HAPPY ‘SUDDENLY SUNDAY’
Sipping my good coffee this morning and catching up on my e-mail and favorites that I like to read each day.
I’ll be off to church in a little while and then plan on visiting with my folks for awhile before coming home.
Yesterday’s fun pictures are posted on my journal page if you’d like to see them. It’ll will be nice to look back at these when those cold winter winds start to blow.
Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY'S SMILE
Johnny was at his first day of school. The teacher advised the class to start the day with the pledge of allegiance, and instructed them to put their right hands over their hearts and repeat after him. He looked around the room as he started the recitation, "I pledge allegiance to the flag..." When his eyes fell on Johnny, he noticed Johnny's hand over the right cheek of his buttocks. "Johnny, I will not continue 'til you put your hand over your heart." Johnny replied, "It is over my heart." After several attempts to get Johnny to put his hand over his heart, the teacher asked, "Why do you think that is your heart?" "Because every time my Grandma comes to visit, she picks me up, pats me here, and says, 'Bless your little heart,' and my Grandma wouldn't lie

TODAY'S REFLECTION
I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive
Acts 20:35
This principle never fails.
If you seek to be understood,
try to understand others.
If you seek to be comforted,
give comfort to others.
If you seek greater faith,
help to plant it in others
Sue Monk Kidd
TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC
Sprinkle a teaspoon of baking soda on the bottom of your toaster oven to eliminate the burned smell from drippings and crumbs
66 DAYS UNTIL WINTER
Delight yourself in the Lord and
He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
I Love You All !!!
