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
A fellow who just reached his 120th birthday was giving a press conference to the assembled media. "Excuse me, sir," one of the reporters said, "but how did you come to live to be 120?
"It's actually quite simple," the old feller replied. "I just never argue." "That's impossible," the reporter responded. "There must be something else, like diet, or meditation, or something. Just not arguing won't keep you alive for 120 years!"
The old fellow stared hard at the reporter for several seconds. "Hmmm," he finally shrugged, "maybe you're right."
Seen on a birthday card:
Forget about the past, You can't change it. Forget about the future, You can't predict it.
Inside: Forget about the present, I didn't buy you one.
A nurse is writing down necessary information about a new patient, in preparation for her physical examination... Nurse: "How old are you, Mrs. Smith?"
Patient: "None of your business." Nurse: "But the doctor must know your age for his records." Patient: "Well, first, multiply twenty by two, then add ten. Got that?" Nurse: "Yes, fifty." Patient: "
All right, now subtract fifty, and tell me, what do you get?" Nurse: "Zero." Patient: "Right. And that's exactly the chance of me telling you my age."
I will speak of the mighty works of the Lord; O GOD, I will tell of your singular justice. God, you have taught me from my youth; to this day I proclaim your wondrous deeds. Now that I am old and gray, do not forsake me, God, That I may proclaim your might to all generations yet to come, Your power and justice, God, to the highest heaven. You have done great things; O God, who is your equal?
Psalm 71: 16-19

TODAY’S REFLECTION
All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
Proverbs 15:15
Not all of us will live a long time, but we can all live well each day—with laughter, the Lord, and the little things in life.
Laughter—"A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken" (Prov. 15:13). True happiness begins deep inside and emerges on our faces.
The Lord—"The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility" (v.33). When God is central in our hearts, He can teach us His way through every experience of life.
The Little Things—"Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted calf with hatred" (v.17). Maintaining loving relationships and enjoying the basic things of life are more important than wealth and success.
OUR DAILY BREAD
TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
Leave mulch on your perennial beds until there are several nights in a row with above -freezing temperatures. As you remove the mulch, add it to your compost pile.
12 DAYS UNTIL SPRING !
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
I Love You All !!!
