July 14

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

MY BIRTHDAY MESSAGE:

I'm 78 years old today, so what have I learned in 78 years?

I've learned: Like my dear husband, I have four great loves.

My God-my family-my friends-my country.

I've learned: The more I learn, the less I know and that I don't

have all the answers, but I serve a God who does.

I've learned: That things are less important than people.

Today I will attend the grave-side service of a family friend,

a contemporary of my parents. Irene was 95 and one of the

last of that generation. As you grow older, you attend more

of these services and realize how important the people in

your life really are.

I've learned: If I make plans for the day and there are unexpected

interruptions, it's not the end of the world. There is always tomorrow

and if not, it won't matter!

I learned: That I'm still learning, still making mistakes-still having

fears and still depending on God's Grace, as a toddler depends on

his/her parents.

I've learned: To be thankful for everything and everyone who comes

into my life, and I'm certainly thankful for each of you. You have

helped to make my life richer!

SCRIPTURE:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own

understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda
