TODAY'S THOUGHT
Every thought is a seed. If you plant crab apples, don't count on harvesting Golden Delicious

JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will live my life in the present moment, and make that moment as perfect as I can. Remembering that we are the instruments and expression of God Himself.
TODAY’S QUOTE
Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so
Mary Jean Iorn
IT’S WEDNESDAY !!
OVER THE HUMP DAY!
Well my Tuesday was just beautiful. The weather warmed up and the sun was shining. How great it felt to be warm again! Thank the dear Lord for His many blessings. Today we’ll be even warmer. We should be in the low 70’s by afternoon.
The cold and flu bugs are continuing to go around here. My boss will be out today as he has to stay home with a sick child. He has two that have been sick but one is going back to school today. My hair dresser called in sick yesterday too, so my hair cut was cancelled and rescheduled for next week. I’ll just have to be shaggy awhile longer. At least I’m not sick and that is a wonderful thing.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS
Please join me in praying for a friends sister today as she will be having some major surgery. 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.
We pray all things in Jesus name,
Thy will be done Lord.
Father, I trust You alone for my daily needs. May I never turn from You in times of success and affluence
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 ALL!

TODAY’S SMILE
While recently waiting in line at the bank, I developed a very loud case of hiccups. Try as I might, I could not rid myself of them or conceal the embarrassing noise, and by the time I reached the teller's window, the hiccups seemed to have actually worsened.
The teller took my personal check I wished to cash and proceeded to run a computer verification of my account.
After a minute she looked up from her terminal with a frown and said that she would be unable to cash my check.
Oh? What's wrong I asked, getting slightly worried and beginning to feel a bit of anxiety creeping up my spine.
I'm sorry, sir, she replied, but our computer indicates that you do not have sufficient funds to cover this amount. As a matter of fact, she continued, our records show your account overdrawn in excess of $5000.
You have to be kidding! I said.
After a short pause she smiled.
Yes, I am, she answered and began to cash the check.
But you will notice that your hiccups are gone
TODAY’S REFLECTION
I will say to myself: You have blessings in reserve for years to come. Relax!
Luke 12:19
The man in today's Gospel was already rich (Lk 12:16). He had several grain bins on his property (Lk 12:18). It had been a year since his last harvest, and still he had no room to store this year's harvest
Though rich, he was worried about his future. He could have thanked God for a bountiful harvest; instead, he told himself he was finally financially secure enough to relax. When deciding how to handle his harvest, he consulted himself rather than God
Some of us could fall into this trap of desiring to be secure for the rest of our life . The only treasures any of us can count on keeping for eternity are the ones we have given up for love of God and his children.
It makes no sense to store up our talents and gifts. No one would benefit from that. So be generous! Give your time and resources to the Lord! The more you give away, the more he fills you with the treasures of his life, his love, and his blessings
TODAY’S ADVICE
Honey is the only food that does not spoil. Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs has been tasted by archaeologists and found edible
61 DAYS UNTIL WINTER !
65 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS
AND
177 DAYS UNTIL CAMPING SEASON BEGINS
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 !!!
