HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DD AND DS#3 TODAY!
May the dear Lord Bless you both today and always!
Although you were born just a year apart you always seemed like twins to me. Two peas in a pod. I’ll always remember how close you were when you were little, always doing everything together. I hope you’ll always stay close as you grow older too.
Sending lots of love and wishes to you both for a HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

I was blessed to get together with these two a few weeks ago to celebrate their birthday and today’s picture were take then. It took a bit of coordination to find a date they were both available as they are both so busy with their own family activities, but we did it and several others of my family were able to come for dinner that day to help celebrate too.
When you have a large family it seems that you have to schedule dates if you want to be able to get together. Even with putting things on the calendar, things can change in an instant but at least when we plan ahead there is more chance of it happening.
We all know the old saying, failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and while it might sound like a cliché, it's grounded in fact. he importance of planning ahead is obvious. Even though you can't predict if the plans will work out, you need to plan ahead the best you can.
This story below is about three fish…have a good laugh at the end of it :)
Three fish lived in a pond. One was named 'Plan ahead', another was 'Think fast' and the third was called 'Wait and see'. One day they heard a fisherman say he would be going to cast his net in their pond the next day.
'Plan ahead' said, I am swimming down the river tonight.
'Think fast' said, I am sure I will come up with a plan.
'Wait and See’, lazily said, I just can’t think about it now.
When the fisherman cast his nets, 'Plan ahead' was able to escape from his nets. But 'Think fast’ and 'Wait and see' were caught by the fisherman.
'Think fast’ quickly rolled his belly up and pretended to be dead. Oh, this fish is no good! said the fisherman and threw him safely back into the water. However, 'Wait and see' ended up in the fish market.
That is why people say, In times of danger, when the net is cast, plan ahead or plan to think fast!
When it comes down to it, I think we have to prioritize what’s important in life and then make plans to make it happen.
We had our first 90 degree day here yesterday since last September. It started out overcast but for the most part it was sunny and very windy. It looks like we had rain overnight though and today we have a slightly higher chance of rain and temps in the high 80’s. Keep cool everyone!
Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!
He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out the plan, carries a thread that will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life.

COUNTING MY GIFTS
Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.
Horace
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for over a year and have now reached over 1700 gifts. On my way to 2000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1772. for DD and DS#3 whose birthdays we celebrate today
1773. for one plan that worked out right
1774. for funny stories that prove a point
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 down. Written goals have a way of transforming wishes into wants; cant's into cans; dreams into plans; and plans into reality. Don't just think it -- ink it!

Good morning and Happy Birthday you two, one-day-after-my own. June birthdays always include strawberries, didn't I see those on the cake? It is pouring this morning, and after the 90 degrees we won't need to water! It is a wonderful day.
Happy birthday to your daughter and son, Ma! How neat they were born on the same day a year apart! They sure kept you busy, I'm sure! Neat too that they are close by and can spend time with each other as they can with their families!
I loved that story about the fish; copied it out to share with some people!

Happy Birthday to your daughter and son. We had a storm here last night, and I've been busy all day trying to clean up the yards.
Happy Birthdays all around!! That fish story was too cute... I've been trying to get back to list planning at home and at work... I've been feeling so unorganized lately and realized I'm missing my lists... :)
