So any nice bible verses which i could put on either the travel, easter or birthday pages would eb gratefully recived. i have the prayers just not a relavent verse to go with.

MaryBS · 16/08/2007 22:12

Travel:

John 14.1-7
1 ?Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father?s house there are many dwelling-places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.
4 And you know the way to the place where I am going.?
5 Thomas said to him, ?Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way??
6 Jesus said to him, ?I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.?

MaryBS · 16/08/2007 22:17

Easter:

Matthew 28:1-10 (or you could use one of the other gospels...)

1 After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb.
2 And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.
3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
4 For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men.
5 But the angel said to the women, ?Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.
6 He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.
7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ?He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.? This is my message for you.?
8 So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, ?Greetings!? And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then Jesus said to them, ?Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.?

MaryBS · 16/08/2007 22:20

Did you know that Pentecost is referred to as "the birthday of the church"?

So, with that in mind:

Acts 2:1-4

1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them.
4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.

harrisey · 17/08/2007 08:22

there's a nice verse about travel in psalm 139

along the lines of 'if I take the wings of the morning and settle on the far side of the sea even there your rigt hand will hold me fast" (not a direct quote - you'd have to look it up). It was the verse dd1 was given for her dedication and I love it.

Also in Ps 139 is stuff about how God knew you even before you were born - would that be nice for a birthday thing?

notsofarnow · 17/08/2007 08:24

Have only just read this - internet is up the spout again thanks to talk talk who have taken the line even thou I cancelled the order and now have left me with no internet - again.

Praying for all x

DutchOma · 17/08/2007 09:19

ok girls have done a profile page. Not a lot of photos to choose from on dd computer so will have to have a look for some of me - actually I don't think any of me exist.

DumbledoresGirl · 17/08/2007 19:05

Hello. Just popping in quickly as I have a message from Naswm which she asked me to pass on to you. Those of you who sent cards via me, or money for flowers (you know who you are) she wants me to let you know she is extremely touched and thankful for (of?) your thoughts.

I have been away for three weeks during which time I have had limited contact with Naswm, but I arrived back today and had a lovely chat on the phone with her straightaway and she sounds a whole lot more positive. She and her therapists/psychiatrists are working towards releasing her back into the good old world at the beginning of September. She will need help for some time initially but I am sure she will gain in strength and self-confidence and one day will even be able to speak to you all again here.

So thanks again to those who sent something. I hope all of you who have offered love to a stranger have that love returned to you - your deserve it!

katz · 17/08/2007 20:04

thank you all for those verses, i am now inspired, am currently doing a page using this prayer

When I travel in a bus
I see the streets and houses.
When I go in a train,
I see the fields and hills.
When I fly in an aeroplane,
I can see the whole country.
If I could go up in a rocket,
I would see the whole world.
Thank you, God, for travel.
It shows me what a great world
You have made.

Amen

with this verse
Many will travel everywhere and knowledge will grow. Daniel 12 v 4

i have a fab spaceship 3d jolee's sticker and some silver stars!

Prayers all round
