Happy Birthday to DDIL#1 today!
May the dear Lord bless you today and always!
Hope you have a very Happy Birthday and enjoy your special day!
May the sun shine, all day long,
everything go right, and nothing wrong.
May those you love bring love back to you,
and may all the wishes you wish come true!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
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
This picture is of my DD and DDIL#1. My daughter always wanted a sister, but instead she got 6 brothers. Thankfully those brothers choose some wonderful girls for wives and now DD has some sisters. These two are the best of friends and I love their SMILES when they are together.
This is another long distance birthday and my card went out in the mail a few days ago, but we’ll all be getting together for Thanksgiving in just a couple of weeks. We can catch up on the celebrations then. It’ll be one long day filled with good times and laughter.
It seems I don’t have any recent photos of this DIL so today’s pictures are from this past years family get togethers.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!
PRAYER REQUEST
Today and across the weekend we heard of the thousands of people who have died in the Philippians, as a result of the worse storm on record. It seems the horror of the story is only unfolding. It goes beyond words and today we pray for those who have died, for their heartbroken families, for those involved in the search and rescue and for those trying to help thousands of families left homeless.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The gift of a smile transforms the receiver...and giver.
I have counted at least 3 things I'm thankful for this past year and have now reached my 1000 gifts. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1124. for DDIL#1, whose winning smile and caring ways have made her a special member of our family
1125. for a family that are also friends
1126. for friends that are like family
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 !
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

You have a beautiful family. Happy Birthday to DDIL#1 Blessings
Happy Birthday to your beautiful DDIL#1. We are getting some more cold weather starting to night, I think. It's windy and cold already on the outside, but fills nice in here. Lol.
Happy birthday to DDIL#1. I bet you are looking forward to that Thanksgiving celebration with your family! I know, its a terrible situation in the Philippines; definitely prayers for them indeed!

There must be a lot of birthdays in your family Pam. It seems you are always celebrating! That is a wonderful thing! I adore the last quote by Emmerson. I have loved Emmerson since I first read Leaves of Grass when I was just a girl. There was a condensed version of it in our encyclopedia. I guess I have always loved poetry. My deepest prayers and thoughts go out to those in the Philippines. Such a sad, sad situation there. There, but for the Grace of God go we. We must do whatever we can to help them. xxoo
Happy Birthday!! :)
Happy Birthday!! :)
