THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again.
Menachem Mendel Schneerson
This wonderful DIL is the mom of our Mr.Wonderful, our little sweet sugar AB and our darling little Cutie Patootie, so I know that this day will be a busy one as usual for her. Sometimes when you are a busy mom all days seem alike. But as I look back and remember those days in my life, I know that these are some of the happiest times of your life. Our children are truly the best gift we could ever receive.
We’ve been blessed here with some wonderfully warm days. It feels so good to have some fresh air with the windows wide open and not have to keep things closed up for warmth. The days are so much longer and I often wake up to daylight these mornings. Well officially it says sunrise is at 6:17 am now but it is light out just before sun rises too.
For the first time in ages, I actually shut the furnace off. Maybe for a little while now we’ll need neither heat nor air conditioning and just be able to enjoy the wonderful in between the hot and cold weather that Springtime can bring.
I hope you all are enjoying some wonderful Spring weather too and have a super Saturday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.
Mary Manin Morrissey
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for over a year and have now reached 1600 gifts. On my way to 2000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1655. for DDIL#5, we celebrate her birthday today
1656. for the wonderful warm days we are having, finally the chill is off
1657. for longer daylight hours to enjoy
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 !
There are exactly as many special occasions in life as we choose to celebrate.
Robert Brault
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

Happy birthday to your DDIL#5, Ma! What cute pictures you featured here! So true about being busy as a mom with young children, some days seem to fly by, others seem to go forever especially if they are sick, but those are happy days indeed! And they tend to go by way too fast! I am glad to hear you turned off the furnace. That will help a bit with expense before summer air conditioning. It was funny here, we didn't run our heater in March because it was pleasant weather and we didn't need it, but then had to run it a few days at the beginning of April. I doubt we'll be running it any more this season. Glad to hear the warm pleasant days are being enjoyed by you!

Your daughter in law and son have a lovely family... have a happy Mother's Day, MA!
Happy Mother's Day, Ma and Happy Birthday to your lovely daughter in law. What a pretty family they have. I'm sure she stayed busy, but enjoyed every minute with those sweet children. Take care, Jean
