HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Thought for the week-What brings you peace, you do that. There is no need to
be unhappy or sad. Deep down inside you may be crying and on the outside,
you are trying to show a smile. People just don’t know the hurt you feel inside.
Do what makes you happy and brings you peace inside.MISSING YOUR LOVED ONES
When thinking of your loved ones you think of the good times you had with
them, all of the things you did together. You remember the sound of their
voice, their laugh, the way they smile, how they made you feel good about
yourself. Do you remember when you were young, and your mom and dad told
you to do something and you would work and you got tired. You said, “My back
hurts.” They tell you, “You don’t have a back.” We know we did, they just wanted
us to keep working. Do you remember when it came time to go to church you
didn’t want to go but they made you go anyway. Think about all the good
times you had with your loved ones and always treasure them. Hold your loved
ones always in your heart. They came a long way and now we have to get to
that part of life that they went through. Never forget what your loved ones went
through, that is what is going to help us in life to be strong.

Get well wishes to all of the sick and shut-in. Hope all of you are well
soon and up and about enjoying all that life has to offer. You are in our
thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery.

Sympathy to all of the families who lost a loved one recently. Our heartfelt
prayers and good wishes go out to each home in your time of need. You all
have our deepest sympathy.

MISTAKES

If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them
you’ll be a better person. It’s how much you handle adversity, not how it
affects you. The main thing is never quit. You can live your life angry,
bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own
mistakes, but you won’t receive the good things God has in store. Forgive
yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.
