TODAY’S QUOTE
Don't regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.
HAPPY SUNDAY
I look at the weather every day and I’ve noticed that my ‘babes’ down south are even getting some cooler temps. Not as cold as northern Ohio, but after the sweltering 100 degree days they had this summer, it is a chilling change for them.
Today after church I’m supposed to do lunch with DD. It seems that with all her weekend trips and camping all summer, we’ve not been able to get together in quite awhile. I always enjoy spending time with my family.
I did manage to clear off the pool table yesterday, now I’m all set to wrap some things, still have shopping to do though. The rest of my basement needs some major work however, and I’m not so sure when that will be done. I’ll just do the important things first and work my way down.
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… Guy Fawkes Day
On November 5, people in England celebrate a holiday called Guy Fawkes Day. Nearly 400 years ago, Guy Fawkes and other conspirators tried to blow up a British Parliament Building in 1605. After being apprehended they were convicted and beheaded in 1606. November 5th is now celebrated as the anniversary of the plot. Ever since, Guy Fawkes Day has been a time for merrymaking. The best part comes as darkness falls. Then, straw dummies are tossed into huge bonfires. Amid cries of glee, firecrackers pop and "the Guy" goes up in a blaze of fire.

TODAY’S SMILE
A few short ones for your today…
I bought a great new toilet seat recently. On the label was a suggestion on how to clean it. Although nice to have the option, I doubt I'll take advantage of it.
My toilet seat, it seems, is "Dishwasher Safe."
In a country home that seldom had guests, the young son was eager to help his mother after his father appeared with two dinner guests from the office. When the dinner was nearly over, the boy went to the kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of apple pie, giving it to his father, who passed it to a guest.
The boy came in with a second piece of pie and again watched his father give it to a guest. This was too much for the boy, who said, "It's no use, Dad. The pieces are all the same size”
My mom has a lead foot, so I was not surprised when a state trooper pulled us over as we were speeding through Georgia. Hoping to get off with a warning, Mom tried to appear shocked when the trooper walked up to the car.
"I have never been stopped like this before," she said to the officer.
"What do they usually do, ma'am," he asked, "shoot the tires out?"

TODAY’S REFLECTION
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. Genesis 1:31
The Bible tells us that God is good and his work is good. Shouldn't we want to be on the side that is good?
Nothing contributes more to cheerfulness
than the habit of looking at the good side of things.
The good side is God's side of them.
W. B. Ullathorne
Even when things go against us, if we have the joy of the Lord, we can find good things for which to be thankful. With hope in our hearts, we can see more clearly the way to solve any problem we may have.

TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
A pretreatment of lemon juice and salt helps remove perspiration stains from clothes.
The November full Moon was named the full Beaver Moon, because for both the colonists and the Algonquin tribes, this was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs
46 DAYS UNTIL WINTER !
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart
