Encouragement / Thought For The Day
Yes, Urs, I think this thread is a great idea; thanks for posting it! Sorry I didn't see this before now. I was on vacation last week, with very little access to the Internet; and ever since I got back on Sunday afternoon, things have been very hectic, with a LOT of catching up to do.No, I'm not in David's group --I'm in so many I sometimes feel just about "grouped to death," but not in that particular one. :-) (And really glad for you that your AC is functional again!)
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
If we give God the little that we have, we can trust Him to make it go around.

Hope you had a wonderful vacation! I certainly understand the getting back into the groove. We had just gotten back from vacation when we came home to no air. :/ Thank you! The blessings we notice when we don't have them, huh? ;)

It is God to Whom and with Whom we travel, and while He is the End of our journey, He is also at every stopping place.

Good. I'm glad. We did. :)
Urs wrote: "We did." Great; glad to hear that! If I recall correctly, I did see that post earlier, because it sounds familiar. (I think I just didn't answer it; some things get neglected when I've got a lot of irons in the fire, which I usually do! :-) )

WHY GOD GAVE US FRIENDS
GOD knew that everyone needs
companionship and cheer,
He knew that people need someone
whose thoughts are always near.
He knew that they need someone kind
to lend a helping hand.
Someone to gladly take the time
to care and understand.
GOD knew that we all need someone
to share each happy day,
to be a source of courage
when troubles come our way.
Someone to be true to us,
whether near or far apart.
Someone whose love we'll always
hold and treasure in our hearts.
That's Why GOD Gave Us Friends!

Be Aware!
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

But by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly”

Hey Werner,
I was thinking about some regular doses of good stuff for us around here! :D Would that be OK with you? I decided to jump in with this over at David's place---are you over there?--and thought it would be good for us, too. :) Let me know what you think, please. I was thinking at least four or five times a week.
I was kinda missing you--I've been kinda crazy, and went for EIGHT days with no A/C. :( Oh, boy, did I have to do a lot of praying for my attitude! ;) Hope all is well with you and yours! Take care!
