HAPPY TUESDAY

Today I’ll be doing what I normally would do at work on Thursday, and tomorrow will be the last day of the work week for me. I can hardly wait ! A four day weekend sounds heavenly!

We went out for dinner last night and then did a little shopping. DDIL# 4 is the professional shopper ! She even found a Shop-aholic calendar for the New Year.

Tonite they are going to visit with some old friends of theirs, so it will be a quiet evening for me. Maybe I’ll even get to bed at a decent hour. I’ve been staying up way past my bedtime since they came in on Saturday.

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…WORLD HELLO DAY

Celebrate World Hello Day By Saying "Hi" to at least ten people!

I'm starting with you, so... HI!

TODAY’S TRIVIA

1944: "The Roy Rogers Show" premiered on the Mutual Broadcasting System. The "King of the Cowboys" sang with the Whippoorwills and the Sons of the Pioneers

1980 - The largest TV audience ever, an estimated 82 million people, watched as Sue Ellen’s sister, Kristin Shepard, shot J.R. Ewing on Dallas. The jilted mistress was seen holding the smoking gun after a summer of viewers asking that haunting question, “Who Shot J.R.?” Eighty percent of all viewers watched the show.

TODAY’S SMILE

Jill wanted to convince Susan, a continually harried friend, that she needed to find ways to relax. She invited her to dinner and, while she was busy cooking, Susan agreed to watch her videotape on stress management and relaxation techniques.

Fifteen minutes later, she came into the kitchen and handed Jill the tape. "It was good," she said, "but I don't need it."

"But it's a 70-minute video," Jill replied. "You couldn't have watched the whole thing."

"Yes, I did," Susan assured her. "I put it on fast-forward."

ONE MORE…

The roof of the small Quaker meeting room was badly damaged and the members could not raise the necessary funds. The owner of the local tavern came to the leaders and said, "I do not belong to your congregation and you know what I do for a living. But I respect your faithfulness and appreciated the stability you bring to our town. Therefore I would like to give $5,000 to repair your roof."

The leaders discussed and worried whether they could accept the gift since it came from profits of selling liquor. Finally they went to the oldest member, a 95 year old. She sat rocking and listening to their problem. At last she replied, " But of course thou takest the money. The devil has had it long enough."

TODAY’S REFLECTION

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry...

The Bible assures us time and again that God is eager to hear and answer prayer. Trust God, for he loves you! He will hear and answer your prayer in the way he knows is best for you. http://www.dailyguideposts.com
