PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their

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.

It is truly a gift to be alive
I believe in remembering birthdays with gusto. It’s a celebration of presents, candles, cake, and special wishes. It’s a day to honor life, reflect, and set goals for the future.
Birthdays are the perfect excuse celebrate with a special ritual. The millionaire who began assembly-line auto production, Henry Ford would put an old shoe on his foot every birthday to remind himself that he had once been poor and could be poor again.
I always celebrate all my children's birthdays whether I get to be with them on their special day or not. Each one is a truly a gift to me.
Life is a Miracle
Life is a miracle
Don't let it slip away,
Open your heart to others
Give of yourself each day.
See the beauty in everyone
Regardless of where they've been,
Some have a difficult journey
And really need a friend.
Share your gifts and talents
Listen with your heart.
Do the things you dream about
But don't have time to start.
Pick a bouquet of flowers
Show someone that you care,
Be gracious and forgiving
Life is never fair.
Hold on to your courage
You may need it down the road,
We all have a cross to bear
It could be a heavy load.
If you practice all these things
No matter where you roam,
You may find both sun and rain
But you'll never feel alone!

COUNTING THE DAYS
There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents... and only one for birthday presents, you know.
Lewis Carroll
44 DAYS UNTIL FALL
Keep looking ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of things.
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near…
Love,
ma
