HAPPY SUNDAY !!
We had a busy day here yesterday and I enjoyed the visit with my DS#1 and his family. The grand’babes’ all head back to school this coming week and they are excited about it. I’m not sure what DDIL#1 will do with that free time and no children at home, but I’m sure she’ll think of something!
We got to have dinner with DD and her hubby and DS#5 and his wife. It was great to have at least that much of my family together. They are all so busy and time rarely gives us much of chance to do so.
Today is my R&R day once again.
After church, I’ve got a few things to finish up around here to get ready for the new work week ahead, but otherwise it should be a quiet day.
I hope you all can find some time for a little R & R too !
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…SPICY FOODS DAY
The spices in the hot foods we eat are oily. And, we all know that oil and water don't mix. So, what can you do to cool down a hot mouth? Try one of these... Eat bread - it will absorb the oily spices. Drink milk - it contains "casein" that binds the spices and carries them away.

1856 - Gail Borden of Brooklyn, NY patented his process for condensed milk. You’ve heard of Borden’s condensed milk ... “The milk from contented cows.” This slogan was used in one of the great American advertising campaigns. The familiar flat- topped cans of Borden’s condensed milk are still available, as are Borden’s ice cream, cheese and other products -- all with the seal of approval by Borden’s famous mascot, Elsie, the cow.
1883: Gabrielle Chanel was born in France. "Coco" created the perfume Chanel #5.
TODAY’S SMILE
A newly married woman insisted on going to the California desert so she could be near her soldier husband. The only place the couple could find to live was a rundown shack near an Indian village.
The daytime heat was unbearable-105 degrees in the shade. The dry wind blew constantly, covering everything with dust. None of the Indians spoke English. The young wife was miserable. Then she learned that her husband was going deeper into the desert for 2 weeks.
So she wrote her mother and asked if she could come home. In her mother's reply were these words: "Two men looked through prison bars; one saw mud, the other saw stars." As the woman read those lines over and over, she decided to change.
She would look for the stars. She set out to make friends with the Indians. When they saw her genuine interest, they taught her weaving and pottery. She learned their culture. Then she began to study the desert itself-its cacti, Joshua trees, and seashells left behind by the sands of an ocean floor.
Not only did she survive, she became known as an expert on the area and later published a book about it.
Are you in an unbearable, inescapable situation? Do you have a negative attitude? Like Joseph or this wife, you can change. Look at the situation positively and make the best of it with the help of God.
Who knows? You might end up writing a book.

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
I Peter 5:8
The Bible teaches us that the devil is alive and well and roaming the earth Make no mistake, you have to be alert! The devil can say, "Come on, try it. What can it hurt?" But when you take time to pray about it first, you'll not lose the battle by accepting that temptation.
