Today is Make Your Dream Come True Day. Whatever your dreams are, they usually don't come true without some effort on your part. So, today is the perfect opportunity to do something about it.
Do something, anything, to move in the direction of achieving your dreams. Sure, sometimes it takes several steps to accomplish them. So view today as a time to get started on them. Inspire your near and dear ones to do the same and turn their dreams to reality. With a little effort, they will come true!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Pay attention to your dreams - God's angels often speak directly to our hearts when we are asleep.
Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994
I’ve had many of my dreams come true, but most of the time it took a lot of work and determination. Nothing that is worthwhile ever comes easy.
Lately my dreams have all been about spring and warmer weather. I miss sitting out on my porch and patio. I am trying to supplement the A and C that sunshine provides by the food I’m eating. Our bodies need them in winter too.
This week I’m going to work at finding some of my artificial flowers stored away here to make it look much springier.
Usually I wait till February to do that but winter has been much harder this year.
Hope you all have great start to the new week ahead. Happy Monday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
I'll take the dream I had last night,
And put it in my freezer,
So someday long and far away,
When I'm an old grey greezer,
I'll take it out and thaw it out,
This lovely dream I've frozen,
And boil it up and sit me down
And dip my old cold toes in.
Shel Silverstein, Frozen Dream, A Light in the Attic
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.
1310. for dreams that come true
1311. for spring flowers even if they are artificial
1312. for fragrant candles that smell like spring
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

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 !
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.
J.K. Rowling
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

I like this day of making your dreams come true, Ma. I'll make sure I spend some time today working on some things I want to change in my life to help make those dreams come true indeed!
