TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO
When a man was married 25 years, he took a look at his wife one day and said, "Honey, 25 years ago we had a cheap rented house and a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed, and watched a 19-inch black-and-white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year-old blond."Now we have an $800,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice bed, and a plasma screen TV, but now I'm sleeping with a 50-year-old woman. It seems to me that you are not holding up your side of things." His wife, being a very reasonable woman, told him to go out and find a hot 25-year-old blond and she would make sure that he would once again be living in a cheap rented house, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed, and watching a 19-inch black-and-white TV, if he was lucky. ; )

Today might be Tuesday, but it surely feels like a MONDAY! We (Barb and I) both got called in early this morning, two of the other ladies decided not to work today. So at 7:00 I got a phone call to be there at 8:00.. And boy were we BUSY! This crazy weather doesn't help my arthritis any either, so even my bones are tired! But, we are both thankful for the work.. and still looking forward to 'full time with benefits' (please and thank You Lord!) I guess the best part about today though is that it really is Tuesday, and tomorrow is really Wednesday (and mid-week church) you always feel better after going, for sure! And other than supper, dishes, and some laundry, I plan on taking it easy the rest of the evening. THANKS GOD

OH, AND I WAS GOING TO MARK THIS ON MY CALENDAR...
TODAY WAS ONE OF THE FEW TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD I DID A GOOD JOB AT WORK!
and NO, I AM NOT A LOUSY WORKER, OR A LAZY WORKER, just my boss is one of those that seems slow to praise, and quick to criticize. (you know a lot of people are like that! and I know that, but it's nice now and then to actually hear that they are pleased with something you've done.) AGREE? Makes you feel pretty good for a change, doesn't it?
====================
Dear Lord,
Every evening As I'm lying here in bed,This tiny little prayer Keeps running through my head
God bless my mom and family. And bless my home and job. And look out for my Mom and sister
Cuz things aren't looking up
And God, there's one more thing I wish that you could do Hope you don't mind me asking
But please bless my computer too?
Now I know that's not normal To bless a mother board But just listen a second
While I explain to you 'My Lord'
You see, that little metal box Holds more to me than odds & ends Inside those small compartments Rest all of my 'BEST ONLINE FRIENDS'
I know for sure they like me By the kindness that they give And this little scrap of metal
Is how I travel to where they live
By faith is how I know them, And I tell them about You
I share in what life brings us And the blessings You bestow
Please take an extra minute From your duties up above To bless this scrap of metal
That's filled with so much love!

I Love you Lord Lyrics:
I love you, Lord And I lift my voice
To worship You Oh, my soul rejoice!
Take joy my King
In what You hear
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear
================
Dear God, thank You for Your SON, Your grace, love, blessing, guidance, and mercies. Thank You for forgiving and saving us. Thank You for my husband, our family, our extended families, our church families, our friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Bless each of us please, SPIRITUALLY, physically, emotionally, mentally, financially, and with inner peace and safety. Forgive us please Father our daily sins, and help us to be forgiving and loving towards others, help us please to live pleasingly to You, and in Your will and favor. Father, bless our country, and guide it's leaders back to You and putting Your first. Bless our soldiers and their families. Protect them and grant them and their families with inner peace and comfort. Lay Your healing hand upon my Mom, and my sister Carole, and Bro John's daughter, and bless and heal them, grant them comfort please and thank You. Father, we thank You for everything, in Jesus Holy name, and we give You our love, thanks, honor, praise and glory, amen.
