HAPPY WEDNESDAY !!
OVER THE HUMP DAY!
After today only two more days of this work week left and then next week I’ll only be working three days as I’ve off on Thanksgiving and a vacation day on Friday. I’ll be getting together with all my children for a couple of days. How wonderful it will be.
Did I mention that I’m getting excited???
The weatherman has been right so far this week. Cold and snow everyday so far.
I’m just hanging in there and counting the days down until camping season begins again. It’s just not the camping that I’m looking forward to but being warm and seeing sunshine is the big thing.
Even with all the layers of clothing I wear, I just can’t seem to shake the chill off when it gets down below freezing. It almost seems impossible that just a short while ago I was wearing my shorts and flip flops.
Take good care all !
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS
Please pray for God's protection of

Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
GOD BLESS YOU!
25 WORDS
God, I thank You for today, for the ways You will bless me,

TODAY’S REFLECTION
But you, beloved, are not in darkness, for that day to surprise you like a thief; for you are all children of light and children of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness.
1 Thessalonians 5:4-5
The past is gone and the future is not yet. We are left with now, the present, this moment. And it is enough, because God is in the moment
There is a difference in living in spiritual night, or soul darkness, and living in the light. Those whose lives are lighted by something other than what they can put on or in their bodies — that’s belonging to the light.
People whose lives are lighted by something stronger than their addictions and by Someone more forgiving than they are of themselves — that’s belonging to the light
