HAPPY MONDAY!

Back to Work !!!

It was a quiet Sunday . After church, I just worked at putting things away and rebooting the washer and the dryer. The weather turned a little cooler and partly cloudy. The week ahead looks like a quiet one. No evening activities except for the usual around the house things. It’s hard to believe that it’s the last week of April.

Two of my children are moving. DS#3 and DS#4. One is out of state but a little closer than before . The other is still in Ohio, but a little north of where they were. I know they are excited about their new homes. Neither one is close by, so I feel like an absentee grand’ma’ right now.

DD and her hubby were camping the past two weekends! They were lucky and had nice weather. She and DS#1 have decided to put their campers at a permanent camp site this year, so I’ll be visiting them a lot during camping season.

That’s the news from home as I know it.

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

TODAY IS...CIRCUS CIRCUS DAY

Circuses are the most enduring form of entertainment in the world. In the Roman days, they featured wild animal duels and chariot races. During the middle ages, a circus meant traveling troups that stopped in the marketplace with trained animals and acrobats. The kind of circus we know today began as a way to show fancy riding. Clowns were added to fill the time between riders, and the modern circus was on it's way

TODAY'S REFLECTION

In reply Jesus declared, I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.

John 3:3

Jesus was telling Nicodemus, a Pharisee, how important it is to be born of the Spirit. Then one is dedicated to God, body and soul, and totally in tune with God's plans for him or her. When you are "born again" (in the Spirit), you are in such close touch with the Lord that the world's temptations cannot keep you from walking in the Light.
