TODAY'S THOUGHT
Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life--learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some
Robert Fulghum
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will stay focused and avoid pulling up negative images of the past. With God, I am guided to live in the present moment.
TODAY’S QUOTE
I would sooner live in a cottage and wonder at everything than live in a castle and wonder at nothing!

IT’S TUESDAY !!
Monday started off with some rain, but today is supposed to be a sunny one.
I do appreciate the sunshine! Every thing looks like and feels like summertime for sure. I love this season of the year.
I still am in awe of how beautiful nature is. It’s almost hard to believe that just a short time ago everything was bleak and cold here. Now that the nicer days are upon us I’m sure the time will fly.
I am going to take advantage of it while I can. Things like watching the hummers at their feeders and watching the flowers bloom and grow seem like a perfect summer past time to me.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS
Lord our God,
may I learn
to treat others generously,
with respect,
and with care and understanding,
that we may all
bring out the best in one another.
Amen
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
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.
GOD BLESS YOU!

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Our hope for you is firm
2 Corinthians 1:7
Jesus sent the Spirit to his disciples because he knew that his death would shake them to the core, and that they would need the Spirit to be with them if they were going to build his church. As followers of Christ, we also face challenges at times. And though we are guaranteed trials in this life, we are also guaranteed that his Spirit will support and strengthen us
TODAY’S ADVICE
Use empty metal breath-mint containers for holding seeds
12 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER!
Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your Heart
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 !!!
