HAPPY TUESDAY
We had some snow showers when I left for work Monday morning, but that was all. The rest of the day was very windy and cold. Over night we were supposed to get maybe an inch of snow…
I got a lot done at work because no one else was in the office til after 4 pm. Today will be more of the same…so it should be another good day!
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.
GOD BLESS YOU !
TODAY IS…STEP FATHER’S DAY
It's time to honor all step-fathers everywhere who come into our lives and hold a special place in our hearts. Our extra dads, our cheerleaders, our friends. Thanks for being who you are!

TODAY’S SMILE THE LIST
A husband and wife didn’t really love each other. The man was very demanding, so much so that he prepared a list of rules and regulations for his wife to follow. He insisted that she read them over every day and obey them to the letter.
Among other things, his “do’s and don’ts” indicated such details as what time she had to get up in the morning, when his breakfast should be served, and how the housework should be done.
After several long years, the husband died. As time passed, the woman fell in love with another man, one who dearly loved her. Soon they were married.
This husband did everything he could to make his new wife happy, continually showering her with tokens of his appreciation.
One day as he was cleaning house, she found tucked away in a drawer the list of commands her first husband had drawn up for her. As she looked it over, it dawned on her that even though her present husband hadn’t given her any kind of list, she was doing everything her first husband’s list required anyway.
She realized she was so devoted to this man that her deepest desire was to please him out of love, not obligation.
Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Robert Heinlein .

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, [Jesus] said to them, 'Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.'
Mark 6:31
Does this remind you of life today? We live in a busy civilization, and we sometimes get worn out. Jesus says the same thing to all of us: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
Many find it rewarding to find a few quiet moments, either at the beginning or the end of the day, to read from God's Word and spend time in meditation and prayer.You will find that Jesus' promise is true. You will have more peace and joy, plus having plenty of time left for the rest of the day's activities.
