TODAY'S THOUGHT
The world is so fast that there are days when the person who says it can't be done is interrupted by the person who is doing it
Unknown
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will become still, take a deep breath, and remember the words of a century-old hymn: It is well with my soul. I will spend a few moments in prayer knowing that all is well in spirit and in truth
When peace like a river, attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
penned by hymnist Horatio Spafford and composed by Philip Bliss
TODAY’S QUOTE
For disappearing acts, it's hard to beat what happens to the eight hours supposedly left after eight of sleep and eight of work

IT’S TUESDAY !!
After a very cold start of 35 degrees here yesterday morning it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day. I did see frost on the ground on my way to work so I hope no ones plants were damaged. I haven’t planted any yet so there is no fear there.
I stopped on my way home from work and put fresh flowers for Memorial Day on my folks and my grandparents grave sites. I will probably go Wednesday and put them on my DDH’s too. Memorial Day is next Monday but being away all weekend I thought I’d better get it done now.
This evening I plan to get together with my dulcimer buddies. We haven’t met since January so I doubt we’ll play much music. We’ll probably do a lot more talking and laughing than anything.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS
Lord, we worry about so many things: our future, our security, our problems. In our difficulties, Lord, let us never forget your promise to be with us always and to send us your Spirit. Help us to relax and let go, to seek first the kingdom, and trust in your grace
Amen

TODAY’S SMILE
A very dirty little fellow came in from playing in the yard and asked his mother,
Who am I?
Ready to play the game she said,
I don't know! Who are you?
WOW! cried the child.
Mrs. Johnson was right! She said I was so dirty, my own mother wouldn't recognize me
TODAY’S REFLECTION
But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go
John 16: 7
The apostles are sad because Jesus is leaving them. They are tense, afraid that without him they will be leaderless and lost. And so they will be—for a while.But Jesus tells them to relax: he will not leave them alone. He is sending the Spirit, who will instruct their hearts, and they will learn more about Jesus from the Spirit than they ever did from Jesus himself. They have to learn to let him go, before they can ever really be part of him
