February 26th, 2007

TODAY'S THOUGHT

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Henry Ford

TODAY’S QUOTE

A hug is a great gift ... one size fits all, it can be given for any occasion, and it's easy to exchange

HAPPY MONDAY

Back to work ! Our weather warmed up and we did not have the terrible ice they predicted for yesterday. Today we may get a little snow, but they say it won’t be too much.

I have 2 ten hours days to start off the work week. Monday and Tuesday, both my bosses are out of the office so I’ll have to be there from 7 til 5 each day with no lunch break. I usually pack my lunch and eat at my desk anyway.

Here we are the last week of February already. I’ll not be sad to see it go. March brings Spring and I am really ready for it.!

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…RING FINGER DAY

The custom of wearing a wedding ring on the third finger (not counting the thumb) of the left hand was started by the Greeks in the 3rd century B.C. - by mistake! The physicians wrongly believed that a vein ran from this finger to the heart. They called this the "vein of love" and considered this the logical place to wear a ring symbolizing love.

TODAY’S SMILE

If You...

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who won't survive the week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 20 million people around the world.

If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.

You are so blessed in ways you may never even know.

TODAY’S WORD

noun : a peddler of religious books

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air, come and perch in its branches.

Matthew 13: 32

Jesus said that was how the kingdom of God would grow from a very small beginning. Many things grow from very small beginnings. Then Jesus taught, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20).

Do you have seemingly impossible "mountains" blocking your path? God is with you every step of the way. Faith can help you do the impossible.
