Today is a Special Day

President Donald Trump has proclaimed Memorial Day, May 28th, 2018,
as a Day for Prayer for Permanent Peace. He called on all Americans,
saying, “On this day, let us also unite in prayer for lasting peace
in our troubled world so that future generations will enjoy the blessings
of liberty and independence.”
Both Congress and the president recognize
the day of prayer to honor and
“to remember the selfless service members
who have been laid to rest in flag-draped coffins
and their families who have suffered
the greatest loss.”
-- from The Daily Prayer Briefing of the Presidential Prayer Team.

TODAY, May 19

Today is National Armed Forces Day, so our flag is flying out there;

We smile at these brave people, and every day we mention them in prayer.

       Ideas come to mind, so we don’t just recite some formal kind of word,

       and we’re thankful to know all of this the LORD has seen and has heard.

Our verbal and heart-felt communication is not just “let’s pretend.”

Hopefully, you too have found God's peace when your honest prayer you “send.”

Mother’s Day — Remember Growing Up?

        Later — when you have some spare time today ! — here's an idea, a suggestion for you.
      Jot down some things you remember about your mother, when you were growing up.  
      This has several benefits.  You will sort through old memories to find some important ones that mean a lot to you.
       Maybe there’s something from that you’d want to share with relatives, friends, etc. 
       And — the biggie — it gives you something to pray about as you consider how things are going these days.

A Problem is an Opportunity

Today will bring some problem . . . 
and a problem is an opportunity
an opportunity to pray,
an opportunity to trust God,
an opportunity to learn,
an opportunity to respond,
an opportunity to share faith lessons 
by your example and
by your words. 

Keep your eyes open.  Be ready.
Watch for that problem today.
