CHAPTER 8, PAGE 31

Don't start your day by supposin ‘

that trouble is just ahead,

It's better to stop supposin’

and start with a prayer instead.

And make it a prayer of Thanksgiving

for the wonderful things

God has wrought

Like the beautiful sunrise and sunset,

"God's gifts" that are free and not bought.

 For what is the use of supposin’

the dire things that could happen to you

And worry about some misfortune

that seldom if ever comes true

But instead of just idle supposin’

 step forward to meet each new day

Secure in the knowledge God's near you

to lead you each step of the way

For supposin’ the worst things will happen

only helps to make them come true

And you darken the bright,

happy moments that the dear Lord

has given to you

So if you desire to be happy

and get rid of the "misery of dread"

Just give up "supposin’ the worst things"

and look for "the best things" instead.

GOOD MORNING !

I received the picture of grand’babe’ # 11 when I got the back to school pics and I saved it for today because of the ‘smile’ he had on his face.  It deserved an entry all of it’s own. Babies have a way of letting you know their feelings, even though they can’t talk and I think his tells it all !

Pure and simple contentment I think!

 

Today is my last day of work then I'm off for a nice long 4 day weekend.  I've lots to do as usual and the next 4 days will be busy ones.

It has cooled down alot here and the rain finally ended.  We do have some 'chances' of rain predicted for the weekend, but hopefully not much.

Take good care all !

 

TODAY’S THOUGHT

 ... everyone who is human has something to express. Try not expressing yourself for twenty-four hours and see what happens. You will nearly burst. You will want to write a long letter, or draw a picture, or sing, or make a dress or a garden.

Brenda Ueland

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

MA

Ah, your little grandchild is a real sweetheart, nothing like babies and children for grabbing your heart.  Glad you are having a four day break.
