Hey TT, hoping the info was correct and helpful to you, God bless.
@Heybro Yep. That's it! Thanks for your help, brother.
The Lord has created so many beautiful birds. This picture of a female Mallard (left)...the one I was needing to identify and a male (right) go out especially to you.

Please pray for my son who has been suffering with ongoing stomach trouble (long term.May be result of a botched surgery.)
For some odd reason, my own stomach has been swollen and painful lately (badly bloated or maybe something else?)
Anyway, both of us need God's healing touch. Thanks.

I am sorry I have been out of the loop here on Worthy for a while. Many things happening within my family and the farm.
@mlbrokish Nice to see you back! I have missed you. I will add you to my prayer list.
12 hours ago, mlbrokish said:I have prayed and will continue to do so, and ask our Savior to place His healing upon you and your husband and bless you with the finances to afford medicine, fuel, and food. Though we do not understand His ways, His love never fails, even in the waiting.
@marvelloustime Amen to everything our sister said.
Big hug for you, along with my prayers.

This poem has helped people consider a new perspective...getting a glimpse of God's point-of-view, rather than their own.
I dedicate this to my dear sister @marvelloustime who is going through a horrendous chapter in her life right now. To any who would take the time to encourage her and pray for her, I would be most grateful.
P.S. If the print is too small for any, please let me know and I will post an enlarged print version for you.

To my Aussie brothers and sisters out there...
@Heybro @Marilyn C That includes you
I read somewhere that this was a duck from Australia, but they did not list a name for the type. Would either of you know? I wanted to look it up to learn about it. Thanks.

No matter how bleak it looks
The Sovereign Lord can make all things beautiful again.
New every morning GREAT is His faithfulness!
Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
Jeremiah's Hope
…Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail. They are new every morning;Great is Your faithfulness! “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.” (Lamentations 3:22-24)

This month of January, 2020 marks my 47th Birthday
("Born Again Birthday", that is. )
I wrote a poem to celebrate this, the most important day in my life.
I wanted to share it with you, my Worthy family
Testimony-
I praise God for Christian parents
Ones who cared about my soul
As a child the seeds were planted
And I felt the Spirit's pullGrandma gave me my own Bible
I discovered there's a Hell
Then I read I was a sinner
Who deserved to go there wellBut in Jesus there was mercy
He who paid the price for sin
I cried out to be forgiven
And God's Spirit entered inIn that moment Jesus found me
I became a new creation
Trusting in His blood to save me
Christ alone was my salvationMy desires changed to please Him
These my Savior put in me
Flowing freely for I loved Him
living for eternityScripture became precious to me
In a way unlike before
I would just devour it daily
Finding I was craving moreTelling others about Jesus
How He died to save them, too
Sharing with the lost the gospel
Now was what I longed to doPraying, praising not a burden
They became a pure delight
Fellowshiping with my Savior
Who had brought this blind soul sightThis- my simple testimony
How Christ made my heart brand new
To the ones who still don't know Him
He can do the same for you- 1

@Worship Warriors Prayer scriptures! I love them. Both beautiful examples. We can memorize these and whisper them to our Lord anytime we are in a fitting situation. Praise God!

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
@Abby-Joy I love this chapter! Thanks for posting it.
The Lord led me to write a poem based on the above verse-7
I hope it is okay if I share it here @angels4u
Written by turtletwo on August 24th, 2018
An Earthen Vessel
I'm just an earthen vessel
But I carry a great treasure
God's Spirit dwells within me
And my purpose is His pleasureAlthough I often fail Him
When I call upon His Name
His Blood is greater than my sin
And takes away my shameOne day I'll live in Heaven
Where He'll dry my every tear
But till I reach the other side
I'll love and serve Him here"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us" 2 Corinthians 4:7
"Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" 1 Corinthians 3:16
“The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:7,9
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Revelation 21:4
"We love him, because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19
"Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." John 14:23

@angels4u I hope your new year is off to a good start, sister.
Thanks for sharing this with us... An excellent message from a man of God who left a legacy.
Have you ever heard any of the old radio dramas that are Moody Bible productions? They are top notch.

@marvelloustime I understand. And so does God. He knows your heart. He knows you better than you know yourself, as that video I posted says.
His word promises that He will not permit us to go through more than we can bear. I know there are times that this does not seem to be the case. Like now, for example.
I think these are the times we can only "walk by faith, not sight."
When we pray, "Lord, I believe. Help Thou my unbelief."

@marvelloustime @Abby-Joy @DustyRoad
You have all been such an inspiration to me. Thanks for sharing. Your grateful heartshave touched mine.
It helps me to see my sisters and brothers operating in faith and good attitudes.
Especially now. This is a dangerous time when my son's health is becoming steadily worse and he is on the verge of losing his job.

@marvelloustime I am overjoyed! The Lord be praised!!! This is such wonderful news, precious sister.
Especially after just having read your most recent prayer request. It has been so hard to watch you go through hardship upon hardship with barely a moment to catch your breath.
This praise report is a breath of fresh air! God is merciful. He hears our cries and answers our prayers.

Valentine's Day is when we can express our love and appreciation to one another. But to those who are lonely out there and feeling no one cares about you on this day- I have great news. Jesus Christ loved you so much that He sacrificed His own life for you upon a cross. He died for your sins so that you could go to Heaven one day and have a personal relationship with Him right now.
Here is a poem I found that says it well.

This is my valentine (message of love) to my Worthy family.
Thank you for the fellowship, the support and the prayers that you have given me since I joined back in 2007. It means so much. You guys have been with me through a lot of tough times.
You have helped me through the neurological nightmare that began for me only a year before I joined. Then, the battle with cancer and the death of my father in 2010. And the severe brain damage of my mother (a valiant one year fight that ended with her going Home to Jesus last February.)
You have allowed me to express myself through my poetry, along with posts and multiple threads I have so enjoyed doing (such as "Beware Little Bear" my animal thread over in the Humor forum.) You have participated in it and together, we have shared the gift of laughter. You even brought photos of your pets...which was very special to me.
I am grateful to the Lord for the friendships I have formed at Worthy. As someone who is disabled and not attending church services, I have been blessed to fellowship here. This is a time for me to reflect back on my 13 years as a part of this site.
To anyone still reading this long post, thanks for hanging in there. lol
God bless you, brothers and sisters.
