HAPPY TUESDAY !!

Back to Work!

I’m not sure if going back to work is a vacation or if the 4 days off was work… It all had to be done, and I didn’t get finished, but I sure made a good effort. What didn’t get done will now have to wait.

I’m going to put some pictures of the bathroom in my Good Morning Sunshine journal so you can see what what I did get finished.

Today work will be hectic and I know the bosses have piled the desk high in my absence. Come evening I’ll be ready to soak in the tub and enjoy my BEACH Room.

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

Watch for the postman, I want to get this letter in the mail today.

Quit slamming that screen door!

Be sure to pull the windows down when you leave, it looks like it might shower -- and bring in the clothes on the line, too.

Don't forget to wind the clock before you go to bed.

Wash your feet before you go to bed, they are nasty from playing barefooted outside all day.

Why can't you remember to roll up your pants legs? Getting them caught in the bicycle chain so many times is tearing them up.

You have torn the knees out of that pair of pants so many times there is nothing left to put a patch on.

Don't you go outside with your good school clothes on!

Hang up your Sunday School clothes, you know you need to pass them down to your brother in good condition.

Be sure and pour the cream off the top of the milk when you open the new bottle. I need it for baking and Pa's coffee.

Take that empty bottle to the store with you so you won't have to pay a deposit on another one.

Put a dish towel over the cake so the flies won't get on it.

Quit jumping on the floor! I have a cake in the oven and you are going to make it fall if you don't quit!

TODAY’S REFLECTION

The best thing we can do is enjoy eating, drinking and working. I believe these are God's gifts to us.

Ecclesiastes 2:24

Statistics show that 70% of all workers say they are not satisfied with their job. What a sad situation

There is a lesson here for young people. While you are still without family responsibilities, know your abilities and your likes and dislikes. Make certain that the line of work you enter is one in which you will find satisfaction and joy.

Heavenly Father, we pray for those who are unhappy in their labor. Give them your joy in whatever they do. Amen
