One day at a time, with its failures and fears,
With its hurts and mistakes, with its weakness and tears,
With its portion of pain and its burden of care;
One day at a time we must meet and must bear.
One day at a time to be patient and strong,
To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong;
Then its toiling shall pass and its sorrow shall cease;
It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace.
One day at a time - but the day is so long,
And the heart is not brave, and the soul is not strong,
0 Thou pitiful Christ, be Thou near all the way;
Give courage and patience and strength for the day.
Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet;
"Yea, I will be with thee, thy troubles to meet;
I will not forget thee, nor fail thee, nor grieve;
I will not forsake thee; I never will leave."
Not yesterday's load we are called on to bear,
Nor the morrow's uncertain and shadowy care;
Why should we look forward or back with dismay?
Our needs, as our mercies, are but for the day.
One day at a time, and the day is His day;
He hath numbered its hours, though they haste or delay.
His grace is sufficient; we walk not alone;
As the day, so the strength that He giveth His own.
With its hurts and mistakes, with its weakness and tears,
With its portion of pain and its burden of care;
One day at a time we must meet and must bear.
One day at a time to be patient and strong,
To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong;
Then its toiling shall pass and its sorrow shall cease;
It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace.
One day at a time - but the day is so long,
And the heart is not brave, and the soul is not strong,

=======================================
Today for lunch, I fixed mini steak subs.. (like half the size of this one) But with all the works (sliced tomatoes, thin sliced onions, lettuce, thin sliced green peppers and fiesta blend cheese).. Baked potato slices (thick) with cheese and bacon bits.. a tossed salad, and a variety of pickles.
No one even bothered to eat dessert.. "to full" ... but I made banana nut muffins...
Guess they were all to full and had to many other things on their minds.. Abigail wants a hair cut (tapered), and then they still had little short list of wants for school.. Ah, the excitement of the kids! Must be nice!!!
We start back tomorrow also.. but tomorrow is just to get everything set up, put away, and in place for an early start on Tuesday (the real first day of school)
I got out the paper work from the recent meeting.. Some of our paper work and other task will change some this year. We may have questions at first, but just like last year, we'll soon get the hang of it! So, we'll take care of things and questions as they come up!
Our hours are changing a little this year also.. but I think I will be very pleased with mine.. thankfully!
Many times, there are different paths you can choose that will lead you in different directions.. Some good, some bad.. and some so deceptive that you start out "thinking" you will end up in one place... but you end up in a totally different place.. a lot of the times, not for the better.. Guess the best thing to do is to ALWAYS ask for HIS advice and guidance, before we make a choice.
one of the wonderful things is about the path you choose is the family and friends that are there with you.. And always a MUST and a PLUS that it is in the Will that HE has for our lives.
===========================
PRAYING FOR US ALL TO HAVE A PATH OF LOVE, INNER PEACE, HEALTH, AND HAPPINESS! ASKING THAT YOU WILL KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS TOO.. MATTHEW 18: 19-20
=========================
Praying for you and yours today and daily and for your prayer list and unspoken prayer list, and asking that you'll keep us in your prayers as well. Praying always for our family, extended families, friends, neighbors, and co-workers, that God will wrap HIS loving arms around each of us and bless us SPIRITUALLY, PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, FINANCIALLY, AND WITH HIS LOVE, GRACE, MERCIES, INNER PEACE, AND GUIDANCE. Praying for everyone with cancer, and all the little ones with E.B. and all other diseases. Please Father, be with them, touch and heal them and grant them ease of pain, comfort and inner peace to them as well as to their families. Praying especially for Jake as he continues his battle with cancer.. and Evan as he continues his battle with E.B. and their families. Praying for Jenna that she gets her health issue completely behind her and a total healing, and her "unspoken prayers" (remember what I told you Jenna?) Praying for everyone that has lost loved ones, and the many lately that have lost their little ones.. God please bless and comfort each of them. Praying for our country that God will get the leaders to come to Him and to finally work together for the good of the country and it's people. Praying too for our soldiers and service people, first for their safety and protection, their comfort and Your guidance in their lives, and for inner peace for them and their families. Today, and always we give You God, our love, thanks, honor, praise and glory in Jesus Holy name, amen.
PLEASE KEEP THE CHILDREN, TEACHERS, CAFETERIA LADIES, AND EVERYONE INVOLVED IN YOUR PRAYERS AS WE START ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR. PLEASE PRAY THAT THE CHILDREN ARE SAFE, HEALTHY, HAPPY, AND RESPECTFUL! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS, THEY ARE APPRECIATED!
