IT’S SATURDAY !!
Here I am once more with my good cup of coffee and loving every moment of not having to hurry off to work today.
We barely went past the freezing mark yesterday and the wind kept it below freezing with the wind chill factor added in. Today they say it’ll be warmer and partly sunny.
With much lighter and brighter days I’m finding my poor old house needs a bit of Spring cleaning. There appears to be cobwebs in the corners and dust on the shelves. So with that said you now know what I’m going to do today.
It is amazing how a little sunshine changes the appearance of things.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S SMILE
Something to remember when feeling down....
If you own just one Bible, you are abundantly blessed 1/3 of the world does not have access to even one.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people around the world.
If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest or torture or death, you are more blessed that almost three billion people in the world.
If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still married and alive, you are very rare, even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you prayed yesterday and today, you are in the minority because you believe in God's willingness to hear and answer prayer.
If you believe in Jesus as the Son of God, you are part of a very small minority in the world.
If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.
SOMETHING TO DO FOR LENT
Pray today for those too distracted to hear God’s voice.

It's amazing how a bit of sunshine will show up all the things that need to be dusted and cleaned!! I'm not complaining though, will take the sunshine over the alternative any day of the week! Happy Sunday!
