Isaiah 58:9 "Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer, you shall cry, and he will say. Here I am." He is there for you, for the good and bad in your life, when you are alone or in a crowd - He is with you. We need a better understanding of prayer and how God responds. One of the best things to remember is God is there whether what you need happens or not. He is there to comfort you if the health report is not what you want to hear. He comforts us through the bad times and reminds us that we have a life with Him regardless of what happens. Faith is what gives you that certainty. "and He will say - here I am."
Get Fit
I tried a little (very little) workout with the tension straps. I hate the weak feeling of being ill, when you think you would like to take a shower and just can't muster the energy to get it done. It is the worse thing for those with chronic illness to be alone, no family or friend to care for them. Give thanks this week to the care givers who take care of the people we love when we can't be there.
On this day
1982 Andy and Alice and Ty and Norma were living with me. My home was a breeding ground for couples and happy endings. Andy and Alice got married in 1984 and Ty and Norma married in 1985. It worked for everyone but me. I was still going out to lunch with my old boyfriend Pete and then hitting the bars at night. Andy had been up north hunting and came back on this day, but hadn't got a deer so he and Alice went back up to St Helen on the weekend. That was a perfect life that Alice fell into - she loved being the deer camp cook. Nice memory.
1794 - Britain's King George III signed the Jay Treaty. It resolved the issues left over from the Revolutionary War.
On November 19, 1794 representatives of the United States and Great Britain signed Jay’s Treaty, which sought to settle outstanding issues between the two countries that had been left unresolved since American independence. The treaty proved unpopular with the American public but did accomplish the goal of maintaining peace between the two nations and preserving U.S. neutrality.

Effects of World Wars[edit]
The First World War had a powerful and lasting effect on the society. From a population of about a quarter of a million, 5,482 men went overseas. Nearly 1,500 were killed and 2,300 wounded. On July 1, 1916, at Beaumont-Hamel, France, 753 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment went over the top of a trench. The next morning, only 68 men answered the roll-call. Even now, when the rest of Canada celebrates the founding of the country on July 1, many Newfoundlanders take part in solemn ceremonies of remembrance.
The Second World War also had a lasting effect on Newfoundland. In particular, the United States assigned forces to the military bases at Argentia, Gander, Stephenville, Goose Bay and St. John's.
Newfoundland and Labrador is the youngest province in Canada. Newfoundland was organised as a colony in 1825, was self-governing from 1855–1934, and held dominion status from 1907–1949 (see Dominion of Newfoundland). In June 22nd and July 3rd 1948, the population of the colony voted 52.3% to 47.7%[20] in favour of joining Canada as a province. Opposition was concentrated among residents of the capital St. John's, and on the Avalon Peninsula.
Very often the cost of war is measured by how many soldiers return. Thank a vet!
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Birthday Mary Lou!
