HAPPY MONDAY !!
BACK TO WORK!
Yesterday morning, I woke up to light rain with a chill in the air. It was only 58 degrees here. This whole week shows rain in the forecast, but the temps will get up into the 80’s . I guess we’ll be making our own sunshine for sure.
Our county fair is this week and typically it rains during fair week. DS#5 will be working there all week long, so we’ll be praying that the sun will shine for him a bit. He does his caricature sketches there and will have more mud than customers if it’s raining.
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…THOMAS EDISON DAY
Thomas Alva Edison was the world's greatest inventor. Born in 1847, in Milan, Ohio, he patented 1,093 inventions. The most famous was the light bulb, but he also developed the first phonograph and kinetoscope (for viewing moving film).
In tribute to his genius, electric lights in the U.S. were dimmed for one minute on October 21, 1931, a few days after his death.
"Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."
Thomas Edison

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Surely, this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too hard for you, nor is it too far away. No, the word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to observe.
Deuteronomy 30:11, 14
It's very easy to say that you believe. It can be a lot tougher to actually follow through and show it. However, if we are going to allow our lives to be ones where the power of God is able to be felt, then we need to turn over the reins to God and allow the Almighty to show us how to live.
We need to turn the reins over and allow the Almighty to show us how to follow through.
