Nice..

Peter 1:24,25 .....For all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

A Psalm for the day...

Psalm 37

~~~

1 <[A Psalm] of David.> Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be].

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such as be of upright conversation.

15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

16 A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD [shall be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

22 For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.

25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

26 [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is] blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

31 The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].

35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37 Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the end of [that] man [is] peace.

38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

39 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is] their strength in the time of trouble.

40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Happy birthday bro. Allen!

Hope you enjoy your day! You don't look a year past 50. (Just kidding)

Pictures of Steve...

Hello, I trust you are all doing well. I have a few pictures here that I have been wanting to post but i had to wait for my scanner to get up and running again. Sister Pat was kind enough to supply me with some photographs of her husband Steve; since he is so fond of posting pictures of Pat on his blog we thought it was time to do the same for him. Please feel free to comment on these pics; all feedback welcome. Have a great day.

Putting God first...

I came across the following story while browsing through a website and I wanted to share it with you. It made me think on 2 scripture verses that have been on my mind lately; Psalm 37 verses 4 & 5. We need to put the Lord first in our lives and he will take care of our needs.

Paid In Full

~
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box.
Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angry, he rose his voice to his father and said "with all your money, you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, a sudden feeling of sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still gift-wrapped Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully underlined a verse, Matt.7:11, "if ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in Heaven, give good things to them that ask Him?"
As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss God's blessings because we can't see past our own desires?

Psalm 37:4,5 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.

Family pictures

My 2 sisters and there kids came over from england. Here are some pictures......

Linda and my mum. My little nephew matthew
Here is Louise. It's been 2 years since i last seen her.

Anybody want some fruit salad?

Please pray for them; they need to get saved.

That's all for now. Have a great day.

I haven't been able to update for a little while and i don't know if i will be able to over the next few days. Things have been kinda hectic this week. I got a phonecall yesterday to say that my mom was taken to hospital by ambulance. She had taken chest pains and was short of breath along with other symptoms. Anyway they let her home just this evening and she has to go for a scan of her neck in about 3 weeks time to see if she has a blocked artery. I would appreciate your prayers for her and i am grateful that she is feeling better today. It just goes to show that you never know what a day will bring. Like the scripture says in Proverbs 27:1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. I am glad that the Lord sees the bigger picture and we can be sure that God will always be there to help his children when hard times come. That's all for now. God Bless.

New Bathroom...

Here are the pictures i said i would post.
~~~

This one was taken after the walls were stripped......

Under construction.....

And finally the end result of all that hard work........

Did you notice the bath under the window in the first picture?

I have to admit I am really pleased with the new bathroom. There was never much room the way it used to be but now there is a lot more room. It's very nice.

The shower still has to be wired though but that will be getting done tomorrow.

So what do you think????
