HAPPY WEDNESDAY

It really seems like a very long week. I guess it’s because I’m so looking forward to my long weekend coming up. It will be a short vacation, but I’ll take what I can get !

We’re suppose to warm up a little and have rain today. Spring showers do wash away some of the grime of winter. Soon things will be green and blossoming

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.

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…NICE FRAGRANCE DAY

The word "perfume" comes from the Latin words per fume meaning "through smoke". This reflects the oldest tradition of burning incense and herbs during religious offering. Wearing perfume didn't hit it big until the 17th century when perfumed gloves became the rage in France. The court of Louis XV was even named "the perfumed court" because scents were applied every day to skin, clothes, fans and furniture - mainly because they didn't take very many baths.

TODAY’S TRIVIA

Today is Fragrance Day and Flower Day, always the first full day of spring.

Today is National Common Courtesy Day.

Today is National French Bread Day.

1747: During a violent storm at sea, 22-year-old English slave ship captain John Newton dramatically became a Christian. He abandoned the slave trade and became an Anglican minister for 43 years. He composed the song "Amazing Grace."

1939: Singer Kate Smith recorded "God Bless America." The song became Kate Smith’s second signature after When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain; and the second national anthem of the United States of America.

TODAY’S SMILE

Ever wonder about the abbreviation ASAP?

Generally we think of it in terms of even more hurry and stress in our lives. Maybe if we think of this abbreviation in a different manner, we will begin to find a new way to deal with those rough days along the way.

There's work to do, deadlines to meet, You've got no time to spare. But as you hurry and scurry

ASAP - Always Say A Prayer.

In the midst of family chaos, "Quality time" is rare. Do your best; let God do the rest,

ASAP - Always Say A Prayer.

It may seem like your worries Are more than you can bear Slow down and take a breather,

ASAP - Always Say A Prayer.

God knows how stressful life is, He wants to ease our cares, And He'll respond to all your needs,

ASAP - Always Say A Prayer.

Today I'm saying a little prayer that God will smile on you and send you all the special blessings you deserve.

Pass it on ASAP.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

Allow each day to be what it is: another opportunity to behold (and display) the passionate love of the Almighty.

While I may never know what you face in your life, what I am sure of is that "This is the day that the Lord has made" and we should "rejoice and be glad in it".

I invite you to make this truth your own, and really live!
