TODAY’S QUOTE

The human heart feels things the eyes cannot see,
and knows what the mind cannot understand.

Robert Vallet


IT’S TUESDAY !!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DS#6 AND OUR PRINCESS TODAY!
May the dear Lord bless you both today and always !

Monday is over and Tuesday is here…Are you ready for it?
For some it will be a day of celebration . Our birthday people will have something special planned I know. For others like me, it will be just another work day, but we can make those ordinary days special ones too.

I am so happy the temps have gone up over ‘0’ degrees and the roads are clear of ice and snow. That is a cause for celebrating for sure. I went over to the drug store on my lunch hour yesterday and was greeted by some birds chirping at the doorway. They must have found shelter up under the eaves there someplace. I couldn’t see them, but I could hear them. That was a cheerful sound to hear. I guess they were celebrating too.

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !


TODAY’S PRAYERS

TODAY’S SMILE

Country Words of Wisdom:

Don’t name a pig you plan to eat.

Country fences need to be horse high, pig tight, and bull strong.

Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps.

A bumble bee is faster than a John Deere tractor.

Trouble with a milk cow is she won’t stay milked.

Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled.

To know how country folks are doing, look at their barns, not their houses.

Man is the only critter who feels the need to label things as flowers or weeds.

Don’t wrestle with pigs: You’ll get all muddy and the pigs will love it.

One more….

There is a marvelous story of a man who once stood before God, his heart breaking from the pain and injustice in the world. “Dear God,” he cried out, “look at all the suffering , the anguish and distress in the world. Why don’t you send help?”

God responded, “I did send help. I sent you”

When we tell our children that story, we must tell them that each one of them was sent to help repair the broken world-and that it is not the task of an instant or of a year, but of a lifetime.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Psalm 139:14

A quote in George MacDonald’s book David Elginbrod speaks to those who wonder, at times, why God has made them the way they are—and who wish they were someone else.
Lady Emily muses: “I wish I were you, Margaret.”
Margaret answers: “If I were you, my lady, I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of. For to have been thought about—born in God’s thoughts—and then made by God, is the dearest, grandest, most precious thing in all thinking.”
It’s a comforting thought to know that we’re not a terrible mistake, but a very special creation, born in God’s thoughts.

You are one of a kind—designed to glorify God as only you can
