I wholeheartedly agree with you Angel' Sis'

Amongst the 'shadows' along the path, we also enjoy the 'lights'

I have two other Granddaughters, with whom I visited
I snapped pictures of them _but, and a little sadly, I regret, none, of us 'together'
I uploaded them to facebook album to be able to 'link' them here

My daughter Sharon, requested, that I remove, ALL, of the photos
that I took inside her home/ property
I was obliged to comply with her request, immediately

I can [in due course] 'lift' them, from their 'backgrounds'
and show them here as .png/.gif [transparent backgrounds]

I do of-course 'understand' the decision
her and her husband's 'reasoning' was founded upon
~retaining possession of, the 'hard-won'....
by preventing:
visual-'information leaks' [and.... 'heads-ups' to their 'friends']

What 'a worry' that, must-be, to them
That they may not 'like' their friends 'quite as much'
as they, might want their 'friends' to believe

What kind, of a 'friendship' is it ?
one, that gives you, mistrust, of those 'friends' ?
and what kind, of people would, in the first-place
nurture /culture, such nonfriendly relationships [friends]

I'll have-to about 'that' for them

We, all of us, have our paths and, our trials
and those lines, that we will not cross [if, we don't want-to]

Just be yourself, so that others can see...
how great it is to be, a 'good-person' instead

I once upon a time, sang in a High School Opera
'The Pirates Of Penzance'
"A Sailor-Boy" I sang solo
with Choral Choruses from the remainder of the cast
But no-way, was it important to me
to make the audience believe
that I was, a real sailor boy [on a ship]

It might, mean that she and I got 'seperated'
a great many 'intersections/crossroads' ago
We all have choices that we have-to make
Just, thinking, like, a Dad is all

She calls me Dad [with a hug and cheek peck]
but 'how-real' is our relationship? [her, and me]
and just how-much of it
has been a carefully 'manufactured' stage-set?

Renowned-for
'twisting' their Daddy's, around their 'little-finger' _ girls are!

I also spent time with kids and grandkids today. My 9 month-old grandson thinks papa is funny. I had a ball listening to him laugh today.

((hug))

I had a wonderful time, in Bristol
Next time, I will take the car, because bus services, within my Family's area
are severely LIMITED to 'mornings only'
and truly adds to, mobility problems, for older folks

The Native Americans, really knew, how-to take care of their old folks
SHAME!!!! on the FAT CATS cutbacks on services, whilst upping their salaries!!!!

That is a special gift...what joy a baby's laughter brings (or the appreciation of an older grandchild)

Cheerfulness
Gratitude, Thankfulness, Joyfulness, Appreciation

Wow...very cool Dave

I love you too my friend

 

[nChrist]

Amen - Very Nice!

My thoughts right now:

Romans 5:1-2 KJV Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Romans 15:4-7 KJV For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

Ephesians 1:15-23 KJV Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Colossians 1:24-27 KJV Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: 25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

I especially like Colossians 1:24-27!

 

[davedajobauk]

Amen and Amen!

I'm reading a portion of Scripture that I love and want to share it with you:

Ephesians 2:4-7 KJV But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

I am busy working in the garden at the moment. I am making a big effort to get it all tidied up before the October wind and rains come. October is also when we are hoping to be away on holiday so I need to get as much done in the garden as possible before we go.


Blessings

Your trip is coming up fast, Ley!
At least the hurricane probability now DECREASES with each passing day, here....so that won't really be a concern.
I just hope you catch some foliage; it may be decent where the storms haven't affected the leaves too much
