TODAY'S THOUGHT
It is true that if we look after others, God will look after us - and do a lot better job of it than we can
Arthur E. Yensen
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I am ready to be forgiving and to move on with my life. God is with me in every moment and in every situation. Forgiveness frees my heart, mind, and spirit.
TODAY’S QUOTE
I would rather walk with God in the dark than go alone in the light
Mary Gardiner Brainard
IT’S WEDNESDAY !!
Over the Hump we go!
Mid week has arrived and I am ready for that slide right into the weekend. One more day of work after today and it will be here.
Weekends are my reward for many years of hard work and no play. Maybe I shouldn’t be so excited about the days off from work, as every day is special, but having worked so many years, I just cannot help but rejoice in days off.
I admit it, I am getting older and I need more R & R than I used to. To some of you I am still a young thing, to others I’m known as the old geezer. I just know that I used to put in a lot more hours and did more things than I can now.
We were forecast some rain on Tuesday but it seems most of it went south of us and the rest of the week through Sunday looks to be mid 80’s with partly cloudy skies and no rain. That will be a record for this summer if it happens. 5 days with out rain just has not happened here yet this year.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS
God, help us to follow Jesus' example, finding peace and stillness in our busy lives. May we not be too busy or too preoccupied to listen to your voice
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 SMILE
PHILOSOFACTS
A key ring is a handy little gadget that allows you to lose all your keys at once.
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it has stopped snowing.
I'm convinced that in a past life I was somebody named Occupant, and they're still forwarding my mail.
I've changed my mind a dozen times. It seems to work better now
TODAY’S REFLECTION
At once Jesus spoke to them,
Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid
Matthew 14:27
Every day, the world tries to tell us to be self-sufficient. And every day, the Holy Spirit wants to teach us to fix our eyes on Jesus. In the end, it comes down to our decision. We can learn how to be prepared for any situation by walking with the Lord, or we can try to go it alone and be at the mercy of every storm that blows our way
TODAY’S ADVICE
Peaches should be only the slightest bit soft when you buy them. Too soft means they are too ripe. The skin should have no green, only yellow-orange with red smudges. Green peaches will not ripen properly. Any bruises on the surface are hiding larger bruises inside
48 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 !!!
MA
