HAPPY FRIDAY !!
Our promised colder air is on the way…by tonight we’ll be feeling an artic blast for sure. Tomorrow the full force will hit. Watching the news last evening they said that in Fargo, North Dakota they had 5 degrees and it was coming our way.
I heard from our ‘Sunshine Babes’ on Thursday and they even had snow. Hopefully I’ll have a picture of them soon. This is a rare thing for them, but every once in a while they do get it.l
I will be putting on the layers and keeping warm for sure.
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

TO REMEMBER…
I am in the hands of God, and in God’s time all things will be made well.

TODAY’S TRIVIA
Today is Pooh Day, marking the birth of writer A.A. Milne on this date in 1882. He created Winnie the Pooh
Today is UFO Day, marking the first reported sighting of a UFO in America by Pilgrims in Boston. The year was 1644.
In 1778, on this day, Captain James Cook, of the British Navy, thought he was the first to find a group of islands in the Pacific. He named them the Sandwich Islands in honor of England’s Earl of Sandwich, the first lord of the British Admiralty. Little did he know that the islands already had a name. The people who lived on them called the islands Hawaii (known to us now as the 50th of the United States)

TODAY’S SMILE
A sea captain and his chief engineer were arguing over who was most important to the ship. To prove their point to each other, they decided to swap places.
The chief engineer ascended to the bridge, and the captain went to the engine room. Several hours later, the captain suddenly appeared on deck covered with oil and dirt. "Chief!" he yelled, waving aloft a monkey wrench. "You have to get down there: I can't make her go!" "Of course you can't," replied the chief. "She's aground!"
On a team we don't excel each other; we depend on each other.
ANOTHER SHORT ONE…
The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
Dave Barry
THE LAST ONE FOR TODAY...
PUT versus PUTT
A woman was taking her first golf lesson. "Is the word spelled 'put' or 'putt'?" she asked the instructor. "'Putt' is correct," he replied. "
'Put' means to place a thing where you want it.
'Putt' means a vain attempt to do the same thing."
TODAY’S WORD
hyperbole \hy-PUHR-buh-lee\, noun:
Extravagant exaggeration.
Hyperbole comes from Greek hyperbole, "excess," from hyperballein, "to exceed," from hyper, "beyond" + ballein, "to throw."
TODAY’S REFLECTION
We have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function.
Romans 12:4
As we observe the animals and people around us, we’re reminded that God made each of us unique for a purpose. One person’s natural tendency is to look up and see the “big picture,” while another looks down and focuses on details. Both are important.
One is not better than the other. God gave us individual talents and spiritual gifts so that we can work together as a body.
Human beings are the crowning jewel of creation, and we shine the brightest not when we see our own likeness reflected in others but when each of us performs the unique functions that God designed for us to do.
“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them” (Rom. 12:6).
TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
He that goes a-borrowing, goes a-sorrowing.
Benjamin Franklin
62 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 !!!
