Life is a Special Occasion!

The 3rd Saturday of May is Armed Forces Day. This is simply a day to salute all of the men and women in all branches of the service who protect our country and you.
They can be called upon at a moment's notice to perform a risky and perilous mission for freedom and country. They train diligently both physically and mentally so they will be prepared to prevail in any mission they face.
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
Elmer Davis
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Lord, bid war's trumpet cease;
Fold the whole earth in peace.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
It seems ironic that on my trivia for today I read that it is also Wear Purple for Peace Day. As much as I admire and appreciate our Armed Forces it would be wonderful if our world could live in peace.
Peace does begin with each of us in our own homes, with our family and all those we come into contact with. If each of us could do our part to promote peace, then the work of our Armed Forces would be much easier.
Many of us don’t realize just how much is done to keep peace and the efforts that are made to make peace. It is not an easy thing at all but one that is totally worthwhile.
Maybe we could all say a little prayer for peace in our world today.
I hope you all have a super Saturday !
Peace be with you !
My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!
Thomas Jefferson
COUNTING MY GIFTS
When our perils are past, shall our gratitude sleep?
George Canning
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2766. for our Armed Forces and all they do to keep peace in our world
2767. for a peaceful day here at my house
2768. for a great cup of caramel flavored cappuccino this morning
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 !
ADVICE FOR TODAY

Such pretty green grass and sky! So true that peace begins with us and at home. A little peace can go a long way too. Definitely always prayers for peace.

While the idea of world peace almost seems insurmountable ...I think each of us should do what we can, beginning in our own homes, schools and offices.
Praying for peace!!! What a wonderful thought!! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!!
