JUST FOR TODAY

We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives

Just for today: I will turn my thoughts inward and open my mind and heart to God. In this way, I make whatever I am doing a prayer


TODAY’S QUOTE


Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark

George Iles

IT’S SATURDAY !!

AND

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEETHEART!

May the dear Lord bless you today and always!

As we are not camping this weekend I’m not going to be able to celebrate with her but hopefully will see her next weekend.

The weather did try to clear a little yesterday afternoon and we did see the sun peep through briefly but there is still a chance of showers and it supposed to be very windy again.

As I have time on my hands here at home this weekend I’m going to try and get a few things done around the house and that’s about it.

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !


TODAY’S PRAYERS

A friend has asked for prayers for her daughter who will be having surgery later this month. Please join me in praying for her. May the dear Lord bless her with a successful surgery and a speedy recovery and may He guide the hands of the doctors caring for her.


Dear God, when I am prone to worry, remind me to choose to trust in you, surrender my worries to you, and not keep taking them back. Gratefully in Jesus' name

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.

Amen!

TODAY’S SMILE

Nineteen Some things To Say To Children
I love you! There is nothing that will make me stop loving you. Nothing you could do or say or think will ever change that.
1. You are amazing! I look at you with wonder! Not just at what you can do, but who you are. There is no one like you. No one!
2. It's all right to cry. People cry for all kinds of reasons: when they are hurt, sad, glad, or worried; when they are angry, afraid, or lonely. Big people cry too. I do.
3. You've made a mistake. That was wrong. People make mistakes. I do. Is it something we can fix? What can we do? It's all over. You can start fresh. I know you are sorry. I forgive you.
4. You did the right thing. That was scary or hard. Even though it wasn't easy, you did it. I am proud of you; you should be too.
5. I'm sorry. Forgive me. I made a mistake.
6. You can change your mind. It's good to decide, but it is also fine to change.
7. What a great idea! You were really thinking! How did you come up with that? Tell me more. Your mind is clever!
8. That was kind. You did something helpful and thoughtful for that person. That must make you feel good inside. Thank you!
9. I have a surprise for you. It's not your birthday. It's for no reason at all. Just a surprise, a little one, but a surprise.
10. I can wait. We have time. You don't have to hurry this time.
11. What would you like to do? It's your turn to pick. You have great ideas. It's important to follow your special interests.
12. Tell me about it. I'd like to hear more. And then what happened? I'll listen.
13. I'm right here. I won't leave without saying good-bye. I am watching you. I am listening to you.
14. Please and Thank You. These are important words. If I forget to use them, will you remind me?
15. I missed you. I think about you when we are not together!
16. Just try. A little bit. One taste, one step. You might like it. Let's see. I'll help you if you need it. I think you can do it.
17. I'll help you. I heard you call me, here I am. How can I help you? If we both work together, we can get this done. I know you can do it by yourself, but I'm glad to help since you asked.
18. What do you wish for? Even if it's not yet time for birthday candles and we don't have a wishbone, it's still fun to hear about what you wish for, hope for, and dream about.

These are not only good things to say to children but most adults would love hearing these words too.



TODAY’S REFLECTION

Come to me…and I will give you rest
Matthew 11:28

When Jesus says, Come to me, he doesn’t say come to religion, come to a system, or come to a certain doctrine. This is a very personal invitation to a God, and invitation to a Savior.
Our God is not aloof—he’s not so far above us that he can’t see and understand our problems. Jesus isn’t a God who stayed on the mountaintop—he’s a Savior who came down and lived and worked with the people
The life of Jesus Christ is a message of hope, a message of mercy, a message of life in a dark world

By Max Lucado
