THOUGHT FOR TODAY
What will you do with your one wild and precious life?
Mary Oliver
Today is the birthday of my very first grandchild. That’s why I call her #1. I was thrilled to be there just a few minutes after she was born. What a happy day it was. This is another of my long distance birthdays. I haven’t seen her in quite a long while now. But as usual the card went out in the mail. My Mom’s birthday is also today. God bless her soul. She’s been gone now several years, but will never be forgotten.
Today is also a day to be unpredictable! It’s Walk On Your Wild Side Day. It is a chance to do something no one would ever expect you to. Today is a day to embrace your inner wild streak. It's for showing everybody who ever said you couldn’t that you could.
With out a doubt the wildest thing I ever did and the greatest too, was to have a large family. What a blessing they all are to me. There were days in my life that I thought I’d never have any children. Surprisingly I was blessed with 7 great children. They are all grown and married now and come summer time I’ll have a total of 22 grandchildren. It’s been a crazy and wonderful life for me living on the wild side.
We finally have some daffodils blooming here and others that are almost ready to pop out. That is what the pictures are of today. I’ll be off to church a little later on this morning and will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope you have a restful and relaxing Sunday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The more wild and incredible your desire, the more willing and prompt God is in fulfilling it, if you will have it so.
Coventry Patmore
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2664. for #1, it’s her birthday today
2665. for daffodils blooming, spring is here
2666. for my mom, she’ll always be remembered
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
Nobody succeeds beyond his or her wildest expectations unless he or she begins with some wild expectations.

Happy birthday to your sweet #1!
I love your particular interpretation of being 'wild.' Certainly, that's something I couldn't do. Yours is a precious gift.
PS - Personally, I suspect the earth would tilt on its axis if I went 'wild.' For so long, I've been so dull - and predictable. And I'm OK with that! :)
A Happy Birthday to your #1 granddaughter. Today is my daughter and great granddaughter's birthday also. Take care. Jean
Happy Birthday to your oldest grandchild Pam! 22 grandchildren, how very blessed you are! Hope your week is as special as you are! Thanks for all that you share! xoxo
