HAPPY FINALLY FRIDAY !!
Today is my vacation day from work and also the day we leave for my nephew’s wedding on Saturday. The weather is very summer like with lots of SUN and WARMTH. Being in the mid to upper 80’s in October is a rare thing for us.
Everything is beginning to get a golden hue and the leaves are starting to fall.
Just to let you know there will be no SATURDY E-MAIL from me and Sunday’s will probably be sent out much later in the day than usual. It should be a great weekend!
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S SMILE
One of the pitfalls people over 40 fall into is thinking that it's too late. It's an old cliche but the simple fact is that it's rarely too late for anything.
Some years ago a man over 60 was offered nearly $200,000 fora restaurant-motel-service station business that he'd spent his life building up. He turned the offer down because he loved the business and wasn't ready to retire yet.
Two years later, at age 65, he was flat broke with no income to look forward to but a small Social Security check each month. The state had built a new highway bypassing his business and he lost it.
Most people would have been crushed by such a blow, but he refused to give up. Instead, he took stock. There was one thing he knew how to do - fry chicken. Maybe he could sell that knowledge to others.
He kissed his wife good-bye and in a battered old car, with a pressure cooker and a can of specially prepared flour, set out to sell his idea to other restaurants.
It was tough going and he often slept in the car because there wasn't enough money for a hotel room. A few years later he had built a nation-wide franchised restaurant chain called Kentucky Fried Chicken.
The man was Colonel Sanders.
Bits & Pieces
(It is never too late – think about it)
TODAY’S WORD
redoubtable \rih-DOW-tuh-buhl\, adjective:
1. Arousing fear or alarm; formidable.
2. Illustrious; eminent; worthy of respect or honor.
Redoubtable derives from Old French redouter, "to dread," from Medieval Latin redubitare, "to fear," literally "to doubt back at," from Latin re- + dubitare, "to doubt."
TODAY’S REFLECTION
Make a tree good and it’s fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and it’s fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.
Matthew 12:33
God created Adam and Eve and gave them free will. They disappointed him and he banished them from his garden. Many years later, humankind again disappointed God and he sent the flood. He made a covenant with Noah and once again humans disappointed God.
Then God sent his Son (John 3:16) and gave us another chance Our scripture today tells us that the fruit of our lives depends on our choices.
Our thoughts produce our actions, good or bad. When we study Jesus' life and teaching, regularly worship with other believers and pray faithfully, we plant the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control. http://www.dailyguideposts.com
