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!

Just wanted to share this. I was so tired when I got home last nite, but I was encouraged when I found this among the 1000+ e-mails I had to filter through. When I get caught up with real life (T-4s, etc.) I will share my 3-week long experience serving God and others (as well as taking time for ourselves to enjoy the beauty of the country we visited) - there's nothing more rewarding & satisfying to the soul than to see tears of happiness & gratitude on folks maybe hearing/seeing the world around them clearly for the first time in a long while, or on an old widow's face who always dreamt that someone came to fix and paint her house but woke up every time to find it was just a dream...until 2 weeks ago when she woke up to find her dream come true with a mini-washing machine to boot, building a house of worship in 6 days ... truly seeing the hand of God at work ... I digress ... more later.

Sorry I missed you last night, ((((Christine)))). We had taken the grands to A&W (ugh!--but the oldest's favourite place) for dinner and brought them here to see some of the construction next door and of course, to the candy store. Oldest seems to be very sad and DD wanted to see if he would talk to us. He didn't, but seemed very relaxed just eating his dinner in peace. The youngest has discovered the word "poo" and thought he was very daring and amusing. We also were trying to give DD a couple of hours for herself. DSIL is away for a few days. We love spending time with them, but it wipes us out so I just did a quick fly-by here.

Isn't it wonderful having longer days of light? We have had to adjust our automatic lights to come on later. A good sign.

Prayers for all who want them.

I like A&W. I think their rootbeer is the best. If only they still sold it in iced glasses! Giving my age away!

I would ask you all to pray for the soul of my step-father, Ray. He was part of my life for 42 years and today we buried him.
Nikki: I remember when my younger brother learned the word "Barfer" from my Uncle Harry. It was "you're a barfer" or "what a barfer" for quite some time. My mother was not pleased with her brother, I can tell you that.
Blessings to all Susan

Just having a little giggle. Our pastor handed us a Lenten Self Denial sheet. It is to raise a little money for Mynmar (sp?). I notice today we are asked to put $.14 in for each year of our age and to praise God for the gift of life. DH & I are so old, we have to use a calculator. In our church, that particular request should really add up!

Sweet dreams, all.

Beautiful sunny (chilly) day here. When I was out and about today, we passed a small sheep farm--we saw several sets of twin lambs. Hold on everyone, Spring is actually coming after this long, long winter. I don't know about you, but I sure could use some light.

Hi Nikki, I thought it was spring here too - then the snow came again! Couldn't believe it - I mean after all, this is BC - we get the obligatory snowfall in Jan - then hey Sun is March after all - we should be seeing little green sprouts ! How nice to see lambs - must be really pretty where you live - in fact I know it is, we took the coastal road into Victoria one day, and I think Cadboro bay is along that way ! Lucky you !
