TODAY'S THOUGHT
Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
Michael Jordan
TODAY’S ACTION
Learn to think of opportunity instead of security.
TODAY’S QUOTE
Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.
Mother Teresa
HAPPY SUNDAY
As I checked the weather on Saturday morning I noticed that all my weather areas had sunshine. I’ve got it set up so I can see the weather for all of my ‘babes’. The temps ranged from a low for DS#3 of 33 in the am and a high for DS#4 of 81 in the pm I was just thinking what a grand day for them all !
Usually sunshine means there will be no foul weather, let’s just hope none of them ate chicken so there were no fowl moods either ! He he !
A friend of mine always uses that simile so I just though I’d use it once too ! Ha Ha!
I’m off to church and then to take communion to my DDH’s elderly aunt once more.
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…JUST SALUTE DAY
Saluting comes from a tradition that belonged to the medieval knights. Shaking hands was the way to show you carried no hidden weapons. Pulling up the visor of your armor to show your face was just as important - it showed you were a a friend. This became the widespread custom of nodding or tipping your hat as a greeting. In the ranks of the military, it became the formal salute.

On this day in 1878, the first Egg Roll was held on the grounds of the White House in Washington, DC. The first president on hand for the first Egg Roll was Rutherford B. Hayes. He and his wife Lucy made it an official event. It has been held every year since, except during the war years of WWI and WWII through 1953. The president who brought the tradition back in 1953 was Dwight D. Eisenhower.
TODAY’S SMILE
A king went to his garden and discovered that his trees, bushes and flowers were dying. The Oak told him that was dying because it could not be as tall as the Pine.
Turning to the Pine, found it fallen because could not give grapes as the Vine. And the Vine was dying because could not blossom as the Rose. The Rose cried because could not be as tall and solid as the Oak.
Then he found a plant, a Strawberry, blossoming and fresher than ever. The king asked it," How do you grow so healthy in the mist of this withered and somber garden?" "I do not know. Perhaps it be because always I supposed that when you planted me, you wanted strawberries.
If you would have wanted an Oak or a Rose, you had planted them. At that time I said to myself: "I will try to be Strawberry the best way I can."
Now it is your turn.
You are here to contribute with our fragrance. Simply look at yourself. There are no possibilities you be another person. You could enjoy it and blossom with your own love for you, or you could wither in your own sentence...
Found this one surfing the net, author unknown, but I’m very thankful to them.

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind.
Luke 10:27
I'm sure that most of us are familiar with today's scripture, but have you ever considered seriously that it commands us to love the Lord with all our minds?
Everything that we do or say comes from what is in our mind. We renew our minds by learning from our Savior Jesus Christ. When we study his life and his teachings, we are renewing our minds and growing closer to him. Then our thoughts become in sync with God's will for us.
