Always smile back at little children!!!

Great morning to all, it is already steamy hot out this morning, yesterday we hit 100 and it looks as if today will be much the same. Thanking God for this little thing we call air conditioning in our window! LOL...I pray your morning is off to a good start and that the day just keeps on getting better and better. I posted a quote on facebook yesterday and I hope you will honor the saying today...

there is so much bad in our world, let us not take the belief of goodness from the children, if they smile at you....smile back,..one step better if they don't smile at you...why not you smile and teach them that there are nice people in this world. Take time to realize that smiles teach a huge lesson.

In prayer this morning I prayed my normal usual prayer... asking God to bless each of you with your needs and to allow you to feel his love in abundance in all situations of your life. 

Join me if you will so that our prayers might make a difference for all who are in need today...

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day.  

I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning.  

I'm blessed because You are a forgiving and understanding God.  

You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.  

Forgive me this day for I have sinned. 

I ask now for Your forgiveness.  

Keep me safe from all danger and harm.

Let me start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. 

Let me make the best of each and every day 

and give my best in all that is put before me.  

Clear my mind that I can hear from You.  

Broaden my mind that I can accept all things.  

Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.  

Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes

and acknowledge it as evil.  

And when I sin, let me repent, and confess my wrong doing,

and receive the forgiveness of God.  

And when this world closes in on me, 

let me remember Jesus' example --- 

to slip away and find a quiet place to pray.  

It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.  

I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart.

Continue to use me to do your Will. 

Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.

Keep me strong that I may help the weak.

Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.

I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way.

I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.

I pray for those who refuse to share a word from You.

I pray for those that will read this and not use this in their lives.

I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with others.

I pray for those that don't believe.  But I believe.

I believe that God changes people and God changes things.

I pray for all my sisters and brothers.

This is my prayer; I pray in Jesus' name.

Amen.
