HAPPY 'THANKFULLY' THURSDAY 

  I'm so thankful for the time I'm able to spend with my children and grandchildren.  Any special occasion that brings us together again is worth celebrating.  Hopefully I'll be seeing all of them soon with the wedding coming up next week!   Take good care all !   Have a great day !  Another wonderful one on the Way !    

TODAY IS...TWINS FESTIVAL DAY

   The term "twins" comes from an ancient German word meaning "two together." About 3% of all births are twins - and there are about 125 million twins in the world today. Every August since 1976, twins have traveled to a small town south of Cleveland for a weekend of socializing.

  TODAY'S WORD

 execrate • \EK-suh-krayt verb
1 : to declare to be evil or detestable : denounce
2 : to detest utterly   TODAY'S REFLECTION  

He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces.   Isaiah 25:8  

 Death is a part of LIFE and many will have to face the loss of a loved one. Although friends and family may try to comfort, this is a time when you may feel lonely and helpless. It is then that, like the psalmist, you turn to the arms of our loving Lord.   There is a time to mourn and this is part of the healing of your heart. Surely you miss a loved one, but we have the assurance that we shall be reunited and that will be the time for laughter and rejoicing
