bunny candy, it's certainly taking the edge off now.

Thank you, Lord, for delivering me from evil dress shop saleswomen, and lead me not into American Express, for it is already maxxed out and has no more room to groan. For mine is the teenager, with the attitude, forever and ever...Amen.

Hebrews 10:23-25
Let us hold fast the public declaration of our hope without wavering,for he is faithful that promised. And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near.

[survivornikki]

Be brave, my little soldier Julie, be brave!!! Malls, Wedding dress stores--oh no! I am having flashbacks!!!

To be serious, thank you Malcolm.

Pleasant dreams all, God Bless you.

Someone on the phone this morning asked me where you came up with the public accusation on eBay about my personal business, in which you insinuate that I would ABUSE my employees.

I'd like to know where you came up the part pertaining to ABUSE. Please reply regarding that.
