HAPPY THURSDAY
I did manage to get the outside decorations taken down last evening. The sun was shining and today it’s supposed to rain so I took advantage of the nice weather.
I heard from DS#2 and he was safely home, thank the good Lord.
Please pray with me today for DS#2 and his family, for my next-door sister’s youngest son who had to go to the emergency room last evening for what seems to be appendicitis, and for my dad who is not doing very well at all.
And as always, 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 !

Humor is the great thing, the saving thing.... The minute it crops up ... all our irritations, and resentments flit away, and a sunny spirit takes their place.
Mark Twain
Just a few short ones today…
Several women were visiting elderly Mrs. Diamond who was very ill. After a while, they rose to leave and told her, "Esther, we will keep you in our prayers."
"Just wash the dishes in the kitchen," the ailing woman said, "I can do my own praying."

TODAY’S REFLECTION
I prayed for this child, and the LORD granted my request; now I, in turn, give him to the LORD.... Blessed are they who dwell in Your house, O Lord.... 1 Samuel 1:20-28
If you are married, then the central goal of your life should be to get to Heaven, and to help your spouse and children get there too. Every other dream, decision, and direction ought to be subservient to that central focus of your life.
You cannot afford to undermine your own life mission by sanctioning family activities and customs which jeopardize your primary purpose.
If one member forgets to wash his hands, cover his mouth when he sneezes, wear warm clothes in cold weather, or clean the dishes thoroughly with soap and hot water, then the health of the entire family is at risk because of the bad health habits of just one person in the family
If one member uses foul or biting language, or is disrespectful, or lies, or compromises marital fidelity, or neglects prayer and duty to God, then the sanctity of the entire family is belittled because of the bad sinful habits of just one person in the family.
Fr. Rory Pitstick, SSL
TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
