/// "FIRST" /// ~~~~~ I'LL SHARE A BIBLE VERSE ///

"CALL UNTO ME, AND I WILL ANSWER THEE, AND

SHEW THEE GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS, WHICH

THOU KNOWEST NOT"

*** Jeremiah 33:3 ***

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*** REMEMBER ME ***

I picked up a cup that had the words "Remember me."

I was visiting a friend who said to grab a cup and she

would pour me a cup of coffee.

Instantly!...I remembered something her mother had said

to me as I read those words "Remember me".

In yesteryear, I was pouring a cup of coffee, and then adding

sugar...as I added the fourth teaspoon of sugar, my friend's

mother said..."Imogene, are you gonna drink coffee with

sugar? or sugar with coffee?"

Isn't it amazing! how what a person says to us from long ago

affects our life? I still drink a cup of coffee for breakfast and 'still'

put four teaspoonfuls of sugar. Therefore, I remember this

dear lady...every morning...because of what she said.

I SURE DO WISH I COULD FIND A CUP WITH THAT 'SAYING'...ON IT..."Remember me."

Doris, if you happen to read this...I SOOO very much

LOVED your MOM!! She was like you...organized--had a

daily routine--did same things each day that needed to be done...

the house always in 'order'....... I'M ENTIRELY DIFFERENT --

I may do housework a day or two, then go off shopping, or Whatever!...and 'let things go' for several days...but, I

really admire those people who 'always' stay on course. I love you, too, Doris.....I wish we lived closer to one another.....Maybe I'm

not too old yet...to learn your good habits.

OH WHAT A SWEET HUSBAND I HAVE!!.....He just 'carries on' and loves me,,,ANYWAY!

"Heavenly Father, Thank You! for my sweet husband."

We ate lunch at the table today--That's a new year resolution,

for me.

Of course, CW had to have the TV on a black & white western

movie ~ but that's okay with me, just so we eat at the table.

Monday, we also ate lunch at the table--2 meals in 11 days

is a good start. Today was another warm sunny day in the high 60's ~~~ I'M LOVING IT!

Owita's Bible verse of the day

"Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called

the children of God."

(Mathew 5:11)

Today has been very WINDY and COLD ~ and ~ this was mostly a stay

in the house day for me ~ but the weather report for tomorrow is better and warmer.

I did make a pound cake ~ and watched two movies with C W ~ and did a lot

of HOUSEWORK in the kitchen. All of the coming week is supposed to be like Spring ~

with the temps in the 60's! Hooray!

~ * ~

I'll end this page with the words to a Hymn I like.

~ * ~

THE SHELTERING ROCK

There is a Rock in a weary land

It's shadow falls on the burning sand

Inviting pilgrims as they pass

To seek a shade in the wilderness

Oh, why will ye die?

Oh, why will ye die?

When the sheltering Rock is so near by

Oh, why will ye die?

There is a well in a desert plain

It's waters call with entreating strain

"Ho, every thirsty sin-sick soul

Come, freely drink and thou shalt be whole."

Oh why will ye die?

Oh, why will ye die?

When the living well is so near by

Oh, why will ye die?

A great fold stands with it's portals wide

The sheep astray on the mountain side

The Shepherd climbs o'er mountains steep

He's searching now for His wandering sheep.

Oh, why will ye die?

Oh, why will ye die?

When the Shepherd's fold is so near by

Oh, why will ye die?

There is a cross where the Saviour died

His blood flowed out in a crimson tide

A sacrifice for sinful men

and free to all who will enter in

Then why will ye die?

Oh, why will ye die?

When the crimson cross is so nearby

Oh, why will ye die?

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD. I SHALL NOT WANT. Psalm 23:1

This verse in the Bible is my 'favourite' verse for

my life because to me it means

LITTLE IS MUCH! IF GOD IS IN IT!

Poem Of The Day

"Who Was The First One?" ~

Who was the first one

'Told me of God's Love?

Who was the first one

'Read to me from God's Word?

Who was the first one

'Said ~ IN GOD ALWAYS TRUST?

The First One Was My Mother

I'm glad she loved me ~ that much!

Her life was a Sermon ~ Her life was a Prayer

And ~ The first Time I Saw Jesus!

"Twas In My Mother's Life ~ Shining Fair!

Imogene(Jean) Owita Lewis

(( Inspired by Julia Hester Nabors ))

I read a story from a magazine this morning about a three year old little

girl and her mother. The mother said "I'm going to buy you something today."

The little girl said "I'm going to buy you something, too." The mother asked her

where she was going to get the money" The little girl thought for a moment, then

said ~ "From the Dollar Store!"
