HAPPY THANKFULLY THURSDAY !
Today I am really thankful that my furnace works and that my car heater works and that I have a good warm coat and gloves. We took a big dip in temps and it’s been very windy. And yes, I did see snow flakes for the first time on Wedneday!
I also got my flu shot on Wednesday. My darling 83 year old mum had called to remind me of the last flu shot clinic in our area, so at lunch time I went and got my shot.
Keep warm all and be safe !
Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way!

Max: God, I want to do great things.
God: You do?
Max: You bet! I want to teach millions! I want to fill the Rose Bowl! I want all of the world to know your saving power! I dream of the day....
God: That's great. Max. In fact, I can use you today after church.
Max: Super! How about some radio and TV work or. . .or. . .or an engagement to speak to Congress?
God: Well, that's not exactly what I had in mind. See that fellow sitting next to you?
Max: Yes.
God: He needs a ride home.
Max (quietly): What?
God: He needs a ride home. And while you're at it, one of the older ladies sitting near you is worried about getting a refrigerator moved. Why don't you drop by this afternoon and....

God (smiling): Think about it

TODAY'S REFLECTION
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom
Psalm 90:12
The sunset years may become clouded with bitterness or despair for some. To minimize this, we must make it our goal early in life to get the right focus. It is our focus more than our feelings that determines the sort of people we are.
If our focus today, regardless of our feelings, is one of gratitude for Jesus and His gift of eternal life, we’ll grow sweeter as we grow older.
