I cain’t believe its been a year today since I wrote my first Post ? I have enjoyed and appreciate all my good friends I have made over the year ! I appreciate your kind thoughts and respect with a lot of Gods Love thrown my way ? I don’t always ” Feel as Good as I Look ” but my daily blog reading usually perks me up for the day ? You see I’ve have got somebody in my life that loves me for who I am ? Thats makes me feel special according to His word !
He does not lead me year by year,
Nor even day by day .
But step by step my path unfolds,
My Lord directs my way .
Tomorrows plans I do not know,
I only know this minute .
But He will say, “This is the way,
By faith now walk ye in it. “
And I am glad that it is so,
Today’s enough to bear,
And when tomorrow comes,
His Grace
Shall far exceed its care .
What need to worry then, or fret ?
The God who gave His Son
Holds all my moments in His Hand
And gives them one by one !
“Just give me one day at a time Sweet Jesus thats all I ‘m asking for “
is my prayer each day ?
Blessings to all and I look forward to another year of good reading.
Ron.

Bro. Ron this is one of the best blog anniversary post I’ve ever read! I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to “inter-meet” you and I’m looking forward to the day when we are eye-to eye whether it’s in this life or the life to come. I pray God will continue to bless you and us through you in the coming year. 😉

Gee whiz amazing grace man.
I finally get a chance to come here and thank you for praying for Dad Golden and here I find I have missed out on the anniversary party.
I have been way late the lest few months on people’s birthdays and anniversaries…
Oh well only thing to do is steal your post again and put it on mine and let the whole world know that you are just a baby blogger still…twelve months old!!…..Love Terry
rrbj said,
January 28, 2008 @ 10:45 pm01 05
Hi Vicki,
Thanks for dropping by my blog and I visit your blog and read a good bit . You have an encouraging blog ! I usually click on your blog name over at Amy Cloud’s { Byway Blessings. } . iF its ok I’ll add you to my blogroll ? I don’t comment as much as I would like to cause the one finger I type with is located on my right arm and my right elbow cain’t make up its mind if it wants to grow an extra elbow or not ? Stays sore all the time from arthuritis complications ?
Blessings to you and I pray your can come thru your illinesses smiling and praising God.
Ron.
rrbj said,
January 28, 2008 @ 10:45 pm01 05
Hi Terry,
I remember when my Dad accepted Jesus into his heart just 2 weeks before he died and that is the least I can do for Dad Golden ?
Yep I am just a baby blogger 1 year old but I have been reading blogs for nearly 2 years ? I first started reading my Pastor’s blog and using His blogroll ! { Heavenly Heartburn } . He’s been very busy since before christmas and hadn’t gotten back into the swing yet ! We have a lot of activities going on in our church .
Its ok to steal a post now and then but if it gets out of hand I’l just call Judge Judy cause She has still got you on Her investigation list ?
Tell Mom and Dad Golden I said hello ?
Blessings.
Ron.
Terry said,
January 28, 2008 @ 10:45 pm01 05
Yes I will tell Mom and Dad hello amazing grace man, but you may as well forget about Judge Judy. She tried to get over the border and they flat right told her to get lost!
She doesn’t even have a psssport!!
Ha!! …Terry

hey Ron, I am back, I have missed blogging so much and ur comments, encouragement, I like you seem to get a lift from keeping up with what is going on with all my friends in the blogosphere!! God Bless!!!
rrbj said,
January 29, 2008 @ 10:45 am01 05
Morning Terry,
You had best be aware of Judge Judy cause she is getting an official Judgeship for all of Canada ! She said that you wasn’t the only one she might get after ! She mentioned something about Gracey starting a blog and not keeping up the posting because it disappointed Her readers? She said that the main reason She has not done you in is cause you bless so many people with Birthday and Anniversary Wishes ?
You’ll have to explain about Bro. Gordon Clouds pictures appearing on my blog ! Could have something to do with his Preaching helps to keep the Devil away !
Blessings.
Ron.

Hi Robin,
It is my pleasure to pray for Daniel. One of my pet peeves is children ! It would be ok with me to have all the pain that Daniel has to go thru ! I can’t stand to see children to have hurts and can not do anything ! Praying for Daniel and his family !
Blessings.

hello Ron,
You are such a kind, sweet soul, and I’m glad the Lord let our blog paths cross. Hope you are taking good care of that ol’ arthritis this week. Indeed, it can make for some painful typing. Thank you for your encouraging remarks about my little health trials…I know the Lord will take good care of me. I’ll pray for you, too, my friend, and just wanted you to know that your words always lift my spirits. Thank you so much!
In His grace & love,

Hi Janice,
Been thinking about you and hoping you staying warm ? Forgive me for not checking up sooner on one of my adopted kids . I just ain’t been totally up to par these last few days ! Sometime silence is good but I know it can be bad also but when I’m silent and quiet I’m always being good . HaHa .
Blessings to you and Hubby.

I am so happy for you on the one year hurdle. I know I will continue to read and enjoy your company. God bless you, Bro. Ron! I look forward to many years to come.
I hope all went well with Cole. We have been praying for Him. Clay is especially concerned. If you talk to him would you tell him Clay asked about him. I know Clay would appreciate it.
Thanks and Blessings to you.
rrbj said,
February 5, 2008 @ 10:45 pm02 05
Hi Amy,
Thanks for the good words, but I hope I’ll be around for a long time too. Missed you Sunday , but Bro. Gordon told me Clay was sick .
Everything went ok with surgery but monday evening his incision opened up after they removed his stiches so he could go home. Then it started running fluids and they keep him overnight ! You could actually see inside of him . They didn’t do anything to him but pack the incision and sent him home today . Other than that He is doing fairly good !
Blessings.
Ron.

Dear Amazing-grace man..
I have been thinking about you the last few days and praying that your arthritis isn’t as bad as it was.
Ron did you ever try Likota” on it?
Bernie has had a year worth of pain that he never told me about but when I found out about it, I bought him some Likota and ii really helped him.
It is expensive but once in a while this mean old Canadian lady buys him a little something…with HIS money…Love Terry
Ps The almost 37 years of “pain” that he has had? Well there just ain’t no cure for that one!!
rrbj said,
February 7, 2008 @ 10:45 pm02 05
Hi Terry,
Glad you stopped by. I have not even heard of Likota . I have been doing a little better the last couple of days since the weather warmed up some . My right elbow is still sore but my knee joint is feeling much better !
Blessings to you and Bernie. and Mom and Dad Golden.
Ron.
Terry said,
February 7, 2008 @ 10:45 pm02 05
Dear amazing grace man.
Do you have a Costco near you? They sell it in there.
The drug stores sell it too but it is more expensive. It comes in a bottle that is a roll on bottle like under arum deodorant and it is real easy to roll on . I think it would do your elbow a world of good
Why not try it?….Love Terry
Google it to get the information, eh?
rrbj said,
February 8, 2008 @ 10:45 am02 05
Hi Terry,
Thanks for the info. We don’t have Costco down here that I know of . I will just have to go to bed and let the Lord bless me with a good day the next day ! I appreciate your prayers and your thoughts.
Blessings.
Ron.
PS. I’ll just continue to be an old broke down old man that is overly grateful that the Lord allows me another day !
Terry said,
February 8, 2008 @ 10:45 pm02 05
Dear amazing grace man…You are NOT a broken down old man at all and we all need you for more than just another day!
Now don’t get too used to these compliments either because once it warms up here in Ontario, my mean streak will be coming back.
I am just being nice to you because I am hoping you will send some warm weather our way!!!!…Terry
rrbj said,
February 8, 2008 @ 10:45 pm02 05
Hi Terry,
