A Servant's Prayer

Jesus, MY Jesus... How marvelous your ways...
Far more splendid than my mind can envision. What an
honor to be chosen by you. A lowly child I am, but empowered
by the Holy Spirit to fulfill the great hope to which you have
called me. I give myself totally to you, Lord. Take my imperfect
heart and make it perfect. Peel away the hardness. Close the doors
I have opened to the temptations of this world. Gently remove the
roots of painful memories, sins, doubts and fears. Discard anything
that separates me from you. Lord, fill the emptiness with the light of
your love that I might be a beacon calling the lost back to you.

To love as you love...
To serve as you serve...
To heal as you heal...
To forgive as you forgive...
always mindful of my nothingness while doing
great and marvelous things in you name and for
you glory. This I pray, Jesus, in YOUR name.
Amen

Good Afternoon CER's!

I hope you don't mind me beginning another thread...

LINK to MICHELE's & WILMA's PICS! -->

I too had a lovely day yesterday... we went to church and then at around 2:00 we met our best buds and their daughters for lunch. They bought me a gift! I was so surprised!! A beautiful Book with stories and scripture along with a beautiful card... to say the least... I was touched! Also... my Joe picked up the tab for us (a first after our marriage ) --- let me explain, I usually take care of the finances, so Joe's checks go straight into our ck'ing acct. & I know exactly where all the $$ is and where it goes. So to make a long story, short... he has been saving $$ from the last few side jobs he's done, so that he could surprise me and "pay" for a meal or two totally surprising me And that he did!!! He also picked up a little trinket for me He knows how I enjoy small antique trinket boxes... this one has violets on the lid He's so sweet & made me feel very special

I called and spoke to my mother for almost an hour yesterday, she loved the Calla Lilies I sent her & enjoyed my call to her. She was going to go to her fav. restaurant for dinner, but she became ill --- flu, she thinks --- my poor mommy She said she was feeling better this morning, but was very ill yesterday. Now that could spoil a perfectly good day I really miss her...

*~*~*

Michele...Cool belt! Is that knitted or crochet?

Sunny...How fun for Joe to treat you. He was probably so excited to do that for you. Poor mom with the yuks yesterday. bummer, but glad she's feeling somewhat better today.

EZ...yummy in my tummy chinese. yeah, I wonder what your sig would look like. Doggy Daddy? You sound like a man with tons of energy.

Slow day here at work today. Paid my bills online today at lunchtime. Two paychecks...of the wind. They're long gone!

We had a selection of little books at church for the mom's to take home...I chose the one re men and what makes them tick! EZ...see, i do try. Actually, hubby and I have been at our best since his fall. Go figure! At church yesterday, I prayed with another couple (prayer team) re an attitude adjustment and to let go of the "woulda shoulda couldas" in life. Feeling much better about life after that and today. Praise God!

Well, gotta jet and ck in later.

Hey there MKay... Guess What!?? We have reached temps of 80* here today!!!
Can you believe it?!!! I can hardly stand it It just feels so nice!

I think it's wonderful that you are so open to change and improvement, MKay... and that you and hubby have been doing so well. Maybe his fall has taught him something too --- he needs YOU! There is always something to be learned in life with it's ups and downs, don't you think so? I think that change and improvement is something we *all* should do on a daily basis. Just to rededicate ourselves each morning to our Lord and the Life He wants us to live... therefore living our best life for Him each day. I try to, but not always successful... but I don't give up and neither do you --- good for you girl!!

*Hugs*

Quiet day here today... Where is everyone

I am so sorry I havent posted lately. I have been so sick, still trying to get over this bug. I am not sure what I have, but I am feeling better and back at work.

I hope everyones Mother's Day was wonderful. Mine was great! I woke up to my husband bringing me breakfast in bed and my children showering me with their hand made gifts (I just love those). Then we all went to church and the pastors wife preached a wonderful sermon to the mothers. Then we all received roses at the end of service. I then came home and took a nice nap. Then my mother took me to Salty's on Alki. It is a really nice restaraunt on the water and they have a Sunday brunch. All the crab legs, shrimp and coctail sauce, crepes, omlettes, and pasta (made to order), three tables of decadent desserts, and plenty more!! So needless to say, I stuffed myself with crab legs and shrimp and mamosa. Oh my goodness. There goes my extra points for the week! Then I came back home and spent time playing with my kids. Niya had a bunch of new gifts (her birthday party was on Sat.) so we played around with her new stuff.

Well I have been losing 2 lbs a week so far! Down 6 lbs!! I am so excited because it really hasnt been a struggle. I thought it would because I didnt think I had the time to keep track of all I eat, but it has worked out great!!

Sunny - I love all of the sigs. Very nice. What a sweet thing your husband did for you. Dont you just love surprises!! Your poor mom was sick for Mom's Day? Oh man, well I know just talking to you made her feel better. How could she not when she has the fabulous SUNNY D for a daughter!

margie B - Did I read that you went on a date? How was it? Where you able to connect again at a later date? Hope you had fun!!

michelle - what a beautiful belt!! You are very talented!

Sorry I cant respond to everyone this time. Got alot of work to catch up on. I will post again as soon as possible.

God Bless!!!

Sharing...

I watched an interview with Jim Caviezel (He played Christ in *The Passion*) this morning and they asked him how his visit went with Pope Paul... he said, "it went very well" and that he asked the Pope "if he knew that Jesus was Italian" The Pope shrugged and looked confused by what he said... so Jim repeated it and then went on to explain why he knew Jesus was Italian...

Jesus was Italian because:
1) he lived with his mother till he was 30
2) he hung out with the same 12 guys all his life and
3) his mother thought he was God

and the Pope's reply was: "and here I thought he was Polish"

PS>>> Joe changed his mind for dinner tonight...
he went to get Subway for dinner--- yum!

Ohhhhh Sunny...and the french toast and eggs sounded yummy...especially when a little of the syrup touches the eggs. Mmmmmm. We had healthy choice sausage with green pepper, onions, muchrooms, celery all cooked in a skillet with olive oil until moist. I may regret the onions and g. pepper later. Oh well, it was good.

Mnewton...gosh, so sorry you've been ill. Flu (throw up type) or cold, sinus? Glad to hear you're feeling better. Fun M-day for you. Even a nap huh? Wonderful. You must be rested today!

Well, going to go ck out what time the bachelor is on tonight.

Hugs!

It did sound good MKay,

and I had my taste-buds all set for it too, but he really wanted the Subway tonight, we'll have the french toast & eggs tomorrow night instead... no biggie I have a fresh loaf of sourdough bread for it too

Your dinner sure sounded delectable

Sleep well...

Hey all! Sorry I haven't been on lately, been *very* busy. My best friend since childhood who is currently on a student-exchange program in Hokkaido, Japan is moving to Tennessee as soon as she gets back in the U.S.!!!!!

So needless to say, I'm kind of upset, but it'll be okay. Also, my cousin moved out of her mom's (she's 22) and she has no job. So only the Lord knows how she'll pay for anything! But there's really nothing I can do, she's an adult now.

Thanks for the compliment Sunny you're such a sweetie!

Well, wrestling is on and I should probably go.....talk to you all tomorrow!!

Tuesday
Mima...Welcome and glad you found us. We are quite a bunch of Love bugs for the Lord.

Sunny...Hey I registered at Photobucket. What's photobucket? Kidding...I just don't know where to find cool graphics. Any tips?

The meal last night was delish but a little salty and I could feel myself puffing up later on.

Anyone watch the Bachelor? Good grief...talk about vanity. I'll take pushing 50 and nice on the inside!

Gotta go.
