IT’S WEDNESDAY !!
OVER THE HUMP DAY!
Today is the day that DS#1 and his family fly down to the sunny and warm south. They couldn’t have picked a better time to take vacation. We’re having some frigid temps here for the next few days. I’ll be praying they have a safe trip and totally get to enjoy their vacation.
We did have some white out conditions with the wind and snow blowing yesterday. Today should be a little calmer, but much colder they say. Our low for the night was supposed to have been 3 degrees. BrrrChill!
I suppose I’ll be saying that a lot so be prepared. I’m beginning to think I may need to get a bigger coat. All the layers of clothing I’ve been wearing are making my old one feel a little snug.
Take good care all and keep warm!
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

A surprise toast at a wedding goes this way:"And finally, may the happy couple lie, steal and cheat. (Pause, then explains) May they lie in each other's arms, may they steal away for a blissful honeymoon, and may they cheat time and live long and happy lives
When his auto mechanic came in for an operation, the doctor couldn't help but take the opportunity to turn the tables on him.
"Well Mr. Mechanic," the doctor said, "It's going to take at least five days for the parts to get in. As for the cost, there's no way to tell until we get in there and see exactly what the problem is
When I was a young man I asked an old rich man if he could tell me how he made his money. In response, the gentleman fingered his worsted wool vest and said...
"Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel. I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents.
The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37.
Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars
A friend just gave me a report containing statistics indicating that last year 4,153,237 people got married.
Now, I'm not trying to start any trouble, but I can't help wondering... shouldn't that be an even number?

TODAY’S REFLECTION
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit
Job 7:11
God wants us to come to Him with our complaints. If we march through life pretending to smile while inside we bleed, we dishonor the relationship
Give Him each perplexing problem,All your needs to Him make known;Bring to Him your daily burdens—Never carry them alone!
