My favorite weather is bird-chirping weather

IT’S THURSDAY !!

It’s supposed to be a very cold start to the day but we may warm up to the freezing mark. I’ll be putting the layers on once more.

Tonight is Bible Study and I’m not so sure I even want to go back out in the cold after coming home, but I will.

I heard from DS#3 and his place of work had a lay off of a bunch of people but so far his job is secure. I’ll be praying it stays that way for sure. All the unemployed have my prayers.


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


TODAY’S PRAYERS

Lord Jesus, teach me to follow your example of service
Amen

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.

TODAY’S SMILE

This story was told by Paul Harvey on the radio several years ago:

A young woman was driving home from work when she snagged her fender on the bumper of another car. She was in tears as she explained that it was a new car, only a few days from the showroom. How was she ever going to explain the damaged car to her husband?

The driver of the other car was sympathetic, but explained that they must note each others license numbers and registration numbers. As the young woman reached into a large brown envelope to retrieve the documents, a piece of paper fell out.

In a heavy masculine scrawl were these words:

In case of accident ... remember, honey, it's you I love, not the car!

A 2nd Helping of Chicken Soup for the Soul

SOMETHING TO DO FOR LENT

Water your house plants today and pray for the grace to trust God with your health, your money, your children…whatever is heavy on your heart

TODAY’S REFLECTION

There was a rich man who…dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man …who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table.
Luke 16: 19-21
Today I will eat less and send a gift to help feed the hungry.

TODAY’S ADVICE
