TODAY’S QUOTE

Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes it comes alone.

HAPPY TUESDAY !!

It’s the very last day of July already!! It will be in the upper 80’s today according to the weather people. Yesterday when I got home the thermometer read 90 degrees in the shade. That is very warm for us here in Northern Ohio. Thankfully I have a/c at work and at home.

Work was busy for a Monday. Our company is looking to hire more men as we have so much work to be done. This is a first in a long time. I think I’ll be fine even with the increased work load as I’m often doing some kind of busy work to fill in the time.

The busy work can just wait til winter when there is not much else to do. Most of our work is weather related and we really work when the sun shines.

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…COTTON CANDY DAY

Cotton candy is nothing but sugar, air and a little food coloring! And there is no way to make it without special equipment. You have to melt the sugar and spin it through small holes to make threads. The air cools the threads so they form a fluffy web that sticks to a paper cone. And why does it melt in your mouth? If you mix cotton candy with water, it dissolves right back into sugar.

Today is Make Today Better Than Yesterday Day.

Today is Mutt's Day, honor all dogs that are not just one breed

TODAY’S SMILE

A little boy was helping his father move some books out of an attic into more spacious quarters downstairs. It was important to this little boy that he was helping his dad, even though he was probably getting in the way and slowing things down more than he was actually assisting.

But that boy had a wise and patient father who knew it was more important to work at a task with his young son than it was to move a pile of books efficiently.

Among this man's books, however, were some rather large study books, and it was a chore for the boy to get them down the stairs. As a matter of fact, on one particular load, the boy dropped his pile of books several times.

Finally, he sat down on the stairs and wept in frustration. He wasn't doing any good at all. He wasn't strong enough to carry the big books down a narrow stairway. It hurt him to think he couldn't do this for his daddy.

Without a word, the father picked up the dropped load of books, put them into the boy's arms, and scooped up both the boy and the books into his arms and carried them down the stairs.

And so they continued load after load, both very much enjoying each other's company. The boy carrying the books, and the dad carrying the boy.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalms 37:4

I will tell you the outstanding thing I have learned. It is this: Life will only work out one way, and that is God's way. He made it like that. Every other way has across it a barricade bearing a notice which says, 'No thoroughfare this way.'"

Leslie Weatherhead

Only our Creator has the key that unlocks the doors to peace and serenity. Let's surrender fully to God through Jesus Christ
