TODAY'S THOUGHT
Learn how to separate the majors and the minors. A lot of people don't do well simply because they major in minor things
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will make regular prayer or meditation appointments, ensuring that I have time alone with God each day. Centering myself in God, the source of all life, brings life into perspectiveTODAY’S QUOTE
Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere

IT’S THURSDAY !!
I’m hanging in there, barely. I still have 2 days of work left this week and sitting at my desk all day is getting mighty hard to do. I would much rather be sitting around the campfire. That’s for sure.
Rain continues to be in the forecast today but maybe tomorrow we’ll see some sunshine and also a little warmer temps. I keep saying how unusually cool it’s been for July, but it has.
Please join me in prayer this week for a dear friend that lost her husband and for another who’s husband had a heart attack and now has pneumonia. Another person I know lost their father too. It’s been a hard week for some it seems and my heart goes out to them in prayer.
Don’t forget to give those you love a hug today!
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS
Lord, be with me this day and help me check my need to judge others. Help me place my trust in you today
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.

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 !

After the journey … they pitched camp
Exodus 19:2
It is a precious gift to have our eyes and ears opened so that we may see and understand the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. May God help us not to take that gift for granted and to be attentive to the Word of Life which is graciously given to us, so that we may indeed dwell in this kingdom with our brothers and sisters in the Lord
