Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
The General Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed February 20th as World Day of Social Justice. Social development aims at social justice, solidarity, harmony and equality within and among countries. On this day, we contemplate what it means to be part of one human family, we acknowledge those who work to eliminate the inequalities of our world and we reflect on the meaning of global justice and human dignity
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Francis Bellamy
I’m thankful to live in a country which pledges justice for all. I do believe we were all created equal and every person has individual rights. Being a believer means that one lives a certain way, walking with the Lord, doing justice, loving kindness, living peaceably among all people.
I believe that our families are the starting point and the center for justice. We do this through our daily choices. How we treat our parents, spouses and children is a reflection of our commitment to Christ's love and justice. How we spend our time and money, and whether our family life includes an ethic of charity, service and action for justice matters. The lessons we teach our children through what we do as well as what we say determines whether they care for the least among us. What comes around, goes around.
The pictures today have nothing to do at all with the topic for today. They show the mounds, or maybe I should say mountains of snow we saw in a parking lot this past Sunday. It’ll be interesting to see just how long it will take for them to melt. As of now there will not be many days above freezing in the days to come.
I hope you all have a fantastic Friday !
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
William James
COUNTING MY GIFTS
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Winston Churchill
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. Sometimes it seems as if I’m repeating a lot of things that I’m thankful for, but no moment is really ever the same and every day is a new beginning. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
2510. for our country, which pledges justice for all
2511. for sunshine on a cold, cold day
2512. for some very ripe bananas, another loaf of banana bread in the making
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 !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
It is reasonable that every one who asks justice should do justice.
Thomas Jefferson
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…

We used to see snow mounds like that when we lived in Montana and would wonder too how long they would take to melt. Funny that across the street from a local ice cream shop that only was opened April to October was such a mound one year. The ice cream shop was opened and the mound of snow was still there; funny contrast :)
I too am glad we live in a country where we do have justice for all. I can't imagine living some place where that is not the case.

Your posts are so inspiring!
Love your quotes and thoughts Pam! I think we Westerners often take for granted all that we are priveledge to. I hope and pray we never lose our freedoms! The snow you are all getting is unbelievable! xxoo
I agree with you...you reap what you sow. Great post!
It's still snowing here, too!
Enjoy your weekend, dear.
