HAPPY THURSDAY
AND Happy Birthday to my BIL
May the dear Lord bless you today and always.
Yesterday was a long day. After work I had my income taxes done, then after that met DS#5 and his wife and her father for dinner at Friendly’s . DS#5 got free dinners for us if he let this financial planner give us a short talk. Dinner was great and free too ! Then I went to church and got my ashes. And was finally home for the night a little after 8.
Today I’ll be home right after work. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to 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’S SMILE EIGHT GIFTS THAT COST NOTHING
1) THE GIFT OF LISTENING... But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening.
2) THE GIFT OF AFFECTION... Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.
3) THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER... Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."
4) THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE... It can be a simple "Thanks for the help" note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life.
5) THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT... A simple and sincere, "You look great in red," "You did a super job" or "That was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.
6) THE GIFT OF A FAVOR... Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.
7) THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE... There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.
8) THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION... The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone, really it's not that hard to say, Hello or Thank You.

(A PRAYER)
Lord, Thou knowest better than I know myself that I am growing older...Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion. Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody; helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all, but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end.
Amen!
TODAY’S WORD
sal·u·tar·y adjective.

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith...
I Corinthians 16:13
One of the most important things in life is standing firm to the end. We start a project with good intentions and then allow other things to get in the way and we don't persevere Are you letting others discourage you about your plans? Are you listening to them, rather than going to God in prayer and listening for his answer?
When God is your partner, you can stand firm in the faith -- in God and in yourself.
