HAPPY FINALLY FRIDAY !!
Life is so very precious and when it is lost, we mourn. My love, sympathy and prayers go out to the families of the bridge disaster in Minneapolis - and for all tragedies, accidents, health issues, and whatever other crisis you may be facing this day.
After a sizzling day yesterday, I’m afraid we only have another one to look forward to Well it is Summer so I guess that is what we get. The trouble is that I can’t stand the heat and have to stay in. After having spent most of the winter indoors, I’d like to be able to get outside and enjoy it.
I had the final fitting for my partial plates Thursday after work. In a couple of weeks I’ll have my new teeth. I still have the fillings and the cleaning to look forward to, but now I do have appointments for those.
After I get the teeth done, I’ll need to be getting my eyes checked. I’m afraid it’s time for that too. It’s always something for sure. My beagle is due for his shots too.
I owe , I owe, so it’s off to work I go…
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’S SMILE
STRESS MANAGEMENT
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "
The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.
In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on. "
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."
"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can."
So, my friend, why not take a while to just simply RELAX. Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now. Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while. Life is short. Enjoy it!

TODAY’S REFLECTION
If anyone believes in me, rivers of living water will flow out from that person’s heart.
John 7:38
In countless situations—stressful meetings, dull days, long drives, demanding trips—and many times a day, I step to the underground spring of God.
You don’t have to live with a dehydrated heart. Receive Christ’s work on the cross, the energy of his Spirit, his lordship over your life, his unending, unfailing love. Drink deeply and often. And out of you will flow rivers of living water.
