TODAY’S QUOTE
A compliment is verbal sunshine.

HAPPY THURSDAY !!
I always feel better after I get Wednesday out of the way. Now there is only one more day of work til the weekend! Tonight is my Bible study and as much as I enjoy it I’m not looking forward to going out in the cold again after I get home from work, but I will.
Our weather for this evening says: Additional snow accumulation less than an inch. Lows around 7 above. Looking ahead at the long range forecast we may see some warmer temps and some sun this weekend. That will be a welcome relief. The days are getting longer and as the weeks go by we’ll be warming up for sure.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS

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 church choir was putting on a car wash to raise money for a special trip. They made a large sign that read: CAR WASH FOR CHOIR TRIP. On the scheduled Saturday, business was very good. But, by two o'clock the sky clouded, the rain poured, and there were hardly any customers.
Finally, one of the singers had an idea. She printed a very large poster with the words: WE WASH. GOD RINSES (Next to the words was an arrow pointing skyward.)
Business boomed!

TODAY’S REFLECTION
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1
When trouble strikes, what you want is comfort and protection. You want strength to stand up to it and meet it. You can have both. This text contains the answer. Frequently remind yourself that God is with you, that He will never fail you, that you can count upon Him.
Say these words, “God is with me, helping me.” This will give you a sense of comfort. New hope will flood your mind. New ideas will come.
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
