HAPPY MONDAY !!
We had a nice sunny start to the day yesterday and I was able to get to church and also to help DS#5 a little as he got started on his Caricature Job at the church festival.
I bought him some lunch after church. Mom’s always have to make sure their children are well fed. I also had my first taste of corn on the cob this summer. That was part of our lunch and it was wonderful. Nice and tender and sweet ! And the good news is that my tooth didn’t break again! Oh how I do love fresh corn on the cob!
Sundays are probably my best day of the week physically and mentally. I get all refreshed and renewed for sure. Today I’ll be back to work as usual, but I have a lot to be thankful for.
I also got back to my Bible studies yesterday afternoon and put my study notes up on my ‘What’s New at My House’ journal if you’d like to take a look. The link is always at the bottom of this little letter every day.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
Please pray for God's protection of our troops and HIS wisdomfor 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…TRAIL MIX DAY
Who invented Trail Mix? The Boy Scouts? The Girl Scouts? I'd say it was a creative mom with a hungry hiker! No matter where it started, it's a hit today with everyone from campers to travelers. The best part is that you can easily modify the recipe for a sugar free snack!
1 cup dry cereal (cheerios, chex, or any type)
1 cup M&M's
1 cup peanuts
1 cup raisins
Other Options
dried fruit
yogurt covered nuts
sunflower seeds
pretzels
Put all ingredients in a large ziploc bag. Shake to mix

TODAY’S REFLECTION
You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them.
Exodus 20:4-5a
If we truly believe in God, then we need to be willing to turn over control to the Almighty, be willing to follow and trust that where the Spirit of God is leading us is a place where we could not get to alone.
Allow God to be God and be amazed at how your life begins to be touched by that very Higher Power.
