How is it going for you and yours today, Dave. I've been very busy elsewhere, but I remembered again my very good friend Dave and this forum and decided to stop and see...and give God the glory!

Well received, my friend. It seems that no matter where and how far and how long I wandered away from this forum, you stand here solidly. Perhaps you take after Jesus, just a bit...

If it be His will [for 'me'] Brother John, then I am blessed to be able to carry on


We walk where He leads us, and become raised-up whenever we may stumble
~which is proof sufficient for me


Be blessed Brother

As one of those old songs says, "just one day at the time sweet Jesus".

Oh yes John Bro'

even, 'moment by moment'

Good Question!

Matthew 13:10-17
10 The disciples came to him and asked,
“Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
...
11 He replied,
“Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance.
Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
13 This is why I speak to them in parables:

“Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see
but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

After 54 years of smoking, tobacco [hand roller]
and four, VERY SERIOUS ATTEMPTS to quit [including aids (patches, spray and gum)]
I made the very comfortable SWAP, to E-cigs

Even doctors LIKE and recommend it

Thank you Ladies
I have been using them [instead] for many months now
[@ half of a year, or more]

AIS: I am, 'comfortable' with them [they fulfill all aspects of the 'habit']
without the harmful chemicals of tobacco
which, was less harmful than smoking ready-made cigarettes, anyway

“SMILE” Someone asked, “How does one Smile in their Pain?...”

1. Remember - the blessings throughout your life. Reflect on the good times when God delivered you from hardship.

2. Rejoice – in the promises of God! Like “If God is for you who can be against you.” “Nothing can separate us from the love of God.” Choose the path of joy.
...
3. Release – after you have done all you can, thrust your burden into God’s loving hands.

When we do this, a smile will fill our hearts and find its way to our face..."

" have a blessed day to all"

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.


― Mother Teresa

The Father says today that I am your way of escape.
I am that provision and I am that open door you are in need of.
Make your exit THROUGH ME and TO ME
in every temptation and every assault of the enemy.
Escape to Me says the Father for I am your exit strategy.
Wrath, anger and toil will no longer have their hold on you.
The flesh and the natural man is a cruel task master ...
that will exact the very last measure of energy and strength that you have.
Know that I am your deliverance and your safe harbor.

The dreams you have and hopes yet to be fulfilled find their safe keeping in Me.
Place yourself and your dreams in My care for I am caring for you.
I have catalogued every cry of your heart and inventoried every answer you require of Me.
In My arms it is safe to trust
and safe to know that the outcome is assured
and the longing of your heart is secure.

So go ahead says the Father.
Go ahead and dream a bigger dream.
I dare you to OUT-DREAM the dream that I have already dreamed concerning you.
Don't sell Me short or dream a small Lilliputian dream for I am not a God of small deliverances.
I am the God of greatness and I will do great things in you and great things through you.
This is your time says the Father.
Your salvation is not for another day.
Today is the day
and I am moving this day to manifest My hand
and demonstrate My heart in every area of your life.

“Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous;
love does not brag and is not arrogant,
does not act unbecomingly;
it does not seek its own,
is not provoked,
does not take into account a wrong suffered,
does not rejoice in unrighteousness,
but rejoices with the truth;
bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
Love never fails.”

~I Corinthians 13: 4-8
