TODAY'S THOUGHT

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.

These are but trifles, to be sure;

but, scattered along life's pathway,

the good they do is inconceivable.

 Joseph Addison

TODAY'S QUOTE

You're smart when you only believe half of what you hear, Wise is when you know which half to believe

HAPPY THURSDAY!

This has been a very quiet week both at home and at work. It’s a good thing that Saturday we’ll be going down to Son # 1’s for the Stroll for Epilepsy and more birthday celebrations. Not all my family will be there, due to either being out of state or having other obligations, but it will be a nice get together for those of us that can be there.

We were very fortunate and didn’t get the snow storm that was promised yesterday, but it was very windy and cold. BRRRCHILL!

The folks that sell us gas both for the car and for heating ought to be happy anyway !

I’m layering up and keeping warm !

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

Another Computer virus warning !

This one is set to attack Feb. 3rd and every 3rd of the month after that.

And make sure your Virus software is updated.

TODAY'S REFLECTION

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

 I Corinthians 13:11

Children often act impulsively, without thinking, and consequently get into trouble. We are acting in a childish way, when we do the same thing How can we keep from acting impulsively?

Avoid anxiety. Do not be anxious about anything...

Take time to pray... but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" (Phil 4:6).

Consider all options. Look at both short-term and long-term results of your decision.

Trust God for guidance. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed(Proverbs 16:3).
