"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, through for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this' While we were still sinners Christ died for us.
Romans 5: 6 - 8 (NIV)

Monday Musings ... cousins
"Cousins are people that are ready made friends, you have laughs with them and remember good times from a young age, you have fights with them but you always know you love each other, they are a better thing than brothers and sisters and friends cause they are all pierced together as one. "

Love one another
"Owe nothing to anyone - except for your obligation to love
one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements
of God's law. For the commandments say, "You must not commit adultery. You
must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet. " These and other
commandments are summed up in one commandment: "Love your neighbor as
yourself." Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements
of God's law.
This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is
running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer than now than when we first
believed. The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So
remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of
right living. Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for
others to see. Don't participate in the darkness of wild parties and
drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling
and jealousy. Instead clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus
Christ. And don't let yourself think about how to indulge your evil
desires.
Romans 13: 8 -14 (New Living Translation)

Pet of the week, Caison
Susan is the scribe for this week's pet, Caison.
"Hi. My name is Caison. My mommy lost her pure bred Border Terrier a few months earlier and was looking for a rescue. As my breed in relatively rare, I am hard to find. I was in a shelter in Tennessee. Mom started out the next morning calling the shelter to ensure that I was still there. By 11 am the next day, I saw my mom and started wagging.
I may have some Irish Terrie in me, as I am a mixed breed. If I say so myself, I am very intelligent and obey my family quite well.
I do love greeting company, however, and much to Mom's dismay my excitement over rules her desires. Thank goodness I soon settle down and able able to be with everyone."

Friendship Friday
Our friendship is a study in contrasts. She is a the daughter of Italian immigrants. I'm a fifth generation Hoosier. As a descendants of slaves, my family history is limited to the 1800's. Angela is a native New Yorker. I'm a product of rural American. Angela is tall, thin, and blonde. Well, ... I am not.
Yet, I love that we have much in common. We are wives, mothers, grandmothers, friends, Mah Jongg players, and most importantly we are Christians.
When my daughter was pregnant, she faithfully prayed for her. At our lunch earlier this week, I shared new pictures of my granddaughter. Yes, she commented, "She is beautiful." I thanked her for her prayers during her pregnancy . She, said, " I still pray for them." I am grateful that she continues to pray for them.
I love friends that pray. Which one of your friends do you share your prayer concerns?

Tasty Tuesday
"It's a wonderful time when you sit down around the table for dinner and discuss life. No matter where you are, it gives the semblance of normalcy to my crazy world."
Melina Kanakaredes
I am savoring the joy of last weekend's BSF Retreat in Cincinnati. In the midst of a chaotic news cycle, this weekend was like an oasis to be with other believers.
There were over 4, 000 women and men who attended this retreat. Can you image the behind the scenes details of the catering company? This is one of the banquet halls where meals were served.
Meals are a wonderful way to connect with others.
Who will you call and invite to share a meal together?
