HAPPY FINALLY FRIDAY
This evening after work I begin the first leg of my trip to visit the ‘Sunshine’ babes. I’ll meet up with DS#1 and his family then tomorrow morning we’ll be leaving on the 8 hour drive to DS#4’s home. I won't be home til Tuesday, the 27th.
I’m not sure about how much I’ll be able to post as far as my newsletter or my journal goes, but I’ll put the two links below for you to check on if you want.
I won’t be sending out this newsletter until I’m home again on the evening of the 27th. If time allows I’ll put entries in the AOL journals below.

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.
25 WORDS
God, I thank You for today, for the ways You will bless me, and for the ways that I will serve others in Your name
TODAY IS…BARBIE DOLL DAY
The first Barbie came in a black and white swim suit with the full name "Barbie Roberts" on the box. She was introduced in 1959 at a New York toy fair and got mixed reviews. No one guessed she would be the most successful toy ever produced. Mattel sells over 1.5 million dolls every week - that's two dolls per second. Over the last 40 years, 90% of all American girls have owned a Barbie. Nobody knows how many have gone on diets trying to match this unrealistic image that is only a toy.

2. Most people will be about as happy, as they decide to be.
3. Others can stop you temporarily, but only you can do it permanently.

5. Success stops when you do.
6. When your ship comes in...make sure you are willing to unload it.

11. I've learned that ultimately 'takers' lose and 'givers' win.
12. Life's precious moments don't have value, unless they are shared.
13. If you don't start, it's certain you won't arrive.
14. We often fear the thing we want the most.

27. A coincidence is when God performs a miracle, and decides to remain anonymous.
28. I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.
29. Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace...and your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace.
30. Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back.

Unselfish concern for the welfare of others; selflessness.
TODAY’S REFLECTION
Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles.
Proverbs 21:23
James, a “pillar in the early church” (Gal. 2:9), recognized the great destructive power and the danger of an uncontrolled tongue. He was not alone. Men and women in many cultures have warned us about the need to guard our speech. Is it any wonder that James likened the tongue to a little fire that sets a great forest ablaze, or to the very small rudder that turns a mighty ship in a storm? (James 3:4-6).
Wise is the person who knows what to say and when to say it
TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC

I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!
