TODAY'S QUOTE
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart
Victor Hugo
HAPPY WEDNESDAY !
Yesterday evening it looked like we had about another inch or so of the white fluffy stuff on the ground. I had cleaned off the steps and walkways before I left for work, but they were all covered again.
Today, we’ll have some more they say ! This evening I’m going to my prayer group. They just started up again after breaking for the holidays. I wasn’t going to go out any more cold winter evenings, but the topics they have planned for discussion and prayer looked interesting. So I’ll go. I think we’re never to old to learn more and if I don’t use it, my brain gets rusty.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way.
TODAY IS...MOOO COW DAY!
The bones of cattle from 6,500 B.C. have been found in Turkey. Some authorities date their domestication even earlier, but it is generally accepted that this happened after sheep, goats, pigs and dogs were already being raised on farms. Early cattle provided meat, milk and labor to their owners. Eventually they were replaced with horses for the heavy work in the fields, so they turned into happy grazers

TODAY'S SMILE
A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication for her daughter.
When returning to her car she found that she had locked her keys in the car. She was in a hurry to get home to her sick daughter, she didn't know what to do, so she called her home and told the babysitter what had happened and that she did not know what to do.
The baby sitter told her that her daughter was getting worse. She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door". The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been thrown down on the ground possibly by someone else who at some time or other had locked their keys in their car.
Then she looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this." So she bowed her head and asked God to send her some help. Within five minutes an old rusty car pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head.
The woman thought, "Great God. This is what you sent to help me????" But, she was desperate, so she was also very thankful. The man got out of his car and asked her if he could help. She said "Yes, my daughter is very sick......I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car, I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car."
He said, "SURE". He walked over to the car, and in less than one minute the car was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "THANK YOU SO MUCH..... You are a very nice man."
The man replied, "Lady, I am not a nice man, see, I just got out of prison today. I was in prison for car theft and have only been out for about an hour." The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud...THANK YOU, GOD, FOR SENDING ME A PROFESSIONAL!

TODAY'S REFLECTION
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.
Proverbs 3:27
Never be
Too busy to stop and recognize
The grief that lies in another’s eyes,
Too busy to offer to help or share, T
oo busy to sympathize or care
Helen Steiner Rice
