THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Life is something like a remarkable, exciting puzzle. It comes piece by piece in packages marked days.
John Pow
This birthday celebration is the last of our family birthdays for January and like most, it’s another long distance one. Birthday wishes were sent out in the mail for a very Happy Day! The pictures I have of him are mostly with his brother and sisters so that is what I’ve posted today. He’s the oldest of 6 children and becoming a wonderful young man and a great big brother too.
Today is also National Puzzle Day which honors puzzles of all size, shape and form. Crossword puzzles are by far the most common. Sudoku, a number puzzle, is the most recent puzzle rage. There's easy puzzles, and there's puzzles for experts. They fit the needs of every person, and every skill level.
Speaking of puzzles, they are still waiting for test results to determine a way forward for treatment for DS#1. All results from what they have so far are showing no probable cause, but there should be a way for them to help him. It’s a puzzle, and hopefully soon they’ll figure it all out. With the good Lord’s help, we are praying he’ll be on his way to a complete recovery soon.
Cold and maybe some snow today. We’re back to more typical January weather now.
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
Today is National Corn Chip Day which celebrates the Corn Chip. Fifty years ago, few Americans knew what Corn Chips were. Today, most American can not imagine life without this tasty, crunchy holder of salsa and cheese.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4612. for our Star, it’s his birthday today
4613. for puzzles, fun at times, perplexing at others
4614. for corn chips, a tasty crunchy snack
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.

ADVICE FOR TODAY
You are a piece of the puzzle of someone else's life. You may never know where you fit, but others will fill the holes in their lives with pieces of you.

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

Your family pictures are always so sweet. I know you are very proud of each one. Just hope all the puzzle pieces come together for good.
Such a beautiful family! I hope your "Star" is enjoying a terrific birthday.
Corn Chip Day? Yay. :) Fritos used to be a staple in my mother's home. I wonder if you've ever enjoyed a Frito pie? I've not had one in years and years, but this recipe reminds me a bit of that gooey goodness!
I used to be a crossword puzzle addict; not sure just when/how I fell off the wagon. I'm going to add an extra prayer for DS#1's caregivers, that this puzzle is resolved in good time ... that your hearts are put to rest.
I like that recipe; going to make it soon! Happy birthday to your Star! Fine looking young man! I'm hopeful the doctors will be able to find the right treatment for son#1. Hard to wait to figure out what is wrong, always good to get a cure that will work.
