HAPPY TUESDAY !!

And HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to DS#5 and his wife today !

 May the dear Lord bless you both today and always.

Another morning has come, another good cup of coffee and another work day. I have to count my blessings as more and more I realize how fortunate I am that I can still do these things. Many people can’t or won’t or are not able to.

Ordinary days can sometimes bog us down, but even though I’d rather be camping, I have to appreciate the gifts I’ve been given; not just on weekends, but everyday of my life.

It will be another hot day here in Ohio. It’s sort of hard to get used to as we’ve had so many cool days so far this summer. I finally did take the flannels off my bed so I hope it is staying warm now for awhile.

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…ZIEGFIELD FOLLIES DAY

Florenz Ziegfeld was one of America greatest theatrical producers. From 1907 until his death in 1932, his Ziegfeld Follies were a highlight of New York entertainment. Famous for elaborate staging, he hired big stars like Fannie Brice, Eddie Cantor, Will Rogers and W.C. Fields. But, his trademark was the beautiful chorus line. Just as girls later dreamed of being a Rockette, girls of his day dreamed of being a Ziegfeld girl!

TODAY’S SMILE

A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small New England town where Paul Newman and his family often visited. One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk. After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to treat herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream cone.

She hopped in the car, drove to the center of the village and went straight to the combination bakery/ice cream parlor. There was only one other patron in the store: Paul Newman, sitting at the counter having a doughnut and coffee.

The woman's heart skipped a beat as her eyes made contact with those famous baby-blue eyes. The actor nodded graciously and the star-struck woman smiled demurely. Pull yourself together, she chides herself. You're a happily married woman with three children; you're forty-five years old, not a teenager!

The clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip chocolate ice cream cone in one hand and her change in the other. Then she went out the door, avoiding even a glance in Paul Newman's direction. When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of change - but her other hand was empty.

Where's my ice cream cone? Did I leave it in the store? Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the cone still in the clerk's hand or in a holder on the counter or something. But no ice cream cone was in sight.

With that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman. His face broke into his familiar warm, friendly grin and he said to the woman, "You put it in your purse."

TODAY’S REFLECTION

We live by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7

 Our abilities are limited when we try to deal with problems, but because we can see a little bit, we strive to find our own way. But God, all-seeing and all-powerful, knows the way.

God longs to take us by the hand and to lead us gently through difficult times. God sees the road ahead and longs to lead us as we travel it http://www.upperroom.org

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 !!!
