Melli choose ME of all people me !! to find out Five Things about Jesus. It must be the wine of her church service. Apparently it is a new meme
which wanders through blogworld. I wonder who had this glorious idea ! If at least I would win an award ! Like "best bible knowledge blog" or something like that !
Here are 5 things I remember about Jesus.
1. After Jesus was baptisized, he came out of the water and retired into the desert, and as he was not hungry he fasted for forty days and nights. Then the devil came with treats, but Jesus didn't like them and resisted. Therefore he became God's son.
2. Jesus made a mess at Herod's Temple by overturning the tables of the moneychangers who set up shop there, called them "den of robbers." and threw them out ! Does that mean he had a fiery temper ?
3. He preached a lot and suggested that if somebody hit you in the face you should turn your other cheek, which most of people don't do, they hit back.
4. He had 12 disciples to help him preach. They were instructed to: "take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff — no bread, no bag, no money in their belt — but to wear sandals, because if any town rejects them they ought to shake the dust off their feet as they leave. It's not said if they had to change sandals too.
5. Jesus died by crucifixion and rose from the dead on the third day. This was commented by my 5 year old son after bible lessons : "Jesus died, and three days later he was still alive" !
The rule of this meme is that I also have to find 5 victims. So if you know your bible lessons very well, please consider yourself as tagged. But not more than 5 people !!
Today is my birthday and I have received wonderful gifts !
a new camera and a wooden big cat
a Swatch watch and a necklace !
I should have birthday at least once a week !
For some reason your post reminds me of "The life of Brian", happy sunday Gattina!
ReplyDeleteLove your meme answers...very imaginative.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you. Cancerians are lovely people...when they're not crawling into their shells...lol!
Love your wooden cat...just beautiful! I want one toooooooooo!
Happy Birthday Gattina! I think you won the prize for your Meme. Melli and I decided to do our Sunday Seven together....this week. Wish you could have joined us.
ReplyDeleteHi Gattina ~~ Happy Birthday !! I
ReplyDeletehope you have had a lovely day with the sun shining for your special day.
You got some lovely gifts there and it was so good that your son came from Amsterdam to help you celebrate.
One of my sons-in-law came from
Holland. Thanks for your comments, glad you found the stoy touching. As you say at least he left a note.
Sorry your childhood memories were not better, at least about your father. Take care, Gattina, Love, Merle.

ReplyDeleteNever mind, I deleted my comment because I was asking you what kind of camera you got until coffee kicked in and I had the clever idea to enlarge the pic and voilà, there it was, all the information I needed. Have fun with the new camera!
ReplyDeleteJOYEUX ANNIVERSAIRE Gattina!!!
ReplyDeleteComme tu as été gâtée!!!
Je suppose que tu vas être sur un petit nuage toute la journée! Attention de ne pas rencontrer Jésus là-haut!
Ton fiston est sorti cette nuit! Moi c'est la même chose mais très très souvent!!! Prions, Seigneur Jésus pour qu'elle reste à la maison ce soir!
HaPpY BiRtHdaY tO yOu!
ReplyDeletehApPy bIrThDay To YoU!
Hippy Pappy Birthuthday Day Ms. Gattinaaaaaaaaaa....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!
You have caught me by surprise with this birthday while I am at Daisy's and away from all my bookmarks and even my graphics program ... I am saddened and crying because I cannot make you something or send you my greatest b-day card --UNLESS by some MIRACLE I can remember my password into the card site... but I DO wish you a spectacular day ... and a well rested night - especially after DIGGING so deep to remember what YOU dig about Jesus!!! BRAVO! And you did it in TRUE Gattina STYLE!
Big Birthday-hugs from the Captain :-)
ReplyDeleteCome over and have some cake and look at some Art!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ingrid, nice gifts you got. Jesus died and he rose on the third day. He was not alive the three days. Also he died for the sins of the world, for you and for me. One must be careful to not use blasphemy. Jesus mentions a sin that is unforgivable in Matt. 12:31-32 and calls it blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.If you read this and also in John I think you would have a much better understanding of your saviour.
ReplyDeleteGood day to you and may you have many, many more birthdays my friend.
Happy Birthday to you,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Gattina!

A little coffee-holic called Sanni tells us that it is your birthday.
ReplyDeleteSo I say Happy Birthday to you my dear, and many happy returns of the day!!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, liebe Ingrid! Ich war leider den ganzen tag unterwegs habe aber an Dich gedacht - und heute morgen Dir zu Ehren zum ersten Mal über Blackberry veröffentlicht. Heirfür muste oich Dir ein paar Bolder mopsen - ich hoffe, das war okay. Wenn ich zuvoe gefragt hätte wäre es ja keine Geburtstagsüberraschung mehr gewesen! ;)
