If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
A star shall advance from Jacob, and a staff shall rise from Israel
Numbers 24:17
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Max Ehrmann
After reading about the star and the shepherds this age old prophesy from the book of Numbers makes a lot of sense doesn’t it. That is the way life sometimes is we don’t see the reason for things till quite some time later on. I don’t try to reason why much at all any more. I figure everything has a reason and purpose so just try to go with the flow.
Today our weather is taking a turn toward much warmer temps. We’ll go above freezing and into the 40’s for a few days. That means rain is also headed our way. In case you are tired of looking at the white stuff, it should pretty much be washing away.
I have a feeling it will be back though. That is no prophesy…just a matter of fact. Snow pretty much continues on from now until sometime in March or April. Yes, we have had many April snows. But then Spring is here and they don’t last.
Hope you all have a great Thursday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Be humble for you are made of earth.
Be noble for you are made of stars.
Serbian Proverb
I have counted at least 3 things every day that 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.
1235. for my to do lists that are growing shorter
1236. for snow plows and salt
1237. for temps above freezing
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 ALL !
Christmas, my child, is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas.
Dale Evans Rogers
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

"90 days until spring"... MA, we are going from 60 today to the twenties tonight, and then the teens this weekend. Sleet, rain, and snow.
Our Christmas celebration is in doubt, now. I'm keeping the Christmas spirit in my heart, though!
I think it is neat to see how the prophecies of the Old Testament came true in the New Testament with Jesus :)
Let's hope the rain is not a freezing rain! We know what happens then to the roads. But glad it did warm up a bit!
