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!

Three friends from the local congregation were asked, "When you're in your casket, and friends and congregation members are mourning over you, what would you like them to say?"

Artie said, "I would like them to say I was a wonderful husband, a fine spiritual leader, and a great family man."

Merle commented, "I would like them to say I was a wonderful teacher and servant of God who made a huge difference in peoples lives."

Don said, "I'd like them to say, 'Look! He's moving!'"

Too blessed to be stressed.

Good Morning,

Poked my nose in to see TOB posting at 4:00 a.m. my time. Are you having trouble adjusting to the change in hours?

Nancy

Hehehe....

Barkyd is a night owl, I am an early bird. I'm two hours ahead of 'my usual self' here but THAT wasn't the problem....

I've been seeing a naturopath for health issues I have, and she has me on quite a restricting diet (It seems to be working however- YAYYYYYYY - as I feel better now than I have done in 2 1/2 years). Last night for supper I decided to join in and eat what everyone else was eating. Bad choice on my part. Indigestion majoralis!! Up for two hours and finally fell asleep in the recliner about 5 ish. Never again...am back to my healthy eating again today.
Live and learn they say. 😉

Hope everyone is having a blessed Wednesday :-x

The Ark:

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark

One : Don't miss the boat.

Two : Remember that we are all in the same boat.

Three : Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

Four : Stay fit When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

Five : Don't listen to critics; just get on with
the job that needs to be done.

Six : Build your future on high ground.

Seven : For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

Eight : Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

Nine : When you're stressed, float a while.

Ten : Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Eleven : No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...

TOB - Hope that you are feeling better now and that you won't be too tired to enjoy today. I have a friend who is allergic to gluten and I know how hard it can be for him to stay on his diet when he is with company.

Valve - Good to see you. That is one cute picture.

Good morning to everyone,

TOB--you have my sympathy--I am diabetic and am pretty careful about what I eat--but every once in awhile Island Farms Caramel Explosion Ice Cream sings its siren song, and I have a pretty nasty night. Hope you feel much better now.

Nellie--"look he's moving":^O

Nancy--you are up late or very early, you okay?

Valve--very profound--Especially like #1,#2--my favorite is #11.

Heavy mist this morning, but the sun is coming out, so a quick check of my email, then out to garden.

Hope everyone is having a nice day.

Took the in-laws out for their weekly shopping trip. Normally their great-grandson comes with us. The shopping usually takes about 7 hours.

Great-grandson decided he wanted to go to public school for grades 11 and 12.

No great-grandson this trip to town. Shopping trip lasted 4 1/2 hours!

I love public school:-x

So in answer to your question, Nikki, YES!!! I am having a nice day:^O

[survivornikki]

Bette--a 4 1/2 hour shopping trip with inlaws---what I a woman!!! I am pretty sure that a 7 hour trip with inlaws and a teenager qualifies you for sainthood.

I salute public education!

[survivornikki]

Good Morning!

Nancy, holding you in my thoughts as you make that long trek today in the heat and praying the tests are accurate and good news.:-x

Hope everyone has a good day.

[tough_old_bird]

Today I'm 'attempting' a bit of housecleaning (oy vay....where do I even begin to start? ;-))

Thinking of you Nancy...praying all goes well.

Another beautiful, hot summer day in Barkyville.

Hope everyone has a great Thursday. :-x

[amamused1]

Where exactly is Barkyville? I know where Barkerville is but Barkyville eludes me?

[tough_old_bird]

Rather than say where exactly I am right now (I've seen what can happen on these boards) I use the term 'Barkyville'. My friend uses the eBay ID barkyd...I'm staying at his house....hence 'Barkyville'.

[amamused1]

lol.... sorry TOB.... never meant for you to divulge exactly where you were. Cute play on words though. Hope you are having a great time!

[thetickletrunk]

Nellie, love the stories! Good day everyone! Sorry you had a bad night with your tummy TOB. Cute post & pic Valve. Nancy, hope your day is going smoothly....Nicki, always nice to see you. Bette, sounds like you had a great day shopping!

[thetickletrunk]

Anyone hear from Seasage this summer? I miss her posts.

[thetickletrunk]

Nikki! Its 49 actually. 🙂

Waves hello to Marion!

[mazyvr]

Waves back to Christine and to everyone. Hope you're all having a good day. Babysitting my 20 month old grandaughter who's a going concern as they all are - 'feezie nanny, feezie feezie !!'
That's a freezie for the uninitiated, sure you all are - but I'm her bestest friend when I feed her the feezie !!

Cheers, Marion

[survivornikki]

Ah, Marion, I see you have found the way of taming the grandkids. DGS says most sincerely, "love you granny", when I produce Smarties.

TOB--It is so great to hear you are having a good time.

Bette--I am still shaking me head over the idea of a 7 hour shopping trip with inlaws AND a teenager.

Christine--49? Isn't that amazing?:-D

I have not seen Seasage, I enjoyed her posts too. I think it was a matter of being bullied but I could be wrong. She was also a really busy person and it may just be that.

Good Morning from Mississauga where it is going to be another hot and humid day.

Thank you for the prayers, etc. It was not one of my better days. Going into Toronto was a pain. There are so many new homes(condo's) in Mississauga that I ended up driving around three train stations before I could find a spot to park. The test went quickly however it caused extra heart beats (nothing dangerous) that I felt all night - cranky couch potato time. Actually it was couch to bathroom and back time as they tell you to drink lots and lots of water after the test.

I really enjoy the grandchildren stories. They are so innocent and loving - a true gift from God. All I have is the little one next door and since they are quite religious I don't feel comfortable offering her food.

Hope that everyone has a lovely day.

Nancy
