Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well chosen, well timed, sincere words of praise. They're absolutely free and worth a fortune

IT’S THANKFUL THURSDAY !!

Oh yes, I am a thankful person today. I survived Wednesday. It started off good. I was even up early and off to work. Trouble began after I got there. Wednesday is rubbish day there and I always roll the bin out to the curb. Which I promptly did soon after arriving at work. I just went out the door and shut it and guess what…I locked myself out of the office.

My purse, keys, and cell phone were all inside waiting for me. The bosses were all out of town and I had no idea who would have a key. We do have close neighbors so I went to their door and asked to use their phone. They were so nice and let me. I called my boss on vacation and told him what had happened. He told me his FIL’s sister had a key as she had his key ring and to call her. I got her out of bed that early in the morning, but she gracefully brought the key over for me. A little over an hour later I could finally start to work.

Now just in case that ever happens again, I now have an extra key hidden in a spot known only to me so that I can get back in the office. What a start to the day that was. I felt worn out by it all before I even got started.

Friday it is supposed to rain so I got most everything for the camper loaded into my car last evening. That way it will all stay dry. It is jam packed. The thing of it is I probably still forgot something important too.

Take good care all !

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

A THOUGHT FOR HOLY THURSDAY

Jesus began what became his Last Supper with the washing of his disciples’ feet. He showed them and us, one last time, that we are meant to do as he did and bring forth the Christ consciousness through our relationships and the way we treat one another.

Eye to eye. Heart to heart. Flesh to flesh.
This is the only way the kingdom will come

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Do you realize what I have done for you? You call me Teacher and Master and rightly so, for indeed, I am. If I, therefore, the Master and Teacher have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet.

John 13:12-14

Today I will humbly serve others

TODAY’S ADVICE

Psalm 37:4

May there be a miracle in YOUR life today
and may you have the EYES to SEE it!

I Love You All !!!

Be Blessed !!!
