TODAY'S THOUGHT
To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition.
Samuel Johnson
TODAY’S ACTION
Be content with what you have.
TODAY’S QUOTE
Oh, my friend, it's not what they take away from you that counts. It's what you do with what you have left.
Hubert Humphrey
HAPPY THURSDAY !!
This will be a long day for me as I have a hair cut after work and then a little later I have the Thursday Evening Bible Study at church. I didn’t realize that I had 2 things in one evening and schedule the hair cut without thinking.
It will all work out and if I’m lucky I’ll even have time in between to eat a little supper.
Work is a little better this week as I think I’m all caught up right now. I do have reports that have to be sent out, but they are due the 15th and the 31st so I have a little time.
The one on the 15th is done on line, so I don’t even have to give extra days to allow for the mail. More and more of our work is done on line. Many customers like to do business that way. It’s ok by me too !
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS
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
TO REMEMBER…
I am in the hands of God, and in God’s time all things will be made well.
TODAY IS…MAKE ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE DAY

TODAY’S SMILE
ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE I LEARNED FROM EATING CHOCOLATE
Some people are semi-sweet; others are just plain nutty.
Don't cry over spilled milk - unless, of course, it's chocolate milk.
Blind dates are like chocolate - they are usually chunky and they quickly disappear.
When life presents you a rocky road, just eat your way out of it.
Keep your fingers off other people's bonbons.
Flowers and champagne may set the stage, but it's chocolate that steals the show.
An ounce of truffles is worth a pound of anything.
Milk Chocolate. . . for all it's worth.
You never really know a person till you've shared a box of chocolates with them.
A kiss is just a kiss, but a chocolate kiss is bliss.
The best things in life are not fat free.
When all else fails, fudge it!
TODAY’S WORD
pertinacious \puhr-tin-AY-shuhs\, adjective:
1. Holding or adhering obstinately to any opinion, purpose, or design.
2. Stubbornly or perversely persistent.
Pertinacious is from Latin pertinax, "having a firm hold, obstinate," from per-, "thoroughly" + tenax, "holding fast, tenacious," from tenere, "to hold
TODAY’S REFLECTION
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
II Corinthians 4:16
Burnout can keep you from having the abundant life God wants for you. One cause of burnout is overwork. If you are a workaholic, you tend to be on the job 24 hours a day. Even though you're away from work, your mind is still on it. Eventually this can cause exhaustion and burnout.
Another cause is working at a job that brings out negative feelings If your work involves relationships with people having negative emotions, find time to be with friends who are upbeat. If you don't like your job, look for ways to qualify for one you would enjoy.
If you are working too hard, find something pleasant that you like to do and take some time off from what you are doing and have some fun. Some of us have forgotten how to do that.
If you truly trust God, you can spend time with him and he will renew your spirit each day, so that you can once again look forward to each day with joy.
TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
The finger of God never leaves identical fingerprints
70 DAYS UNTIL SPRING !
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
May there be a miracle in YOUR life today
and may you have the EYES to SEE it!
I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!
