Always let your prayer take the form of thanksgiving,
on the assumption that God is giving you great and wonderful things

HAPPY TUESDAY !!
As of today we sort of have a plan for the week ahead. My DS#5 and I are headed for DS#3’ s house early this morning to be there in time to make breakfast for them all. We’ll be spending the entire day with them. DS#4 and family, DD and DS#6 and his wife will come in a little later in the day.
DS#1 and family will probably come in on Wednesday along with DS#2.
On Thanksgiving Day we are all going to DS#3’s for our family feast. DDIL#3’s family and all my family will be there and we’ll all be taking something to share. At this point they need family around them and want all of us there
Funeral plans have been made. Thursday will be the visitation at the funeral home which will probably be private and limited to just family. My son and his wife are just not up to a lot of visitors and conversation right now. The funeral service at their church will be Saturday morning at 11:00 and all are invited to that. After the burial everyone there will be invited back to the church for a little luncheon. The ladies at the church provide everything which is so very generous of them..
At this point no determination has been made on the cause of death. They are still waiting for some of the tests to be returned and maybe something will show up in them. Right now it is totally unknown.
I want to thank all of you for your prayers and to let you all know it means a lot to all of us.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S REFLECTION
With God all things are possible.
Matthew 19:26
Two thousand years ago, a young ruler asked Jesus an “impossible” question: “What good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” (Matt. 19:16). After an intriguing exchange, the man “went away sorrowful” (v.22) when he realized he would have to give up his wealth—the very thing he valued more than a relationship with Jesus.
This upright man had kept the letter of the law, yet had fallen short. “Who then can be saved?” asked the astonished disciples (v.25). Jesus answered, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (v.26).
Our limited ability accents God’s limitless power
