HAPPY FRIDAY!

Finally, the week has once again come to an end. It’s been a very busy one at work. I guess that made the time go by faster. I have Monday off for a vacation day, but I really don’t have any special plans, maybe a little fall cleaning, or maybe a craft project??? Or maybe I’ll just be lazy and enjoy a day off ! Anyway it’s nice to think about a 3-day weekend.

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 the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior

GOD BLESS YOU !

The father answered immediately, "I don't know. Nobody has lived that long yet."

TODAY’S WORD

TODAY’S REFLECTION

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers – the moon and the stars that you have set in place – what are mortals that you should think of us, and mere humans that you should care for us?

Psalm 8:3-4

Worshiping God involves counting on him as your friend. The Old Testament portrays God as a friend to Moses, Abraham, and David, often sparring with them in debate over his rule of the nation of Israel

To worship God is to carry on a conversation with him – to talk with him, share our hopes and dreams and fears with him, and even our displeasure or impatience with the way things are going. He wants our honesty.

God is still God and though he is our friend, we worship him as God and marvel that he would befriend us. And yet he does!

And that is the greatest wonder of all
