Lucky for me I know a witch ( a real princess dressed up) and a real black cat, Trooper. Now, if I could just find those eyes of knute the spell would be complete !

Happy Birthday to Diana Schumm !!!! A college friend of mine and a Halloween Scorpio to boot.

We have shared birthday greets to each other for 35 years. We went to college right out of the sixth grade ! And that's my story and I am sticking to it. Ghouls just wanna have fun !

I watch my favorite movie "Something Wicked This Way Comes" in honor of the holiday. For the record, I gave out boxes of raisins to the trick-or-treaters.

Best witches to all and to all a good night.

In celebration of LIFE lived in GOD'S WILL I offer this reminder of our human purpose.

Bring Out the Best
By Joel Osteen
Today's Scripture to Read>>
"Love is kind" (I Corinthians 13:4)

One translation of this simple verse says that, "Love looks for a way to be constructive." In other words, love looks for ways to improve someone else's life. Love brings out the best in other people. Don't just get up in the morning thinking about yourself or how you can make your own life better. Think about how you can make someone else's life better. Ask yourself, "Who can I encourage today?" "Who can I build up?" You have something to offer those around you that no one else can give. Someone in your life needs your encouragement. Someone in your life needs to know that you believe in them. I believe God will hold us responsible for the people He's put in our lives. He's counting on us to bring out the best in our family and friends. Are you improving the lives of those around you? Are you giving them confidence? Ask the Lord to give you creative ways to encourage those around you. As you sow seeds of encouragement and bring out the best in others, God will send people along your path that will build you up so that you can move forward into the blessing He has in store for you.
A Prayer for Today >>>
Father God, thank You for loving me. Thank You for believing in me and always building me up. I ask that You show me creative ways to encourage and build up the people around me. Help me be an example Your love today and always.
In Jesus' Name.
Amen.

I will keep this in mind as I go now to visit my 84 year-old Mother; I will look for creative ways to encourage her and her caregivers. Enjoy this beautiful sunny day !
