HAPPY MONDAY

Today is a vacation day for me so…DD and I will be going on our annual Presidents’ Day shopping trip to the outlet mall. The weather is supposed to be much warmer with NO snow. We’ll see…

I spoke with DS#4 and he’ll be leaving on another business trip the end of the week so I’ll be praying for a safe trip for him. It turns out that he was in our part of the State this past Tuesday and Wednesday for work. What a time to come to Ohio. His meeting for work was just one day, but because of all the snow he had to stay over.

DS#1 called and let me know that his MIL’s husband was in the hospital for tests Sunday evening, so we’ll be praying for him also.

It seems there is never a dull moment and always a lot to pray about.

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…WATCH CASABLANCA DAY

Casablanca is rated second (behind Citizen Kane) on the American Film Institute's Top 100 Greatest American Movies list. It was filmed in 59 days on the sound stages of Warner Bros. in 1942. The script was based on a play called "Everybody Goes to Rick's" that was never produced. With pages reaching the set as they were scheduled to be shot, nobody knew how the movie would end until the final days of production.

TODAY’S TRIVIA

Today in the U.S. is Presidents Day, honoring all former presidents, particularly George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, whose birthdays are in February.

Today is National Chocolate Mint Day

1913: The first "prize" was placed in a Cracker Jack box.

1955 - Dot Records launched Two Hearts, Two Kisses, One Love, the first single by Pat Boone

1985: Coca-Cola introduced bottled Cherry Coke. Soda jerks at drug store fountains had been mixing it since the 1930s.

TODAY’S SMILE

A funny guy once said to me, "I'm planning to retire and live off my savings. What I'll do the second day, I have no idea."

But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. -Luke 12:31

TODAY’S REFLECTION

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

I John 5:14

There have been times when God answered my prayers in a way I never expected and I didn't believe he had answered. Then as events progressed, I saw that he had answered my prayer in a better way than I could have ever planned. I didn't have the patience to faithfully wait for his answer and I worried needlessly.
