HAPPY TUESDAY !!

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DS#2

May the dear Lord bless you today and always !

Now that Monday is behind me, I guess I am back in the working mode. It was a slow start for me yesterday. My body thought it was still having weekend hours.

Today is supposed to be another sunny day for us and a little warmer too. Spring is definitely starting to show off a bit here in northern Ohio. It seems so much brighter out now with green grass and a few bushes starting to bloom.

It looks to be a pretty quiet week ahead as there is nothing on my calendar until after work on Thursday and that is when I’ll be leaving for the campground once again.

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 !

TO REMEMBER…

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

TODAY’S SMILE

While they were on a road trip, a couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant and resumed their trip. When leaving, the woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table and she didn't miss them until they had been driving about twenty minutes. By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around, in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses.

All the way back, the husband became the classic grouchy old man. He fussed and complained and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her, the more agitated he became. He just wouldn't let up one minute. To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant. As the woman got out of the car and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, her husband yelled to her, While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit card

TODAY’S REFLECTION

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits

Psalm 130:5

As the first long-fingered rays of pink reach over the horizon to nudge away the night, I begin to catch a new vision of what my life can be. And I reach for it without yet knowing its shape.

Suddenly, oranges and golds blaze forth. And there it is—the sun! A new day! The child in me jumps up and down, shouting, "Yes! Yes! I am ready for the morning!"

Watch a sunrise; it can bridge your way to a new day!
