TODAY’S QUOTE

We increasingly live in a complicated world in which those things that can be done in one click get done, and those that can't, don't.

Brad DeLong

HAPPY WEDNESDAY

Is it really only Wednesday??? Long week here already. I’m ready for a weekend. Getting back in the swing of a 5 day work week isn’t easy. I think I must get to bed earlier.

It was another cold and windy day here yesterday, high temps were in the low 30’s. Just a few snow flurries with no accumulation. Today I think we are supposed to get back up in the 40’s. That’s way better than freezing !

The news on the homefront is that DS#6 has another art show that he is displaying work in this weekend. I can’t go because of my commitment to spending Saturday evening with my Dad, but I know he’s excited about it. He’s also supposed to do a bit of traveling for work this week, so I’ll be praying for some safe trips for him. Thankfully the weather isn’t an issue.

It seems that in our family there is always something going on and it’s impossible for me to join in on all the activities, but they are all always in my thoughts and prayers.

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.

Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine deployed in harm's way, prayer is the very best!!!

God Bless You !

TODAY IS…MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE DAY

Take hold of your dreams and make them become a reality If you can dream it, you can do it !

TODAY’S SMILE

TIMING IS CRUCIAL (Think About It)

I heard or read a humorous story about a fellow who decided to run his rotary lawn mower over a frog and butcher it with the blade. To his amazement, however, after he ran the mower over the frog, there it was still in one piece. He did this several times, and always the frog would be there in one piece without a mark on him.

Finally, the fellow ran the mower over the top of the frog, and left it there with the blade whizzing around. Then, he kneeled down and peered underneath to see how it was that the mower blade never did hit him. What do you think? When he looked under his mower, there the frog was jumping that blade like a jump-rope every time it spun around with perfect timing!

Can you believe it!? No? Well, I don't either, and it doesn't sound too smart to be looking under a lawnmower with the blade whizzing away. Don't do that, but the story illustrates what I'm trying to get across--timing is sometimes crucial. Especially is this so when we are walking with God. We should neither lag behind nor run ahead, for the consequence of either could be eternally fatal.

Duane V. Maxey

Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or fastest person. But sooner or later, the person who wins is the one who thinks they can.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

Proverbs 16:9

We think ahead and carefully work out a plan. We picture in our minds with great detail how our future is going to unfold. But things don’t go as planned. Some doors close, while others open. If this happens to you, it may be that God has something completely different in mind.

It’s good to plan and dream and think ahead. But we must always be open to God-appointed changes in direction God will never mislead us. When we trust Him with all our heart, He will direct our paths His way is always best.
