THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A part of you has grown in me. And so you see, it's you and me together forever and never apart, maybe in distance, but never in heart.

This is another long distance birthday and as usual the card went out in the mail. #1 is my very first grandchild and what a blessing she is. I so remember holding her shortly after she was born. The joy of a first grandchild is something you never forget.
This day would have also been my Mom’s birthday, may she rest in peace. I can’t help thinking about one of them without thinking of the other.
My calendar for today says that it is a day to be unpredictable. It’s Walk On Your Wild Side Day which is a chance to do something no one would ever expect you to. Today is a day to embrace your inner wild streak. A day to be unpredictable like wearing nothing but neon pink, dying your hair green for a day, or showing everybody who ever said you couldn’t that you could.
It’s been a little wild around here with our unpredictable weather. After snow, ice, and bitter cold it’s warming up. Today we’re to be in the 40’s but will have some sunshine.
April in Ohio is always a surprise. It’s often rainy, but more than not it’ll be May showers that bring those June flowers our way. There have even been a few occasions that we have snow the beginning May. I certainly hope not.
I’ve learned to never say never. Anything is possible.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
One of the greatest gifts
That life can give to anyone
Is the very special love that families share...
As years go by,
It's good to know that there will always be
Certain people in our lives who care.
For there are countless things
That only families have in common
And memories that no one else can make...
And these precious ties that bind a family together
Are bonds that time and distance cannot break.
How fortunate we are
When we have relatives to love us,
It makes the world a happy place to be...
Few gifts in life
Will last as long
Or touch the heart as deeply
As the very special gift
Of family.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3763. for #1, it’s her birthday today!
3764. for rain, we need it to make everything grow
3765. for cozy warm home, lots to do inside yet before the weather gets nice out
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 !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle, rather a beautiful reminder of just how strong true love can be.

Happy birthday to #1 :) I hope she has a great day! That is nice that she shares a birthday with your mother.
It is a joy to be a grandmother, having recently discovered that myself :)
I like being a little adventurous so might have to do something on the wild side today!
betty
good post
I'm the only one left of my nuclear family, and it's a mighty lonely feeling.
