Pink Saturday - February 7, 2009

Before I get started with our Pink Saturday post, I have to tell you all something.  Pink Saturday has become so popular that I just can no longer leave each one of you a comment each week.  I managed to do it until last Saturday, but it is time for me to admit to myself I can't do it any longer.  I love Pink Saturday, and I love reading all of your posts.  So, let's all keep enjoying the fun of Pink Saturday.  I just have to take a little pressure off of myself.  And, I will still visit you every few weeks.

Now on with Pink Saturday fun.

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is my pink Beverly bag.  My friend, Ingrid at Life Is Good, made this for me several years ago.  As you can see, I use it all of the time.  It goes with me every day to work.  It usually holds a bottle of water, a diet pepsi, a Lean Cuisine, a pack of crackers and something to read.  Additionally, you will find a few receipts and some tissues - and sometimes my camera.  My id badge for work clips right on one of the handles.  I bet Ingrid never realized that her gift would become part of my everyday life.  Thanks, Ingrid.

 

This week we have one hundred forty-four (144) participants in Pink Saturday.  There are eight new participants this week, and you will find them at the bottom of the list.  Let's all take time to welcome them to Pink Saturday.  It seems that so many of us have fun with the color pink.  I hope you are all enjoying this as much as I am.

Please take the time to visit other participants, and leave them a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink.  Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community.  That is why it is important that we get out and visit each other.  I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice people.  Everyone likes to receive comments on their contributions.  Please refer to my post dated January 8 for more information about Pink Saturday.

Please remember that my reminder e-mail stated I needed your plan for participating today no later than 5 p.m. EST yesterday.  If you don't see your name and link here it is because I did not receive your plan for participating by that time.

I want to thank those of you that take the time to leave me a comment.  I love reading what you all have to say.

Psalm 33

1	Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous:          for praise is comely for the upright.
2	Praise the LORD with harp:          sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3	Sing unto him a new song;          play skilfully with a loud noise.
4	For the word of the LORD is right;          and all his works are done in truth.
5	He loveth righteousness and judgment:          the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6	By the word of the LORD were the heavens made;          and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7	He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap:          he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8	Let all the earth fear the LORD:          let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9	For he spake, and it was done;          he commanded, and it stood fast.
10	The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought:          he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11	The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever,          the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12	Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD;          and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13	The LORD looketh from heaven;          he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14	From the place of his habitation he looketh          upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15	He fashioneth their hearts alike;          he considereth all their works.
16	There is no king saved by the multitude of a host:          a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17	A horse is a vain thing for safety:          neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18	Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him,          upon them that hope in his mercy;
19	to deliver their soul from death,          and to keep them alive in famine.
20	Our soul waiteth for the LORD:          he is our help and our shield.
21	For our heart shall rejoice in him,          because we have trusted in his holy name.
22	Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us,          according as we hope in thee.

Amazing Grace

I realize that many of you know that my favorite song is Amazing Grace.  The words of this song strike a deep chord in my heart.  I have repeated the words so many times in my life, times when I needed the strength the message of these words provide.

When my grandson was a baby, I sang this song to him many times.  I always sang it to him during our quiet times and when he was going to bed.  As he got older, he called it his night-night song.  Even now, any time we hear the words when we are together, he gives me one of his sweet gentle smiles.

So many worldwide sing these inspiring words beautifully, but for me, no one can compare to Judy Collins. Listen and enjoy that peace you only find by knowing God's love.

What's My Question Wednesday

My question for today is ...



What is the best quality you inherited


 from either of your parents

I Just Love This

Have you ever seen this?  It makes me laugh aloud.  Such an adorable moment.

Blue Moon For Blue Monday

Be certain to visit Sally and all of the Blue Monday participants at Smiling Sally.

The lyrics are presumed to refer to an English idiomatic expression: a blue moon is either the second full moon in a month or the third one when four full moons occur in one season of the year, which is a somewhat rare occurrence. If something happens "once in a blue moon" it almost never happens.

The lyrics of the song relate to a stroke of luck so unlikely that it must have taken place under a blue moon. The title relies on a play on words, since Blue is also the color of melancholy.

Dona nobis pacem

Please visit Spiritual Sunday to fill your heart with joy.

Dona nobis pacem (Latin: Give us peace) is a phrase in the Agnus Dei section of the Roman Catholic mass.  It was set as a separate, final movement in Bach's Mass in B Minor.  I realize this is not the most impressive interpretation of this, but it is the one that had the most lasting impression on me.  I am not much of a television watcher, but M*A*S*H was my favorite show.  The first time I saw this episode, I wept.  I wept at the thought of the many courageous men and women that have left their homes and families to protect our country.  And, God to give us peace.
