TODAY'S THOUGHT
You can’t light a candle to show others the way
without feeling the warmth of its small little flame.
And you can’t pluck a rose all fragrant with dew,
without part of its fragrance remaining with you.
Helen Steiner Rice
TODAY'S ACTION
Make the ordinary and little things we do each day. moments that are ‘golden’, when they can touch other people and make a difference.
I shall, with God’s help, share Christ’s love
with the children in my life so God’s love
will always cover them.
More powerful than the will to win is the courage to begin. Anonymous
OVER THE HUMP DAY !
It was cloudy all day yesterday, and today is supposed to be more of the same with a chance of showers. We're getting the house painted, and they got the power wash done and now have to wait for some SUN to paint. I'll try to take some pictures so you all can see the progress ! We do need the rain badly. Tomorrow evening my 'Summer' Bible Study group is supposed to meet for a picnic dinner at the park and review of our study, but we'll see...more rain predicted. We'll just have to make our own sunshine !
Take good care all !
Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY IS...BISON LOVERS DAY
The bison (buffalo) is the largest land mammal in North America. Before settlers moved across the continent, their herd size was about 30 million animals that provided meat, clothes, shoes, houses, and tools for Native Americans. Unregulated killing reduced their number to about 1,500 by the late 1800s. Legal protection and refuge preserves have helped restore the population to over 350,000 animals today

TODAY'S SMILE
A grandfather overheard his granddaughter repeating the alphabet in reverent, hushed tones.
‘What are you doing?' he asked.
‘I'm praying Granddad' she said. ‘I can't think of the right words, so I just say all the letters.
God will put them together for me, cause God knows what I'm thinking
MORE...
Needing to shed a few pounds, my wife and I went on a diet that had specific recipes for each meal of the day. We followed the instructions closely, dividing the finished recipe in half for our individual plates. We felt terrific and thought the diet was wonderful - - we never even felt hungry!
But, then we realized we were gaining weight, not losing it, so I checked the recipes again. There, in fine print, was: Serves 6.
