TODAY'S THOUGHT

God wants to give you great things, but even He cannot give you any greater blessing than you can believe in

TODAY'S ACTION

Go to church and let your subconscious work on your problems as you attune to the mood of worship. Creative spiritual thinking has amazing power to give "right" answers

TODAY'S QUOTE

All who would win joy must share it, happiness was born a twin

HAPPY ‘SUDDENLY’ SUNDAY !

As usual I’m off to church this morning and home again to get ready for the new week. Refreshed, renewed and rested … and I have found some wonderful helpers to get me started on the right track to enjoying work too . So far I’ve gotten the gifts of creativity, time, kindness and hope . This week I’ll be keeping my eyes and ears open to see if there are any more tips out there.

 I’ll be praying for all those in peril from Hurricane Wilma today and for all our guys and gals in the military helping to defend our country. Of course all of you are always in my prayers too.

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

Day by day, dear Lord,

of thee three things I pray:

to see thee more clearly,

 love thee more dearly,

follow thee more nearly,

day by day.

Richard of Chichester

 TODAY'S REFLECTION

You who love the Lord, hate evil

Psalm 97:10

Be careful with hatred. . . . Hatred is a passion requiring one hundred times the energy of love. Keep it for a cause, not an individual. Keep it for intolerance, injustice, stupidity. For hatred is the strength of the sensitive. Its power and its greatness depend on the selflessness of its use,

Olive Moore, the 19th-century English writer
