TODAY'S THOUGHT
A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.

TODAY’S QUOTE
Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build up their philosophy of life.

HAPPY THURSDAY !!
The good Lord must have been smiling down on us here in Northern Ohio yesterday because after we had a couple of morning downpours, the sun came out and it was another beautiful day.
They say more rain for today; I hope it turns out like Wednesday’s rain did.
I did a little shopping at lunch time yesterday and found a clock radio to take to the camper that has an IPod docking station in it. I thought it would be nice to be able to take the IPod along to the camper too. I’ve downloaded quite a few pod casts that are very good and enjoy listening to them. The clock also has an alarm on it, but I don’t think I’ll be setting the alarm when I go camping. That is one place I’ll try to ignore the time and just relax.
Tonight is my weekly Bible Study which I always look forward to. Other than that it will be work today as usual.
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.
GOD BLESS YOU!
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…RAG RUG DAY
Rag rugs were the specialty of creative pioneer women living in the frontier. Originally made out of worn out clothes, many different patterns and techniques were developed. The only requirement was that they be made from strips of cloth and hand woven. In recent years, their popularity has returned as either 3-strand braided or crocheted rugs.

THE UNIVERSAL Rx
No moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees.
Inflation proof, non-taxable
in fact it's quite reliable.
It can't be stolen, won't pollute,
one size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
but yields results enormously.
Relieves your tension and your stress,
invigorates your happiness.
Combats depression,
makes you beam and elevates your self esteem.
Your circulation it corrects without complicated side effects.
It is, I think, the perfect drug.
May I prescribe, my friend. . . . . . the hug!

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Let all the earth cry out to God with joy
Ps 65(66):8-9, 16-17, 20
God is in all things, in all places and with us in all events and circumstances in our lives. We may not be aware of God in our lives, in all times, but he is there. Nothing is an accident to God. Everything has a reason.
He is the reason we are here. God is the anecdote of our lives. From the moment we wake in the morning to the moment we sleep, and through sleep, God is there, caring, loving, directing and warning. We in turn make time for God by opening ourselves to the opportunity, to be honest, to listen, and to see and through experiences to understand.
God is always there to give us his undivided attention, to listen and to comfort. Let us not fear God but embrace him. God is love unconditional.
