THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The only camping out I'm doing is right here at home this year. My back patio and front porch are the places I camp out. Not overnight for sure, but for a few hours on nice days, I do like to sit awhile and just take in the great outdoors. Sorry to say that much of this past week I didn't even do much of that as the temps and the humidity made it too uncomfortable to be outside for any length of time. We have had a lot of rain the past few days.
DS# 1 and his son were at Scout camp last week and that is their picture shown above and there is one of our Prince Charming is shown below. The other pictures are of my backyard.
Hope you all have a fantastic Friday and enjoy some time in your own backyards.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere.
Vincent Van Gogh
I am trying to count at least 3 things I'm thankful for each day and then in 1 year's time I'll have counted 1000 gifts. I’ll be sharing them and giving thanks to God for these gifts each day.
712. for backyards
713. for the great outdoors
714. thankful that both DDIL's #4 and #5's moms are doing well after their surgeries.
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
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.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU !
Look for the blessings in the simple things!
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

No camping for me, either, MA... I spent the day outside with my grands and I'm worn out tonight, and admit it. It's a nice evening, too... not a bit hot and humid!
