HAPPY SATURDAY
I started my 8 weeks to Christmas preparation this week. I’m cleaning off the pool table in the basement so that I have a place to wrap and organize the gifts that I have so far. I really do have some, but I need many more.
Along with that theme I’m starting some painting projects this weekend too ! I’m trying to paint an ornament for each of the grand’babes’ so I’d better get busy. I have more plans than time, as always there is never a dull moment here.
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…SADIE HAWINS DAY

TODAY’S SMILE
Morning Pills
This morning, before I had my first cup of coffee and chased the cob webs from my brain, there was a bit of a mess-up with the pills on the kitchen counter.
I wish to announce to any of those interested that I shall now be heartworm-free for the next 30 days.
(Not me – only a joke !)
TODAY’S WORD
cowcatcher
\KOW-ketch-er\ noun :
an inclined frame on the front of a railroad locomotive for throwing obstacles off the track
For his entry in the town parade, John outfitted his black truck with a cowcatcher and smoke stack to resemble a 19th-century locomotive.
In its heyday, railroad workers preferred the name "pilot" for that v-shaped frame which, aside from pushing aside obstacles, helped to guide the train around curves
TODAY’S REFLECTION
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Romans 12:18
In this world of people pushing and shoving to get ahead, it isn't easy to live at peace with everyone. You have to work at it. You are going to run up against abrasive people. Unfortunately it's unavoidable because there are some people who go through life making everyone miserable.
You have a choice as to how you react to them. Prayerful living prepares you for waiting for God's guidance before taking any action. And often I have found that when I react peacefully and lovingly, I find a new friend rather than an enemy.
TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
A dream of swinging on a swing denotes freedom and satisfaction
47 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 !!!
