TODAY'S THOUGHT
If our need had been information, God would have sent us an educator. If our need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. If our need had been pleasure, God would have sent us an entertainer. But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Savior

IT’S WEDNESDAY !!
OVER THE HUMP DAY!
I had a great supper over at DS#5’s yesterday evening and I’d like to say thank you very much to them. It’s not often that their busy schedule allows time for us to get together like that. I even got a small dish of leftovers for my lunch today.
This evening I need to finish up the laundry and get packed for the weekend. I’ll be leaving after work tomorrow because Friday is a vacation day.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS
Teach us, Lord, to do the little things as though they were great, because of the majesty of Christ who does them in us and who lives our life. Teach us to do the greatest things as though they were little and easy because of his great power.
Amen
prayer written by Blaise Pascal
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their

Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the

in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
GOD BLESS YOU!

TODAY’S SMILE
On the first day of school, a teacher was glancing over the roll when she noticed a number after each student's name, such as 154, 136 or 142.
Wow! Look at these IQs, she said to herself.
What a terrific class.
The teacher promptly determined to work harder with this class than with any other she ever had.Throughout the year, she came up with innovative lessons that she thought would challenge the students, because she didn't want them to get bored with work that was too easy.Her plan worked!
The class outperformed all the other classes that she taught in the usual way.Then, during the last quarter of the year, she discovered what those numbers after the students' name really were: their locker numbers

TODAY’S REFLECTION
How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.
Matthew 7:14
Jesus never promised that the Christian life would be easy. He never said we would have a problem-free existence if we chose to follow him through that narrow gate. Jesus has promised that he will never leave you.
Do you know that Jesus is with you every step you take? As you walk the road that God has laid out for you, your life can be filled with meaning and purpose—even if that meaning is shaded from your eyes right now. His mercy will cover you, and his strength will empower you
TODAY’S ADVICE
When the perfume of flowers is unusually strong, expect rain
90 DAYS TIL FALL!
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 !!!

Finally a few minutes to comment. I always read even if I don't always have the time to comment!! Once again you have given us some good reading and food for thought! You are so lucky that you live close enough to your children that you can spend time with them. I can only wish, perhaps one day . . .
