Frugality
is one of the most beautiful and joyful words in the English language, and yet one that we are culturally cut off from understanding and enjoying.The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things.

Good Morning !
Life can and does seem very unfair at times, but we need to realize it is not the possession of riches or the accomplishment of great things which make a great life, but the enjoyment of what God has given to you.
It is not the number of years but how much a person can objectively see God’s good hand in his life.
As I’m off to celebrate with part of my family today, I’m reminded about how very rich I am. Not in dollars, but in love and family and friends.
Today there will only be DS#5 and his wife and I traveling over to the party at DS#3’s house. The rest of my family is either already otherwise occupied for the day or too far away to come. I’ll miss not having them all together. It seems these important times in our live should be celebrated to fullest.
We’ll be joining DS#3 and his family at their church today and then back to their home. I will , as always, be saying a little prayer for all of you.
Thought for Today
The best things in life are nearest:
Breath in your nostrils,
light in your eyes,
flowers at your feet,
duties at your hand,
the path of right just before you.
Then do not grasp at the stars,
but do life’s plain, common work as it comes,
certain that daily duties and
daily bread are the sweetest things in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !
