Now even my wife is complaining about the weather.  She usually likes fall but this year, summer seemed to slip right by us and we didn’t really have a summer like we usually do.  Normally, we would take two or even three vacations though the summer but this year, I really don’t know what happened.  She’s been talking about wanting to take one of the Sharm El Sheikh Holidays that she found online.  I have to be honest, it sounds wonderful to me too.  The question I have is about the weather?

I personally would love to check out Algarve Holidays in Portugal.  I’m sure the weather there would be great since the southern hemisphere has spring when we have fall.  Besides, we have already been to Egypt but never to Portugal.  From what I have seen, it’s an absolutely beautiful place and why go somewhere you’ve already been?  Why not try something new, like maybe one of the really nice Benidorm Holidays.  We’ve never been there either.  We’ll just have to take our time and find somewhere new to take a vacation.  I just want to explore a new city or country, not one we’ve already been to, you know?

Oh my goodness!!  My friend in Colorado just told me that they got 16 inches of SNOW!!!!  That is awful if you ask me.  The up side is that it’s supposed to be in the 60′s later on in the week.  That sounds like the kind of weather to make a lot of people sick.  As if we don’t have enough to worry about with the Swine Flu, now the weather out there is trying to help it all out.  I think I need a warm vacation after hearing about all of that snow!!!!

With everything that you need for getting the kids back to school, now is the time to save.  It can be expensive to have to buy new shoes, all those supplies that they need and not to mention, the clothes they need because they out grew most of their school clothes over the summer.

Nothing helps better than finding Wal-Mart discount coupons.  They already have low prices and then add a discount and you can really save.  Another good place to go is Payless shoe stores.   I even found Payless shoes discount coupons online.   I’m going to have to start looking online more for coupons.  I didn’t realize how much we could save.

Never have I read truer words before.  What do you think?  The artwork is absolutely amazing too.

God’s Wings – A little something to put things in perspective…

After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park , forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno’s damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesque on the ground at the base of a tree.. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother’s wings.

The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast …because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.

‘He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” (Psalm 91:4)

Being loved this much should make a difference in your life. Remember the One who loves you, and then be different because of it. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.

To realize the value of a friend…lose one.
