JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will remember that in any situation, I can take three simple steps to see my way through: Pray, listen, and act. Prayer attunes me to God. It quiets my mind, stills my emotions, and prepares me to receive direction
TODAY’S QUOTE
Marrying for love may be a bit risky, but it is so honest that God can't help but smile on it

IT’S THURSDAY !!
AND
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO DS#6 AND HIS WIFE!
May the dear Lord bless you both today and always!
Thankfully Thursday has arrived and now I can look forward to tomorrow which is Friday and my favorite day of the week.
The office has been unusually quiet with the boss on vacation this week. So far I’ve managed to keep busy, but today and tomorrow could be iffy ones. The weather is definitely acting like summer now and it promises to stay that way for awhile.
I finished washing clothes last night and tonight I’ll be packing my bag for the weekend. I’ll leave right from work on Friday for the camper.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S SMILE
WISDOM FROM GRANDPA
Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.
Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt, that he forgets his sugar.
Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good.
When a man marries a woman, they become one; but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never turn into an old nag.
On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the present.
A foolish husband says to his wife, "Honey, you stick to the washin', ironin', cookin', and scrubbin'. No wife of mine is gonna work."
The bonds of matrimony are a good investment, only when the interest is kept up.
Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, and make beds, and is in good health, and he's already used to taking orders.
Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age, and start bragging about it.
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, remember about Algebra.
I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you.
If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Jesus spoke to them, saying, Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid
Matthew 14:27
Sometimes we are overwhelmed by life. It is I, was spoken when Jesus told His terrified disciples that He Himself was presence enough to stop the howling storm and calm the raging seas Whatever our circumstances, Jesus is present with His love, compassion, and grace. He is proof, presence, and provision enough to carry us safely through
TODAY’S ADVICE
For good luck, wish on a wagonload of hay. But, if the hay is baled, you’ll have to wait until the bales are opened for the wish to come true
40 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 !!!
