HAPPY MONDAY

And Happy Birthday to DDIL#2

May the dear Lord bless you today and always !

It was a quiet weekend and the week ahead looks like a quiet one except for Tuesday evening and that is Trick or Treat night in our town.

The sun was shinning most of the day yesterday and I think it’s supposed to remain with us at least one more day.

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.

TODAY IS…FRANKENSTEIN DAY

In the summer of 1816, Mary Shelly was 19 years old and visiting a villa in Switzerland. Stormy weather forced the guests to stay indoors, so they spent the time reading ghost stories. One night, Mary was challenged to write her own ghost story - and this became Frankenstein. The classic monster movie based on her book was made in 1931. It scared the living daylights out of all movie-goers and was the most famous role Boris Karloff every played.

TODAY’S SMILE

A JOKE THAT THOSE ON A DIET CAN APPRECIATE

 My husband had lost 50 pounds and after eight years of being a housewife, I had taken a job in a restaurant. When I returned home after my first day at work, I gave my husband a big hug.

He seemed to cling to me longer than usual. "Did you really miss me that much today, dear?" I asked.

"No," came the reply. "But you smell so much like pancakes that I hate to let you go."

TODAY’S WORD

Ad-um-brate

1. To give a sketchy outline of.

2. To prefigure indistinctly, foreshadow.

To disclose partially or guardedly.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

Psalm 1:3

Psalm 1 contrasts the life of the righteous with the life of the wicked. Verse 3 is a simile of the blessedness of the righteous. This type of tree will withstand the buffeting of the wind, and the scorching of the sun. It will bless man and animals with its fruit, shade and shelter. The fruit of the tree is unfailing.

 To continue nourishment for the righteous tree we must remain with God. We need to continue in prayer and worship of Him. We must read His Word. We must associate with God's people. We cannot afford to separate ourselves from the nourishment of God.

Two roads diverged in a wood,

and I – I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference .

 Robert Frost

TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC

Toss used lemons into your garbage disposal to help keep it clean and fresh-smelling.

52 DAYS UNTIL WINTER

 Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart

 Psalm 37:4

I Love You All !!!

Be Blessed !!!
