JUST FOR TODAY

As I go through some "troubles" in my own life, I've worked out this "formula" to help me be a useful and happy person. See if it doesn't work for you!

JUST FOR TODAY: I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my whole life problem at once.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will assume to be true what Abraham Lincoln said: "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be".

JUST FOR TODAY: I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will read something that requires effort, thought, and concentration.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn, and not get found out. I will do at least two things I don't want to do just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, not find fault with anything, and not try to improve or regulate anybody but myself.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have lt. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will have a quiet half hour all by myself. During this half hour, I will try and get a better perspective of my life.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give back to me.

Thanks Ma!

Howdy, Kathy.

Obviously no sun time on the deck for you today. Much-needed rain, and it’s coming down at a pretty good clip at Lake Hood at the moment. I hope it’s doing the same at your house.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Any let up of the heat?

It’s been raining here, gently, since last evening, and I have just over a half inch now. HURRAH!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Were you and Blue able to get out today?

It’s been raining here all night and all day. I didn’t have to water the lawns, and we really have been needing it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, JJ..((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Are you surviving the heat?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...Shavua Tov and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Did you drive the parachute plane today? How many jumpers are there usually?

Lower Deck People

Bible in a Year:

• Psalms 51–53
• Romans 2

Those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable.

1 Corinthians 12:22 A friend of mine works on a hospital ship called Africa Mercy, which takes free healthcare to developing countries. The staff daily serve hundreds of patients whose ailments would otherwise go untreated.

TV crews who periodically board the ship, point their cameras on its amazing medical staff, who fix cleft palates and reset club feet. Sometimes they go below deck to interview other crew members, but the work Mick does typically goes unnoticed.

Mick, an engineer, admits being surprised about where he’d been assigned to work—in the ship’s sewage plant. With up to forty thousand liters of waste produced each day, managing this toxic material is serious business. Without Mick tending its pipes and pumps, Africa Mercy’s life-giving operations would stop.

It’s easy to applaud those on the “top deck” of Christian ministry while overlooking those in the galleys below. When the Corinthians elevated those with extraordinary gifts above others, Paul reminded them that every believer has a role in Christ’s work (1 Corinthians 12:7–20), and every gift is important, whether it’s miraculous healing or helping others (vv. 27–31). In fact, the less prominent the role, the greater honor it deserves (vv. 22–24).

Are you a “lower deck” person? Then lift your head high. Your work is honored by God and indispensable to us all.

Reflect & Pray

What happens when you compare your gifts with others? Which “lower deck” person can you affirm the efforts of today?

I’m important to You, God. Thank You for noticing me whether others do or not.

Are you surviving the heat?

Just barely. ((HUGZ)) back.

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.

Helped my sis out with a beach Hig. She was supposed to be outdoors, but I did not like the look of the sky. So we began to set up indoors, and suddenly the heavens opened with a MONSOON.

Our decision was a wise one.

Beach GIG.

Not “Hig” LOL.

The letters have all worn off my keyboard.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

And a blessed Ninth Sunday after Pentecost (Western)/Eighth Sunday after Pentecost (Orthodox).

Hope your summer weather is playing nice.

We are getting rain..a little over a half inch so far. All soaking in nicely.

[Kathy in Alaska]

GOOD CALL!!
