Samuel Smiles

TODAY’S QUOTE
This is written on the base of the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor T
HE NEW COLOSSUS
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning,
and her name Mother of Exiles.
From her beacon-hand
Glows world wide welcome;
her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp! cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift up my lamp beside the golden door!
HAPPY WENESDAY !!
OVER THE HUMP DAY!
I’ll make it over the hump and right into my long weekend come the end of this work day.
We may have a chance of showers Thursday and Friday so I’ll be praying that someone that needs the rain gets it and not us.
I’ll be away at the camper celebrating with my family and taking lots of pictures to share.
I’ll be back come Monday morning with the newsletter
Happy 4th of July
And I do hope your holiday weekend is a wonderful one.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

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…VIOLIN LOVERS DAY
The violin can be traced back to the 9th century in Europe, with its origin probably in Asia. It took at least 450 years to develop, but is a great example of the artistry learned over the centuries by people making stringed instruments. Today, violins are made of wood with steel strings and have a range of at least 3 octaves. They have to withstand the strong downward force of the strings on the bridge - which is about 17lbs (7.7kgs) of pressure

TODAY’S REFLECTION
The water Igive will become a spring of water gushing inside…giving eternal life.
John 4:13
Deprive your body of necessary fluid, and your body will tell you. Deprive your soul of spiritual water, and you soul will tell you. Dehydrated hearts send desperate messages.
Snarling tempers. Waves of worry. Growling mastodons of guilt and fear.
You think God wants you to live with these?
Hopelessness. Sleeplessness. Loneliness. Resentment. Irritability. Insecurity.
These are warnings. Symptoms of dryness deep within. Treat your soul as you treat your thirst. Take a gulp.
Imbibe moisture. Flood your heart with a good swallow of water. Where do you find water for the soul?
If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink

82 DAYS UNTIL FALL !
