• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Sounds like a good plan Dave :)
I do know how heavy those barrels are ~ we have then for our rubbish/recycle too, and it is a real workout for me to lug it up our long, steep driveway :p

Praying for your upcoming surgery ~ safety, comfort, and healing :hug: :crossrc:

I love your post, Shirley ~ so pretty, bright, and 'springy' :D

Have a great weekend everyone :wave:

Dave, Sorry that this whole ordeal had to happen when you already have enough on your plate. I'm sure that our prayers (and your sensitivity)will cause this issue with your neighbors to result in the Glorification of our Lord. I will also be praying for a successful op and a speedy recovery.
P.S. Don't suture self! ;)

My camera will be another 6 weeks or so...here's the final version of "The Riviera" taken with my son's cell phone. Sorry that it's not as sharp as usual. Thanks for looking.

:thumbsup: Gail Sis'

Any 'plan', is only as-good as one's resolution ~to see it-through, to completion

Thank you for your good wishes for my surgery, safety and healing :hug: :hug:

I will have-to 'turn up my collar' to defy the 'chill winds' blowing in here from the west [?]
They are truly 'cyclical' and, just keep coming around, again and again

Please 'pray' for me, as I wish to make good use of, God's Armour

:hug: Thank you Shirley Sis'

The reason for
having those bins, where, the neighbours could reach them
was to avoid, my having to pull them up those steps in the front garden

But hopefully my hernia will be repaired on Tuesday [next]
and Mary will help me until I have completely recovered

:thumbsup:

your Bro'

I understand...our dumpster is very heavy...a special truck with fork lifts has to pick it up...we used to fill it with horse manuer...I have thought of stopping this extra service, it is not cheap.

I was wondering about your surgery...finally, I hope and pray for a speedy recovery and for expert handling of your case.

Jesus said to them again,
“Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”
John 20:21

Howard Hendricks, the noted Bible scholar
and now retired professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, once said,
“The greatest threat to Christianity is not Communism or atheism.
It is Christians trying to get into heaven incognito
without being involved in sharing their faith with others
or serving the Lord with their whole hearts.”

Robert Louis Stevenson said,
“The cruelest lies are often told in silence.”
The fact is that the greatest sin of the average Christian is the sin of silence.
And the cruelest lie of all is to know the Lord Jesus and never tell anyone about it!

God has given you the Good News to share and be a witness to others
of His grace shown through Jesus Christ.
As a Christian, you are chosen of God and commanded of God to share your faith with others.
There’s just no other way about it!
So instead of being silent, tell others about Christ.
I’m not telling you to stand on the street corners and condemn people.
But love others who are in your life today with the love of Jesus
and share His truth with them.
When you’re obedient to God’s call to give away your faith,
you’ll be fulfilled as you live out what you’re called to do!

An excellent message Bro' Robert

What a blessing to be a part of this group....thank you all for the encouragement with regard to my paintings. It's hard to believe that I spent over 50 years not even knowing that I could paint! God's gifts are not exclusive to the young and strong. So my dear Eagles, delve into the unknown for there may very well be an awesome gift there that God has placed there for you to find.

I have a poem that I would like to share.
Have a blessed weekend dear family of God online.


I am a Wildflower

by Yvie L. on Sunday, July 24, 2011 at 1:33pm ·​

I am a wildflower, young and strong.
In poor, dry soil is where I belong.
My petals are as lovely as a prize-winning rose.
My dwelling place - a field where no one really goes.

I have no wealth about me
nor do I thrive in such,
for my beauty and my fragrance
do not require much.

The thistles and the thorns
are my neighbors and my friends.
We share and bear the portions
of sun and sod and rain.

And when my life is over,
just before I go,
a pod swells up inside of me
and falls into the snow.

I am a wildflower, dead and gone.
In cold, wet snow is where I belong.
I may not be as brawn as the fir at Yuletide cheer,
but my petals will be lovely sometime later on next year.

The sting of death can do no wrong
or so it seems to me.
I am a wildflower, young and strong
and evermore shall be.

And you too my dear sister in the Lord.....you have to know something that I've been meaning to tell you...I came to this forum wounded, crushed even, after being in a forum that persecuted Christians with vulgar words...I stayed (3 months) because I thought that I could win even one soul by staying....I left because I was having chest pains from the abuse. The first person who brought tears of relief to my eyes was you! You welcomed me with blessings and love and encouragement. You did not judge me, you did not make me feel like I did something wrong. I found healing here, thanks to you Gail! I can never thank you enough for being instrumental in my spiritual growth. God bless you and keep you. All my love,

Hi Birdie, we are going to a BDay party this afternoon...the one that was postponed last weekend.

I made pancakes for our breakfast...there will be some kind of catered "table" served at this party. Mary Ellen still is in the dark about the whole thing...I think. :)
