God has given us
these times of Joy
Psalm 81:4
God - with just the right amount of rain,
mixed in with a sprinkle of sunshine
and his all encompassing love
nurtures the earth
and watches as it flourishes.
We need to follow God's example
and learn how to nurture
and care for ourselves.
The saying goes "you reap what you sow",
and if you follow these tips,
your life will blossom with peace,
love and happiness

A TIME TO ENJOY
GOOD MORNING !
Here we are at mid week already and after today I will have just one more day of the work week. I’ll have a nice long 3 day weekend. Friday is a vacation day and I really do need it.
I loved being withmy family last weekend, but I missed my weekend of camping. We do need to nurture ourselves and not let our work or burdens get in the way of the rest and refreshment that we all need.
Summer will soon be over and we’ll have fewer and fewer days of sunlight. I will be trying to soak up all the rays I can because winter goes on and on forever it seems.
It may be something that comes with age, but I am so affected by the lack of sunshine. I can’t remember being this way so much when I was younger. No wonder so many people retire to the southern states. That is not an option for me for sure so I’ll just have to bask in the sun while I can.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
In this day I will celebrate
as if it was my birthday and
24 hours was my gift.
I will treasure the sunrise
and save the light in my hand
for darkened days.
I will fill my lungs to capacity
with the sweet smell of life
and consume the colors that
surround me like a meal fit for a king.
I will taste the reds and yellows
of the flowers and
bathe in the blues and greens
of the sky and grass.
At the end of the day
in the darkest hours
my soul will light the way to rest
in the satisfaction of knowing
I did not waste a morsel.

May the Lord Bless YOU

Oh, Pam! I embraced the wisdom in the "Thought for Today",
and I so appreciate you finding it and passing it on. My
outlook on life has greatly improved since I have been
finding these jewels to place in my treasure chest (my
memory box). Have a good 3-day weekend! Pat
I love the sunny days too. Hope you have a wonderful weekend with your kids.
I love the sunshine also! Winter really does seem to drag on and on. I really try to get outside in the winter when it is sunny but it is sooooooo cold! Linda
