No man is so poor as to have nothing worth giving.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Remember that your best is always good enough.
If you think about it and believe it you must also act on it! This is not a theory. When you live and share your faith you you become a shining light and a help to others.
TODAY’S QUOTE
What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
Robert Schuller
HAPPY TUESDAY !
Monday was a beautiful sunny day – in the upper 70’s and low humidity. Today promises to be about the same only maybe just a little warmer. For at least 2 days this week I didn’t have to use the a/c. That is a blessing.
DS #5 will be at the county fair all week We’ll hope the weather stays good for him and he does well.
I’m trying to get out and walk as often as possible because our nice days won’t last forever.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
Please pray for God's protection of our troops and HIS wisdom for their commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in thename of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
GOD BLESS YOU !
TODAY IS…EAT A PEACH DAY
Fresh peaches are full of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, riboflavin, and beta carotene. They are also low in calories, fat-free, sodium-free, and cholesterol-free. And what's summer without eating fresh peaches (with the juice running down your chin). Everyone has a favorite fruit, but this one is very popular.
FRESH PEACH CAKE RECIPE
1 (2-layer) yellow cake mix
3/4 cup melted butter
1 pound peaches, peeled and sliced
2 cups sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
cinnamon
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2. Combine the dry cake mix and melted butter in a bowl. Mix well. Spread in the bottom of a lightly greased 9 x 12-inch cake pan. 3. Layer the peaches over top. Blend the sour cream, sugar, and egg yolks in a bowl. Spoon over the peaches. Sprinkle with cinnamon. 4. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until set.

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Be very careful, then, how you live -- not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is
Ephesians 5:15-17
The days they pass so quickly now;
Nights are seldom long.
Time around me whispers when it's cold.
Changes somehow frighten me;
Still I have to smile.
It turns me on to think of growing old.
from a John Denver song "Poems, Prayers, and Promises”
The days have passed quickly! When I think of the time I've had with my family the days have passed quickly, and they've been good days.
The days they pass so quickly now. So be it.
That is life.
Enjoy it.
Live it to God's glory!
Although these words can echo my sentiments they were taken from an article in Daily Heartlight
