TODAY’S QUOTE

One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been

Will Rogers

HAPPY TUESDAY!

We are still very toasty here. Dry and dryer is the word. We will be watering a lot trying to keep things growing for sure.

Monday was a very fast day with lots to do. Hopefully today will be a little quieter.

I got the ok to have Friday off work and have an appointment finally to either get my tooth fixed or have another partial made, which ever they think best. I’ll be so glad to have that tooth back!

The appointment is at 8 am Friday so then I’ll have the rest of the day to help my sisters with the work at my Dad’s house. Still lots to go through.

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…SMILE POWER DAY

Just in case you've ever doubted the power of smiling... It takes twice as many muscles to frown as it does to smile. Smiling is the most recognized form of beauty, friendship, acceptance. and goodwill. A smile can lower the blood pressure of everyone who sees it. And smiling can even lengthen your life. That's a lot of payback for something that's so easy to do - and free!

TODAY’S TRIVIA

Today is Don't Step On A Bee Day

National Pina Colada Day

It was on this day in 1965 that The Rolling Stones, who took their name from a Muddy Waters song, hit the top spot on the Billboard chart. It was their first time at the top. The hit, (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, stayed at number one for 4 weeks. Considered by many to be the greatest rock band in the world, Satisfaction remains the Stones’ signature.

1890 - Wyoming, the state with the smallest population entered the Union this day. The 44th state was named after an Algonquin Indian word meaning ‘large prairie place’.

1900 - One of the most famous trademarks in the world, ‘His Master’s Voice’, was registered with the U.S. Patent Office. The logo of the Victor Talking Machine Company, and later, RCA Victor, shows the dog, Nipper, looking into the horn of a gramophone machine.

1962 - The Telstar communications satellite was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, FL. Telstar would usher in a new age of communication via telephone and TV, with voice and picture transmission from Europe to America and back.

TODAY’S SMILE

An elderly man in Florida had owned a large farm for several years. He had a pond in the back, fixed up nice, picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees. The pond was ideal for swimming, though he rarely did that any more.

One evening he decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while and look it over. He grabbed a 5 gallon bucket in which to bring back some fruit.

As he neared the pond he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. When he drew nearer he saw that it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all rushed to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him "We're not coming out'til you leave!"

The old man frowned "I didn't come here to watch you ladies swim naked or to make you get out of the pond naked,". Holding the bucket up he said "I'm here to feed the alligator!"

Moral: Old men can still think!!!

TODAY’S REFLECTION

The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the Lord blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.

Isaiah 40:7-8

Many of us are experiencing our September years, and I've heard some seniors say that it is a fight all the way. There are the aches and pains and failing sight or hearing.

We seniors have the opportunity to be good listeners to our children, grandchildren and friends. And we should value highly the ancient Word of God, for after all of us have left this earth, God's Word will still be standing.

Heavenly Father, guide us through your undying Word, that we may live our fleeting years wisely and joyfully.

Amen
