Thanks, I have about 3 hours left to go.

 

[zen1]

3 hours is not to bad, but then again when you are not feeling well it can seem like forever. I just saw your countdown clock and it says that you are going to Universal on memorial day weekend, that sounds like so much fun! I bet I know one thing that you are going to see for sure, the Ghostbuters show!

 

[Princess Michelle]

You got that right! I think I'll go watch flyfly's video, that will help me feel better. Love shack baaaabbbbyyyy....

 

[zen1]

You are to funny!

 

[Otto's Doll]

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around much, life sure gets hectic when spring arrives! I have been thinking of ALL of you, and keep you in my prayers.
Tash, how are you? Jill... good to see you! I hope you feel better soon. Sarah, Thanks again for the great mug



I have journeyed
Through the long dark night
Out on the open sea
By faith alone
Sight unknown
And yet His eyes were watching me

The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm

I’ve had visions
I’ve had dreams
I’ve even held them in my hand
But I never knew
They would slip right through
Like they were only grains of sand

The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm

I have been young
But I am older now
And there has been beauty these eyes have seen
But it was in the night
Through the storms of my life
Oh, that’s where God proved
His love to me

The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm

Hi Jeanne! I know what you mean about hectic!

Michelle, sorry you had such a bad day...I hope you're home and resting now. Praying for you

I have a favor to ask of anyone who reads this...

I got a message on my machine from my niece, Jess...she calls me a lot. Well, she didn't sound so good and I'm worried ... I just tried to call her back and I can't reach her. Please pray for her. I have to go to a program at my son's school in about 45 minutes and I won't be able to try to reach her again until later so if you would, please pray she will be ok until I can talk to her.

Thank you to anyone who gets a chance to pray in the next couple of hours for this.
-Jill

Jill, I'm praying for Jess right now. Let us know as soon as you talk to her.

Hey Jeanne! Good to see you.

What can be done
With an old heart like mine
Soften it up
With oil and wine
The oil is You
Your Spirit of love
Please wash me anew
In the wine of Your blood

Please wash me anew
In the wine of Your blood</Font>

Jilly, I am praying. Hi , hope you are feeling better.

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee.

You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee.

You're my Friend and You are my Brother
Even though You are a King
I love You more than any other
So much more than anything.

You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee .

I want you more than gold or silver
Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye.

You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee.

 

[Otto's Doll]

Hey Fur!


am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

 

[Otto's Doll]

One of my favorites...

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.

Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessèd Trinity

Hi Jeanne

 

[JC2]

I have a question for you guys. What does it mean to "keep the sabbath"? I have been thinking about this today, and I'm not really sure I know.

 

[zen1]

Pray/Avalon

Another day just the same
Another night, still no change
Caught in the middle of
Where I am and where I should be
Inside I whisper Your name
Outside I barely maintain
Without Your strength in my life
I'm a lost soul, Lord please send Your...

Rain
Wash away the
Pain
Take away the
Blame
I'm callin' out your name

Lord, I pray
Help me find a way
Way back to you
I'm on my knees beggin' You please
Every time I stumble
Lord, I pray
Help me find a way
Way back to You
You sacrificed, paid with Your life
Gave me the right
Lord, I pray

I know I'm weak and You are strong
You give me faith to hold on
Lord, help me see that I'm stronger
When I'm down on my knees
'Cause that's where the power begins
Your boundless strength has no end
No matter what comes my way
I'll persevere if I just...

Pray
It's the strength You give me
Pray
It comes so freely
Pray
I'm callin' out Your name, so...

Down on my kness I find you
Leavin' this world behind, and You
Always hear me when I
Need some answers, and I
Just can't seem to make it through
And I'm not sure what I should do
That's when I close my eyes
And, Lord, I pray

 

[Otto's Doll]

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see so clearly

Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Chorus

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing Your praise
Than when we first begun

I just got off the phone with my niece. She is OK, but struggling still. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS!! I was able to go out and know that people were praying over her and that she was covered in prayer! The family counseling she is doing with her parents is not going well so she has a hard time after those sessions. She will be staying with Dan and me this summer 3-4 days a weekfrom mid-May through July and I know that God is leading in this. SHe does need to deal with the family issues but she also needs breaks where she is encouraged, supported and spiritually fed.

Thanks so much for your prayers, again!!!!


Jen, I think that keeping the sabbath means to set aside God's day of rest for rest, worship, fellowship with Him and other believers, and focusing on renewal. I know that it is felt by some that the sabbath must be on a Sunday. Since this is when most churches meet for worship and fellowship, it makes sense. But I think there are times when "your" Sabbath and "keeping it Holy" (set aside for God, cannot coincide with everyone's else's. I know that working in ministry, I WORK on Sundays! Many others do also. I have found that if I don't seek a "Sabbath" rest at another time on a routine basis, than it affects my whole life. God's laws are beyond our keeping , however, they were set up more than just for showing us where we fall short...they are God's perfect way for us to live! So When GOd asks us to set aside time for rest and to worship with Him, we are onlydoing His perfect plan for us by obeying that command and keeping it sacred. One reason I am looking into another job is to try to take hold of a "Sunday Sacred time" again. In the past I had found other times and ways to keep the Sabbath but as of late I have not been able to do it and FORGET about doing it Sundays in my current position!!! SO, I need to make a change for me to be happy and living life in God's design. It is just as sacred as to remain faithful to your love in marriage and when we are neglectful of keeping the Sabbath, it hurts us just the same as if we were being unfaithful in our marriages.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not lecturing! I have known many people to struggle with this with jobs and sporting events and kids' scedules, vacations....it can be a difficult thing to do. But I have come to learn its importance to me and to even asking God to move me if I am not where I should be in regards to this plan of His for me to rest and be renewed and INDEED BLESSED by HIM! I hope this makes sense...writing it out has actually helped me here tonight and God has spoken to ME with my own words and cleared up a foggy place for me through your question! AMEN to our AWESOME FATHER!

 

[Hemi-mom]

My church has a Nursery School and Kindergarten that meets there and in the Kind. room they have the written out the Ten Commandments simply stated for a child to understand. I think I'm going to write them down the next time I am in there and I'll post them here!

 

[zen1]

Hi Jilly, I am so glad that Jess is all right. And I will keep her in my prayers.

And thanks Jeanne for all the wonderful songs!

Hi Jen!
