FRIDAYS ENTRY # TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED THREE

" Begin the day with God."

Good Morning.

How are you feeling on this Friday morning, you can go ahead and smile our day of rest, relaxing and renewing will soon be here, and I do need it real bad. There is a verse in the bible that goes something like this ( I am going to let you look it up.) " There is more on our side than there is against us." That is a wonderful promise, but we ourselves have to keep true to God to claim that promise for our own.

Dad's Smile Album

I have not said very much about myself this morning, I can't say that I am in a Happy mood, more like a weak smile mood, but I feel like things are going to improve as the day goes on. Everything has worked so well this morning as I try to write this journal, I have not been bothered by any early maintenance work and it has been a pleasure to be here with you.

So to keep my promise to you to keep these journals I am going to leave you for a little while. I do hope to see you in the early morning. Just make yourself at home here, you know where every thing is here it is for you to enjoy today, but I do want it back in time to write on Saturday morning.

" Hold fast thy confidence, lay not thine armour down."

How are you feeling on this Thursday morning . I hope that you can hardly wait to get out of bed and to your job, am I wrong, I have been before.

I have news for you, I am not that complaining old man that talked to you yesterday morning, I can even say that my mood is Happy. My feet are so much better and I am convinced that doctor D.W' knew what he was doing, I think that I will keep him.

I wonder what kind of a mood Sara, Misty and Oreo are in this morning, I hope that can say with me Happy. The only way to find out for ourselves is to go to Sara's Dog Training blog and Sara will tell us all we need to know, You are doing a wonderful job Sara, and I am glad that I know you and count you as my friend.

WEDNESDAYS ENYRY # TWO THOUSAND ONE

" Begin, Continue and finish the day with God "

Good Morning
.
I am going to ask about you first this Wednesday morning, I do hope that all is going good so far this morning, and we hope that it contiues through the day, I must say that I am O.K. but not really could I say that I am in a happy mood. My feet have been giving me trouble, and I have been receiving treatment from my doctor, and some of his treatment is not so pleasant.
.
Maybe I can't complain to much about my feet. they have served me for 98 years, and that is a lot of mileage, can you think of many things that you are bying these days with a waranty that good.
.
I have been wishing that Sara could have some better weather, so much snow and rain, we enjoy seeing the pictures of Misty and Oreo playing in the snow, let's go to Sara's Dog Training blog and see what they are doing. I hope that they are peeking out from a warm blanket. You must not miss this today, the video of Misty and Oreo putting clean clothes away are wonderful. How do you make such good Videos, we need to hire you to give us some lessons. DAD.

It is time for me to go, I have enjoyed visiting this little while with you. Even though I haved grumbled and complained all the time. But I will tell you what I think, all us older people should have a license to grumble, When we are gone you are going to miss us, and you will have the priviledge of think back on all the good times that we had together.

TUESDAYS ENTRY # TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED

" Live for others every day, 'tis the true the better way"

Malachi 3:3 says: 'He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.'
.
This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God ..
.
One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says:

He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.'
She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time..
The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, 'How do you know when the silver is fully refined?'
He smiled at her and answered,

" Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it."
.
If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.

Good Morning.

This above is very good, it was sent to me by a friend J. M, I do not know the author but I do want to say thank you to some one. DAD.

This below is a very interesting story, take the time to read it. It was sent to me by my friend John C. I do not know the author but Thanks to some one.

DAD
.
A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives in his company together.He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you." The young executives were Shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO."One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed.He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing. By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however, he just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the seed to grow.A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful -- in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives.Jim just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees and flowers you have grown," said the CEO. "Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!"All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front. Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!" When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed - Jim told him the story. The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next Chief Executive Officer! His name is Jim!" Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed."How could he be the new CEO?" the others said.Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive Officer!"*
..
If you plant honesty, you will reap trust * If you plant goodness, you will reap friends* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment* If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective* If you plant hard work, you will reap success* If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliations, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.
.
Think about this for a minute....
If I happened to show up on your door step crying, would you care? If I called you and asked you to pick me up because something happened, would you come? If I had one day left to live my life, would you be part of that last day?
If I needed a shoulder to cry on, would you give me yours? This is a test to see who your real friends are or if you are just someone to talk to you when they are bored.
.
Do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes? They blink together,
they move together, they cry together,
they see things together,
and they sleep together, but they never see each other;
....that's what friendship is..
.
Your aspiration is your motivation, your
motivation is your belief,
your belief is your peace,
your peace is your target,
your target is heaven, and life is like hard core torture without it! It's 'World Best Friends Week' Who is your best friend? Send this to all your good friends, even me, if I am one of them. See how many you get back. If you get more than 3 then you really are a lovable person... Save the Earth.... it's the only planet with chocolate!!!!
.
I am sure that you have noticed that all of the usual links are not in this Saturday journal, you can find most of them in the side panel, Dad.
.
Since this is Saturday I should have quit a long time ago, to late now. I hope to see you early Monday morning.

"O Lord, Thy sea is so great and my boat is so small."

Good Morning.

" Wake up this friday morning. A new word in your mind.Wake up this friday morning. Determined to be kind. A little smile of welcome. Some friendly word you say. Will make the man you are meeting. Feel better all the day."
,
MAKING A GARDEN
.
" Man plows and plants and digs and weeds . He works with hoe and spade. God sends the sun and rain and air, And thus a garden's made. He must be proud who tills the soil. How wonderful a thing to be. In partnership with God.

These two poems above were taken fron a book Verses I Like, but the author is unknown to me. DAD.
.
I love poetry and the two above were what I needed this morning, they seem to direct my thoughts in the righe direction.

I hope that all is well at your house, and that you are able to get out of that bed and hit the trail, ( not right now, you can rest a few more hours) But as you can see I am up already had one cup of coffee and will need one more, and don't forget today is Friday, rest comming soon.
