Congratulations on your anniversary Cynthia and OH :-D <3

Rose xxx

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary Cynthia. And thank you for the bible reading, a version of which was read at our wedding almost 53 years ago.

Across the front of our Baptist church were the words Love Never Faileth. I remember sitting at looking at that phrase through many a service when I was young.

Thank you kind people........... :-)

Congratulations Cynthia :-)

Cynthia, Happy Anniversary to you and your OH.

Very many congratulations to you and hubby.

The reading is familiar but it was good to read it and be reminded of the words once again. Thank you Cynthia.

I hope you both have a wonderful day surrounded by much love.

Good morning Cynthia and happy anniversary to you
both.
Your passage from the Bible also brought back memories
for me, a long time since I had read it.

Cynthia, congratulations and happy anniversary to you and your husband.

Your passage from the Bible today brought back many memories for me. It was our "school reading" and I heard it in assembly the first and last day of every term for 7 years.

Thank you
Vera

Those are lovely words to start the day with Joy. Thank you. :-)


As today is my 45th wedding anniversary, I thought I would share with you the very familiar bible reading which is used at many church weddings. The words say it all........ :-)


The Gift of Love

If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.

It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends.

But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.

For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end.

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.

And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

Thank you. :-)


Dear God,

I welcome the new day.

May I not rush around so much that I miss the beauty that is all around me.

May I thank one person today.

May I smile more than I frown.

May I think loving thoughts more than self defeating thoughts.

Thank you for this day!

Amen

Cynthia, I have sent you a PM :-)

I quite like that Joy :-)


Had a further read....I do like that one too Cynthia :-)

Ann... .... that's good.


If anyone has any favourites, please feel free to post or give me an idea of what they like, and I'll see what I can find. :-)


I've realised that John hasn't posted on here since 25th - in fact, I'm not sure I've seen him around for a day or so....has anyone else? :-S

I do like that :-)

Now the light has gone away;
Saviour, listen while I pray.
Asking Thee to watch and keep
And to send me quiet sleep.

Jesus, Saviour, wash away
All that has been wrong today;
Help me every day to be
Good and gentle, more like Thee.

Let my near and dear ones be
Always near and dear to Thee.
O bring me and all I love
To Thy happy home above.

Yes I have seen that one and it is brilliant, one of my favourites is A Rose is a Rose. There are several on there that I like.

Glad you liked it.

Thank you Ginnie... :-)

The words are brilliant. :-D :-D

Hello,

Some years ago a member put up a site called

www.andiesisle.com

it has some lovely uplifting words and songs on there, I visit it sometimes and always feel peaceful when I am listening to the music on there.

I hope you like it if you decide to visit there.

:-) thank you Cynthia.

Good morning - although it isn't much like June where I am..... :-S


For those who are feeling discouraged................



When we feel we have nothing left to give
And we are sure that the “song has ended”,
When our day seems over and the shadows fall
And the darkness of night has descended -
Where can we go to find the strength
To valiantly keep on trying,
Where can we find the hand that will dry
The tears that the heart is crying?

There’s but one place to go and that is to God
And, dropping all pretense and pride,
We can pour out our problems without restraint
and gain strength with Him at our side.
And together we stand at life’s crossroads
And view what we think is the end,
But God has a much bigger vision
And He tells us it’s only a bend.

For the road goes on and is smoother,
And the “pause in the song” is a “rest”,
And the part that’s unsung and unfinished
Is the sweetest and richest and best–
So rest and relax and grow stronger,
Let go and let God share your load,
Your work is not finished or ended,
You’ve just come to “a bend in the road”.
