THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
George M. Cohan
For me a 4th of July celebration wouldn’t be the same without an American Flag. I fly it with pride. I’m very proud to be an American. The day lilies, the cone flowers, the daisies and the sweet peas are all blooming away outside making for a very festive occasion here at my house.
We’re blessed with some beautiful weather for this holiday. After days of gloominess and rain the sun has been shinning. What a blessing for sure.
It’s a quiet weekend at my house and other than some work outside, I’ve spent some wonderful hours just relaxing. Can’t get much better than that !
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday ! Happy 4th of July !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
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 at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2913. for our Country and all that brave men and women that work to keep us free.
2914. for a flag to fly, I’m proud to be an American
2915. for the beautiful flowers blooming
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

Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military

with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !

The kids all left today. We celebrated yesterday, so they could get a head start on the traffic back down-state. The fireworks were amazing last night!! Tomorrow everyone will be traveling, and it will be awful!! The weather here has been beautiful!!

Happy 4th to you dear friend.

Love that little tableau, Ma ... especially the doily/dresser scarf on which they reside. Did you make those stars?
Looking forward to watching a "Capitol Fourth" on PBS later this eve from the comfort of our own living room (and air conditioning!).
