HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!
We did not have anymore snow yesterday nor are we supposed to today, but Thursday will be a different story they say . Shovelable snow coming our way. The long range forrcast for Saturday still looks good. Cold but not snowy. I’m still praying for nice weather so that all the babes can come home safely.
I’m finished with the gift wrapping, now I only have to finish up the cleaning and get the rest of the groceries and then all will be ready until I start cooking on Saturday morning.
Dinner isn’t until around 5 so I really don’t need to start anything very early. I finally feel like Christmas might just come to my house this year…for a while there I thought the ‘Grinch’ might put a hamper on things.
Take good care all !
Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY'S REFLECTION
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal
I Corinthians 13:1
Paul is telling us that if we lack sincere love for God and for our neighbor, our words are as discordant as clanging cymbals. In other words, if we don't walk our talk, then our talk is worth zero Even though we are generous with money, goods and talent, if we do it grudgingly, it does no good.
