HAPPY THURSDAY!

After having a freezing cold and snowy day yesterday, they say it’s supposed to warm back up in the 40’s here today. Up and down roller coaster weather we are having.

My car is once again covered in salt and grime from the roads – you’d never know I had it washed last week. After work this evening, I’m going to do some baking for Saturday – that will warm things up around here !

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

TODAY'S SMILE

A large family, with seven children, moved to a new city. They were having a difficult time finding an apartment to live in. Many apartments were large enough, but the landlords objected to the large family. After several days of searching, the father asked the mother to take the four younger children to visit the cemetery, while he took the older three to find an apartment. After they had looked most of the morning they found a place that was just right. Then the landlord asked the usual question: "How many children do you have?" The father answered with a deep sigh, "Seven...but four are with their dear mother in the cemetery."

The landlord, feeling sympathetic towards the man's situation, rented the apartment to him.

TODAY'S REFLECTION

Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all

Mark 10:43-44

 James and John came to Jesus with the hope of making themselves more important than the other disciples, Jesus gave them the answer that is today's scripture. Jesus taught that in order to be highest, one must be willing to be the lowest.
