HAPPY 'THANKFULLY' THURSDAY

It was a beautiful day on Wednesday. Our weather has been just about perfect. Thankfully, there is only one more day after today of work this week and our weekend is supposed to be a beautiful one too. I can't seem to get much time outdoors. Just mow the yard and back inside I go.

DD and hubby leave on their vacation this Friday, please keep them in your prayers for a safe trip. The following weekend, the 16th the 'Sunshine babes' return to Ohio for their 3rd wedding this summer. 'Little Ray's ' birthday is the 17th and they are having a party here at our local park on Sunday the 18th. I think they'll be glad when all their friends and family up here are married !

On the 21st our 'Sweetheart' will be coming up our way for more tests and a 2nd opinion from the doctors at the Cleveland Clinic. Please pray that they find some way to help control her seizures. She will be celebrating her 3rd birthday in October and has had these since she was about 6 months old.

Take good care all - may God keep you safe in your travels

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

TODAY IS....LEFT RIGHT DAY !

There are two spots on Earth where there is only one direction to go. Do you know where? At the North Pole you can only go South, no matter which way you turn. And at the South Pole you can only go North. But put me in a car at either spot and I would still find a way to make a wrong turn

TODAY'S REFLECTION

Don't criticize and then you won't be criticized. For others will treat you as you treat them. And why worry about a speck in the eye of a brother when you have a board in your own?

Matthew 7:1 - 3

It isn't necessary to blow out the other person's light to let your own shine
