W
hen the storms of lifeGather darkly ahead,
I think of these wonderful words
I once read.
And I say to myself
As threatening clouds hover,
Don't fold up your wings
And run for cover.
But like the eagle,
Spread wide your wings
And soar far above
The troubles life brings.
For the eagle knows
That the higher he flies,
The more tranquil and brighter
Become the skies.
And there is nothing in life
God ever asks us to bear
That we can't soar above
On the wings of prayer.
And in looking back over
The storm you passed through,
You'll find you gained strength
And new courage, too.
For in facing life's storms
With an eagle's wings,
You can fly far above
Earth's small, petty things.

Good Morning !
I’ll start by telling you today that I’m thankful for a nice efficient and courteous furnace repairman that came to my house yesterday after work. We all have those days when little surprises happen.
Yesterday was the day my furnace decided to quit working. Surprise ! I was amazed at how fast the repairman came and also that he just happened to have the needed part in his truck. Thank the good Lord for his many blessings.
Let’s see now…I got a new washer, my car has been serviced , and now so has the furnace…that’s 3 things for sure. My grandma always used to say that bad things come in 3’s. I’ll be praying that that is it for a long while. I think my savings is just about depleted and there will need to be some ‘time out’ here in order to replenish it.
When I think about the Storms of Life, this is a very trivial thing. Lots worse could happen so I’ll just be very thankful it was only the furnace having trouble.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we would all be millionaires.

I just had to buy a new furnace.....about a month ago. It finally gave way. Well, it was there from 1954. That's when they tell me my house was built. I'm here 32 years. I figured it was going. Last year, it went out so many times, even once during a blizzard. I feel kind of relieved. I'm hoping the new one holds up well.
Wishing God gives you some prosperity along with good health, of course.

Reckon your luck will turn around now - I've always believed everything comes in threes. Hope your day is filled with sunshine and laughter. Take care.
