HAPPY THURSDAY !!

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DDIL#3

May the dear Lord bless you today and always!

We have lots of August celebrations. DS#5 already had his birthday along with the ‘Newlyweds’ anniversary, and now DDIL#3’s birthday then towards the end of the month DS#1 has a birthday.

Along with all that, we have DD and her hubby getting ready to move and DS#6 called last night to say they’ve found a house to buy and will be making an offer on it. Busy, busy month for sure.

I did talk to DS#4 last night and all is very well with them. Our ‘Sunshine’ boy is taking swimming lessons and doing very good with that.

With a large family, it seems someone is always doing something.

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…BRATWURST FESTIVAL DAY

Every August, there's a 2 day celebration commemorating Bratwurst in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Bratwurst is a big, fat sausage of German origin. In the U.S., you'll usually find it made of a pork and spices, severd on a bun and topped with sauerkraut. Over in Germany, it's made with different kinds of meat, but usually veal. And as to eating... a bratwurst in one hand and a roll in the other is politically correct. Either way, it sounds really good to me

TODAY’S TRIVIA

TODAY’S SMILE

THE WEIGHTIER FACTS OF LIFE

A diet is a weigh of life.

It's not the minutes spent at the table that put on weight, it's the seconds.

Sweets are the destiny that shapes our ends.

Diets are for people who are thick and tired of it.

The toughest part of a diet isn't watching what you eat. It's watching what other people eat.

A diet is when you have to go to some length to change your width.

People go to Weight Watchers to learn their lessens.

A diet is what you go on when not only can't you fit into the store's dresses, you can't fit into the dressing room.

TODAY’S WORD

plenipotentiary \plen-uh-puh-TEN-shee-air-ee; -shuh-ree\, adjective:

1. Containing or conferring full power; invested with full power; as, "plenipotentiary license; plenipotentiary ministers."

noun: 1. A person invested with full power to transact any business; especially, an ambassador or diplomatic agent with full power to negotiate a treaty or to transact other business.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Honey is good for you, my children, and it tastes sweet. Wisdom is like honey for your life – if you find it, your future is bright.

Proverbs 24:13-14

We know that life isn't always fair. Just as the sun doesn't shine every day and clouds bring storms our way, life can bring some harsh weather.

Wisdom can be for us the sugar that helps us take whatever life brings Unless you know how to use the knowledge you have gained, you can still act foolishly. I know men and women who haven't even finished high school, yet their commonsense astounds me. And the longer I know them, the more I realize how much of their wisdom comes from God.

They have listened eagerly to the preaching and teaching of God's Word. But what is most important, they have applied these principles to their lives and they have acted wisely on what they have learned.
