Tuesday Tidbet.....Prayer Reminder

Long before the invention of sticky notes, PDA's , and computers, people used to tie a string around their finger to help them remember something important. I am very privileged to be entrusted with friends and family members who have very specific prayer requests and needs that I am committed to pray for on a daily basis. Some times the needs are time specific and more urgent and I have found that I need something to remind me to stop and pray during my day. I have tied a string around my finger or even a ribbon around my wrist to remind me to breath a prayer every time I see it or notice it.

If you feel it would look unprofessional to wear a string on your finger at work, try this more discreet method for remembering prayer requests: If you usually wear a watch on one wrist, put it on the other wrist. It probably will feel strange. Each time you notice its presence, say a prayer.

Tuesday Tidbit......All about MEME

I saw this meme at Melli's first.....she got it from Lady Bug who got it from....well let's just say it been around. Here are the rules:

The rules are:

1) Go to Wikipedia
2) In the search box, type your birth month and day but not the year.
3) List three events that happened on your birthday
4) List two important birthdays and one death
5) One holiday or observance (if any)

Events:
1954- Sammy Davis, Jr., loses his left eye in an automobile accident in San Bernardino, California. (I knew he lost his left eye but had no idea how it happened....much less on my birthday!)

1959- Ford Motor Company announces the discontinuation of the unpopular Edsel. ( See Melli, we will always be able to share the Edsel!)

1978- Jim Jones leads members of his Peoples Temple cult in mass murder-suicide. The bodies of 914 people, including 276 children, were found in Jonestown,Guyana in South America.
( such a horrible tragedy!)

1990- Pop group Milli Vanilli are stripped of their Grammy Award because the duo did not sing at all on the Girl You Know It’s True album. Session musicians had provided all the vocals.
( Is this another connection to Melli? or is it really Milli ?)
