07/07/07

With all these seven’s in the date it should be a lucky day! It is for me anyway! I’m off to visit the campers!!! This is my second favorite place to be, the first is of course The Beach!

We camped for many summers when the babes were growing up. It was truly a fun time and enjoyed by all of us! I loved being out where it’s quiet and you have the woods around you and lots of fresh air and sunshine! You could sit out and watch the sunrise and sit somemore and watch the sun set.

I was a camper that liked to take it easy and rest. Things have changed considerably since then…now the campers all have a/c and microwaves!

I’m off about 8 this morning and should be home by dark!

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…ICE CREAM CONE DAY

For centuries, ice cream was served in saucers. It wasn't until 1904 at the St. Louis World's Fair that ice cream was sold in a cone. When an ice cream vendor ran out of paper dishes, he ran to the next booth where a man was selling waffles. He rolled a waffle, filled it with ice cream, and the rest is history. Within a decade, 1/3 of the ice cream eaten in the U.S. was eaten from a waffle cone.

TODAY’S SMILE

A Child's Prayer:

Dear Lord, tonight I want to ask something special of you... change me into a TV set. I want to take it's place to be able live the life that the TV lives in our house:

- To have a special room just for me;

- To bring together the members of my family, all around me;

- To be the center of attention, that all want to hear without being interrupted or questioned;

- To have them take me seriously when I speak;

- To feel the special and immediate care the TV receives when it doesn't work perfectly;

- To have the company of my father even though he arrives tired from work;

- To have my mom seek me out when she's alone and bored, instead of ignoring me;

- To have my brothers and sisters fight amongst themselves to be with me and to have them all enjoy themselves with me even though sometimes I don't have anything to say to them;

- To live the feeling that they will drop everything to spend some time at my side I'm not asking a lot of you Lord

- all of this is what every TV experiences!!

TODAY’S WORD

sere \SEER\, adjective:

Dry; withered.

Recent rains have done little to relieve the sere conditions.

Sere comes from Old English sear, "dry."

TODAY’S REFLECTION

I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge -- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3: 17b-18

I believe that most of us would pray this way for our children. In times of disappointment or sorrow, you have his comfort. In crises of your life, you can rely on his wisdom.

You can step forward, no matter what the challenge may be. Nothing in life is secure. When your security is based on Christ's enduring love, you can face any and all challenges, without doubt or fear.
