THOUGHT FOR TODAY
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade !
Making lemonade here at my house is easy. I simply take the juice of 2 large lemons, mix with 1 cup of sugar and fill my 2 quart container up with filtered water. Stirring it all well until the sugar is dissolved. It doesn’t take much time at all and everyone seems to love it, it including me.
It is a refreshing drink when it’s hot out and lemons are just bursting with health. Lemons provide Vitamin C and potassium that are essential to a good diet.
Whenever life gives you something sour, when things don't go your way, you can either cry or turn the sour lemons into lemonade, something sweet. Every day may not be a good one, but there is something good to be found in every day. So make lemonade and you’ll find your situation is not so sour after all. In fact, it may get a whole lot sweeter right away.
The pictures are of one of my grandson’s helping grand’ma’ make lemonade !
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Life handed him a lemon,
As Life sometimes will do.
His friends looked on in pity,
Assuming he was through.
They came upon him later,
Reclining in the shade
In calm contentment, drinking
A glass of lemonade
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3052. for lemonade refreshing and delicious
3053. for sugar, makes the medicine go down
3054. for my refrigerator, keeps things nice and cold
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.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
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 !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Our happiness is certainly mixed in with the tragedies of life. You have to find the lemonade. You have to find the silver lining in the middle of everything that happens in life.

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
