Here is what I found on the internet : Long Range weather forecast for this week!
Thursday (24 hours): Windy with periods of rain. Highs in the low 60s and lows in the low 30s. Friday (24 hours): Windy with rain and snow showers. Highs in the upper 40s and lows in the upper 30s.
Guess I’d better enjoy the day, It’ll be going down hill from the looks of things!
Take good care all !
Have a great day ! 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 !

TODAY’S SMILE
It is bad to suppress laughter; it goes back down and spreads to your hips.
12 WAYS TO BE HAPPY
1. Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
2. Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.
3. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people.
4. You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.
5. Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.
6. Do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt.
7. Never borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones.
8. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy, Avoid people who make you unhappy.
9. Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.
10. Don't hold postmortems. Don't spend your time brooding over sorrows or mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things.
11. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.
12. Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.
Calendar: a device for scheduling the unpredictable.

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Work hard so God can say to you, "Well done." Be a good workman, one who does not need to be ashamed when God examines your work......
2 Timothy 2:15
Many people know how Helen Keller overcame the difficult challenge of being rendered deaf, dumb, and blind after a fever as an infant, and how she eventually learned to communicate, learning Braille. Her life inspired millions, one of her admirers being Mark Twain. She was invited to visit every U.S. President at the White House from her childhood on.
What many people don't know, however, is how hard Helen worked as an adult. After graduating with honors from Radcliffe College, she worked to help others until her death at the age of eighty-eight.
She wrote numerous articles. She gave lectures for the American Foundation for the Blind, and she helped raise a find of some two million dollars for this foundation.
On her eightieth birthday, she was honored by the organization's announcing the Helen Keller International Award for those who gave outstanding help to the blind.
Not only are each of us called to overcome our own faults, weaknesses, and limitations, but we are asked to exercise our strengths. "Just surviving" isn't what we are challenged to do.
We are destined to use our talents for God's purposes, putting all our minds, hearts, and energy to the work He sets before us.
