TODAY'S THOUGHT
A Jewish legend tells us that King Solomon once asked a jeweler to design a ring and inscribe words on the ring band that would be true and appropriate at all times and in all situations.
Some days later, the jeweler brought the king a ring inscribed with the words, This too shall pass.
On bad days, the king would read the inscription and be reassured, and when he was having an especially good day, the king would read it and be sobered
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will meet challenges squarely and spiritually by turning to God, my powerful ally, for assistance. I will consciously let go of any anxious thoughts.

IT’S SATURDAY !!
It’s great to be waking up nice and slowly with my good cup of coffee this morning. It’s my first weekend in quite awhile that I’ve not gone to the camper however, and it does seem a little strange.
My old camping buddy and I are meeting for breakfast this morning so that will certainly brighten my day. It’s been far too long since we got together.
The weekend will be busy just doing things around home here. Other than breakfast this morning and Church tomorrow morning I’ll probably be home.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
