A Web walk each day with Peggie through a home called Peggie’s Place! . . . .
What to do when enduring love no longer endures? When family/friend relationships fizzle? When the tinsel no longer tinsels? It’s towel time…read on!!
“What a joke,” the brokenhearted bride says. Six months or six years into the marriage and he’s gone. So much for “enduring love!”
“Oh, sure,” the hurting parent cries. I raise him, I feed him, I clothe him – and he’s slammed the door in my face. A rift in our relationship that looks impossible to mend.” So much for enduring love!
We live in a sick world; a world where commitments mean nothing, where character and integrity fly out the window, replaced by greed, lust, disrespect and sin. Is there NO ONE to love me FOREVER? Is it all a fairy tale with an unhappy ending? How cruel can God be!
No, God’s not cruel – man (and woman) can be–and we can come to believe that nothing lasts. Well, we’re wrong – for God’s love endures – it lasts forever. Whatever’s happened, He knows and He cares. His love endures to the very end – and HE will see you through.
Living in the no-longer Tinsel Town? Feel like throwing in the towel of life and love? Don’t! Remember, your Lord picked UP the towel and used it to serve! Well, it’s towel time for YOU! Rely on HIS enduring, serving love. He will give you the grace you need to pick up the pieces and go on! He’ll even give you a towel to serve and love once again! Believe it, receive it and you wlll have a God-filled, choco-covered day!
Today’s hymn: “I Will Serve Thee” - YouTube video – The Cathedral Quartet
PRAYER: “Lord, people have failed me miserably. I’m about ready to throw in the towel, and I need help. I need YOU, the everlasting Lover of my Soul. May I feel Your enduring love surrounding me – and give ME the love I need to endure – and even to serve – this day, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Wonders of the World
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes:
1. Egypt’s Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter’s Basilica
7. China’s Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn’t turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, “Yes, a little. I couldn’t quite make up my mind because there were so many.”
The teacher said, “Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help.”
The girl hesitated and then said, “I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:
1. to touch
2. to taste
3. to see
4. to hear
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love
The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop.
Those things we overlook as simple and “ordinary” are truly wondrous. A gentle reminder…that the most precious things in life cannot be bought.
