This Is The Day

All finished in Red Bay!  We left early yesterday to head back to our home base in Texas.  We enjoyed the

beautiful fall leaves as we traveled along the Natchez Trace.

We arrived in Shreveport around 4:00 and parked the motor home, unhooked the Jeep and went as planned to meet up with Joe, Sherri, Mike, Leslie, Don, and Cheryl.  What a great visit we had, just not long enough, but we will look forward to the next time we can get together.

We were up early this morning for the drive on to Fort Worth.  As we got on the road, I got out my computer.  One of the first things I do every morning is read a daily devotional that comes through my email.

I would like to share the one for today with you…

Jesus said, "Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes" (Matthew 6:34 MSG).

Don't procrastinate - DO IT NOW!--"Never boast about tomorrow. You don't know what will happen between now and then" (Proverbs 27:1 TEV).

And, remember….This is the day God has made!
