Hi my friends! How are you? Great I hope........me too.
Things to remember:
YOUR OBEDIENCE TODAY DETERMINES YOUR BLESSINGS TOMORROW.
sin is when we desire our will above God's will.
HE STAYS QUIET AND WATCHES AS
WE EITHER FOLLOW HIS LEAD AND GROW,
OUR IGNORE HIM AND FALL.
FAITH in God is: YOUR CONFIDENCE, TRUST AND BELIEF IN HIM
THAT IS NOT BASED ON PROOF;
IT IS BEING SURE OF WHAT YOU HOPE FOR
AND CERTAIN OF WHAT YOU HAVEN'T SEEN.
**********************************************************************************
FYI:
TODAY IN 1886 THE STATUE OF LIBERTY WAS DEDICATED.
**************************************
God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone,
but on trees, and flowers, and clouds, and stars. -Martin Luther

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!.......Blessings!-Missygirl*

Good Morning everyone! I read this yesterday and I think you'll like it, so here we go:
As my friend Roger Weber started the 2006 Chicago marathon, he noticed something on the ground. It was a runner's chip -the device each runner puts on his or her shoe to record progress at various timing stations during the race. Apparently, one poor runner would be traversing the next 26.2 miles on foot with nothing to show for it.
Officially, that runner did not run the race. There would be no record of his participation. Even if he had finished the race in record time, it wouldn't have mattered. The folks who organize the race set the rules, and no matter how well someone runs, if the officials say the runner doesn't qualify, that's the way it is. In one sense, that's also the way it is for all of us. We can run what appears to be a good race by doing good things for others and obeying lots of rules. But when we arrive at the final checkpoint -heaven- and haven't made sure our name is recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life by putting our faith in Jesus as our Savior, we're disqualified to enter.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6) Are you trusting in Jesus? If not, you're running for nothing. -Dave Brannon
It's not what I achieve that qualifies,
It matters not if I gain wealth or fame;
The only thing I must be certain of
is "Have I put my trust in His Son's name?" -Hess
If we could earn our salvation, Christ would not have died to provide it.
**********************************
I noticed that it's snowing here in Denver, Colorado today for the first time this autumn season. I took pictures last year on the day of our first snowfall of the autumn season and it's hard to believe, (when I told my husband, he hardly believed it) it was also October 21st! Wow... I can only wonder if that's any indication that this winter might be similar to last year. We'll have to just wait and see. The snow is picking up in pace now, we were told 1-3 inches expected today.*

I wanted to remind everyone, don't forget to change the filter on your heater. My husband went down into the cellar and changed ours and I was really surprised at how full of dirt and dust it was. It's so simple to turn on the heater but when that nice warm heat is coming through, for your own family and pets it's good that the the air coming out is as clean as we can get it. The house even smells fresher. It's especially good to do if anyone in the home has asthma. Our filter was purchased at Home Depot and it was only a few bucks. Not expensive at all. When you remove the old one it has the size written on it. They come in different sizes.*
