IT’S THURSDAY !!

It did get up to 37 yesterday, but it wasn’t exactly what I would call porch sittin’ weather. I came home and stayed in and wasn’t able to soak up any warmth out side for sure. It will come though, it always does.

One of the weathermen on the radio said this morning that soon we’ll be too hot and complaining about that…not me, I will not complain. I may turn on the a/c but I will not complain. Not one bit…

Tonight is my Bible study night and besides work that is about all that is happening around here ….all is very quiet.

Take good care all !

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

TODAY’S SMILE

Once upon a time, when God had finished making the world, he wanted to leave behind a piece of His own divinity, a spark of His essence, a promise to man of what he could become, with effort.
He looked for a place to hide this precious gift because, He explained, what man could find too easily would never be valued by him."Then you must hide this gift on the highest mountain peak on earth," said one of his counselors.

God shook His head, "No, for man is an adventuresome creature and he will soon enough learn to climb the highest mountain peaks.""Hide it then, O Great One, in the depths of the earth.""I think not," said God. "for man will one day discover that he can dig into the deepest parts of the earth.""

In the middle of the ocean then, Master?"God shook His head. "I've given man a brain, you see, and one day he'll learn to build ships and cross the mightiest oceans.""Where then, Master?" cried His counselors.

God smiled, "I'll hide it where every man and woman will be able to find it if they look sincerely and deeply enough. I'll hide it in their heart.


God is so big He can cover the whole world with His love,
and so small He can curl up inside your heart.

SOMETHING TO DO FOR LENT
