Praise God

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Asking Your Blessings

Lord, today we ask your blessing on all those who are clearing the roads and keeping power and other utilities working. Heal the broken arms of Mary and Karen. Watch over Melva's sister, Conchi and her family at this time. Bring an end to this winter storm and restore order to air transportation so Melva's flight to Panama can leave at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Number Our Days

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:12) (Rick Engram, Pace Yourself, 27 January)
