HAPPY FINALLY F R I DAY
I’m anxious for this day to be over so I can get back home and continue trying to get the house ready for DS#4 and his family. They will be here sometime tomorrow afternoon. He’s a great Ohio State Football fan and wants to be here before the game begins.
I’ve still got some groceries to pick up and the beds to make along with the usual cleaning and dusting. I want to be able to sit and relax and enjoy my company .
It’s going to be a great 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.

TODAY’S SMILE
A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog.
The children fell to discussing the dog's duties. "They use him to keep crowds back," said one youngster. "No," said another, "he's just for good luck."
A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrant."
TODAY’S WORD
stentorian (adjective)
[sten-TOR-ee-ahn]
1. (of a voice) loud, powerful, or booming; 'a stentorian voice': "The substitute teacher's stentorian hello made the whole class jump."
TODAY’S REFLECTION
Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.
Deuteronomy 30: 19-20
We all want to live the best life we can, but sometimes we choose the wrong way to attain it. Today's scripture gives us three steps to attain life:
Love the Lord God. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind" (Luke 10:27)
Listen to his voice. "His sheep follow him because they know his voice" (John 10:4).
Hold fast to him. "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full (John 10:10).

Hope you really enjoy your visit with your son and his family. We are currently enjoying our daughter's visit with her 20 month old son. There is nothing like a like grandchild to bring life to the house. We took him to see Santa (yes he is already at the Mall) and have his photo taking today. It turned out really well. They will be traveling from our house in Maryland to Parris Island, SC to spend Thanksgiving with their Marine Sgt. who is attending Drill Instructor School. This will be the first Thanksgiving that they have been physically together in four years. Again, enjoy your visit. Phyllis
