“Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.”
Ephesians 5:15-16
Here it is August already! Where has the time gone? May all of your plans be accomplished, and you have a great time with your family and friends.
I was talking to a friend of mine a while ago gave me the following poem. It was attached to a figurine of an owl that was purchased at a county fair that he attended recently. It seemed very appropriate in these times.
There once was an owl Who perched on an oak; The more he observed The less that he spoke. The less he spoke The more that he heard; There’s wisdom for sure We can learn from this bird! As you go through life Remember you know What you know; When you listen and watch You’ll continue to grow
Until the next time, I am continuing to pray for good health for you and yours, and remember, “Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.”
Don’t forget to thank a Veteran for his/her service in the defense of our country and pray for their safe return to their families!
Benediction: “Gracious Father of us all help us to spend less time thinking of ourselves, and more time thinking of You and Your many wonders. Amen.”
Thought for the month:
May good luck be your friend in whatever you do and may trouble be always a stranger to you.
