The good times we put in our pocket. The hard times we put into our heart.

HAPPY THURSDAY !!
It’s another New Day to rise and shine ! I’ll be trying to make my own SUNSHINE for sure today! A warm up is supposed to head our way maybe the beginning of next week, but today will bring more cold and snow.
After work I’m stopping in at the car dealership as it seems my windshield washers have decided not to work right. We’ll see what the problem is and hopefully they can fix it right up for me.
As I’ll be heading down to the Stroll for Epilepsy on Saturday morning, I don’t want to take a chance that they won’t work right. The interstate can be tricky enough without being able to see where you are going.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.
Ephesians 4:26-27
One of the greatest dangers to a joyful life is allowing a passing emotion to become a fixture in your mind. It is difficult not to become angry when someone does something to you that is unfair. But when you allow that anger to fester over a period of time, it can become harmful.
It is the same way with envy, anxiety or fear. Most everyone experiences moments when these emotions pass through the mind, but it is our choice whether or not we allow them to remain there. One of the most important, yet most difficult of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) is self-control.
Prayerful living keeps us close to the Lord and if we ask, he will help us control our emotions, so that we do not allow the emotions to control us. Look to the Lord for help in controlling your emotions. Before going to bed, go to him in prayer and he will melt the hate, envy, anxiety or fear in your heart, allowing you to rest easily
