HAPPY SUPER SATURDAY !!
I’ll be going off to the post office this morning bright and early to get gifts for DS#4 and his family and DS#2 and his family in the mail finally. With any luck they’ll receive them in 3 days as I’ll send it priority mail. This time of year I wouldn’t trust the regular mail to get it there on time.
DD had a super graduation ceremony last night. They really did a nice presentation and gave us all lots of insight into the health care field. I can’t say often enough How proud I am of my daughter for studying so hard. She received all the awards from Alpha Beta Kappa Honors Society to the perfect attendance …every award the school had to offer – she got.
DS#1 and family made it up and will head home after lunch today. We are due for a big snow storm later today and he wants to get home before it hits. They call it a ‘panhandle hook’ which is the storm we get the most snow out of. Predictions say 8 to 12 inches of snow.
Take good care all !
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

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.
GOD BLESS YOU !

TODAY’S SMILE
A heavy snowstorm closed the schools in one town. When the children returned to school a few days later, one grade school teacher asked her students whether they had used the time away from school constructively.
"I sure did, teacher," one little girl replied. "I just prayed for more snow."
TODAY’S WORD

Frangible ultimately derives from Latin frangere, "to break."
TODAY’S REFLECTION
The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life — of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1
Candles were originally used to light the Christmas tree, but there was always the danger of a house fire. After Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, people in the late 1800s began to use electric bulbs, many of which were different colors. But the lights were so expensive that only the wealthy could use them.
Then mass production brought the costs down so that they are now produced in many fascinating shapes and sizes for the pleasure of many.
If you believe that the Lord is your life and your salvation, your faith can make you the kind of joyful person who lights up lives around you.
When you have the faith to believe that, your light will shine brightly amid the darkness, both at Christmas and throughout the year.
