Naomi,
Her other daughter-in-law was named Orpah. It was Ruth that swore allegiance to Naomi and to God. Ruth even declared that where Naomi Died she would also die.

Mothers Love
Love is a funny word
I thought I knew what this was all about
I discovered it most when mama was sick
When worldly things no longer had hold
She needed us, Oh! How she needed us
But how many lingered, or sacrificed or thought of her pain
Her earthly riches, wisdom and guidance have long since gone
Yes, generations to come will inherit and be blessed as time goes on.
She is stretching out a hand to all of us
Come, she says, sit by my side, forgive and forget
There's room in the circle for you yet.
Siblings will you enter?
Look, she says, my Jesus is here, ever so near
He will guide and keep you in the coming years
And He has taken me to the Heaven above
I'll be waiting for you in His Circle of Love
Love Mom

In The Other Room
My Friend called, and, I'm sorry I had to leave.
It's o.k. I know you love me when you grieve.
I'm now standing in glory with God, and that, you must believe.
There will be times when you'll wish I was back, but, just remember this:
I'm only in the other room,
The one my Master made for me.
I'm only in the other room,
That space in your hearts, you saved, just for me.
I'm only in the other room,
I love you each, as love should be.
There'll come a time, when we'll reunite...
It is just in the other room.

GIVE ME THE SIMPLE LIFE
Satan called a worldwide convention. In his opening address to his evil angels, he said, "We can't keep the Christians from going to church.
We can't keep then from reading their Bibles & knowing the truth. We can't even keep them from conservative values. But we can do something else. We can keep them from forming an intimate, abiding experience in Christ.
If they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken. So let them go to church, let them have their conservative lifestyles, but steal their time, so they can't gain that experience in Jesus Christ. This is what I want you to do, angels. Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior & maintaining that vital connection throughout their day.
How shall we do this?, shouted his angels.
Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life & invent unnumbered schemes to occupy their minds, he answered.
Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, then, borrow, borrow, borrow. Convince the wives to go to work & the husbands to work 6 or 7 days a week,10-12 hrs. a day, so they can afford their lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their children. As their family fragments, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work.
Overstimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still small voice. Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive, to keep the TV, the VCR, & their CD's going constantly in their homes.
And see to it that every store & restaurant in the world plays music constantly. This will jam their minds & break that union with Christ."
Fill their coffee tables with magazines & newspapers. Pound their minds with the news 24 hrs. a day. Invade their driving moments with billboards. Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, sweepstakes, mail order catalogs, & every kind of newsletter & promotional offering, free products, services, & false hopes.
Even in their recreation, let them be excessive. Have them return from their recreation exhausted, disquieted & unprepared for the coming week. Don't let them go out in nature. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, concerts & movies instead. And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip & small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences & unsettled emotion.
Let them be involved in soul-winning. But crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Christ. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health & family unity for the good of the cause.
It was quite a convention in the end. And the evil angels went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busy, busy, busy & rush here & there.
Has the devil been successful at his scheme? You be the judge.

Hello Everyone,
It is 1;33 am I am having a hard time sleeping! #2113 is this post! They just keep passing.

We should all be careful the devil comes knocking at every chance! It may be some gossip about a friend. A bad thought about another. Remember as humans we have no right to judge! That is Gods job.
What If
What if God couldn't take the time to bless us today because we couldn't take the time to thank Him yesterday?
What if God decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we didn't follow Him today?
What if we never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when God sent the rain?
What if God didn't walk with us today because we failed to recognize it as His day?
What if God took away his message because we failed to listen to the messenger?
What if God didn't send His only begotten Son because He wanted us to be prepared to pay the price for sin?
What if the door to our church was closed because we did not open the door of our heart?
What if God stopped loving a caring for us because we failed to love and care for others?
What if God would not hear us today because we would not listen to him yesterday?
What if God answered our prayers the way we answer His call to service?
What if God met our needs the way we give Him our lives?

Hey everyone,
Thank you so much for your prayers for me during the pain. It is getting better. but I am trying to exercize a little, but it makes me hurt later after I've done it. I had a bad bout of pain last night. It makes me wonder if I should just not exercize. Keep praying. I believe that God is going to heal me.
Roy, I love your posts. Thank you for the inspiration.
Everyone have a great day. Love you all. Donna

Lord bless all our PRT`ers
Good evening everyone!
Praying for all requests.
The funeral services are over. It was kind of funny as this took place in a Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. Ike's family is very Lutheran and several members of his family were charter members of this church and all the kids went through grade school there. My eldest daughter also went to Lutheran school for several years. It seemed so foreign to me as I have been away so long. I was kind of taken aback when the pastor came in robes and vestments. Even the Liturgical program. I know that this is such comfort to many, many Christians, but just seemed way too formal for me.
I came home and took a nap and am going to head to bed early.
Roy - Your sleepless nights add much to us to contemplate.
Goodnight and sweet dreams to us all.
