TODAY'S THOUGHT

Pablo Picasso  

TODAY'S ACTION  

Stop worrying about things you can’t control.  

 TODAY'S RESOLUTION  

I will to grow closer in my relationship with God and talk to Him.  Share my desires
and needs and entrust them to Him.
I will keep my eyes open and notice how He moves in my  life to answer my prayers
to His glory and for my best interests   

  TODAY'S QUOTE  

 Have you had a kindness shown?
Pass it on;
'twas not given for thee alone,
Pass it on;
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears,
Till in Heaven the deed appears,
Pass it on.
  Henry Burton
 
HAPPY SUNDAY ! 

  Early church for me today as my 'Sunshine Babes' have an after wedding brunch to go to and then they'll be going over to DS#5's house to help out there for awhile.  I'm fixing dinner for them and watching the 'babes' this afternoon.  

 Have a great day !  Another wonderful one on the Way !  

 TODAY IS...SEA SERPENT DAY!  

The legend of the Loch Ness monster dates back to 565 AD, but are there really sea serpents? The area of water on our planet is vast and mostly unexplored, so who knows? Zoologists find new species of animals every year - and there are animals they thought were extinct for millions of years that turn up again. It's possible that the water creatures called sea serpents are just waiting their turn to be found and named

our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.  

 Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands. Protect them as they
protect us. Bless them and their families

in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior   

   TODAY'S SMILE  

Two silver-haired women entered a restaurant for lunch.

Each caught the other's look of joyful recognition--having been college mates 50 years earlier. They spent the afternoon laughing and reminiscing.

Then one looked at the other in obvious embarrassment. "I hate to say this," she confessed, "but what is your name?"

The other one thought a moment, then asked ruefully   How soon do you need to know

TODAY'S REFLECTION  

 When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.   Psalm 126: 1-2  

 Home is where life makes up its mind. It is there — with fellow family members — we hammer out our convictions on the anvil of relationships. It is there we cultivate the valuable things in life, like attitudes, memories, beliefs, and most of all, character   Reverend Charles R. Swindoll    

TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC
