Do any of you know where or how this expression came about?
I haven't looked it up yet but it came to my mind last night at the dinner table.
My first thought was maybe it was to celebrate something or that despite whatever is going on in my life, maybe it will help me CHEER UP simply by the act of clinging the glass in agreement!
"He who is of a merry heart has a continual feast!" - Proverbs 15:15
So, here's to joy...here's to pursuing it...here's to good news coming your way to strengthen your bones. May your heart be tranquil giving life to your body today. I lift my glass to you and simply say, "cheers!"
-----by the way, check out the photo at the VERY bottom, still trying to learn how to incorporate pictures...it's of my son and I raising our glasses.
Knowledge

No one person was meant to know everything because then life wouldn't be
worth living. Plus, as humans, our mental capacity couldn't store all of
that info...

Bishop, I finally have an opportunity to thank you and others right here for all your prayers over the past couple of months.
God removed the kink in the garden hose and the His blessings are pouring out. To those who haven't heard the testimony...
God gave me a great new job with the Census Bureau, and the same weekend he set us up in an excellent Camry when our Neon gave up the ghost on I-20...didn't even have to go car shopping 'cause my uncle was looking for a new car and let us test out his...in excellent condition and he's not even in a hurry to start a payment schedule yet!
...same week an excellent pastor and wife from CITN not knowing I really needed some new clothing poured out on me new slacks, shoes, belt, coat, socks, other stuff!...how great is our God to listen to those brief little conversations standing in front of the closet...now turning into testimony and glory!
Finally got a cell phone, though it had problems, got exchanged and they added 800 minutes more for the same price!
...God still pouring...pastor's wife on Friday, out of the blue, gives me a check...ok Lord, what's next, my hands are still open, thank you!
I know that the Lord is going to pour out on you guys, too, in His own way as He sees best to bring you what you need and things you've been praying for...but thank you all so much for the times you said, "Lord, remember Karl". I bless you in His name. Keep praying for continued blessings...I love seeing the results!
Thank you Bishop for the word today...Love Never Fails!
In rehearsal today after we sang Mercy & Grace, the whole choir just erupted into some awesome worship, His touch is so beautiful!
As I opened AYITN just before writing here, this is where my eyes landed...#4...
Today I will enjoy the abundant and bountiful blessings of the Kingdom life that Jesus Himself is lavishing upon me in an amazing display of EXTRAVAGANT GRACE. He daily loads me with His benefits, and I will not forget to thank Him for any of them today. The greater the blessings, the greater the joy-the greater the joy, the greater the blessings! To them that have will more be given, and there is more on the way for me today!
Bishop, remember when I told you last week this testimony?...you said "there's more on the way!", or "there's more where that came from". Wow!
Hello from cousin Emily. Very nice blog! I like for us to stay connected and your words are uplifting. I am new to blogging & technically challenged, bad combo! I am on Facebook now and even found Tatyana on there, it's been fun.
I'm so glad to know that god keeps blessing you and your family. It was so excited to hear the good news about Tania. I'll try to stay positive and I know God will help me get through this transition that I am going through. Have a good day!
Emily!...alright, it is great to have you on here, thanks for writing. Don't worry about the technical part, I'm just now updating myself in these things as well, but enjoy the learning...and as you break through the challenges there are a lot of possibilities! Keep visiting...I may post again today but may wait til tomorrow.
Everardo, you WILL get through it...it's like a birthing process but you are already speaking life to your future by your words...I see it.
Some things have to pass in order for the new things to come...and I know that some great new things are coming your way.
Hold on...you are always loved.
interesting word ver this time: barak
which now makes me say to you "YES YOU CAN!"
