HAPPY THURSDAY!
This is the last day of my work week. Tomorrow will be a working vacation day.
We got just a little more rain here yesterday and it’s been quite muggy outside.
There is just not much to tell. These have been quiet busy days this week just filled with work and not much else. Ordinary days are good so I’m not complaining.
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…FLITCH DAY

TODAY’S WORD
bibelot \BEE-buh-loh\, noun:
A small decorative object without practical utility; a trinket.

TODAY’S REFLECTION
But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to him who formed it 'Why did you make me like this?' Romans 9:20
One of the lessons we learn early is that life isn't fair. When troubles plague our lives, we say it's unfair. The Bible tells us about Jonah who thought that the wicked Ninevites should be punished. When God gave them a second chance, Jonah pouted and thought it wasn't fair.
Things don't always go as we would like, but we don't have to waste time moaning and groaning. You can make your life miserable by looking on the dark side and feeling sorry for yourself. Or you can look on the bright side and try to find what is good about your situation.
Look without, be depressed.
Look within, be distressed.
Look at Jesus, be at rest.
Corrie Ten Boom
