Truthful Tuesday mistaken?

Carol anne's avatarTherapy Bits

Have you ever been mistaken for somebody else?

The short answer? No!

I guess I don’t have any look alikes in the world.

I’ve never been mistaken for someone else.

Now, my PA Frances is always mistaken for another PA named Katie.

People come up to her and they say, hi, Katie!

Its kinda funny actually.

If I was mistaken for someone else, I’d be very shocked.

I think though, that if I was mistaken for someone else, I’d just be polite and engage with the person who was mistaking me.

Missing sweet Nitro!

Carol anne's avatarTherapy Bits

I miss the pitter patter

Of Nitro’s paws

On my hard wood floor

I miss him snuggling up to me

Putting his head in my lap

I miss his high fives

I miss his licks

He always knew just when I needed to be cheered up

I miss his presence in my life

And I miss having a dog

But I don’t want just any dog

The right dog will come along for me I know

At some point

But for now

I remember fondly

Everything about Nitro.

Pleasure in God’s sight

Kenneth's avatarChristian Devotions, Health and General issues of the day

Psalm 149 New International Version

Psalm 149

1Praise the Lord.[a]

Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.

2Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
3Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with timbrel and harp.
4For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.
5Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds.

6May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,
7to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
8to bind their kings with fetters,
their nobles with shackles of iron,
9to carry out the sentence written against them—
this is the glory…

Respect

Ephesians 6 New International Version

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honour your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”[a]

4 Fathers,[b] do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favour when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

If as a child you have been brought up in a Christian family or even in some cases non believers home, you will have no doubt been brought up to respect your earthly parents.

I like verse 4 where it gives a warning to parents not to anger or irritate your child but bring them up to know the Lord. I think that has got to be my favourite verse of this passage.

Yes we all can get annoyed with our offspring at times (mine is 27 now and still she drives me up the wall occasionally) but it doesn’t mean to say we love them any less. A year past in October Ii was the proudest man alive as my wee girl got married, though it wasn’t a Church do she was married in a hotel I still had the pleasure of walking her down this long corridor into the room where the wedding was held. I was one proud Dad

The difference between Poverty & Wealth

Kenneth's avatarChristian Devotions, Health and General issues of the day

Proverbs 10:4 New International Version

Photo by Chris John on Pexels.com

A Proverb from Solomon

4 Lazy hands make for poverty,
    but diligent hands bring wealth.

There is a lesson to be learned from this Proverb, especially if we have a family to provide for. We must not be like the lazy person and bring home poor wages.

No! we must do the exact opposite and be that person that is willing to work hard and bring in good wages to support our family.

Thankful Thursday 1st June

Carol anne's avatarTherapy Bits

Today, I am thankful for the nice weather we’ve been having. It is so nice to see sunshine when I wake up in the morning.

I am thankful for Trish, for Frances, my mom, my sister, in fact all of my family.

I am thankful for my fan which is keeping me cool.

I am thankful for books, music, and my tv.

I am thankful for good food, a warm house, and a hot shower.

And today, I am thankful to be alive.

Hated by all because of ‘My name’.

Yes, we more than overcome

In every trial and strain

For in the strife is when we run

To Him who knows our pain

I push into my God at night

I hide in Him all day

No matter what entails the fight

He is my hope and stay

Even though the wolves may prowl

To seek their prey fair game

Even though such hate does growl

Because we wear His Name

No matter if I’m cast away

And find myself alone

No matter what they all may say

To Christ I’m running home

For I can hide beneath His throne

At any time of need

And there He’ll take me as His own

My hand in His to lead

And so the fire and trials below

They push me higher still

Increasing though the battle grows

It is His perfect will

So my heart of trust it sees

My God amidst the pain

And overcome on wings so free

The weight of glory gains

Charles W.Fry

Short Name:Charles W. Fry
Full Name:Fry, Charles W., 1838-1882
Birth Year:1838
Death Year:1882

Charles William Fry United Kingdom 1838-1882. Born at Alderbury, Wiltshire, England, he was a bricklayer by trade, and was ultimately a successful building contractor, but also, like his father, a versatile musician, playing the violin, cello, piano, cornet, and harmonium. He lead and orchestra and band at the Wesleyan chapel in Alderbury. A Methodist, he also helped the Christian Mission in Salisbury. When he witnessed the abuse heralded against the Salvation Army when they established their ministry in 1878, he offered to serve as bodyguard for the Salvation Army workers. The next day Fry and his three sons showed up with their weapons, consisting of two cornets, a trombone, and a small tuba, which they played, in between fighting off the trouble-makers. Their music attracted a crowd for the preachers. Thus the first Salvation Army brass band was formed, and his family band accompanied Salvation Army founder, William Booth, in evangelism campaigns. Other musicians soon accompanied the Salvation Army band, and then, when William Booth saw how effective band music was, encouraged formation of other Salvation Army bands. Fry died at Glasgow, Scotland, the year after writing his hymn.
