Robert Louis Stevenson

TODAY’S QUOTE
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake.

HAPPY THURSDAY !!
Yesterday we were blessed with a little sunshine and today.. Well today is a different story. Snow possibly mixed with rain they are saying. The weekend is predicting cold with wind and snow. I do hope the roads are going to be all right as I’m supposed to drive over for DS#6’s Birthday celebration on Saturday.
I know that if it’s bad out I’ll be staying at home. We’ll see…
There is one thing for certain and that is that we have no control over the weather.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S SMILE
Life might be less complicated for all of us if we each received our own LEGO kit at birth. Yes, I realize there is a choking hazard for children under three. But when you are old enough, you can learn a lot from LEGOs. I have learned that:
Size doesn't matter. When stepped on in the dark, a 2X2 LEGO brick causes the same amount of pain as a 2X8 brick. All LEGO men are created equal (1.5625 inches tall). What they become is limited only by imagination.
There is strength in numbers. When the bricks stick together, great things can be accomplished.
Playtime is important. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you are building, as long as you're having fun.
Disaster happens. But the pieces can be put back together again.
Every brick has a purpose. Some are made for a specific spot--most can adapt almost anywhere - but every one will fit somewhere.
Color doesn't matter. A blue brick will fit in the same space as a red brick.
No one is indispensable. If one brick is unavailable, another can take its place.
It doesn't always turn out as planned. Sometimes it turns out better. If it doesn't, you can always try again.
TODAY’S WORD
nonagenarian \non-uh-juh-NAIR-ee-uhn; no-nuh-\, noun:
A ninety year old person; someone whose age is in the nineties
Nonagenarian derives from Latin nonagenarius, "containing or consisting of ninety," from nonageni-, "ninety each", ultimately from novem, "nine," as in November, originally the ninth month of the old Roman calendar.
TODAY’S REFLECTION
The disciples went and woke Jesus, saying, 'Master, Master, we're going to drown!' He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 'Where is your faith?' he asked his disciples.
Luke 8:24-25
Stress is an enemy of a peaceful life. It can raise our blood pressure and cause negative feelings such as anger, anxiety or fear. If these continue, they can actually make us physically ill.
If you are unable to make a change that will resolve the outside stress, you need to be able to change your attitude, so that the problems do not affect you so deeply. How do you do that? I believe we can learn something from today's scripture.
The disciples were stressed out by the danger of drowning in the storm and they turned to the Master. He was able to bring calm, but he questioned their lack of faith.
Prayerful living during the good times can give you the faith to turn yourstress over to the Lord and allow him to bring calm to your soul. I have found that he is utterly dependable and will never fail us.
