TODAY’S QUOTE

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

Leo Buscaglia

HAPPY WEDNESDAY

And Happy Birthday to DDIL #6

May the dear Lord Bless You today and Always !

It’s Over the Hump Day !

We got a pleasant surprise yesterday. The sun came out and it actually got up to 70 degrees outside. What a blessing ! I was able to go outside in my shirtsleeves without a coat or sweater. I started the morning with both, but by noon I didn’t need either of them.

Today we should be in the mid 60’s but will have rain , not sunshine. I’m just so thankful that we got the one day with sun and warmth.

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’S SMILE

Don't Forget

A man was going down a street when in a store window he saw a very beautiful picture of the crucifixion. As he gazed spellbound at the vividly pictured story, he suddenly became conscious that at his side stood a young boy.

The boy, too, was gazing at the picture, and his tense expression made the man know that "The Crucifixion" had really gripped the eager little soul. Touching the boy on the shoulder, the man said, "Sonny, what does it mean?"

"Doncha know?" he answered, his face full of the marvel of the man's ignorance. "That there man is Jesus, an' them others is Roman soldiers, an' the woman what's cryin' is His mother, an'" he added, "they killed 'im!"

The man did not want to move from in front of that impressive piece of artwork but he had other things he had to do, so he turned and walked away.

In a few moments he heard footsteps on the street behind him, and there came rushing up the boy.

"Say, mister," he exclaimed breathlessly,

"I forgot to tell you, but He rose again!"

TODAY’S WORD

Chimera

TODAY’S REFLECTION

God . . . rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

Genesis 2:2

Doesn’t it seem that there’s always work to do and no time for rest? Answer the following questions as honestly as you can to determine if you need to rest: Do I feel stressed when functioning in my normal day-to-day activities? Is it difficult to find joy? Do I get the kind of rest my body needs? Do I wake up tired?

In creation, God established a pattern of work and rest, which is a model for believers. For 6 days God worked to bring order to our world. But on the seventh day, after He had finished all His creative activity, He rested.

God demonstrated that rest is appropriate and right. If the Lord rested from the work of creation and from His earthly ministry, we need to rest from our work as well. Our times of rest refresh us for times of service

All work and no play will take the joy of life away.
