Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Happy New Year, Kook (OK if I call you that?!)
I Want that painting! It looks like my sweet Lordy and Olive. Sigh.

Wow!
Fantastic artwork. Very humbling really. I have saved the site.

Soaz, Happy and Blessed New Year to you and your family. Beautiful photo. Thank you.
Thank you patty. I watched Guy Lombardo every New Year with my family or listened to it, growing up. Brings back wonderful memories. A perfect choice for today.
Mat your New Year be Blessed, Prosperous and Happy.
Guy Lombardo! Damn.
The quintessential Guy Lombardo.

This is a bit too loud. You might want to turn it down a bit—it sounds much better that way. And, of course, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Happy New Year, Garrison,.. may this be a spectacular year for you and all of the Treepers

Happy New Year!
A bless-ed New Year I pray for you, Garrison, and every soul in our remarkable Tree. And for our beloved pets in whatever guise they may be who keep us company and make life a lot smoother. S
urely God knew what He was doing when he created them 💕
I can relate on occasional mornings!
Sometimes two is enough for me. Other times? Well…..👍🏻
I don’t know about anyone else, but works for me every time 😊
So…. Crew and I and my boat are rescued at sea by the US Coast Guard and towed to safety….
After a nights recovery rest anchored out we head to the dingy dock which is full so we move to a commercial pier which is pretty high. I timed the rise of the dingy on the waves to step out upon the pier.
I timed wrong and fell flat on my face on the pier directly in front of all the waterfront bars and restaurants….LOL
I did the only thing possible.
I jumped up, stretched my arms in triumph, and said TA DA!
People were laughing up and down the waterfront and I received applause and many offers for drinks and conversation.
The moral of the story.
When you screw up big time in public own it and embrace it and the world will be with you!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!! 😂
A quick thinking recovery, mycroft. I applaud your ability to think at all under the circumstances. Well done you!!
Fall and laugh at your own misjudgment, the world laughs with you…not AT you…then buys you a drink. Excellent. The conversation would be for me the icing on that cake 😁👍🏻💕
Ohio boy runs off and buys a sailboat in the Caribbean…
What could possibly go wrong ?
Everything!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
I visualized the whole thing mycroft! You were spectacular!!! 😁
Thank you. 😉
I do lead an interesting life
🙂
LOL, they all do it at some time when they’ve been naughty.
He’s hired!!!
That is funny! Pretty dog.
Oh, No you’re not. I’ll hand you this!
Hahahaha!!! Oh bless him, sis 💕
Pugs a re so cute! I’ve got a broad smile on my face for this little guy.
I had a friend that had four yorkies. They may be little but boy they have a giant attitude! Loved them and dog sat for her.
She was the one that had the beer drinking pot bellied pigs that raised a ruckus if you did not give them their beer after they came into their shelter for the night.
😂 😂 😂!!
My sister in law had 5 Norfolk terriers who had the run of her small holding. Full of energy, but quite bark-y. Perhaps not as vocal as beer drinking pot bellied pigs however 🤔😁
Two beautiful chocolates to love.
Just as I imagine it 💕
Oh yes, yes, yes!
I loved best the dog hanging over the escalator to Heaven, the one with his tongue hanging out 💕
No paternity test needed.
Reminds me of the dog in the “Our Gang” series. He hung around Spanky most of the time.
Wish I could remember his name…
Pause…
Looked it up!!
Petey!!!
Whoopsie, he got that wrong now didn’t he.
😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣
0ur border collie, Kemosabe, with our granddaughter, who is now 33. (he herded all the grandchildren!)
That smile you have, before you’ve ever lost a dog …….
Part of the blessing having dogs, cats …. cannot imagine the reunions ….
Happy New Year, Poyeema!
My first tears shed for 2026. Thanks soaz. Can not wait for the great reunion.
Oh, Pat
Been there a few times already – always the animals!
My very good friend from grammar school in CT called. We talked 2 hours – her old pup, Rudy just passed, so that started the whole waterworks. 😢
Such a sweet picture. Yes, pure instinct, sheep, cows, or children. Makes no difference.
I had a friend in Phoenix that had a Newfoundland and when her grandchildren would carryon in their pool, the dog would drag them out of the pool thinking they were in trouble.
Later she had an English Sheep Dog named “Cid Arthur” that would climb in my lap if I sat on the floor! She loved big dogs!
Where have the years gone????
Such sweet faces, the both of them, Corny.
Oh to have had a pause button 😪
Don’t know, Bets. I know most folk probably focus on the future on New Years Day. For me, nostalgia reigns!
Oh Betsy, this gave me an “out loud” belly laugh! Love it.
Priorities…
Looks like a Weimaraner, but doesn’t seem to have the head of one. (- or the behind of one, for that matter.) Lovely coat.
I got as far as Weimaraner and stopped for a moment…thought the same…the head doesn’t fit. Picked up again on your reply and saw we thought the same. Same colouring though. He’s a big lad though and gorgeous 💕
Correlation sometimes is causation…or vice versa 😎
True, so true.
Beautiful. Looks like a Bernese Mountain Dog. Had one growing up named Susie. Very protective of her family.
She was given to us by an Aunt and the Aunt neglected to inform us she was pregnant. Of course, she may not have known either though. She had eight puppies. Boy was that fun!
Oh my gosh!! Training for your little newbies then 😂😂😂
Fact checking (with my granddog Maggie)……….
She says true…
This has happened at our house! 😁
We don’t know the actual birthdays of our animals, so we usually assign the day we acquired them as their birthday. Often, it includes a special meal!
Don’t tell anyone, but yesterday was my birthday. We went to lunch at a beautiful old ranch nearby. My folks used to take us there for birthday celebrations. Very nostalgic. 😢
Check out the cows!
And, yes….I did indeed tell the cows, “I don’t eat you!” Ha ha. Very popular I was at that ranch! Over the years, they’ve gotten used to me and probably think (correctly) I’m a doddering old fool!
Happy belated Birthday. You missed being a New Year baby by hours huh? Beautiful cows. They look like Santa Gertrudis cows. A breed developed by the King Ranch here in Texas.
When I read this, I very quickly raced to my kitchen and made this for you, sis 😁 Happy Birthday!!!
And may the year bring you boundless joys and continuing good health, dear you 😘
What a lovely way to spend your day, seasoned with a bit of Hiraeth. Where did the years go is a question I’m certain you asked…one I find myself asking quite often these days 😌
Well, here you are…enjoy!!!
Oh wow! Delish, Bets. My folks were thrilled they got a tax deduction for only a few hours. 😁
Lady,
-👻
Ha ha ha.
Love it!
LOL, Yes that is a fact! You do want to give them a full breakfast when they give you a look like that!
I try not to look at the Mags directly when I am eating, which is impossible because she plants herself directly below me. And then taps me with her paw. I can’t eat awash with guilt, so of course I share 😎
It’s harder to do when we are at her mother’s for dinner as I often here “MOM!!!” when she catches me. But as discovered when we were together before Christmas, Brian shares as well https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f602.svg
So he and I are now partners in “crime”… and Maggie couldn’t be happier 💕👍🏻
My son will save the last few bites of anything he is eating for Beau, as Beau sits and watches every bite he takes and his mouth will literally drip onto the floor while watching Michael eat. He does the same with me. I still love them all when they beg. Even the cats beg if I do not close myself away from them to eat.
My New Year gift this am was a complete roll of toilet tissue on my bathroom floor. I must have slept heavy as I never heard them doing it.
Start….
As you mean to go on 💕
“I Choose You” First CURSDAY of 2026 Edition 💕
A traditional staple in the world of music in Europe on New Year’s Day by Johann Strauss…
And a bit of fun 😁
The Radetsky March
Thank you for this video Betsy. Yes it is a fun performance. I really like Johann Strauss.
Absolutely have to play this on New Year’s, Pat 😁💕
Happy New Year, Betsy! You always top yourself each Cursday! I thought at first glance this was one of those Rorschach Tests to assess my emotional functioning and thought patterns! Looked like some otherworldly owl perched on a branch! Now all the Treepers see how messed up I can be!
Hey there, Dave 💕 Please don’t worry 😂…
Every Sunday we treat ourselves to doughnuts. Whereas as we usually sit unhurriedly with our first cup of tea before getting dressed, on that day my husband rises and gets dressed before anything else to go get them before crowds descend on the excellent shop just around the corner…
Yesterday he sat quietly with his tea, catching up on the news.
Strange, I thought 🤔
So finally I asked him when he was going to pick up our Sunday treat…
He looked puzzled for a second before reminding me it was only Wednesday 😳
Oh my dearie dear!! 😬
A very long way of telling you that we all have our little moments. You are most certainly not by yourself 😎😉
Blessed be your New Year, dear sir. I figure we’re due 🙏🏻
Happy New Year, Bet, Garrison, Patience, and all the treepers!
Happy New Year, Grappa!
😀
A blessed New Year and very much improved health I pray for you, dear brother 🙏🏻😘
(Saved…. investigate Produodopa infusion. I’ve seen encouraging results 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻)
I will, thank you! For now I’m giving the stem cells time to do their thing. Could be months. In November we lost my SIL. We are thankful to the Lord for the extra 5 years that we had.
Thank you GrandpaM. A Happy, Prosperous and Blessed New Year to you as well.
😀
Love this photo!
Wonderful, thank you. Tears flowing freely.
These have truly captured my heart, Pat. I know why…I just can put the reason into adequate words.
I somehow think it is because I am watching two souls finding each other. And with some reactions, lives being saved. I don’t believe that is hyperbole either…
I sure do like these videos of dogs choosing their owners. Got to keep the tissues handy though.
Happy New Year, Dear Bets!
Yes, so very thankful to God for our pets. ❤️
What a jolly crew, dear Corny 😍 Blessings always on yourself house and your precious animals, each and every one 😊😘
Back at you sweet sister of mine. Hope you get a little dose of Mags this season. Even with all our own crew, we so enjoyed caring for our granddoggie, Calvin – the ultimate gentleman.
Chow time with the uncles!
Woops! Make that Aunts!
Oh what a splendid name!! Of course he would be a gentleman!! 👍🏻💕
No, no time with the Mags as of late…
And this year, the time is coming when we will never have the opportunity again as Caroline and Brian are building about an hour and a half away, no longer just up the road. I am having great difficulty with the change. Great difficulty. Sigh…..💔
Happy and Blessed New Year to you and your family Betsy. Thank you for all your wonderful images and photos for Cursday and Caturday you provide to all us treepers.
Love these Frenchies.
Your words are most kind, dear Bet. Little ‘Tink and I say thank you and send lots of love your way.
In a few minutes I’m going next door for lunch with two of my very best friends—of many years. As I’ve gotten older I have become more and more thankful in these lasting friendships. Good friendships—like we are lucky enough to have here—are precious. Bless you, Bet love.
Friendships and especially close ones, in distance as well, are the essence of life, Garrison, as we grow older, and it is to be hoped older together. You are most fortunate, dear friend…
You made me remember this…I ran across it yesterday in my “Must Keep” files…
“Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.”
~Charles Spurgeon
Is he right?
Oh absolutely!! 😌💕
Good long time friends are the glowing coals in the dying embers of our earthly lives. And I am so glad you have them 💕
Thank you Garrison. Have a blessed, prosperous and Happy New Year.
You too, dear Pat . . . 🙂
Mornin’ Dear Garrison

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year patty. Thank you for this video. I never got the chance to go there and watch this, but it always fascinated me.
It is a beautiful thing the volunteer firemen do for these ponies.
A new day, the same week and yet an entire new year as well
Happy New Year, Treepers!
I’ve been watching General Flynn on Alex Jones tonight. Impressive. I’m curious what other Treepers think of what General Flynn is saying. It seems to me the smart move would be to put the General in charge of a task force to do what he’s saying needs to be done in the next ninety days or so. I would be ecstatic for guilty parties to be held accountable for their evil actions and be charged and jailed pending trial. Particularly in view of how the J6 folks were treated.
Best comment: “I would answer every knock at my door with that.”

The 7th Day of Christmas
Bible Verse (using King James version):
“He was in the world, and the world was through him, yet the world knew him not.” John 1:10
Prayer:
“Christ to the right of me, Christ to the left of me,
Christ below me, Christ above me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in the mouth of friend and stranger,
Christ all around me, Christ within me,
Christ to see and Christ to win me,
And I invoke the forces of the Christ
knowing his power and his might. Amen.”
Contemplation: We have celebrated New Year’s Eve – the passing of the old into the new. Often we wake up wondering “What has changed?” For the world seems the same as before. We have the same problems, the same relationships with people, the same work situations and so on. In this time of the new, the New Year, the new cycle of welcoming Christ into our lives, at this time when we tend to be distracted by the affairs of life . . it is very easy to close our hearts and minds to the presence of Christ in the world, and ‘know him not’ but if we can take a different perspective, then we can use this time to discover the realities of Christ behind the interactions in our world.
note: the above prayer is a version of the well known Prayer of St. Patrick.
Well the first four lines are …….. The catholic version that is.
I have seen a lot of variations on this prayer and always amazing to see how, regardless of the version, the initial intent remains, the acceptance of the presence and guidance of our Lord.
Thank you, Bessie.
A Happy New Year to you. ❤️
Happy New Year !

It seems the links you posted for several selections are corrupted… instead of youtube they say youtu.be
Clicking on them should take you to them, none apparently cross-post anymore which I’m sure is a gift from our copy-write troll.
I would have found ones that cross post but since I am rather sick, I really didn’t feel like it.
I’m not a fan of this time of the year as the world jets in to spend the holidays here in town & brings every active illness from around the globe here to gift the local population with.
Before Wuflu it was rare that I got sick, with the Gain o Function released on the planet.. I have gotten sick up to 3x a year.
Maybe I can get a shot for that. /s

Grace Hopper
(1906-1992)
American computer scientist & US Navy admiral who invented the first compiler for a universal computer programming language and is credited with coining the phrase ‘debugging’, dies at 85
Biography: Grace Hopper was an American computer scientist and United States Navy rear admiral who made significant contributions to the early development of computer programming languages and software. She is best known for her work on the development of the first compiler, a tool that translates human-readable programming code into machine-executable instructions, and her role in the creation of the COBOL programming language.
Hopper’s work on the Harvard Mark I computer, an early electromechanical computer, led her to realize the need for a more user-friendly programming language. This insight drove her to develop the first compiler, known as A-0, which enabled programmers to write code using more human-readable language instead of machine code or assembly language.
The origin of the term “debugging” in computer programming is often attributed to Grace Hopper during her work on the Harvard Mark II computer in 1947. While troubleshooting a malfunction, Hopper and her team discovered a moth trapped in one of the computer’s relays, causing the issue. After removing the moth, Hopper logged the incident in the computer’s logbook, noting that they had “first actual case of a bug being found” and that they had “debugged” the computer.
In the late 1950s, Grace Hopper played a key role in the development of COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language), one of the first high-level programming languages designed for business applications. COBOL became widely adopted and is still in use today. Hopper’s work in computer programming and her contributions to the development of compilers and COBOL have left a lasting impact on the field, earning her the nicknames “Amazing Grace” and “Grandma COBOL.”
That language, “first actual case of a bug being found”, implies that the terms ‘bug’ meaning programming error, and ‘debug’ to remove it, already existed.
But hey, it may have never been recorded before she wrote it down. When I look into the first coining of the term ‘capitalism’, there is a French socialist who actually wrote it down, but there are lots of undocumented claims that French and British socialists were using it for decades.
Well, It couldn’t have been decades. Unless you consider finding errors in analog computers like the massive things we used to aim battleship guns in WWI.
Which came first Chicken or Egg? bug / debug?
I’m guessing mouse/mice could have caused a few errors too in these things:
Oh, the days of plug boards …………. those were the “early days.”
My father who was a member of TIMS/ORSA (The Institute of Management Science/Operations Research Sociaety of America) and their president for a term described attending a conference with her in the early 70s. There was a shortageof rooms, hotel staff frantically trying to get rooms cleaned and ready for the incoming convention guests. She grabbed a bunch of sheets off the maid’s cart and said she could make her own room. Hotel objected and she pooh=poohed them away by firmly announcing “If an Admiral in the US Navy can’t make her own bed, there is something wrong with this country !”
My Dad loved it and admired her greatly.

New beginnings …
Happen everyday, everywhere.
When God —
Lights our soul with a Scripture,
Sends encouragement our way,
Answers prayer,
Provides a miracle,
Uses us to help another human being, (or animal)
Not just on January 1st.
We are Blessed!
If we woke up to a new year, it’s only because of God’s Mercy and Grace.
The Lord is giving us another chance to thank Him, to honor and praise Him, to accept Him as our Savior and Righteous King.
And, to testify and declare His Goodness.
This Scripture always encourages me when the new year arrives, knowing that all the nations belong to God.
And His eye will be upon them throughout the year.
He is in control … and His way is perfect!
No matter what may come.
**
“… a land that the LORD your God cares for. The eyes of the LORD your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.”
Deuteronomy 11:12

The Old Testament book of Deuteronomy is so helpful to read at beginning of the year.
It gives us deeper understanding of how God wants and requires His people to live.
It’s convicting and eye-opening when we see how far our country has fallen.
And we wonder why?
Politics/government are not the blame.
Lord, begin with me today … Help us all to return to You and do Your Righteous will in every area of our lives.
For Christ’s sake,
In Jesus Name, Amen.
To new beginnings… Great message Della… With love and best wishes for you and your family… Happy New Year…
Thank you, Bulldog!
I hope you and your loved ones are doing well?
May God bless you all in days ahead.
I love “new beginnings” as they’re actually a gift from God.
His mercies are new EVERY morning – and I desperately need them!
🥰
Mornin’ Idaho
And……
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Soaz

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Thursday, January 1, 2026
✟
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR JEREMIAH 29
Two letters to the captives in Babylon; In the first, they are recommended to be patient and composed. (1-19) In the second, judgments are denounced against the false prophets who deceived them. (20-32)
(1-7) The written word of God is as truly given by inspiration of God as his spoken word. The zealous servant of the Lord will use every means to profit those who are far off, as well as those who are near him. The art of writing is very profitable for this end; and by the art of printing it is rendered most beneficial for circulating the knowledge of the word of God. God’s sending to the captives by this letter would show that he had not forsaken them, though he was displeased, and corrected them. If they live in the fear of God, they may live comfortably in Babylon. In all conditions of life, it is our wisdom and duty not to throw away the comfort of what we may have, because we have not all we would have. They are directed to seek the good of the country where they were captives. While the king of Babylon protected them, they must live quiet and peaceable lives under him, in all godliness and honesty; patiently leaving it to God to work deliverance for them in due time.
(8-19) Let men beware how they call those prophets whom they choose after their own fancies, and how they consider their fancies and dreams to be revelations from God. False prophets flatter people in their sins, because they love to be flattered; and they speak smoothly to their prophets, that their prophets may speak smoothly to them. God promises that they should return after seventy years were accomplished. By this it appears, that the seventy years of the captivity are not to be reckoned from the last captivity, but the first. It will be the bringing to pass of God’s good word to them. This shall form God’s purposes. We often do not know our own minds, but the Lord is never at an uncertainty. We are sometimes ready to fear that God’s designs are all against us; but as to his own people, even that which seems evil, is for good. He will give them, not the expectations of their fears, or the expectations of their fancies, but the expectations of their faith; the end he has promised, which will be the best for them. When the Lord pours out an especial spirit of prayer, it is a good sign that he is coming toward us in mercy. Promises are given to quicken and encourage prayer. He never said, Seek ye me in vain. Those who remained at Jerusalem would be utterly destroyed, notwithstanding what the false prophets said to the contrary. The reason has often been given, and it justifies the eternal ruin of impenitent sinners; Because they have not hearkened to my words; I called, but they refused.
(20-32) Jeremiah foretells judgments upon the false prophets, who deceived the Jews in Babylon.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

CHILD NOT CHOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
SPEAK LIFE AND BLESSING
When we face challenges out of the blue
Our first instinct might be what went askew
We wonder what it was that caused the rift
Not recognizing what hit was a gift
We tend to take what occurs personally
Like some sort of punishment deservedly
When really it was nothing of the sort
Nor to the extent of fault to report
We have free will to make our choices
And that includes how we use our voices
We can rant and rave and complain why me
Or we can speak life and blessing to be
We are all prone to the seven deadly
We can speak out a tirade in medley
We can side with that demonic attack
Give negative thoughts credence right back
The effect of the weight we have laid down
Will surely defeat us cause us to drown
In a sea of self-pity barely function
Until we reach a decision junction
The difference between blessing and curse
Is the curse tends to make our plight much worse
It augments into a vicious cycle
We are less fruitful not at all vital
Speak life and blessing for each consequence
A positive outlook just makes more sense
It energizes God-given gifts in you
The Spirit inside comes alive when you do

GOD’S BLESSING
I was just wondering the other day
Why is my friend in a sorrowful way
What is it that has caused him so much grief
Why is it he can find no right relief
Seems to me he has given in this time
To machinations of enemy rhyme
The voice he is hearing is not of God
The adversary perpetrated fraud
You are not worthy to be loved at all
The enemy’s cruel clarion call
Another has taken your rightful place
And you are left with egg on your face
Well that is just numbnuts my buddy dear
Absolutely absurd do you not hear
Who could possibly replace you in mind
Let’s take a step back and set the rewind
What did you do wrong or not do at all
What turned her head and you fatally fall
What caused the rift and diminish your joy
What evil intent and enemy ploy
Were you not there when she needed you
Did you fail to provide neglect her too
Maybe just maybe no flaw could be found
Twas probably the other way around
Was the grass greener on the other side
Or was there something she just had to hide
You probably do not want to hear the truth
But you are better off without the uncouth
Have you searched inside and found a lacking
Were you uncaring and prolly slacking
Not paying attention to your own needs
Or the unseen plans and enemy deeds
Are you blaming yourself for what occurred
Without considering it to be blurred
Can you love someone who loved you or not
Truth be told not worth your effort besought
There is naught more precious than love returned
It is for what the heart has always yearned
When two are united with God’s blessing
There is no turmoil and no guessing

A blessed New Year, dear sis 💕
I remember this one and why…
And it reminded me of this which I’ve saved for a long time. I’m leaving it here for anyone who may need it 🙏🏻
Which I know we all do at one time or another …
“When you feel like you don’t fit in, may you walk in faith because you have a place at the Table of Grace. When you feel like you’re just not enough, may you remember that His Enough is more than enough for you. When you trip up and fall short, remember He stoops down to make you great! And when you don’t feel victorious, remember that you’re already seated with Christ because He won the victory for you.”
AMEN AND AMEN !!! 🥰

This is the Tower of David and the City of David — correct?
So beautiful to see this part of the timeless Old City again.

🙏 God Bless all of Israel and all of the USA and all the other good guys around the World!
Amen 🙏
Thank you. Yes, Tower of David.

❤️ 🚨 ❤️ David: This very well-researched and well-written article you’ve prepared is NOT only about Jews and Israel.
Christians are in as much danger now, too, from Muslim Extremists.
This 20-second video you just posted today on your Rumble channel (LastRefugeDavid) is a very potent reminder of the toxic animosity Muslims have against Christians:

AI Found Something Impossible in the Shroud of Turin — Scientists Are Terrified to Explain
(21:16 mins)
Excerpt:
A supercomputer analyzing millions of data points from the Shroud of Turin just detected something no human eye ever could — a repeating mathematical signal embedded in the fibers of a 2,000-year-old cloth. It isn’t paint. It isn’t scorch damage. It’s data. AI scanning techniques revealed 3D topographic information, perfect geometric ratios, collimated energy patterns, and a physical signature consistent with a burst of radiation so intense it defies modern physics. The image behaves less like artwork and more like a recording of an event — a flash so powerful it encoded itself onto the linen at the nanometer level.
