Next week is the drop-off week for shoeboxes. FBC, Kentwood is a collection site. Please see me Sunday if you are able to help us.

Two quotes I found this morning:

Give without remembering.

Receive without forgetting.

and

Birds start each new day with a song.

Thankfulness – Day 12

Today, I am thankful for OPPORTUNITIES I have had, have, and will have. Many have helped me grow. Some have taught me lessons I needed, and some were beneficial to others. Opportunities all lead to choices. Hopefully, good choices. The path of life looks like a gameboard. There are places in life that tell us to pick up a card, read it, and choose our next move. That becomes our future.

Have a blessed day. Be a blessing to others.
