TODAY'S QUOTE
To be good instruments of God's love we must avoid being over tired, burnt out, stressed, aggressive, dispersed or closed up. We need to be rested, centered, peaceful and aware of the needs of our body, our heart and our spirit.
Jean Vanier
HAPPY TUESDAY!
We had a sunny but cold day yesterday and today it's supposed to get very windy and rain. Most every day this week will be in the mid 30's or 40's going down as low as 29 degrees at night.
I've got my laundry and stuff to do afterwork this week as it didn't get done on the weekend and I'll be going away next Saturday too.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY IS...SQUARE DANCING DAY
The early roots of square dancing were brought to the US by English and French settlers. America's only unique contribution was a caller to keep everyone in step.

TODAY'S SMILE
The worried housewife sprang to the telephone when it rang and listened with relief to the kindly voice in her ear. "How are you, darling?" she said. "What kind of a day are you having?"
"Oh, mother," said the housewife, breaking into bitter tears, "I've had such a bad day. The baby won't eat and the washing machine broke down. I haven't had a chance to go shopping, and besides, I've just sprained my ankle and I have to hobble around. On top of that, the house is a mess and I'm supposed to have two couples to dinner tonight."
The mother was shocked and was at once all sympathy. "Oh, darling," she said, "sit down, relax, and close your eyes. I'll be over in half an hour. I'll do your shopping, clean up the house, and cook your dinner for you. I'll feed the baby and I'll call a repairman I know who'll be at your house to fix the washing machine promptly.
Now stop crying. I'll do everything. In fact, I'll even call George at the office and tell him he ought to come home and help out for once." "George?" said the housewife.
"Who's George?"
"Why, George! Your husband!....Is this 223-1374?
"No, this is 223-1375."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I have the wrong number."
There was a short pause and the housewife said,
Does this mean you're not coming over

TODAY'S REFLECTION
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well
Psalm 139:14
Isn't it sad that we marvel at God's wonderful works and yet we fail to trust him when life becomes complicated? When our attitude is one of faith and expectancy -- hoping for good things, as we work and pray -- we open the channel for God to shower his blessings
God truly loves you
Come what may . . .
He will lead you and protect you
Every step along life’s way
