If you're called upon to give advice, you should know that it is like snow:
The softer it falls, the deeper it goes
HAPPY SATURDAY !!
It is supposed to be a mostly rainy day today and I’ve got to go down to the camper to finish up the winterizing. I’ll just dress warmly and put my raincoat and boots on and hope for the best. Hopefully it won’t take very long.
I’m planning to leave about 8:30 or so this morning and will leave the beagle at home. He’ll be much more comfortable. Lucky dog.
I’m still not feeling up to par. I guess my body is rebelling the lack of sunshine already. That is not a good thing as we have a long long way to go before we’ll see very much of that for sure.
I know I’ll enjoy being in my nice warm bed tonight and maybe even sleep in tomorrow.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY IS…TRICK OR TREAT DAY
(ours will actually be on this coming Thursday here)
Trick or-Treating started in 9th century European with a custom called "souling". On November 2, All Souls Day, people would walk from village to village begging for "soul cakes". These were square pieces of bread with currants. And for every soul cake the beggars got, they said a prayer for the dead relatives of the donors. Today, Trick or Treating is just for fun. And most children say their favorite Trick or Treat candy is either chocolate or gum

TODAY’S SMILE
What You're Telling PeopleIf you drive this COLOR of vehicle . . .
RED:You're assertive (or aggressive) and strong.
YELLOW:It screams "Look at me!" - which is why you don't see it on family sedans. lt's for sporty SUVs and expensive sports cars, in which it also says, "I'm so rich I don't care what you think" (example $50,370 Corvette convertible).
ORANGE:You're on top of the trends. Orange (in many variations) is a key new color in 2003. GM has "sunset orange metallic" pickups; Mercedes-Benz offers a "paprika metallic" C-Class sports coupe.
SILVER:You ooze class. The No. 1 car color (it passed white for the first time in 2001), silver represents speed, power and success - which is why it's the favorite color of baby boomers (ages 38 to 56).
WHITE:A longtime favorite and the color of rental cars. People under 65 in a white car like to blend in. For the elderly, white harks back to the elegance and wealth of the 1920s.
BLACK:Power/aggression sums it up. The top choice for ages 24 to 37 and one of the top colors targeted by thieves (along with red).
BLUE (medium or dark):You're conservative, middle of the road. Blue always seems to be No.5 or 6 on lists of the top 10 car colors.
GREEN: (medium or dark):See blue, above, and add a touch of environmentalism.

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish.
John 6:9
Part of what we learn from the passage is that the boy gave everything he had. In giving all the food he had, the boy and the others got more than enough to eat.
Sometimes when I think I've given a situation to God, I realize that I've held on to a corner of it until I see how things will turn out. The truth is that God can't work freely in my life until I surrender - all my circumstances.
It's good to give a tenth of my income to God, but one hundred percent belongs to God. It's good to give a seventh of my time to God, but all of it is God's. Everything is. When I get clear on that, I find that there is more than enough to go around - enough time, enough food, enough love, enough everything.
God is enough.
