TODAY’S QUOTE
Man needs a day of rest from the cares, toils, and trials of the six days of work in the material realm. He needs to reflect, meditate, contemplate, and to turn his eyes inward, as it were, rather than outwards.

IT’S FRIDAY !!
I knew it would come eventually and yes, it really did!
We had a day, a full day of sunshine yesterday! Wow it was like a heat wave hit us. We got up to 34 degrees the last I looked.
Today we’ll once again go above freezing but I don’t think the sun will be so prevalent.
You just cannot imagine how good it felt not being chilled through all day long.
Thank the good Lord for the blessings he sends our way.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS
Lord, whilst I pray
for peace and goodwill in our world,
I ask you to help me
to change my own attitude
for the better,
so that peace and goodwill
may start with the way I behave
towards those who have hurt me.
Inspire me to be as generous to others
as I would like them to be with me.
Amen
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
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,
and for the ways that I will serve others in Your name
TO REMEMBER…
I am in the hands of God,
and in God’s time all things will be made well.

If God Had A Refrigerator
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on
it. If He had a wallet, Your photo would be in it. He
sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every
morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.
He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose
your heart. What about the Christmas gift He sent you
in Bethlehem; not to mention that Friday at Calvary.
Face it, He's crazy about you

It was in the 60s here yesterday. I'm glad to know it's Barney's birthday. I still love Barney, even though my kids have outgrown him and they now think I'm nuts for loving a purple dinosaur.
